City Council Meeting Highlights

Highlights from the March 18, 2025 City Council meeting:

• Due to pending legal review by the City Attorney, the Council continued a public hearing regarding potentially revising the 6th Cycle Housing Element. The public hearing will be held at a future meeting, with the date to be announced.
• City staff gave an update on the landslide emergency, noting that while the deeper slide plane has reached a steady state of movement, shallower points in the Portuguese Bend Landslide that were not the focus of winterization efforts are responding to recent rainfall with an increase in movement.
• The Council allocated $710,000 needed for repairs to the Abalone Cove Sanitary Sewer System, which serves the Portuguese Bend Community Association neighborhood.
• This funding is necessary to prevent parts of the system from being disconnected and additional homes from being red-tagged until they could use the sewer system again.
• Finally, the Council renewed for 60 days the local emergencies in the landslide area and the temporary prohibition of motorcycles and bicycles along a two-mile stretch of Palos Verdes Drive South.
