Council adopts zoning amendment expanding inclusionary housing ordinance citywide
Summary
On second reading the council adopted an amendment to the zoning code that expands the municipal inclusionary housing requirements beyond downtown and midtown submarkets to apply citywide and modifies affordability requirements.
The City Council approved a zoning code amendment on second reading that expands Long Beach’s inclusionary housing rules citywide and adjusts affordability requirements.
The ordinance, adopted as read by the council, extends inclusionary requirements that had applied within downtown and midtown plan areas to the entire city. The measure changes qualifying submarket applicability and affordability percentages in the inclusionary housing policy; staff said the ordinance formalizes council direction to use inclusionary tools more broadly to produce affordable units as new development occurs.
Council adopted the ordinance on the record (second reading). No additional amendments were offered during the meeting; details of new affordability targeting and implementation mechanics were described in the staff report and the associated draft code language.
