The Porter Ranch master development plan was first proposed in 1989 and had been in the talks for a decade before the first phase, which included a new 600,000 sq ft (56,000 m2) of commercial and retail alongside 3,400 new homes and townhomes along the Santa Susana Hills, was finally approved in 1990 by Hal Bernson. [3] The Porter Ranch Specific Plan and Porter Ranch Land Use and Transportation Specific Plan was adopted on September 4, 1990, and the Porter Ranch Town Center became the first phase. [4] The plan has been through many revisions and it was finally reduced from 2,000,000 sq ft (190,000 m2) to 600,000 sq ft (56,000 m2). [5] After the Porter Ranch Town Center was constructed by Shappell Industries, which built most of the housing developments in Porter Ranch, it was seen as the largest single development in Los Angeles.

[7] It has been used as a community center in past disasters and wildfires as well.
The proposal of a new commercial retail center was disapproved by local residents, claiming that the center would host big box centers rather than luxury boutiques. [8] The 1990s economic slump has been noted as one of the reasons for the change in the tenants and why the Porter Ranch Town Center was different from what the local community envisioned, and the builders, Shappell Industries, have stayed away from addressing the upset community. [9] The announced tenant, a Walmart, becoming an anchor caused community opposition when the shopping center was opened. [10]
