Civic Center Survey (blank) Civic Center Master Plan SurveyLig
Dear Rancho Palos Verdes Resident:
Thank you for taking the time to complete this important community survey. The City of Rancho Palos
Verdes completed an update of its Parks Master Plan in 2015. Among the recommendations approved by
the City Council was to develop a site-specific Master Plan for Point Vicente Park/Civic Center at 30940
Hawthorne Blvd., where Rancho Palos Verdes City Hall is located. In addition, a 2013 engineering report
concluded that current City Hall structures are in generally poor condition and would require a significant
overhaul to bring them up to code.
The City is seeking community input regarding the types of elements residents would like to see considered
in a redeveloped Civic Center site. Some elements in the survey below may already exist at the Civic
Center site, and are included to gauge whether these elements or uses are still desired. The focus will
always be on developing elements for RPV residents' use. This survey is an early step in a process, which
will likely include multiple public workshops, City Council meetings, and significant public outreach and
discussion. We appreciate your contribution and input at this early stage regarding what you feel would
best serve the community.
For more information about the Civic Center Master Plan project, please visit
http://www.rpvca.gov/218/Civic-Center-Master-Plan or call 310-377-0360. This web page will continue to be
updated throughout the process. A self-addressed, stamped envelope has been included for your
convenience.
Please return your completed survey to the City, postmarked no later than January 17, 2017.
