The California Coastal Commission on Thursday approved a development permit that will allow for restoration work to occur in a former residential area west of Los Angeles International Airport.
The permit allows Los Angeles World Airports to pull up roads, retaining walls, foundations, streetlights and other structures that have sat untouched for years on the LAX dunes along Vista del Mar. As the airport grew in the 1960s and '70s, it bought up and knocked down homes in the old Surfridge neighborhood, but left much of the infrastructure in place.
The work will occur within a 48-acre area just south of Rindge Avenue and Napoleon and Waterview streets in Playa del Rey. Within that tract, streets that are most visible to nearby homes and motorists along Vista del Mar will be removed, while some roads will remain for LAWA maintenance purposes. About 6 acres of native vegetation will be planted, and invasive plants will be removed.
The coastal panel approved the plan at its meeting in Pismo Beach.
