Dear Sunset Mesa Community Members:

A few weeks ago, we urged our community members to email letters and to speak up about the necessity to remove the RV’s below us on PCH. The effort has paid off and we got the signs approved which state, “No Parking and Tow Away Zone”. Very exciting. These signs will be posted in the next few weeks and will be enforced by CHP. The first step will be to give citations and will evolve towards towing.This process takes time and important that we be relentless in our pursuit.

The SMPOA is working closely with all parties involved to assure that we continue making forward progress. We are getting very positive involvement from the various authorities and enforcement departments. The power of the letters from our community that were sent is huge. For those who have not sent in their letters, please email as soon as possible. Know that they are hearing our voices, which is why we now have the new signs being posted. We want the voice of our community to be strong and to be heard. So, every email counts! We will keep you posted as we make progress, until each and every RV is removed and we regain the beautiful, pristine beachfront parking back! Thank you to all!

COASTAL COMMISSION STAFF APPROVE SUP. HORVATH’S REQUEST FOR

TOW AWAY SIGNS ON PCH

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – California Coastal Commission staff have agreed with Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath’s request to update parking restrictions along the unincorporated portion of PCH near the community of Sunset Mesa. The new signs strengthen parking regulations, allowing for vehicles to be towed that violate posted signage restricting parking from 12 - 2 a.m. and 2 - 4 a.m.

This action comes as an increasing number of Recreational Vehicles (RVs) park overnight along PCH, increasing fire, public health, and roadway safety risks. On September 24, Supervisor Horvath authored an unanimously supported motion calling for the State’s partnership to address the issue immediately through the new signs while pursuing alignment with parking regulations in nearby Malibu and Pacific Palisades.

“Fire and safety risks along PCH are real and very serious. By strengthening parking regulations, we are taking a necessary step to protect the safety of the public and the environment while also allowing for beach access,” said Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath. “I’m grateful for the Coastal Commission’s support, and for the ongoing partnership of the Sheriff’s Department-Lost Hills Station, Caltrans, and the California Highway Patrol. All are taking action to address this longtime safety issue.”

With Coastal Commission approval, LA County Public Works will install 26 new signs. This will give the Sheriff’s Department and CHP an important enforcement tool.
