A development that has been a repeat topic in Redondo Beach City Council chambers appears to be in limbo, still.
The council two weeks ago couldn't muster enough votes to support or reject Pearl Plaza, a mixed-use project on Pacific Coast Highway near Pearl Street.
The Redondo Beach Woman's Club and nearby homeowners were appealing the Planning Commission's approval of a plan with 34 condos and 15,500 square feet of commercial space, saying its size and modern look didn't conform with the neighborhood.
The 2-1 vote on Dec. 2 fell short because three "yes" votes were required for passage.
On Tuesday, the council voted 3-1 to uphold the planning panel's ruling and deny the residents' appeal, giving developers the green light to move forward. Councilman Steve Aspel dissented, and Councilman Chris Cagle recused himself because of a conflict.
But that vote doesn't signal the end of the saga, as Mayor Mike Gin indicated he would veto it. The council could only overturn his veto with a four-fifths vote.
Webb said there is then the chance that the developers could ask a court to decide the issue.
