Planning Commission Public Hearing: 29 Kennebec
2018-12-06 17:00 - 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | City Hall, 333 W. Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA, 90802
A Message from the BPNA President and Vice President of Historic Preservation:
Since mid-summer 2018 interested residents and members of the BPNA Board have been meeting with the owner-developer and his team and working with the City’s Planning Department and the 3rd District City Council Office, after the recent sale of 29 Kennebec which is a large parcel in the Bluff Park Historic District located between E. Ocean Blvd and E. 1st St at the western corner of Kennebec Ave.
This Planning Commission Meeting on December 6, 2018, is focused on the question of dividing the lot between (a) the southern portion that has a historic duplex and a garage with a resident unit, from (b) the northern portion that has a large grassy berm on which once stood a circa 1913 Craftsman home.
Please Note: Details of the design development for the northern portion of the lot are still to-be-determined. The drawings and renderings in Exhibit B are NOT supported by the BPNA and are NOT reflective of the most recent discussions that we in the BPNA have had with the owner-developer and his team, which includes a lobbyist-lawyer and an architect. So far the discussions have been cordial, informative, transparent and helpful, and the owner-developer seems to be receptive to and interested in addressing the concerns of the neighborhood.
The BPNA is fully engaged in the process and committed to upholding the ordinance and design guidelines that reflect the appropriate mass, scale and size for the Bluff Park Historic District and the allowable zoning under current law.
For more information or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us here.

City Council Meeting: Short-Term Rentals
2018-12-04 17:00 - 18:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | City Hall, 333 W. Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA, 90802
After several community meetings, the Long Beach City Council on Tuesday, December 4th, will review options for regulating short-term rentals, including those promoted with online home-sharing platforms such as Airbnb and HomeAway. Three options are being considered, though city staff is recommending Option 2 which deals with short-term rentals in two types of units — primary residences, where the host lives at least nine months of the year, and non-primary residences.
If you are interested in voicing an opinion to your elected officials, you can attend the Tuesday’s Council meeting (5:00 p.m. start), comment on the city’s Legistar site, or email/call your council person. Councilwoman Suzie Price’s office can be reached at District3@LongBeach.gov or (562) 570-6300.

From Councilwoman Suzie Price (12/02/2018):
Dear Neighbor,

At the City Council meeting this Tuesday we will be discussing a few items I think you might be interested in. The meeting begins with two presentations, one for the Employee of the Month, and the other is for Computer Science Education Week.

As always, please feel free to attend the meeting and provide public comment on any items you are interested in or you can email your comments to my office at Jack.Cunningham@longbeach.gov prior to the meeting.

Item #18: Shelter and Addiction Bed Audit and Incentive Feasibility

Link to Agenda Item

I am bringing this item to the City Councilin order to improve how we address homelessness and addiction in Long Beach.

One of the most difficult parts of addressing homelessness is the availability of shelter beds that serve to help get those in need off the streets. If we as a city are to improve our ability to provide shelter for those in need we must be able to know exactly how many beds there are in the City that are available for Long Beach residents struggling with homelessness. In addition to the number of city operated, privately operated, and non-profit operated beds in the City for sheltering the homeless, it is also important for the City to have specific data on how many rehabilitation, medical detox, and sobriety beds there are, because addiction continues to be a major issue for our current homeless population.

The lack of certainty, and likely small number of beds available in the City causes our law enforcement officers to be less able to enforce ordinance violations, therefore an audit should be conducted of number; and types of beds for those experiencing homelessness and/or in need of treatment. Additionally this item asks for the City to evaluate the feasibility of developing incentives for private and non-profit groups to establish addiction related rehabilitation and detox beds in Long Beach with the expectation that priority would be given to those in need of these services who have been referred to them by the Long Beach Police Department or other Long Beach City entity.

Item #21: Short Term Rentals
Link to Agenda Item

The topic of Short Term Rentals has been a discussion for quite some time in Long Beach. Now after several Citywide community meetings to gather input, as well as my own community meeting focused on this topic, it is coming before the City Council to discuss. Based on the Citywide meetings conducted by City staff they are recommending the adoption of Option 2 (included in the link below).

The recent rise of the sharing economy, particularly the significant growth in short-term rentals using online platforms, such as Airbnb and HomeAway, enable individuals to rent out real property, not traditionally part of the temporary lodging marketplace, for 30 days or less. As a result, STRs have grown in the number of properties available and the frequency with which they are rented. This trend has contributed to local concerns regarding quality of life, noise, safety, housing affordability, parking, and enforcement.

I look forward to this discussion with my colleagues as we work together to craft a policy that takes into account the input (both pros and cons) that residents throughout the City have provided.

Short Term Rental - Community Workshop
2018-07-21 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Museum of Latin American Art Balboa Studio, 628 alamitos ave, long beach, United States
Long Beach Short-Term Rental Ordinance – COMMUNITY WORKSHOP – JULY 21

What is a short-term rental?
A short-term rental (STR), or vacation rental, is a property that is typically
furnished and rented for a short-term stay. STRs can provide several
economic benefits, such as increased tourism activity and more spending
at local businesses. STRs can also present challenges to the housing stock,
and have adverse impacts on traffic and parking in neighborhoods.

Let’s keep the conversation going.
The City of Long Beach is in the process of developing a proposed STR
ordinance to establish regulations for operating STRs, and we want your
input. The community is invited to provide opinions, ask important questions, and voice any concerns on this effort.

Join us for a Community Roundtable Workshop.
The City is hosting a series of opportunities for the community to offer input. You’re invited to attend a Community Roundtable Workshop:

When: Saturday, July 21, 2018
Time: 10:00 a.m. – Noon
Where: NEW LOCATION Museum of Latin American Art Balboa Studio
628 Alamitos Ave.

Translation services in Spanish, Tagalog, and Khmer, as well as light
refreshments will be provided.

Get Involved.

Come to this meeting to find out about the real life experiences of a 9-1-1 dispatcher.
Commander Erik Herzog of the Long Beach Police Department East Division will lead us in an engaging and informative presentation.
Learn how you can help get needed services in the most timely and efficient manner.

Walk . Bike . Drive . It’s just a short jaunt from your home!
Free Parking available in the back of the building. Heading north on Junipero Avenue, turn right on Carroll Park West and proceed to the parking lot behind the church.
The meeting room is designated as the Berke Fellowship Hall.
Special Thanks to our neighbor, Pastor James Proper, for the generous use of the meeting facilities at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church!
