Protect Our Village v. Cal. Coastal Com.
The City of Santa Barbara (City) issued a conditional coastal development permit for a mixed use residential/commercial project on two adjoining parcels of land. At the City's request, the California Coastal Commission (Commission) certified a local coastal plan (LCP) amendment rezoning one of the parcels from residential to commercial. The trial court rejected appellant's contention that the Commission had to assess the environmental impacts of the whole development project before certifying the amendment. We conclude the Commission appropriately limited its review to whether the amendment's zoning change conforms to and carries out the provisions of the City's existing, certified land use plan (LUP). (Pub. Resources Code, § 30513.)[1] We affirm.
