The City of Long Beach’s Community Development Department invites the public to provide feedback on the proposed rezoning of the city’s central neighborhoods during a virtual community meeting on Thursday, April 11.
The rezoning efforts, which the City named “The Zone In: City Core,” encompasses the area bordered by the Pacific Coast Highway, 10th Street, Magnolia and Ximeno Avenues.
After over two years of working with Central Long Beach communities, the City has published draft zoning regulations and a rezoning map online for public review. The Community Development Department has also developed an interactive draft rezoning map for users to explore the proposed zones, along with descriptions for each zoning district and the ability to search specific addresses.
The Zone In: City Core initiative aims to update the zoning regulations of the area to support the development of new housing and a wider range of building uses, particularly along commercial corridors such as Anaheim Street and Pacific Coast Highway. The plan aims to foster a pedestrian-friendly environment where residents, businesses, jobs, and shopping are in close proximity, according to a public statement by the City.
The online public meeting on Thursday, April 11 will take place from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Participants can join online through Zoom or via phone at 213-338-8466, with Meeting ID: 994 5666 5878. RSVPs are encouraged. Interpretation services will be offered in Spanish and Khmer, with other languages available upon request through the online registration form. Registration is encouraged but not required.
Residents can submit comments on the published draft zoning regulations to the City until April 22, by emailing Felice.Anaya@longbeach.gov, using the subject line “City Core Public Input.”
