TITLE
Recommendation to declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code by amending Section 21.37.120 to amend the title of PD-31; and Section 21.37.210 to add SP-4 (Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan) to the list of specific plans, read and adopted as read. (District 7)

On September 1, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing on the Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan (CVCSP) and recommended that the City Council (5-0, with two commissioners absent) approve all requested actions (Attachment A). The item is now presented to the City Council for final approval and enaction.

The proposed new CVCSP would guide the redevelopment of portions of the Century Villages at Cabrillo (CVC) campus in West Long Beach to create a community of 1,380 affordable housing units. The creation of the CVCSP will allow for streamlined review and flexibility of future development while meeting the high standards of design and sustainability laid out in the plan. The adoption of this plan and ultimate construction of these affordable units is a critical component of the City of Long Beach’s (City) larger housing strategy and implementation of the recently certified Housing Element. Over the next ten years, implementation of the CVCSP will continue to serve the existing and future residents of the supportive housing community while upgrading and expanding the housing stock to address community needs, including providing for new service providers, realigning existing amenities as well as creating opportunities for new amenities to better serve CVC residents.
