Park Tower Student Housing Project

Park Tower Student Housing Project

The Project will adaptively reuse an existing seven-story office building with three levels of subterranean parking located at 5150 Pacific Coast Highway in the City of Long Beach (City), California. The existing office building is approximately 120,000 square feet (sf), of which 109,600 sf is currently leased. The Project would involve the adaptive reuse of the existing building into a private dormitory (housing for students) with 149 student residential suites (593 beds). The Project is proposing a General Plan Amendment from the current Community Commercial (CC) Placetype to the Neighborhood Serving Center (NSC-Moderate) Placetype, which would permit residential uses. The Project would also require a Zoning Code Amendment/Map Change to change the existing zone from Community Commercial Automobile Oriented (CCA) to Mixed-Use (MU 3) to allow for the Project’s student residential uses and to enable the Project to take advantage of the adaptive reuse development standards. The Project would also require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the “Special Group Residence” and Site Plan review of adaptive reuse.
