Zone In: Bixby Walk Audits
As part of our community engagement efforts, staff hosted three walk audits to assess existing conditions and collect community input regarding the project area. The Long Beach and Atlantic Walk Audit on March 29, 2025 focused on existing conditions like building uses, heights, densities, design elements and public realm features that might be encouraged or discouraged through the Zone In: Bixby project. The San Antonio Walk Audit on May 17, 2025 focused on existing development patterns and new rezoning opportunities, with an emphasis on the major shopping center between Atlantic Avenue and California Avenue. The Wardlow Walk Audit on June 11, 2025 focused on the neighborhood character and new development opportunities that rezoning provides, with additional focus on the commercial spaces and transitions that occur along Wardlow Road.

The City will be undertaking a public engagement process to inform community members and stakeholders about these projects and will be posting more information soon.
Zone In: Looking Ahead
The next phase of Zone In will be to update our zoning regulations for more parts of the City, including Bixby Knolls, Wrigley, and the major corridors between 10th Street and East Broadway. These projects are in various phases and will simplify the city’s zoning regulations, building upon existing engagement and technical analyses to continue evolving the City’s zoning code. As the City takes the next steps to align plans and zoning codes, community involvement will remain paramount in supporting quality, long-term investment in these neighborhoods.
