Welcome! Welcome to the San Fernando Valley – fondly known as “the Valley”— where blue skies keep watch 329 days of the year. From the world’s center for entertainment to the rich, cultural heritage of our ethnic neighborhoods, the Valley mingles small town charm with big city lifestyles. The Valley has evolved from a collection of ranches and farms to an area of 40 bustling communities with a population of almost 1.8 million within its 260 square miles. It is our nation’s #1 retail market and home to small and family-owned businesses, as well as multi-national corporations and public companies. The Valley has served as a backdrop for many Westerns and other television and film productions; provided a home base for businesses including the aerospace and entertainment industries; and has become a favorite location for many colleges, universities, and trade schools. Boasting beautiful weather conditions year-round, the Valley enjoys an average daily temperature of 77.5 º F (25º C) making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. If we had to choose a central hub for the Valley, it would most likely be Ventura Boulevard, a strip of high-end restaurants and shops that stretches from Universal City to Thousand Oaks. Here you’ll find everything from diners and fast-food joints, boutique shopping to traditional clothing stores, grocery stores, coffee shops and lots of retail shopping. The Valley offers immense options for business and pleasure. If you’re looking for a place to live, work, play or shop, this directory is your guide. If you have any additional questions about the Valley, please contact the Greater San Fernando Valley Chamber of Commerce at (818) 989-0300, www.sanfernandovalleychamber.com or the San Fernando Valley Visitors & Convention Bureau, www.visitvalleyofthestars.org.

Getting Around For many years, visitors and residents alike thought they needed a car to travel around the Valley and other parts of Los Angeles. With the introduction of urban rail, subways, and bus routes, this perception is beginning to change and is evident in the number of riders who now take mass transit for their business and pleasure travel. The most recent addition to our transit system is the innovative Orange Line that cuts across the Valley. This urban light rail system travels 14 miles between Warner Center and the North Hollywood Red Line subway station and is being extended four miles north from the Canoga Station to the Chatsworth Metrolink Station, offering improvements to northsouth mobility in the western San Fernando Valley. In addition, the Valley’s location provides access to major freeways, airports and train stations, allowing for more extensive travel throughout the United States. Bob Hope Airport, located in Burbank, is served by six major airlines and handles 4.6 million passengers annually. Affectionately known as “Burbank Airport,” it has two terminals and its Valley location is a wonderful alternative to LAX. Open since 1928, Van Nuys Airport is the busiest general aviation airport in the world and home to private, chartered, and small commercial aircraft. It is one of four airports owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports, including Los Angeles International, Ontario International and Palmdale Regional. 10
Van Nuys Airport is also home to the Van Nuys FlyAway Bus service, which provides non-stop bus service from Van Nuys to Los Angeles International Airport. This allows travelers to park their cars at Van Nuys and not have to deal with driving to LAX or parking fees at LAX. For your convenience, we have included contact numbers you can call to find out about freeway conditions, bus and train schedules, carpooling, etc.

Doing Business in the Valley The San Fernando Valley has come a long way since the beginning of the 20th Century when its fertile ground not only nourished the development of California’s citrus industry, but also the State’s then fledgling movie and aviation industries. Today, the Valley is the nation’s #1 retail market and is home to small business, family-owned business, as well as L.A.’s most popular public companies. Here are just a few reasons to do business in the Valley: • It puts you in the midst of the aerospace, aviation, and entertainment industries; think government contracts, large corporations. • It provides you with easy access to major freeways leading to other parts of Los Angeles and the state of California. • Its abundance of colleges, universities and trade schools offer businesses a pool of potential interns, employees, and customers. • You are part of neighborhood that is loyal to its local businesses. If all this isn’t enough, you have the support of the Greater San Fernando Valley Chamber of Commerce. Since its formation in 1911 as the Van Nuys Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber has been “the force behind business” in the region. It recognized then, as it 12
does now, that the Valley’s life-blood depends upon the health of its business economy. To help businesses achieve success, the Chamber provides a variety of resources, educational and informational programs, and advocacy at all levels of government. The Chamber has direct access to the “movers and shakers” in Los Angeles, the state of California, and on Capitol Hill. They have developed strategic partnerships and relationships with the Valley Economic Alliance, Valley Economic Development Center, and VICA providing a unified voice for Valley business. These relationships also provide business owners with invaluable resources to improve and successfully operate their business, including access to business loans, webinars, seminars and workshops.
CLAY LACY AVIATION
The Chamber also offers members access to: • Businesses in the community, allowing networking and relationship building to take place. • SCORE, a program offered through the Small Business Administration to provide entrepreneurs with free, confidential face-to-face business counseling. • Updates on our State and local legislators’ voting records • Business discounts from other members • International trips

Demographics in the Valley The San Fernando Valley is a geographical area roughly bounded by the Santa Susana Mountains to the north and west, the Santa Monica Mountains to the south, and the San Gabriel Mountains to the east. It lies wholly within Los Angeles County and includes the cities of: Burbank, Calabasas, Glendale, Hidden Hills, and San Fernando, as well as the Valley portion of the City of Los Angeles. This is roughly defined as the area north of Mulholland Dr. and west of Barham Blvd. It comprises the largest part of the San Fernando Valley, accounting for approximately 80 percent of the Valley’s population and 77 percent of its land area. The Los Angeles portion of the Valley is better known by its array of “named
communities.” At present, 27 “named” communities make up the Los Angeles portion of the Valley, including Universal City, home to Universal Studios Hollywood. None of these communities are legal entities; all are part of Los Angeles. The power to name a particular area rests with the Los Angeles City Council, and they exercise that power, carving newly named communities out of existing ones. In recent years, three new areas have been carved out and named – West Hills, Valley Village and Valley Glen. The Valley portion also accounts for an important and sizable part of the City of Los Angeles with 47 percent of its land area and 37 percent of its population.
