11-unit affordable townhome development at 7916 Long Beach Boulevard
An affordable townhome project on a former auto body shop site — a parcel the city once owned — could bring 11 new for-sale homes to the Long Beach Boulevard corridor. The developer is asking for waivers on setbacks, open space, and parking that would let the project fit the small 0.39-acre lot.
Proposed industrial park at 5037 Patata Street
A developer wants to split a 26.81-acre parcel into three lots for big industrial buildings with offices. The variance for 10-foot perimeter walls — 4 feet above the norm — is the part that most affects the look and feel of the area around the site.
