Long Beach, CA – The City of Long Beach is in the process of comprehensively updating its Subdivision Ordinance for the first time since 1983. The Ordinance provides guidance and procedures for the design and improvement of various types of land divisions in the city. These regulations help preserve and protect valuable natural resources and amenities in the city while ensuring public health, safety and convenience.

Updates to the Ordinance aim to ensure consistency with State law and the City’s General Plan, including the updated Land Use Element, Mobility Element, Urban Design Element and Local Coastal Program. The updates allow for a more streamlined review process for minor map approvals such as lot mergers, lot line adjustments and parcel maps.

The public is invited to review the draft Subdivision Ordinance and provide written feedback during the comment period through Monday, June 26, 2023. All comments will be considered, and a revised draft will be brought before the Planning Commission for consideration at a public hearing later this summer. Additional opportunities for public input will be provided during the planning process.

To submit a comment during the public comment period, contact Sergio Gutierrez, Project Planner, at Sergio.Gutierrez@longbeach.gov or 562.570.5934.

Media inquiries can be directed to Rick de la Torre, Community Information Officer, Long Beach Development Services Department, at Rick.DeLaTorre@longbeach.gov or 562.570.7174.
