The proposed project involves the demolition of all structures on site to facilitate development of a new mixed-use project consisting of: 281 residential dwelling units (268 market rate units and 13 affordable at the very low-income level), 3,100 square feet of commercial retail space in a building with 592,100 square feet of total area, including parking and an overall building height of 85 feet 6 inches (at roof level). The project includes 507 parking spaces, 143 bicycle parking spaces and approximately 27,534 square feet of common and private open space areas on the property within the MU-CC Zoning District. (District 3)
On April 20, 2023 and June 15, 2023, the Long Beach Planning Commission approved the proposed project and associated discretionary actions (site plan review, sign program, and local coastal development permit). Since the Planning Commission hearings, the proposed project was appealed to City Council. On July 18, 2023, City Council took the following actions:
• Adopt a Resolution determining that the proposed project is consistent with and within the scope of the project previously analyzed as part of the Southeast Area Specific Plan Program Environmental Impact report (State Clearinghouse No. 2015101075) and subject to the Southeast Area Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and making certain findings and determinations related
thereto and warrants no further environmental review.
• Deny the appeals and uphold the decision of the Planning Commission to approve the Site Plan Review (SPR 22-093) and a Local Coastal Development Permit (LCDP 2208-36) and adopt certain findings and determinations related thereto for a project within the appealable area of the Coastal Zone.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 and Section 15168(c)(2)
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is consistent with the development density and use regulations established by the Southeast Area Specific Plan (SEASP) for which a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) was certified in 2017 (SCH Number 2015101075). The proposed project is consistent with the SEASP and zoning. Therefore, pursuant to Sections 15183 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the evaluation of environmental impacts in a checklist is focused on project-specific significant effects that are peculiar to the project or its site. Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168(c)(2) and 15183, the checklist confirms that environmental effects of the proposed project are within the scope of the SEASP PEIR. No significant impacts not already identified in the SEASP PEIR would result from implementation of the proposed project.
