The Rancho Palos Verdes City Council approved a proposed 34-unit (reduced from the 40 originally requested) affordable housing complex for seniors at its public hearing on March 17th. AMCAL Multi-housing Inc., plans to build a two story apartment complex on a 19.3 acre parcel at the northwest corner of Crestridge Road and Crenshaw Boulevard. The units will be restricted to residents age 62 and older.AMCAL still needs to apply for a highly competitive state grant – and win that money – in order for the project to move forward.
The Project wias planned to include a 1,100 sq. ft. clubhouse, 58 parking spaces and a bocce court. About 17 acres of the property would be disgated open space. The sitge is quite hilly and the previously proposed 25 foot retaining wall to provide a flat site for construction has been reduced by about 7 feet. The City’s Redevelopment Agency purchased the site in 2000 for $700,000. The City must provide affordable housing at this site by March 2010 or otherwise it could be forced to sell the site.

Approval of the project occured by the City Council after the Planning Commission had recommended not to proceed with the project. This project is still controversial with nearby residents.
