The Pacific Palisades Community Council's Executive Board unanimously opposes the draft Citywide Sign Ordinance (CPC-2015-3059-CA), citing insufficient public comment time and objecting to provisions that fail to expressly prohibit digital billboards on public property, freeway-facing digital billboards, digital signs outside sign districts, and amnesty for illegal billboards, while also failing to preserve mandatory square footage takedown requirements from the 2009 agreement.

The Pacific Palisades Community Council expresses support for Senate Bill 218, which would end photo enforcement of stop signs by the Mountains Recreation Conservancy Authority (MRCA) within parklands. The council argues that MRCA's legislative exception to the California Vehicle Code is unwarranted and has been abused, citing the placement of photo enforcement machines in Temescal Canyon Gateway Park at intersections with no accident history or significant traffic.

The Village Plan Land Use Committee presents a preliminary report on the proposed Caruso mixed-use development project in Pacific Palisades, analyzing what can be built by right under existing zoning versus the proposed 116,215 square feet of commercial and residential space, and identifying key areas where the project requires Specific Plan amendments including use of R3P-zoned areas, building heights exceeding 30 feet, and other variances. The report notes general community support with specific concerns focused on traffic, parking, building location and height, use mix, and alcohol licenses.
