The Pacific Palisades Community Council submitted a letter to the City Council Planning & Land Use Management Committee regarding Council File 11-1705 (Citywide Sign Ordinance), expressing support for Version B+ of the proposed ordinance to protect parks, scenic highways, and residential neighborhoods from visual blight caused by off-site signs and billboards. The council expressed concern about inadequate review time due to the hearing being scheduled immediately before a holiday weekend and urged adoption of Version B+ or continuation of the file for further review.

The Pacific Palisades Community Council submitted a letter opposing the Citywide Sign Ordinance as revised on October 5, 2011, outlining twelve major objections including concerns about off-site signs, digital displays, wall signs covering windows, and the grandfathering of 14 sign districts without adequate public hearings or environmental review. The Council requested that the ordinance be remanded to the City Planning Commission for further public workshops and hearings to restore neighborhood protections and ensure consistency with community-specific plans.

The Pacific Palisades Community Council wrote to the owner of the Palisadian Post on June 7, 2017, requesting he reconsider installing parapet-level signage at 881 Alma Real that was previously rejected by the Design Review Board and Area Planning Commission as violating the Commercial Village Specific Plan. The letter acknowledges the owner's legal right to install the signs under the Permit Streamlining Act but urges good faith dialogue to address community concerns about their size and placement.

This document chronicles a dispute over sign permits for 881 Alma Real involving the Palisadian Post, spanning from April 2015 to May 2017, in which the Planning Director missed the Permit Streamlining Act deadline, leading to the application being deemed approved by operation of law after a court-ordered writ of mandate. The West Los Angeles Area Planning Commission ultimately granted the appeal in May 2017 following the court's decision.

The Pacific Palisades Community Council unanimously opposed the approval of signage at 881 Alma Real Drive on May 11, 2017, after the sign was approved by Los Angeles Superior Court under the Permit Streamlining Act despite the community's previous objections and the local Specific Plan. The Council chair requested that the City Attorney appeal the court ruling and implement measures to prevent future approvals that bypass community input.
