Thank you. And now we'll move on to hearing what. Report from Development Services recommendation to receive supporting documentation under the record. Conclude the public hearing, find the project exempt from secure and declare the ordinance. Repealing Ordinance related to a special setback on the 5800 block of Linden Avenue. Read the first time lead over to the next regular meeting of City Council for Final Reading District nine. And we have a planning bureau manager, Patricia Defender for. Good evening again, Mayor and council members. So the item before you here is the repeal of an ordinance for that city to 15 foot special setback on this block of Linden Avenue, 5800 Linden Avenue. This is the location of on the map here. And the block is between South Street and 59th Street. Roughly the zoning in the vicinity is multi-family and neighborhood commercial. The development in the area is single family owned, multi-family uses and there's a vacant lot to the east. The special setback. This ordinance dates back to 1954. It was created. It was one of the tools the city used these setbacks to create the opportunity to widen streets. And it was intended to potentially widen the street by 15 feet on each side of Linden Avenue. It precedes some of the contemporary tools that we have to regulate building setbacks and to require public right of way dedications. So there are more effective mechanisms that exist today to implement street dedications and improvements. Some of those include the mobility element. Street designations. The current zoning code, which has set back requirements that are tied to the zoning and the subdivision MAP Act, are some examples of those tools that we now have in our toolkit. So the removal of this special setback would further implement the new zoning that this City Council approved back in November for North Long Beach . The new zones do already have a way to regulate setbacks and do have a ten foot public realm requirement that would be applicable in this area. This particular the extent the geographic extent of this ordinance is very limited. And so it has, you know, limited utility to accomplish what it's trying to accomplish. And this ordinance also potentially conflicts with a development project that is in you know, that is in the works. So with that, the recommendation is to find that the proposed action be exempt, that the proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, and to repeal the special setback on the 5800 block of Linden Avenue.
