  Land UseDevelopment Projects

  The Pacific Palisades Community Council opposes a Coastal Development Permit for a proposed 5-story, 60-foot 9-inch mixed-use project at 17346 Sunset Boulevard, arguing it violates the California Coastal Act by being visually incompatible with surrounding one-story structures, lacks upper-level setbacks and street trees, and would negatively impact nearby residents through noise and privacy loss from rooftop deck use. The Council recommends reducing the project to 3-4 stories with setbacks and tree wells if approval proceeds.
