  Letter January 24, 2024

  GovernanceMinutes

  The Pacific Palisades Community Council submitted a letter to Councilwoman Traci Park detailing hazardous construction conditions in hillside neighborhoods, particularly regarding roadway blockages caused by haul routes and construction activities that impede emergency vehicle access and evacuation routes in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The letter proposes six categories of measures to address these safety concerns, including restrictions on haul route permits, modifications to the haul route process, developer compliance requirements, a resident complaint portal, stronger penalties, and potential designation of hillside construction districts.

  The Pacific Palisades Community Council submitted a letter to the City Administrative Officer arguing that Will Rogers State Beach and Dockweiler State Beach are infeasible locations for homeless housing because their General Plans and governing documents designate them exclusively for public recreation, and such use would violate California Public Resources Code and local ordinances.
