Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Redondo Beach public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Artesia and Aviation Boulevards Revitalization
The city is updating zoning rules for commercial properties along the Artesia and Aviation Corridors to encourage business growth and investment. These changes refine land use regulations in C-2 and C-2-PD zones.
General Plan Land Use Element and FAR Limits
The city is reviewing building intensity and floor area ratio limits for public, institutional, and non-residential properties to shape future development standards.
Rooftop Dining Regulations in AACAP
New regulations are being established to allow rooftop dining within the Artesia and Aviation Corridors, giving restaurants more creative design options and outdoor dining capacity.
November 2026 Land Use Ballot Measure
Staff was seeking direction on the General Plan update, including whether to fold the latest Housing Element into the Article XXVII traffic analysis and what land use and zoning changes should go to voters in November 2026.
Waterfront Local Control Resolution
A draft resolution would reaffirm the city's local control over its waterfront and coastal resources in response to the National Park Service's Los Angeles Coastal Special Resources Study. It's a statement about who decides the future of the harbor and shoreline.
School District Property General Plan Designations
The City Council reviewed general plan land use designations for three Redondo Beach Unified School District properties currently used for community, park, and recreation purposes (Alta Vista Elementary, former Franklin School, and Lincoln Elementary). Ensuring these sites retain proper designations protects local park and community space from unexpected commercial redevelopment.
