TITLE
Recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record, conclude the public hearing, and adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration MND-05-18;

Approve a General Plan Amendment (GPA18-001) and adopt resolution amending page 10 of the Land Use District Map of the Land Use Element of the General Plan relating to the property at 1500 East Anaheim Street from Land Use Districts #2 (Mixed Style Homes) and LUD #8A (Traditional Retail Strip Commercial) to LUD #8R (Mixed Retail-Residential Strip);

DISCUSSION
On July 18, 2019, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed project (Application No. 1710-56) (Attachment A), considered public testimony, and recommended that the City Council approve the requested actions (Attachment B).

The site is located on the south side of Anaheim Street, between Walnut Avenue and an unnamed alley to the west. The site is a collection of seven lots totaling 67,200 square feet (1.54 acres) in area. The site is split-zoned between the Community Commercial Pedestrian-Oriented (CCP) zoning district, which covers the northern 143 feet of the site, and the R-2-N (Two-family Residential, standard lot) zoning district, which covers the southern 81 feet of the site.

The site is currently vacant land and does not host any land use. It is a former Successor Agency property, previously acquired by the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency (RDA). All existing improvements on the site were cleared at the time of, or shortly after, its acquisition by the RDA over a decade ago. Surrounding land uses are listed in the table below.
