Open-Space Group Will Meet Tonight
A new Palos Verdes Peninsula political organization aimed at preserving open space and wildlife will hold an organizational meeting tonight at 7:30 in the community room at the Shops of Palos Verdes in Rolling Hills Estates.
Chris Manning, a Rancho Palos Verdes resident and Loyola Marymount University professor, said the group--called STOP (Save the Open Places)--was formed over concern about what he termed high density development, particularly a retirement center recently approved by the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council and resort hotels proposed along that city’s coastline.
He said the group will provide information on “lower density alternatives” that preserve the rural character of the peninsula and will support City Council candidates in peninsula cities who share STOP’s goals.
Another meeting will be held June 29 at the same time and location.
