Building Here #### Geology Sets the Terms Geology governs here in a way it does not anywhere else in the county. Under Ordinance No. 692, effective September 18, 2025, parcels inside the Greater Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex cannot add new homes, additions or pools. Existing homes can be repaired or replaced within their footprint, but pools cannot be repaired or replaced. Outside those boundaries projects proceed normally, but geotechnical review still leads the design, not follows it. Generally large, with dramatic slope, canyon frontage and ocean views, and some properties inside or next to the Greater Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex. The team that plans your Rancho Palos Verdes project is the team that builds it. Part of our service area in [Los Angeles County](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/service-areas/los-angeles-county) .

Ordinance No. 692, adopted in August 2025 and effective September 18, 2025, amended the Municipal Code to set development regulations for every parcel inside the Greater Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex boundary. Within it, new homes, home additions, new garages and some accessory structures are prohibited. Repair, replacement or restoration of homes that existed as of October 2022 is allowed within the same square footage, stories, setbacks and footprint. Swimming pools are the exception: new pools, and the repair, replacement or restoration of existing pools, are not allowed inside the landslide complex. Projects in the Coastal Zone need coastal review in addition to a building permit, and the City's geotechnical staff review applies broadly across the peninsula. Confirming a parcel's status against the current landslide maps should be the first step on any project. Permit details checked September 2026 against [City of Rancho Palos Verdes](https://www.rpvca.gov/1841/Landslide-Area-Development-Regulations) and [California Coastal Commission](https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/assets/rflg/LCPStatusSummaryChart.pdf) . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel. ##### What We Plan For - Geotechnical and City geologist coordination - Landslide complex boundary verification - Coastal Zone permit support 1. Active and historic land movement across the southern coastal shelf means geotechnical and City geologist review can determine whether a project is feasible at all. 1. Bentonite seams and perched groundwater in peninsula bedrock push pools toward heavier shells, deeper caissons and engineered subdrains. 1. Steep canyon and bluff parcels restrict crane and pump access, so gunite placement and material handling need planning well before excavation begins. 1. Salt-laden wind on the seaward slopes drives material selection for decking, railings, cabinetry and equipment enclosures. ##### Neighborhoods We Serve - Portuguese Bend - Miraleste - Seaview - Eastview Services #### What We Build in Rancho Palos Verdes Each page covers permits, costs and the build process in Rancho Palos Verdes.
