Land UseDevelopment Projects
The Pacific Palisades Community Council opposes a Coastal Development Permit for a proposed 5-story, 60-foot 9-inch mixed-use project at 17346 Sunset Boulevard, arguing it violates the California Coastal Act by being visually incompatible with surrounding one-story structures, lacks upper-level setbacks and street trees, and would negatively impact nearby residents through noise and privacy loss from rooftop deck use. The Council recommends reducing the project to 3-4 stories with setbacks and tree wells if approval proceeds.

Land UseLegislationPlanning & Density
This legislation summary from the Pacific Palisades Community Council covers four main topics: dockless electric scooters (including AB 1112 and the Koretz Motion requiring provider cooperation with law enforcement), a citywide sign ordinance postponed to August 13, short-term rental ordinances for both primary residences and vacation rentals, and state preemption bills (SB 330 and AB 1279) that would limit local land use control. The Council opposes state preemption of local authority and advocates for scooter provider accountability and restrictions on billboards in parks and scenic areas.
