Story:

The project is an infill development on a former church parking lot, adjacent to the Rose Park Historic District. The goal was to bring more workforce housing to Long Beach. Based on the site constraints, including a narrow lot further impacted by right of way dedications, we were able to get 23 units. We negotiated a creative solution for one of the right-of-way dedications for a bus shelter that was impacting a setback and would have resulted in reducing the number of units. The project required a zone change, and is one of the first projects approved under the provisions of the recently adopted Land Use Element. This project was approved in just over a year from project start to planning commission and City Council approval.

Burnham Planning & Development is proud to help bring this project to completion. We have extensive experience in getting projects entitled in Long Beach and throughout Southern California. In total, we have assisted with the entitlements for over 1,200 units.
