PALOS VERDES ESTATES : Private Beach Club’s Renovation Plans OKd

Renovations for a private beach club that may begin selling sandwiches and hot dogs to the public have been approved by the City Council.

Also, the council approved plans to spend just over $181,000 for a road next to the club that leads to the beach.

Building plans submitted by the Palos Verdes Beach and Athletic Club call for adding a 550-square-foot children’s recreation room, a spa and a snack bar to the five-story building.

The club, owned by the city but operated by a private, nonprofit corporation, is open to members only.

Janie Williamson, the club manager, said the club may begin selling sandwiches and other deli-type food to the public this summer if permits are granted.
