Supporting HWG Member: Inner City Law Center
Existing law, the California Coastal Act of 1976, among other things, requires anyone wishing to perform or undertake any development in the coastal zone, except as specified, in addition to obtaining any other permit required by law from any local government or from any state, regional, or local agency, to obtain a coastal development permit from the California Coastal Commission or a local government, as provided. The act provides that a coastal development is not required for specified types of development in specified areas, as provided.
SB 1077 provides that a coastal development permit shall not be required for the addition of an accessory dwelling unit or a junior accessory dwelling unit that is proposed to be developed on a lot with an existing residential structure, unless in specified locations.
