Bluff Park garage and ADU project at 2515 East Ocean Boulevard
Long Beach
Summary
A homeowner will replace an old garage with a larger one topped by an 858-square-foot ADU in the Bluff Park Historic District. The commission approved it because the house and garage are non-contributing 1979 structures, but a neighbor across the alley says the new two-story building erases his family's ocean view.

The new two-story structure stays behind the house and under its height, but neighbors across the alley say it will erase their ocean view. Parking on the lot increases from two to four spaces.

The new garage and pool sit behind the historic Craftsman home and out of view from the street, so the neighborhood's historic look stays intact.
