SCP CEEEJ Laguna Beach Downtown Specific Plan Phase II

The contract involves the continuation of the City of Laguna Beach's efforts to update its Downtown Specific Plan through Phase II, building upon the completed Phase I. The scope of Phase II includes expanding opportunities for infill housing, increasing housing density without limits, raising maximum building heights, designating residential as an allowable use in certain zones where it is currently restricted, and permitting parcel mergers specifically for affordable housing developments in targeted areas. The project will commence with the preparation of a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) to evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with these proposed changes. The anticipated outcomes of this phase include the addition of approximately 200 to 400 residential units, which aims to enhance housing supply, affordability, and choice while also contributing to reduced vehicle miles traveled. The project is a collaborative effort with The Kennedy Commission, emphasizing a partnership approach.
