Planning Commission Study Session

Wednesday, March 11, 2026 | 3:00 PM

The Planning Commission will hold a public study session to discuss potential redevelopment options for two City-owned properties:

• 1155 Morningside Drive (Parking Lot 3)
• 400 Manhattan Beach Boulevard (former U.S. Bank building)

What’s This About?

In August 2025, the City Council began exploring permanent redevelopment options for these two downtown properties and launched a public engagement program to gather community input.

Since then:

• The City collected feedback from the community.
• On January 20, 2026, the City Council narrowed down the list of redevelopment options.
• Staff were directed to continue community outreach and bring back more information.
• At this meeting, Community Development staff will discuss the updated list of redevelopment options and seek feedback from the Planning Commission and the public.

Environmental Review

This meeting is for discussion only. No final project approvals will be made at this time. Any future redevelopment proposals will go through a full environmental review process as required by law.
