Summary

The board renewed a previously granted variance (number 3402) so the owner can proceed with a planned porch/front-entry replacement after the contractor missed the earlier permit window.

The Long Beach Zoning Board of Appeals renewed variance number 3402 for Karen (Carol) Leone at 32 Illinois Avenue, allowing a previously approved front entry and terrace to proceed after a contractor delay prevented completion within the original permit window.

Attorney Dennis G. Kelly represented the owner and told the board the plans remained unchanged from the earlier approval on March 21, 2024; the contractor had not filed for or completed the work within the timeline set by the prior variance. Kelly said the contractor is now prepared to start work within about two weeks and asked the board to renew the variance so construction can proceed.

Commissioners confirmed there were no changes to the approved plans, heard no public opposition during the meeting, and moved to grant the renewal. The board granted the renewal for the front yard setback relief and related variances as requested.

The applicant must complete work and obtain required building permits and inspections consistent with the earlier approval and any conditions imposed with the renewal.
