(UPDATED Aug. 26, 2017, 4:50 a.m. from Aug. 25, 2017, 10:05 p.m.) -- After LBREPORT.com reported it last night (Aug. 25, 10:05 p.m.), someone belatedly updated the City of Long Beach's Development Services webpage to include a link to the latest maps showing city staff's proposed increased density and increased building heights. For nearly two weeks, links on that page under the heading "latest news" didn't include links to the latest maps. (If you relied on that page's earlier links, you haven't seen what's proposed now.)

LBREPORT.com has reported and linked to city staff's most recent proposed increased density/increased height maps since Aug. 12. There are nine maps, one for each of LB's Council districts. (In our Aug. 12 report, LBREPORT.com noted that the maps displayed in city staff's Feb. 2017 draft land use document have been superceded by staff's new proposed maps that came to the Planning Commission on Aug. 17.)

The most recent city staff proposed increased height/density maps are now belatedly on the City's Development Services webpage, at this link. LBREPORT.com also uploaded a backup copy of the updated maps onto our server at this link.

Click the link and scroll through the maps to find your neighborhood and other areas of interest. Areas marked 3ST, 5ST and the like mean "3 stories" or "five stories." The maps are pdf files allowing one to "zoom in" and "zoom out" on specific map areas. .

City staff's omission was compounded on Friday afternoon (Aug. 25) when 4th district Councilman Daryl Supernaw's office told recipients of its weekly e-newsletter that the Development Services webpage included an August 17 report from city staff to the Planning Commission...which it didn't (and didn't include the maps showing 4th district residents what city staff now proposes for them and beyond.)
