Summary

The California Coastal Act of 1976 provides for the planning and regulation of development, under a coastal development permit process, within the coastal zone, as defined. For purposes of the act, "development" is defined to mean, on land, or in water, among other things, the placement or erection of any solid material or structure, as defined. For purposes of that definition, "structure" includes, but is not limited to, any buildings, road, pipe, flume, conduit, siphon, aqueduct, telephone line, or electrical power transmission and distribution line. The act requires that the scenic and usual qualities of coastal areas be considered and protected as a resource of public importance. This bill would specify that, for purposes of the act, "structure" does not include the construction or erection of a flagpole on land or water in the coastal zone. The bill would further prohibit the construction or erection of a flagpole on land or water in the coastal zone from being determined to adversely impact the scenic or visual qualities of coastal areas.
