REALTORS!
Be sure to do a thorough research of the communities you represent. For example; The Mulholland Corridor is subject to specific regulations and guidelines.
Constructed in 1922, the intended goal of Mulholland Drive was to provide scenic views of the surrounding terrain and natural landscapes. Because the corridor is a designated scenic parkway, a review and approval process influences architectural projects. The regulatory framework includes compliance with the ‘Mulholland Scenic Parkway Specific Plan’ governing area development. If the ‘Baseline Hillside Ordinance’ (BHO) applies, regulations may affect the building design.
Homeowners undertaking minor improvements of specific projects may be exempt from full reviews or allowed to move forward without extensive oversight. To maintain aesthetic harmony with the natural surroundings, landscape and architectural styles are evaluated to avoid any impact on the scenic character of the parkway.
For a bit of Hollywood trivia, consider reading Parker Macdonald’s discussion entitled, “Hollywood, the City of Dreams and Nightmares: Mentalisation and the Uncanny in David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive.” Assuming as fact that films can think and philosophise, Parker’s use of the phrase ‘Mulholland Drive’s’ in his discourse was inspired by stylistic decisions in the film that emphasise the process of thought. Hmm…may I suggest enjoying the film before reading this University of British Columbia paper published in a student journal?
