Pedro Point’s character is at risk

One of the beautiful aspects of Pedro Point is its relaxing setting. Unfortunately, development is now threatening to destroy the tranquility.  The property at 315 San Pedro, Pacifica [Google satellite map] is now for sale. You may know it as the flat field where the llamas hang out.
You can see the listing yourself at http://www.californiamoves.com/property/propertysearch.aspx. In "Quick Search" enter the number "292178" then click GO button.

This 5.5 acres is zoned C-2 Commercial. This type of zoning allows for the building of hotels, retail comercial, automobile sales and services, electrical substation, RV park, poultry slaughtering, etc. Virtually everything under the sun. At $7,000,000 it would take a substantial development to get the return on the investment.

You can find the permitted uses and developmental regulations in the zoning section of the Pacifica municipal codes at Lexis-Nexis.
Needless to say this could substantially change the character of Pedro Point.
