Summary

The California Coastal Act of 1976 prescribes procedures for the approval and certification of a local coastal program by the California Coastal Commission, and provides for the delegation of development review authority to a local government, as defined, with a certified local coastal program. Under the act, an action taken by a local government after certification of its local coastal program on a coastal development permit application may be appealed to the commission only on specified grounds and only for certain types of developments, including any development approved by a coastal county that is not designated as the principal permitted use under the zoning ordinance or zoning district map, as specified. This bill would exempt a local government that is both a city and county from the above provision relating to the appeal of developments approved by a coastal county. The act requires a local government taking an action on a coastal development permit to send notification of its final action to the commission by certified mail, as provided. This bill would also allow notification to the commission by electronic mail, as provided. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for certain areas of the state that are both a city and county.
