December Coastal Commission Meeting Report
The Coastal Commission’s December hearing took place in Calabasas at the King Gillette Ranch on Wednesday, Dec. 11 through Friday, Dec. 13. The agenda was slightly lighter than usual with one key controversial item on Thursday.
The Commission approved an after-the-fact coastal development permit for the construction and operation of the Shore Hotel in Santa Monica - in violation of the Commission's coastal access policies. As always, the question of who gets to visit California’s coast has only one correct answer: EVERYONE.
