The work was ordered halted because the project lacked an environmental impact permit as well as other required permits, according to local media.
On Tuesday, August 10, the hillside just south of the gay-popular section of the beach collapsed, forcing the evacuation of the site's neighbors and taking with it part of Calle Santa
