Long Beach Advisory Plan Commission October 5, 2026

The Long Beach Advisory Plan Commission meeting on October 5, 2026, focused on the comprehensive plan update and proposed zoning-code revisions. The commission discussed its existing contract with consultant McKenna and asked for clarification on the remaining work and fees needed to complete the plan and zoning map. Members noted that the map provided may be outdated and agreed that the local business district should remain; proposed setbacks are to be incorporated. No new contract award or specific spending amount was identified.

The commission also reviewed draft zoning amendments, including provisions for accessory structures, home-based child care, and distinguishing renovation from substantial demolition. Members agreed to strike a restriction on who may provide child-care services in a home-based business. Setback language and the community-center/park rezoning provisions are to be combined into an ordinance draft. Comments on the plan and zoning materials are due to Seth within seven days; the commission is targeting a public hearing in November and town council consideration in December. No final adoption of the plan or zoning changes occurred at this meeting.
