On September 14, 2021, the City Council will hear the following project at its regularly scheduled meeting:
Proposed Project: The proposed Project consists of changes to the Long Beach Municipal Code (LBMC) that would amend sections 21.25.506 (Findings Required), Chapters 18.15, 18.16, 18.17, and 18.18 related to impact fee waivers for affordable units in mixed-income buildings, and add a new chapter (Chapter 21.68) related to the following: establishing an Enhanced Density Bonus Ordinance to facilitate the development of mixed income multi-family housing on properties that already allow 5 or more housing units, by establishing regulations that offer a density bonus and development concessions in exchange for the provision of on-site, deed-restricted, very low-, low-, or moderate-income housing units. No development projects are proposed at this time. (Citywide).
Environmental Review: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, a Negative Declaration (ND) has been prepared for the Project and finds that the Project would not have any potential significant adverse environmental impacts. The ND (08-20) was circulated for a 30-day public review period between May 3, 2021 and June 3, 2021. The Initial Study and ND are on file and are available by visiting the City’s Environmental Reports Page.
The public will have the option to use eComment to provide comments on agenda items. Written comments may also be submitted by email to cityclerk@longbeach.gov.
A staff report will be available for public review on or about September 10, 2021. This report may be viewed on the City website at www.longbeach.gov.
If you challenge this action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or issues raised via written correspondence delivered to the City prior to the public hearing.
