If you’ve been paying attention to forces operating within the halls of the California legislature, you may be getting concerned… and you should! Are cities in danger of losing zoning control and open space designated Parkland? The opportunity to Protect City Parkland and Retain R1 Zoning could be lost forever

I thought you might be interested that there are several bills in Sacramento that have the potential of seriously eroding local city control over zoning and housing issues and are intended to force higher density and perhaps could even cause the loss of parkland. Some of these bills seek to eliminate CC&Rs and deed restrictions such as those that protect our parkland. Imagine driving by the corner of Via Coronel and Palos Verdes Dr W no longer seeing this but rather the image mocked up at the top of this page. Imagine that duplicated across residential neighborhoods where you invested your hard earned money to create a home and family life. And imagine your city losing control over its own zoning being forced by the state to create multi-family residential zoning with all the pollution, density, traffic, and crime commensurate with this type of change.

If you are interested in hearing how our four peninsula cities are responding to Sacramento’s power grab, I encourage you to attend the Zoom meeting that the Palos Verdes Peninsula League of Women Voters is sponsoring this coming Wednesday, May 26 from 7 pm to 8 pm. It will give you the opportunity to hear from three mayors (PVE, RHE and RH) and a city council member from RPV; it will be moderated by Judith Mitchell, former city council member and mayor from RHE.
