PROTECT OUR PARKLAND AND STOP DEVELOPER OVERREACH!

MAINTAIN THE RESPECT OF COASTAL LAWS PROTECTING OUR SURROUNDINGS

JOIN THE APPEAL TO THE COASTAL COMMISSION

AGAINST THE 1525 PALISADES DRIVE PROJECT IN THE PACIFIC PALISADES HIGHLANDS

All Angelenos and Californians — not just Palisades Residents — should be concerned about this ill-conceived and cynical effort to circumvent our environmental and coastal parkland protections! If the developer succeeds in obtaining a Coastal permit from the Commission, he will undo 40+ years of prior precedent, and allow future unscrupulous developers to evade and/or abuse the Coastal Act in other protected zones.

Proposed Facility:

• Rise at least Six Levels towering above scenic Palisades Drive (2 below-grade levels for parking and 4 above ground stories)
• Almost 65,000 sq feet of building space on a barely 44,000 sq feet lot. The densest and most massive construction even attempted in the Pacific Palisades Highlands
• Operate a 24/7/365 dementia and institutional care facility in an extreme wildfire hazard zone with limited roadway access during a natural disaster.

Why should we oppose:

The proposed Project is within the California Coastal Zone at the hub of multiple parklands: Santa Monica Recreation Area, Topanga State Park and Santa Ynez Park.

The Project fails to satisfy numerous requirements of the California Coastal Act:

• Protect Sensitive Habitat and Parklands — the Project endangers and degrades habitat and the surrounding Topanga State Parklands
• Protect Scenic Values and Limit Development Near Parks
• Protect the views from Scenic Highway
• Minimize Risk to Life and Property in Areas of High Geologic Flood and Fire Hazard.
• Minimize Energy Consumption and Vehicle Miles Traveled.
• The Project’s Height, Scale and Lack of Setbacks Would Severely Impair Viewsheds.
• The Project is Totally Incompatible with the Surrounding Neighborhood and Parks

Please join the Pacific Palisades Residents Association PPRA, HUG supporters and concerned Californians to protect our environment.
