Boards and Commission: Planning Commission - July 8, 2026

The City of Manhattan Beach Planning Commission held a meeting on July 8, 2026, focusing primarily on two key agenda items related to local land use and zoning regulations. The commission approved a resolution to amend the permitted hours of operation for an existing restaurant at 309 Manhattan Beach Boulevard, including a new condition requiring the second story patio doors to remain closed when the patio is closed to address noise concerns. Additionally, the commission reviewed and unanimously approved omnibus zone text amendments to the Manhattan Beach Municipal Code and Local Coastal Program. These amendments aimed to clarify existing regulations, ensure internal consistency, and maintain compliance with state laws, including updates to definitions, setback requirements, and accessory structure regulations. The commission recommended the amendments be forwarded to the City Council for final approval. No new procurement or contracting decisions were discussed during the meeting.
