Archery Range
a. ACQUISITION INFORMATION
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes Redevelopment Agency acquired the Archery Range from
Transamerica Development Company (former owner of the Portuguese Bend Beach Club) on
January 13, 1987 in conjunction with the recording of Parcel Map No. 17161 (Lot No. 1).
1 b. IMPROVEMENTS
The Archery Range is 45.15 acres in size. In 1990, the City granted Conditional Use Permit No.
152 and Coastal Permit No. 84 to the South Bay Archery Club to use the property on a
temporary basis as an outdoor roving archery range. This use had been displaced from its
previous location on the north side of Palos Verdes Drive South when the City substantially re-
graded this area as part of a landslide abatement project in 1986. The Archery Club has made
minimal improvements to the property in conjunction with the CUP, including the placement of
targets,warning signage, benches and small shade structures.
c. DEED RESTRICTIONS
There are no deed restrictions. However, the.property is located within the most active portion
of the Portuguese Bend Landslide and expe ences nearly cons,tnt land movement. As a result,
S - the property is not suitable for permanent structures or unregulated public access.
d. POTENTIAL USES
None proposed.
e. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
None proposed.
f. ACTION STEPS
None proposed.
