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.

ABOUT YOUR HISTORIC LAMPPOST PROJECT
All proceeds support the BPNA for its nonprofit historic preservation community initiative, the Bluff Park Historic Lamppost Project‘s 2nd phase.
The Project‘s 1st phase has been funded, and this event will raise funds for the next phase. The Bluff Park Historic Lamppost Project is a historic preservation, community benefit initiative whose goal is to remove the inappropriate modern freeway style street lights and install ornamental lampposts that respect the intent in the early 1900’s, matching the original lampposts that only exist on one street in the neighborhood.

Land Use Element (LUE) Agenda Item at City Council Meeting
2018-03-06 17:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | City Hall, 333 W. Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA, 90802
The Land Use & Urban Design Elements (LUE) Proposal of Long Beach’s General Plan is coming to the City Council on Tuesday, March 6 @ 5:00 PM. The public is invited to attend and submit comments.
We want to hear from you!
The BPNA board passed a motion to ask that the height be reduced in the western section of the Bluff Park Historic District. The board believes that doing so will better reflect the current predominant mass and scale of our residential buildings and help protect the historic integrity of the overall neighborhood.

Let us know if you agree, disagree or have additional constructive thoughts.
More info and the online form for your input is at https://bluffpark.org/city-news/. Please respond by February 7.
Read about the city’s general plan, review the maps, and understand the misconceptions.
Join in the conversation with the BPNA board. Also feel free to convey your thoughts directly to the 3rd Council District’s Councilwoman Suzie Price.
