The Berggruen Institute, a think tank founded by billionaire Nicholas Berggruen, proposes to construct a campus on 447 acres in the Santa Monica Mountains in Brentwood, claiming exemption from restrictive zoning as an educational institution, but the project faces opposition from Mountaingate homeowners and MOSMA over zoning classification, environmental impacts, and fire risk. The Pacific Palisades Community Council determined not to agendize the matter at this time, citing that the project is outside PPCC's jurisdiction, is in early review stages, and impacts to the Palisades are unknown or remote.
