Manhattan Beach Planners Reject Height Increase At Former Bank Site In 4-1 Vote

The Manhattan Beach Planning Commission voted 4-1 to reject a proposed height increase for the former U.S. Bank site at 400 Manhattan Beach Blvd. Commissioners decided to preserve the existing 26-foot height limit, citing concerns over the impact on neighboring homes. However, the commission supported allowing a 30-foot height limit at a nearby city-owned parking lot, provided specific parking requirements are met, as part of the city's ongoing Project Pulse redevelopment initiative.
