3800 Via Oro Project

The 3800 Via Oro Project is a proposed redevelopment initiative by the City of Long Beach, California, involving the demolition of existing on-site structures, landscaping, and at-grade parking to make way for a speculative industrial complex. The project features a concrete tilt-up building of approximately 332,090 square feet designed for a mix of warehousing, manufacturing, and office uses. The structure will have a maximum height of 49 feet, include a mezzanine, and maintain a floor area ratio of 0.56. To comply with Long Beach Municipal Code, the building is intended to achieve LEED Silver Certification. The scope of work also encompasses comprehensive site improvements, including new utilities, infrastructure, lighting, signage, fencing, and landscaping. The project is undergoing a rigorous environmental and regulatory review process to ensure compliance with CEQA and local standards. This includes the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and various technical assessments covering air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, acoustical impacts, vehicle miles traveled, and cultural and paleontological resources. Additional technical studies have been conducted regarding geotechnical stability, hydrology and hydraulics for stormwater management, and an arborist report for tree preservation and removal on the 13.8-acre site. Necessary approvals include CEQA clearance, Site Plan Review, a Tentative Parcel Map for parcel consolidation, and building permits from the City of Long Beach, with additional operational oversight from the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board.
