Long Beach Advisory Plan Commission October 19, 2026

The Long Beach Advisory Plan Commission meeting on October 19, 2026, focused on the comprehensive plan update and related zoning work. Members discussed the planning consultant McKenna’s fees and scope: approximately $14,500 had already been spent on the update, and additional work involving the zoning map and participation in the public-hearing process was discussed. Estimates were unclear in the transcript: $3,000–$4,000 was mentioned for completing hearing-related work, while members later described adding the map and participation as about $1,000 and discussed allowing up to $5,000 to avoid returning to the council for a small additional amount. No new spending authorization or procurement vote was clearly recorded.

The commission discussed a schedule to review the near-final plan and zoning-ordinance edits at its November 16 meeting, with a public hearing on the comprehensive plan targeted for December and further zoning-map and community-center rezoning work expected afterward. Members also raised possible future amendments concerning 30-day rentals and corporate rentals of homes to data-center workers; no action was taken on those proposals. The meeting approved prior minutes and adjourned, but no contract award or vendor selection was made.
