The Pacific Palisades Community Council opposes Council File 21-0350, which proposes using public beaches and parks for homeless housing, citing concerns including violations of the California Coastal Act, inadequate transit access and sanitary facilities for homeless individuals, fire risks, impacts on emergency response capabilities, and safety concerns for families and children. The council argues that alternative inland sites are more suitable and notes that similar projects in other California beach cities were relocated inland due to coastal access concerns.
