The Long Beach Zoning Board convened on June 26, 2025, to discuss several variance applications concerning local properties. The meeting began with the application of Robert Pichette for a variance related to a new three-story house at 85 Minnesota Avenue. The request involved adjustments to height and off-street parking regulations as outlined in the city’s zoning code.

Commissioner Markowitz introduced a motion to deny the application, which was seconded by Commissioner Lisa. The board members voted unanimously against the application, with all present commissioners—Markowitz, Lisa, Callahan, Elise, Brooks, Alvarado, and Hasfiled—voting to deny. The application was officially denied.

The meeting continued with case number 3468, presented by Christopher Schrock for a property located at 108 Cleveland Avenue. Schrock sought variances for a front yard deck, temporary two-family use, and off-street parking. Representing Schrock was Stephen Kaiser, who noted that the applicant resides in the home with his family and is a New York City police officer.

The board's discussions on these applications reflect ongoing efforts to manage zoning regulations in Long Beach, ensuring compliance with local ordinances while considering the needs of residents. Further deliberations and decisions on the applications will continue in future meetings.
