Long Beach Board of Zoning Appeals June 10, 2026

The Long Beach Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on June 10, 2026, primarily addressing zoning variance petitions. The board discussed two public hearings: one petition was continued to the next meeting due to an absent member, and the second involved a variance request for reconstruction of an elevated deck at 2202 Lakeshore Drive. The petitioner sought relief from setback requirements due to the deck being rebuilt without a permit. The board heard opposition from the local fire department citing safety concerns about narrow setbacks. After discussion, the petitioner agreed to withdraw the variance request and pursue compliance with setback ordinances through the building commission, potentially avoiding the need for variances. No contract awards, budget allocations, or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
