"The Commission adopted a geographic split plan developed by the California telecommunications industry for the 818 area code. Under this plan, a new area code would be introduced, if needed, to serve the southwestern part of the current 818 area code, while the 818 area code would be retained by the northeastern portion of the area.

In a geographic split, the 747 area code will serve the Agoura, Canoga Park, Reseda and Van Nuys rate areas, including portions of the City and County of Los Angeles and the cities of Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Hidden Hills and Westlake Village. All existing numbers in the northeastern area will retain the 818 area code, including portions of the City and County of Los Angeles, and the cities and communities of Burbank, Glendale, La Canada-Flintridge and San Fernando."
