A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH REQUESTING THE CALIFORNIA
COASTAL COMMISSION TO POSTPONE ACTION UPON
DRAFT REGULATIONS FOR COASTAL COMMISSIONS
AND TO CONSIDER SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS TO
PROCEDURAL MATTERS RELATED TO THE CALIFORNIA
COASTAL ACT OF 1976
WHEREAS, in recognition of the California Coastal Com-
mission's January 12, 1977 tentative agenda to consider and
possibly decide upon organizational regulations and emergency
regulations for processing of development permit applications,
vested right claims, exclusions from permit requirements from
the Coastal Act, and the issuance of permits by local govern-
ments; and
Such draft regulations for coastal commissions, if adopted
in their present form, would result in a cumbersome administra-
tive structure for local agencies; and
By considering such amendments to Chapter 7 of the guide-
lines (coastal development - permits issued by local government
and other public agencies) as suggested by the City of Los Angeles
(Attachment A) , coastal cities may be able to process Coastal
Development Permits in a more efficient manner; and
By deferring action on portions of the draft regulations
concerning local agencies, state and coastal cities repre-
sentatives will be afforded an opportunity to meet and confer
upon the guidelines in an effort to further refine the document;
and
The City is desirous of conducting similar review sessions
with the State regarding interpretive guidelines to assist
local governments and others in determining how the policies
of the Coastal Act shall be applied in the coastal zone prior
to certification of local coastal programs prior to the adoption
of such interpretive guidelines by the Coastal Commission,
JOC ;er 1,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach that it hereby requests the
California Coastal Commission to defer action upon Chapters 6
and 7 of the draft regulations for Coastal Commissions and
the interpretive guidelines for a period of approximately two
weeks to allow further refinement thereof.
i,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by this resolution, that the City
of Huntington Beach hereby endorses the suggested modifications
to Chapter 7 of the guidelines for Coastal Commissions prepared
by the City of Los Angeles and exhibited on Attachment A hereof
as a viable alternative to a portion of the draft regulations
as they now exist .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by this resolution that the City of
Huntington Beach urges the California Coastal Commission to take
action as expeditiously as possible upon receipt of the concerted
efforts of state and coastal cities representatives regarding
the suggested modifications to the draft regulations and the
interpretive guidelines in order to avoid a prolonged involun—
tary moratorium which presently is in existence as pending
coastal development matters must await these decisions.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at an adjourned meeting thereof, held on the
10th day of January, 1977 .
