Gladstones Redevelopment Plan To Be Discussed At PPCC Meeting
Under the plan, Wolfgang Puck and architect Frank Gehry would take over the longtime Gladstones site along PCH.
PACIFIC PALISADES, CA — The Gladstone's restaurant redevelopment plan will again be a topic of discussion at tonight's Pacific Palisades Community Council meeting. Concessionaire representative Thomas Tellefsen will provide an update on the proposed plan.
The meeting will start at 6 p.m. tonight, and the link to the online meeting is available here.
The plan proposes that a new restaurant experience designed by architect Frank Gehry and chef Wolfgang Puck would take over the longtime Gladstones site at Sunset Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway. The site would blend a casual dining restaurant with another, more upscale eatery, allowing something to appeal to everyone.

Los Angeles County Supervisors voted 3-1 in 2018 to open negotiations between Puck's team and the Department of Beaches and Harbors to develop the site. Along with the restaurants, the site would also include a rooftop bar, public viewing deck, an ice-cream shop and a monument in honor of the original Gladstones.
Last year, it was revealed Gladstones would be an anchor restaurant at the forthcoming West Harbor entertainment site in San Pedro. The project is expected to be completed in 2022.

PPCC will also discuss the controversial proposal of installing secured temporary housing for the homeless at Will Rogers State Beach parking lot. As part of their continued campaign to block the proposal, PPCC sent a letter to state officials asking them to speak out in opposition to the plan.
"We hope and trust that as representatives of relevant agencies of the State of California (the owner of WRSB), you agree that homeless housing should not be sited on State Park or State Beach land, that doing so would be unprecedented, that as a matter of equity and justice the public's right of access to our treasured State Parks, State Beaches and the entire California coastline must be preserved, and that the proposed use is prohibited by law on the WRSB parking lot," the letter reads
