Land UseLand Use Reports
The PPCC Land Use Committee recommends that the PPCC Board oppose issuance of a Coastal Development Permit for a proposed 5-story, 60-foot 9-inch mixed-use project at 17346 Sunset Boulevard, citing non-compliance with California Coastal Act visual compatibility requirements, concerns about streetscape impacts, potential negative effects on nearby residents from rooftop deck use, and inadequate parking provisions. The committee suggests alternative configurations of 4 stories with upper level setbacks or 3 stories without setbacks as potential modifications.

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.
