The City of Long Beach has issued an Administrative Use Permit (AUP25-012) for the establishment of a tattoo parlor at 1232-1234 Belmont Avenue, located within the Mixed Use 3 (A-Series) (MU-3-A) Zoning District. The project involves a change of use for an existing 891-square-foot commercial tenant space. A key detail of the location is that the site is situated within 700 feet of a public or private primary or secondary school. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project has been granted a Notice of Exemption (CE-25-097) under Categorical Exemption 15301, Class 1, as the proposal is a change of use within an existing building and involves no expansion of the building footprint. The administrative process is managed by the City of Long Beach Community Development Department, with Planner Gopi Shah serving as the lead agency contact. The project is associated with NAICS code 812199 and was formally signed on October 27, 2025.
