Mixed-Use Development Set for Sloping Property along Chautauqua Boulevard

“Canyon Place” Is Set to Include Two Apartment Units and 1,415 Sq. Ft. of Office Space

By Zach Armstrong

A low-rise, mixed-use structure on a hillside property is set for construction just a short walk away from Will Rogers Beach, as per an agenda item recently considered by the West Los Angeles Planning Commission.

The proposal, titled “Canyon Place”, calls for the demolition of an existing structure at

148 N Chautauqua Blvd. to make way for a 3,470 square foot, contemporary two-story building. The project would consist of two one-bedroom apartment units, 1,415 square feet of office space, six vehicle parking spots and seven spots reserved for bicycles.

The structure will reflect the sloping topography of the property, with the ground level providing the parking, the next lower level providing commercial office units and the lowest level featuring the two residential units. The front of the property faces Chautauqua Boulevard, while its downward slope leads to Channel Road at the rear.

According to the agenda time, access from Chautauqua Blvd. will be via an approximately 19’ wide bridge from the roadway to the parking level. The residential and commercial units will open

to private, 147 square foot porches that look south, providing canyon and ocean views.

Currently at the subject site are two unpermitted buildings which were built in 1978. They are now used as an artist studio, chicken coop, storage and hair salon, per the agenda item.

The project comes from applicant Frank

Langen of Santa Monica, while BAM Construction and Design is serving as its project architect, according to Urbanize LA. Necessary project approvals include a plan exception to allow ground-floor parking, along with its greater floor area than what is normally permitted by zoning.

Woman Returns $1K Worth of Stolen Items After Store Finds Her Social Media Account

For the Owner, the Incident Is Perhaps Indicative of an Environment at the Palisades Village Where Smaller

Businesses Are More Vulnerable to Burglary

By Zach Armstrong

Kitson, a lifestyle boutique with a Pacific Palisades location, identified a woman on Instagram after cameras showed her stealing what its owner described as nearly $1,000 worth of Free City clothing items.

Upon entering the Sunset Blvd. shop on March 12 with an Erewhon bag, the woman gave her phone number to the clerk. While he assisted other customers, the woman shoved several unpaid items into the bag and left. The store promptly found her

Instagram account by what it described as “some detective work” after reviewing security footage. She was confronted via a DM.

“I am so sorry I did what I did to your store/company. It is selfish, embarrassing and I am ashamed of myself.” the woman messaged the store which screenshotted and posted the exchange on social media. “I will see you at 6 p.m. this evening with the money you are entitled to.”

The woman returned at the promised time and paid the total cost of the merchandise, said Kitson Owner Fraser Ross.

For Ross, the incident is perhaps indicative of an environment at the Palisades Village where smaller businesses are more vulnerable to burglary than their neighbors. While high-end brands enjoy 24/7 security, criminals may feel they’ll endure no consequence if they steal from other stores nearby instead.

“The luxury stores across the street have armed guards strolling the complex across the street which is a deterrent to potential thieves,” said Ross. “If the mom and pop shops across the street had a problem with thieves, would the Caruso security come over and help?”

Locals Can Socialize, Express Their Creativity or Meditate at This New Palisades Shop

Mavven Mercantile Sells Fair Trade Items During the Day While Offering Mindfulness Workshops at Night

By Zach Armstrong

After deciding to start a business together, Lisa Waters and Michelle Villemaire had to come up with a name. They chose Mavven Mercantile. The first word is a combination of two of their children’s names: Mabel and Vivian. The second is a nod to a lost pastime.

The

This pastime is what Waters describes as something people are in need of; when people felt more connected to their local community thanks to a common place to socialize, exchange goods and even find ways to express themselves creatively. Mavven Mercantile aims to be a revival of that concept for the Pacific Palisades.

By day (11 a.m. – 5 p.m.), the business is a retail shop where one finds various fair trade and handmade homeware goods such as ceramics, journals, cheese boards and work from local artists, among an array of other sustainable items. By night (or sometimes early in the morning), the furniture goes away, the blankets and mats come out, and the store has transformed into a studio for workshops in self expression, personal development, movement, breath and sound.

The workshops and items offered often come from well-known and/or widelypublished trainers and artists. For example, Ora Nadrich, whose work has been featured in Reader’s Digest, NBC News, LA Yoga Magazine and Yahoo! Health, will host a mindfulness meditation session there on April 5. However, anyone can feel free to donate their artwork or host a workshop if they have some to offer. One day, local selfpublished author Carlo Allen stopped by to give Waters and Villemaire copies of his book All Bones Are White. And as simple as that, the book is now on display for sale just like anything else at Mavven.

“What we’re trying to attract in here are people who are good at things that they can teach others as a way to connect with themselves and each other through different modalities,” said Villemaire.

Waters and Villemaire have held an inseparable bond since the age of 13 when they met as Floridian teenagers. After visiting Michelle’s family in Massachusetts, Lisa would join her in attending Boston University and sat next to her during graduation. The duo have found themselves in each other’s accompaniment once more. This time as both Palisadian mothers, supporting one another in operating a novel and provocative business concept.

The new business is located at 15326 Antioch St., where the locally beloved Collection Antiques and Books owned by Jeff Ridgway once stood before ending operations in September of last year.

