Belmont Shore, the coveted beach community next to Naples Island has had quite a bit of discussion regarding zoning this past week. The City Council, along with the Planning Department, put in a temporary ordinance that will maintain a building height limit of 2 stories or 25 feet.
With many people desiring to upgrade homes in this beach community this ordinance has some far reaching effects. The traditional homes in this area were built in the 1940's and 1950's so many are single story spanish style or traditional homes. As these homes may not always meet the goals of today's beach buyer it certainly is important that the building codes support modern upgrades and still take into account important features like adequate parking.
Unlike areas like Manhattan Beach, Long Beach still has allowed roof top decks which gives a nice way to enjoy the weather and feel like you almost have a 3rd story. If you are interested in renovating your home in Belmont Shore make sure you check with the Planning Department so you can be sure to comply with the latest building codes.
