In the city’s words
Site Plan Review request and adopt the proposed findings and conditions of approval thereto, to allow the adaptive reuse of an existing 6-story office building into 69 residential units on floors two through six. Of these units, 11 percent are designated as very low income and 9 percent are moderate income. The project includes a rooftop addition of 3,345 square feet, consisting of a trellis covered community garden and accessory circulation areas. Minor exterior modifications including restoration of the clock tower and minor historic rehabilitation to the building are also proposed. The first floor will include new areas for mail pick up and a community lounge and the basement will house shared laundry facilities and bike and scooter storage. The existing commercial spaces on the first floor will remain. The property is located at 115 Pine Avenue in the PD-30 Zoning district and is a designated Historic Landmark known as First National Bank Building of Long Beach.
