Palos Verdes Estates is truly special

RISKS:

  • Although not a legal requirements, selling or gifting our parkland should require a vote of the residents.

  • The state of CA plans to require cities devote far more land to density housing by 2029.

Let’s preserve what we love and cherish:

We are the current generation who owns this land and are the guardians for one of the most beautiful coastlines on earth, left unspoiled by over development.  There are pressures from inside and outside interests to develop our open space.  The city of PVE was planned and designed 100 years ago to retain open space and maintain land in its natural state.  Ocean vistas, a pastoral landscape, and mature trees are part of the beauty of PVE.   

Preservation includes:

  • Open space in residential and parkland areas

  • The original Olmsted design 100 years ago

  • Pastoral characteristics such as dark skies, meandering paths, etc.

  • Environmental protection of our unspoiled land and habitats

  • Bringing in the next generation  

Significant development or changes to the character of the city should require the support of the residents.  

I led the passage of The PVE Land Preservation Act to protect our parkland.  It requires resident approval to rezone our open space to residential or commercial.
