About this Program:
Land use law in the coastal zone raises unique issues, such as how public rights to access the beach can be balanced with private property rights, and how homes on bluff tops can be protected from bluff erosion without harming the environment. This year’s second Beach Law class, Local Coastal Land Development Issues, will provide a general overview of local coastal land development law in California, including:

  • What lands are subject to the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission
  • How local cities, the Port, and Coastal Commission regulate coastal development
  • Overview of the Coastal Permit Process
  • Coastal Access, Bluff Management and Current Issues
