The Silver Spur project goes in front of the RPV planning commission on October 8th. We need a show of strength with as many individuals at the meeting as possible!

482 Condo Project Destroying Beautiful Silver Spur Canyon Moves Ahead

Big news – Rancho Palos Verdes' Housing Element was placed “in compliance“ by the Department of Housing and Community Development as of June 12th .

Here is a summary of the recent Our Neighborhood Voices Meeting for Peninsula Residents on 5/20/2024.

If you live around the canyon keep an eye out for the bird above and take a picture if you see him. He's the California Gnatcatcher and he is a federally endangered species.

What the next 90 days means for us…

Thank you for waiting patiently for this update. We have been working feverishly to investigate our legal options to this oppose this project, and along with our land use attorney…

Our group has been working diligently to collect information about the project which we hope will help us fight it.

The moment we’ve been dreading has now happened. The developer that owns the property 5323 Ironwood, also known as Silver Spur Canyon, filed a builder's remedy application with the City Rancho of Palos Verdes yesterday.

To all new recipients of this update email string - although we are currently fighting this fight over potential high-density development in Silver Spur canyon…

One neighbor who’s backyard borders on the vacant lot reported to me that earlier this week owners of the vacant lot started to remove fences…

I stopped in at the planning department for the city of Rancho Palos Verdes the week before last to see what kind of information I could get.

There has been activity on the vacant lot in the last few weeks: several small structures were removed from the lot.

There are indeed several easements on the 5323 Ironwood property that could prevent building on some areas of the lot, but only if those easements are enforced.

It would be helpful for as many of us as possible to contact or city council to find out what the plan is regarding the "Housing Element" document.

Interesting information on the vacant lot that I found out today…

Concerned about the possibility of a large development going in an area that is currently entirely single-family residences, I contacted the city about plans for the lot, and was informed that no plans had yet been submitted.
