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

The property at 4105 East Willow Street in Long Beach, California, is being converted under an Interim Motel/Hotel Conversion Permit into temporary supportive housing with 150 beds for individuals experiencing homelessness who have a Serious Mental Illness, including those with co-occurring Substance Use Disorder. This conversion is permitted under Chapter 21.65 of the Long Beach Municipal Code and is contingent upon a formal agreement with the Los Angeles County Mental Health Department, which will manage all resident referrals exclusively. The project will repurpose 134 existing hotel rooms into 100 resident bedrooms—50 single and 50 shared—and 34 additional rooms for administrative, clinical, and community support functions. The permit is valid until July 31, 2030, and may be terminated earlier if the agreement with the County Mental Health Department ends, requiring the applicant to either revert the property to its prior use or secure a new qualifying agreement within 90 days. Approval was granted through a ministerial action under CEQA Section 15268, meaning compliance with fixed municipal code standards automatically triggers issuance, with no competitive evaluation, price negotiation, or discretionary review involved. The applicant must strictly adhere to approved plans, obtain prior written authorization before any deviations, and comply with the Performance Standards outlined in Section 21.65.070. An Approval Acknowledgement form signed by the property owner binds them to these obligations. Inspection and final acceptance will be conducted by the City of Long Beach Zoning Administrator at the project site to confirm regulatory compliance. No federal contract clauses, pricing data, payment terms, or procurement-type structures apply, as this is a local land use permit administered by the City’s Department of Community Development. The primary point of contact for project administration is Marcos Lopez, Jr., Project Planner, and there is no designated contracting officer, COR, or COTR, as this is not a federal acquisition. No Unique Entity Identifier, size certification, or socioeconomic status is required or provided, reflecting its status as a municipal regulatory action rather than a competitive procurement.
