Since then, the City’s physical makeup, population and regional context and the regulatory guidance around noise have changed significantly. The city has grown and evolved a great deal since the 1970’s.
C. The City Council desires to adopt the updated Noise Element of the Long Beach General Plan dated October 2022 which is included as Attachment B to the June 6, 2023 staff report to the City Council which is incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth herein in full.

At that hearing, the Planning Commission gave full consideration to all pertinent facts, information, proposals, environmental documentation and recommendations respecting the proposed updated Noise Element of the Long Beach General Plan, and to the views RES-23-0081
