TITLE
Recommendation to declare ordinance amending the Use District Map of the City of Long Beach as said Map has been established and amended by amending portions of Part 22 of said Map from CCA (Community Commercial Automobile-Oriented) and R-1-N (Single-Family Residential) to CCN (Community R-4-N), read and adopted as read.

DISCUSSION
On June 18, 2020, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed project (Application No. 1707-11) (Attachment A - Location), considered public testimony, and recommended that the City Council approve the requested actions (Attachment B - Planning Commission Report).

The site is a former redevelopment property located on the east side of Long Beach Boulevard, between East Home Street to the south and Sunset Street to the north, in the Addams Neighborhood of North Long Beach. The site encompasses seven parcels, for a total project area of 1.8 acres (approximately 78,621 square feet), and is zoned Community Commercial Automobile-Oriented (CCA) and Single-Family Residential (R-1-N). Five of the parcels have stood vacant since 2013 and two are developed with a 1,478-square-foot single-family residence. The developer seeks to demolish the existing single-family residence and construct 38 three-story for-sale townhomes. The proposal also requires a Zone Change to CCN (Community R-4-N) to facilitate development of the townhomes (Attachment C - Zone Change Map).

The project site is immediately bordered by commercial and residential uses to the north, across Sunset Street; commercial uses and Dooley Elementary School to the west, across Long Beach Boulevard; commercial uses and multi-family residential uses to the south, across Home Street; and residential uses immediately to the east, as well as across Cedar Avenue. The project site and adjacent uses are shown in Figure 1.
