Long Beach Advisory Plan Commission July 20, 2026

The Long Beach Advisory Plan Commission held a meeting on July 20, 2026, primarily focused on proposed amendments to the zoning code, including regulations on accessory structures, residential zoning, park district zoning, and local business setbacks. Key procurement-related discussions involved setting limits on the number and size of accessory buildings permitted on residential lots, with a motion passed to allow one accessory structure per lot, excluding detached garages. The commission also discussed potential rezoning of park areas to a park or public space district to facilitate future development and grant eligibility, particularly for a significant pickleball court project. Additionally, the commission considered introducing setback requirements for commercial properties, an issue raised by recent permit applications. No contract awards or vendor selections were made, but the zoning amendments and park district changes could impact future capital projects and procurement opportunities. The commission agreed to further research and public engagement before finalizing these amendments.
