TITLE
Recommendation to declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code by amending Section 5.72.200; by adding Section 21.15.1855; and by repealing City Council Resolution Nos. RES-06-0003 and RES-14-0030, all relating to the Downtown Dining and Entertainment District, read and adopted as read. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to the action of the City Council on December 2, 2014, amendments to LBMC Titles 5 (entertainment permits in the Downtown Dining and Entertainment District) and 21 (Zoning) have been prepared and are now submitted to the City Council for approval.
The proposed amendment to Title 5 incorporates the changes recommended by the Downtown Dining and Entertainment District Task Force. The former ordinance set forth the regulations in two Council resolutions. The proposed amendment supersedes and replaces these resolutions. It is therefore requested that they be rescinded in order to avoid confusion.
The proposed amendment to Title 21 provides a definition of "nightclub," which was previously not included in the Code. The Planning Commission considered and approved this amendment at its meeting on November 20, 2014. In addition, it is requested that the attached resolution be adopted forwarding the City-wide amendment to the Zoning regulations affecting the Coastal Zone to the California Coastal Commission, as required by state law.
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE:
Public Hearing notices were published in the Long Beach Press-Telegram in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
