Palos Verdes Senior Living
Trumark Homes will be moving forward with their 60 unit, age restricted condo project as the newest Palos Verdes Senior Living project here in Rancho Palos Verdes
The Rancho Palos Verdes City Council this week certified the developer’s environmental impact report for this Palos Verdes Senior Living project and approved the conditional-use permit, grading permit and tentative tract map for the Crestridge Senior Condominium project.
This particular Palos Verdes Senior Living project will have nineteen structures, 18 of which are split-level and two-story buildings constructed on the roughly 10-acre lot. To avoid view impacts and provide a consistent slope throughout the site, crews will move about 147,000 cubic yards of dirt. Most of the soil will be taken off site.
There may be some traffic impact as a result of the construction process for this Palos Verdes Senior Living project. Tentatively, trucks hauling dirt would travel from Crestridge along Highridge Road to Hawthorne Boulevard. An alternative would be from Crestridge to Crenshaw Boulevard to Silver Spur Road to Hawthorne. Councilman Jim Knight, concerned for residents living along Highridge, suggested the less-populated Indian Peak Road as a route.
“If there’s a way to go down Indian Peak, it would impact a lot fewer residents in our city,” Knight said.
Indian Peak had been ruled out as a route during the traffic studies in the EIR. According to RPV’s Public Works Department, the road does not have the capacity to carry the truck traffic.
However, city Senior Planner Eduardo Schonborn said the staff will continue to work with the public works staff to find an appropriate route to alleviate truck traffic through residential neighborhoods.
In addition to traffic and potential view impacts, the institutional zoning of the site has been an issue. The area is dotted with senior housing, an assisted-living facility, a retirement community and houses of worship.

To meet the institutional zoning, Trumark put an age restriction on the residential units (55 and older) and, once built, will offer supportive services for seniors, such as recreation, education, and health and fitness programs. But in today’s world, former Planning Commissioner Louella White told the City Council, a person at 55 could have children or teenagers.
The age restriction applies to buyers but not to all those living in the homes. “Teenagers in a senior development just are not something most seniors want because of the noise and ambitions of young teenagers,” she said.
A few residents have asked that Trumark raise the age limit to 62 to ensure it will be a senior housing community. “It would put a major constraint on our marketability to go from 55 to 62,” said James O’Malley, executive vice president of Trumark.
