2505-21 (SPR25-018) (PLNE59746) Interim Motel/Hotel Conversion Permit

The City of Long Beach has issued an Interim Motel/Hotel Conversion Permit for the property located at 4105 East Willow Street to convert a former hotel into interim supportive housing. This project, approved on August 27, 2025, is designed to provide 150 beds for individuals experiencing homelessness who have a Serious Mental Illness and potentially co-occurring Substance Use Disorder. The facility will utilize 100 rooms for resident housing, split equally between single and shared occupancy, while 34 rooms are designated for essential program functions such as administrative offices, community spaces, lounges, and storage. Operationally, the housing is restricted to a referral-only process managed by the Los Angeles County Mental Health Department. The project must adhere to the Performance Standards of Section 21.65.070 of the Long Beach Municipal Code and be constructed in strict compliance with approved plans; any unauthorized deviations will result in the denial of final construction approval. The permit is set to expire on July 31, 2030, or upon the termination of the agreement between the applicant and the Los Angeles County Mental Health Department. In the event of termination, the applicant must notify the Department of Community Development within 90 days to either apply for a return to original zoning use or provide a new executed agreement.