City Commences Phase 2 of Beach Restoration Project

The Project Will Enlarge the Habitat for Significant Native Species, Including the Federally Threatened Western Snowy Plover

Phase 2 of the Santa Monica Beach Restoration Project commenced recently, aiming to further enhance natural dune habitat on Santa Monica beach, situated just south of the Annenberg Community Beach House, a post from the City read.

Building upon the success of the initial pilot program that restored three acres of beach dunes, the second phase seeks to expand to an additional five acres of native coastal strand habitat.

The kickoff this week entailed the installation of post, rope, and sand fencing to restrict beach city-operated grooming at the site, planting seeds of California native vegetation to foster dune growth, and the addition of interpretive signage to

inform the public about the project and the environmental advantages of native coastal habitats.

The project will enlarge the habitat for significant native species, including the federally threatened Western Snowy Plover.

The first nest in the Los Angeles region in almost 70 years was discovered within the site for the first phase of the project in April 2017.

Advocates for the project include the LA Audubon Society, Heal the Bay,

Climate Action Santa Monica, LA County Beaches and Harbors, among others, along with numerous Santa Monica residents, according to the City. The project receives funding from the Bay Foundation through the Refugio Oil Spill Trust.

Burglar Breaks in Palisadian Home, Steals Victim’s Wedding Ring and Other Heirlooms

The Victim Says the Incident “Eroded” Her Trust in Local Law Enforcement

By Zach Armstrong

Wendy Garff, a Palisadian who resides on the 600 block of Frontera Drive just a short walk from the Palisades Recreation Center, says her faith in local law enforcement has dwindled after a recent break-in cost her family several cherished possessions.

On March 6, after Garff and her husband left their residence for the morning, a masked burglar dressed in black shattered the home’s back glass door. Upon entering, the man turned the security camera away before ransacking the abode for precious family heirlooms; primarily found in the master bedroom. Among the stolen items were Garff’s wedding ring, anniversary pearls, her grandmother’s

rings and her husband’s 20-year service watch.

After contacting West L.A. police, Garff said officers arrived a half-hour later, during which time, a neighbor helped check the home in case the thief was still present. Garff described that the officers’ demeanor “suggested a familiarity with such incidents, implying little expectation of recovery or justice for our losses.”

“This incident didn’t just cost us valuables; it eroded our trust in local security and the police. Being just another statistic in a seemingly overwhelmed system is a call for better police response and more resources for West LA.” Garff told Mirror Media Group in an email. “We’re left wondering how many similar stories must occur before significant changes are made.”

Fire Consumes Palisadian’s Garage, No Injuries Reported

The fire primarily involved a car within the garage

As reported by CBS News, firefighters swiftly managed a fire incident at a residence in Pacific Palisades on Sunday.

The Los Angeles Fire Department received reports of the fire around 2 p.m., originating at a house in the 17600 block of W. Camino De Yatasto. Officials stated that the fire primarily involved a car within the garage of the residence, according to CBS.

No injuries were reported and investigators are actively working to discern the root cause of the blaze.

By Zach Armstrong

An organized group of men, one of whom as young as 17, were arrested as they prepared to carry out a burglary in the Pacific Palisades, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

The four suspects were tracked by detectives from the San Fernando Valley into West Los Angeles before being apprehended in the area of Castellammare Drive and Sunset Boulevard. The detectives believed the suspects were responsible for multiple robberies and would continue with more.

Three were taken into custody without incident while remaining in their vehicle.

A fourth suspect was detained after attempting to flee on foot; changing clothes and throwing away his cell phone in the process. Burglary tools and other “potential evidence” were discovered inside the vehicle. Those materials will be recovered following a search warrant, LAPD said.

The two youngest members of the group, including 19-year-old Joaquin Elias Munoz, were both booked for conspiracy to commit burglary. Carlos Antonio Gonzalez-Ravest, 20, faces charges including outstanding felony warrants for burglary and grand theft. Patricio Lian, also 20, was booked for felony counts of burglary and parole violation.

The Announcement Comes Shortly After the California Public Utilities Commission

Approved a Request From Waymo

By Zach Armstrong

Waymo One, the fully autonomous ridehailing service from the California company formerly known as the Google Self-Driving Car Project, began scaling operations in Los Angeles last week in a 63 square mile area from Santa Monica to Downtown.

The announcement comes shortly after the California Public Utilities Commission approved a request from the Alphabetowned company to expand in the Bay Area and L.A. County, stating that it complied with regulatory requirements, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Last month, PUC put a temporary halt to Waymo’s expansion for up to 120 days so staff could conduct a review. David J.

Canepa, Vice President of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, previously stated that Waymo stifled discussions on its expansion, going on to express concern over incidents in the Bay Area where Waymo cars blocked firehouse driveways and parked on fire hoses. Waymo said at the time that it reached out to stakeholders such as county officials, first responders, and cities, to discuss safety matters.

The recent ruling from PUC allows Waymo’s robotaxis to be deployed on local roads and freeways at speeds no faster than 65 mph.

In October, the company invited Angelinos to test the autonomous driving experience for themselves. Since then, Waymo says over 15,000 fully autonomous rides were taken across Santa Monica, Century City, West Hollywood, Mid-City, Koreatown and Downtown. The average trip rating issued by those riders, according to the company, stands at 4.7 out of 5 stars.

While transitioning to paid service in the coming weeks, Waymo will gradually onboard over 50,000 people who it says currently sit on the L.A. waitlist. Temporary codes will be distributed at local events throughout the city.
