City of Redondo Beach 2021-2029 Housing Element

The City of Redondo Beach is advancing an amendment to its certified 2021–2029 Housing Element to replace existing affordable housing overlay districts on identified housing sites with high-density residential zoning of 65 dwelling units per acre and mixed-use zoning ranging from 65 to 80 dwelling units per acre. This change requires corresponding updates to Title 10 of the City’s Planning and Zoning Ordinances, specifically Chapters 1 on Subdivisions and Chapter 2 on Zoning and Land Use, to align with the revised housing goals and land use designations. The project is rooted in a certified addendum to the Redondo Beach Focused General Plan Update, Zoning Ordinance Update, and Local Coastal Program Amendment Program Environmental Impact Report, which serves as the environmental compliance foundation under the California Environmental Quality Act. The City acts as the Lead Agency and has completed a Negative Declaration finding no significant environmental impacts requiring mitigation, with no monitoring plan or overriding considerations adopted. All actions are site-specific to Redondo Beach, California, with no federal procurement clauses, contract values, or pricing structures identified, indicating this is a local planning and regulatory initiative rather than a traditional acquisition contract. The Planning Manager, Sean Scully, serves as the primary point of contact, and all related documents are publicly accessible via the City's housing element website. The procedural timeline includes a May 5, 2026, submission deadline for environmental comments and a June 5, 2026, adoption date, with the official posting occurring on June 8, 2026, marking formal completion of the CEQA process.
