Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council
The Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council covers southern San Pedro along the coast, from the Rancho Palos Verdes city line east to the Port of Los Angeles and the breakwater, south of a line along Bogdanovich Park, 19th Street, 18th Street and 14th Street (bylaws, Article III); about two-thirds of the area is in the San Pedro community plan area and the rest in the Port of Los Angeles plan area. Anyone who lives, works or owns property inside those boundaries, or belongs to or takes part in a community organization there, is a stakeholder (bylaws, Article IV).

The Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council holds a special agenda-setting meeting online on Oct. 13, 2026 to consider items for its Oct. 16 Governing Board meeting, and its agenda does not list the proposed items. The council filed a Community Impact Statement on Aug. 25 on CF 26-0975-S1, an appeal of a zone variance and environmental clearance at 700 W. Paseo del Mar. The Sept. 28 special meeting agenda included a comment asking the City to use post-and-cable fencing instead of tubular steel or welded wire for the Sunken City safety fencing project (agenda).
