MATTERS FROM MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL
Regional. Planning Commission Meetings at Library

ings at the Palos Verdes Peninsula Library conducted by Regional Plan-
ning Commission on alternate Tuesday evenings. The mayor said that the
land under discussion., exclusive of unusable areas, comprises approxi-
mately 1,000 acres.
Mr. Nadal said that several of the large developers of the
Peninsula area are members of the committee, and it is his opinion
that unless other interested parties are alert, it would be possible
for large land owners and developers to obtain zoning desireable for
their purposes and undesireable for the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Mayor Nadal said he would keep the Council informed about the
meetings.
