📰 News we're reading

• New Manhattan Beach Home Sparks Setback Fight (patch.com) — Manhattan Beach neighbors are clashing over a proposed variance to rebuild an older home on 25th Street with a reduced front setback, bringing the new garage and part of the house closer to the street. Planning commissioners will revisit the project Wednesday, weighing residents' concerns about neighborhood character and potential "urban canyon" effects against staff findings that the lot's unusual shape justifies flexibility.
