TITLE
3. Adopt resolution directing the Director of Development Services
to submit the amendment to Title 21 to the California Coastal
Commission for a finding of conformance with the Local Coastal
Plan. (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 It is therefore requested that they be rescinded in order to avoid confusion.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.
