Coco Beach Resort is one of north San Pedro’s largest resorts but today the Department of Environment shut down construction and operations at the mega resort. In a 12 point letter dated today, Chief Environmental Officer Martin Allegria ordered the developer to “cease all operation and construction activities associated with Coco Beach Resort.”
7News understands that the problem with Coco Beach resort is one of non-compliance. There are six projects under development and while environmental compliance plans have been discussed for four – none of them have been signed by Coco Beach. That according to our information is what prompted the DOE to move on Coco Beach.
News from San Pedro is that since there are guests at the Coco Beach, operations have been allowed to continue but again construction has been shut down. A meeting is planned for tomorrow between the developers and the Department of Environment – during which an ECP for one of the projects will be signed.
The Coco Beach Resort has told our colleagues at The San Pedro Sun that they had submitted the necessary paperwork.
