Hotel Project Approved on Marineland Property
More than four years after Marineland closed down, Rancho Palos Verdes planning commissioners Wednesday approved the construction of 450 hotel rooms on the site.
In a 4-1 vote, commissioners gave Arizona developer James Monaghan approval to build a 390-room hotel and an additional 50 rooms, or suites, in smaller buildings where the landmark salt-water aquarium once operated.
The plan approved by commissioners allows Monaghan to take an existing motel on the oceanfront land and expand it from five to 10 rooms. A nine-hole golf course also was approved for the property.
