Recommendation to declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal code by adding Chapter 21.65, relating to Interim Motel/Hotel Conversions, read and adopted as read.  (Citywide)
Motion carries. Club, would you please? Item 45 Please. Report from Development Services recommendation or declare an ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code relating to interim motel hotel conversions read and adopted as read citywide. When we got this item. There is public comment on this item. Said John King. 3 minutes starts now. But. Oh, yes, I think everybody everybody let me speak. I'm in support of this because I know some in the community are against this and in their community. But this is a great site because it's on the busy intersection of Long Beach, where the homeless is already using Motel six four years to live in. With their families. Some of them are students and vets that go to the vet V.A. next door and to the college. And they also use Cal. I mean, the O.C. transit busses and Long Beach busses. So it's the best site to put the homeless facility that you're looking at to do it. It's not in anybody's neighborhood with a lot of homes or anything. And so the negative. Comments people make about the homeless will not be there. And most people today don't even know. A lot of the homeless is already using the Motel six for temporary housing. So I hope that you pass this because we need it. And our homeless problem is only growing. And with the shortages isn't getting worse. Thanks to our fires that we have me now and people are losing towns and cities and their homes is not being replaced. So I hope you do pass it and keep up the good work. Thank you. Thank you. That concludes public comment. Thank you. And you accountable. Vice Mayor Andrews, this is Councilman Price. I have a comment. I just wanted to clarify that this particular item that we're voting on tonight has really nothing to do with the Motel six project, which is a county project and not a city project. Yes. This is Tom. That is correct. We have a motion which. You have? Some of. It is. The sun has. Thank you. Greg, could you please go for the vote? District one. By. District. Okay. By District four. By District five. By District six. By District seven. I District eight. But District nine. Oh. Motion carries.
