PPCC Board Meeting Recap - 10/9/25
Here's a brief recap of our October
9
th meeting:
Presentations
:
The meeting
featured two presentations:
Supervisor Lindsey Horvath
presented information and responded to questions and concerns about the Coastal Commission's decision to approve a
Coastal permit for the Gladstone's redevelopment project;
about whether or not
SB 79
will be implicated by the bus turnaround and bus stops/stations in the parking lot; and about the proposed
County Authority
for Los Angeles County fire areas. While we continue to have serious concerns about the process and potential impacts, PPCC thanks the Supervisor for speaking with us and answering questions.
[Please note that PPCC may host County officials and the concessionaire at a special meeting in the coming days to discuss the Gladstones project and obtain answers to more questions. Stay tuned.]
Reps Darragh Danton and May Sung from
Team Palisades
shared interesting information about the work of this all-volunteer organization, formed to assist with the Palisades' recovery, and the many resources available on its
website
.
