A public hearing on the fate of a proposed 48-unit mixed use project at Beach Boulevard and Ellis Avenue tops the agenda of Tuesday’s meeting of the Huntington Beach City Council.

The council will take up the matter of the city planning commission’s denial of the tentative tract map and conditional use permit for the development of the four-story project, which will include five affordable housing units.

This is the council’s second shot at the matter, as it was continued from the Aug. 19 meeting because of the absence of council member Barbara Delgleize.

Also on the agenda for the meeting – held on Tuesday because of Labor Day – will be a study session on short-term rentals in Huntington Beach and case studies in other jurisdictions.

The study session is scheduled to start at 4 p.m., while the main session is slated for 6 p.m. The council meets in its chambers in the Civic Center at 2000 Main St. (at Yorktown Avenue).
