On December 3, 2019, the Long Beach City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider certification of the revised Program Environmental Impact Report and adoption of the Land Use Element (LUE) update and its companion Urban Design Element (UDE). The hearing will take place at 5:00 p.m. in the Civic Chambers at Long Beach City Hall located at 411 W. Ocean Blvd.
The revised LUE and UDE are based on the final PlaceType and Height maps approved by the Long Beach City Council in March 2018. Since that time, staff has been working to update the documents to reflect the map changes, and has prepared an updated environmental analysis as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Text in the LUE and UDE has been updated with technical changes to align with the final maps, correct minor errors, and address environmental impacts identified through the environmental review process.
