Commission discusses adding setbacks for local commercial properties
Summary
Following a recent BZA matter, staff recommended adding a 10–15 foot setback for business-zoned parcels; commissioners asked staff to prepare zone-specific options and placeholder language for future public hearings, noting concerns about congested commercial corridors near the Long Beach Country Club and Hacienda area.
Staff presented a proposal to add setback requirements to business/commercial-zoned properties following a recent BZA application for a liquor store adjacent to the Long Beach Country Club. The proposal included options for 10- or 15-foot setbacks; commissioners asked staff to prepare zone-specific options (for example, a placeholder for a commercial 1 vs. commercial 2 distinction) and to check which existing businesses are formally zoned commercial.
One commissioner urged caution in the Hacienda area, recommending larger setbacks to preserve green space and limit curbside congestion; another commissioner said the changes could be refined before forwarding the draft to public hearing. Staff will prepare setback options and related mapping for the next packet.
