2602-14 (AUP26-001)

The City of Long Beach has issued a forecast for an Administrative Use Permit application AUP26-001 to establish a commercial kitchen at 2828 E 14th Street for off-site catering operations within the Multi-Family Residential - Moderate zoning district. The request seeks approval to operate a food preparation facility that will support catering services outside the premises, requiring compliance with local land use regulations and zoning restrictions applicable to residential areas. The project is under review by the city’s planning department, with key stakeholders including planner Kevin Nguyendo and architect Jan Van Dijs, who serve as the primary point of contact and design lead respectively. This permit application reflects an effort to balance commercial food service needs with residential neighborhood character, necessitating evaluation of operational impacts such as noise, traffic, parking, and waste management. The forecast notice was posted on June 16, 2026, and public input or formal review procedures may follow in alignment with city permitting protocols. The project’s location and proposed use fall under municipal oversight, with all conditions and approvals contingent upon meeting the city’s standards for land use, health safety, and environmental compatibility.
