Long Beach is a city with its own planning authority. The Long Beach Planning Commission, a seven-member body appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council, advises on land use and General Plan matters and serves as the public hearing authority for many development applications. It reviews requests such as conditional and administrative use permits, standards variances, local coastal development permits, site plan reviews, and subdivision requests. Zoning is administered by the Community Development Department's Planning Bureau.

The Planning Commission meets on the first and third Thursday of each month at 5 p.m. at the Long Beach City Hall Civic Chambers, 411 W. Ocean Blvd. Meetings are held in person, and members of the public may participate in person or virtually via Zoom.

The city's zoning rules are set out in Title 21 (Zoning) of the Long Beach Municipal Code, which defines each zoning district's permitted activities, facilities, and development standards. Title 21 includes residential, commercial, and industrial districts, along with Specific Plan Districts (SP) and Planned Development Districts (PD) that provide tailored regulations for particular neighborhoods. Title 22, the Transitional Zoning Code, adds newer zone types such as RMU, MU, MFR, and NI.

The city's Planning Bureau directs property owners to the Zoning and Land Use GIS Map, which shows zoning districts, General Plan land use categories, historic districts, and coastal zone boundaries. Owners with specific zoning questions can also submit an inquiry to the Planning Bureau or schedule a meeting with a planner.
