Who We Are
Concerned Neighbors.org is an unincorporated association of homeowners and residents (in formation) established in March 2025 in opposition to the proposed plan for developing 17-21 Jib Street.
We oppose the “supersizing” proposed in the plans for 17-21 Jib St because, by seeking exemption from various existing building standards, it would worsen congestion, parking, fire safety, and already strained public infrastructure.
Most of us live in Venice-Marina del Rey. We wholeheartedly support responsible development of the coastal areas of Venice and of the peninsula. We have no other agenda and no other affiliations.

Background
A developer is proposing to build a 5-story, 59-foot high, 25-unit residential apartment building providing only 9 on-site parking spaces.
This proposed development would require modification of existing building codes and zoning provisions, including:
- 5-story 59-foot building is 28 feet higher than current height restriction
- Only 9 parking spaces instead of the required 57 spaces required by code
- 25 units which double the density permitted by codes
- Decreased in front, rear and side yard setbacks, which could cause health and safety issues for the fire department (among others)
The plan is to demolish a historic building (c 1906) with 5 existing low cost and rent controlled units and replacing them with six (5 “very low” and 1 “low income”) housing units.
How Can I Help?
