Chatsworth Metrolink Station

Location: Chatsworth, California, USA

Client: Metropolitan Transportation Authority

Johnson Fain developed a joint-use master plan for the Chatsworth Metrolink Station, including community serving and revenue-producing uses for the 31-acre station and adjoining site. Specialty retail stores complemented by community serving uses will assist in establishing the site as the center of activity for the community of Chatsworth. A replica of the historic Chatsworth Station will house the Metrolink passenger needs. Other uses which add to the vitality of the site are housing, movie theaters and limited office uses. The master planning process included a series of community workshops as well as extensive interface with the local Council office and the Chatsworth Station Master Plan Task Force.

Inspired by the magnificent rock formations of the Santa Susana Mountains that surround the site and the rich landscape tradition of the region exemplified by the native California Oak, the master plan establishes the site as the focal point of a regional framework of open space and greenways. The site becomes an integral part of a larger landscape and recreation system and connects with pedestrian and bicycle routes as well as extends an existing bridle path system. Landscape improvements, along with design controls for the Devonshire and Lassen Street frontages complement the “Town Center” vision for the site.
