Coastal Commission Certification

On May 9, 2019, the Coastal Commission certified the Draft Coastal LUP with suggested modifications. For more information on the May 9 hearing and the suggested modifications, click here.

Next Steps

The updated Coastal LUP will not be effective until the City Council agrees to the CCC's suggested modifications to the updated Coastal LUP, the CCC determines at its next public meeting that the City's action to accept the suggested modifications is legally adequate to satisfy the CCC's certification order, and notice of certification is filed with the Secretary of the Resources Agency. Once the updated Coastal LUP becomes effective, all Coastal Development Permits approved after that day must be consistent with the updated Coastal LUP.

On June 20, 2019, the Planning Commission considered the CCC’s suggested modifications to the updated Coastal LUP and unanimously recommended approval of the suggested modifications to City Council. City Council will consider accepting the CCC's suggested modifications on July 16, 2019. For more information on the hearing schedule, click here.
