Coastal Commission votes unanimously to oppose Beachwood settlement bill

The California Coastal Commission voted unanimously at Thursday’s meeting to oppose AB1991 in concept so that commission staff could prepare for hearings next month and be able to present the commission’s opinion of the settlement.

In proposing the resolution, Commissioner Sara Wan said, "This is a very bad settlement agreement and could set terrible precedent. So, I would like this commission to oppose in concept this and to give the staff the ability to deal with it."

Commissioner Steve Blank seconded the motion, saying, "I think this is a big deal."
