RESOLUTION NO. R-2022-112
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PISMO BEACH,
CALIFORNIA DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE
OR DENY COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT CONSOLIDATION REQUESTS WHEREAS, Section 30601.3 of the California Public Resources Code allows for a consolidated permitting process for projects for which the Coastal Development Permit (CDP) authority is shared by a local government and the California Coastal Commission (Commission), which would result in the Commission issuing a CDP for the entire project within its and the local government's CDP authority; and WHEREAS, in order for the Commission to process and act upon a consolidated CDP application, Section 30601.3 of the Public Resources Code requires that the applicant, the local government, and the Commission consent to the consolidation, provided that public participation is not substantially impaired by the consolidation; and WHEREAS, requests for a consolidated CDP process often require a very quick turnaround, making it necessary to expedite requests by having the City Manager, or designee, approve or deny a consolidation request in most cases; and ' WHEREAS, since Public Resources Code Section 30601.3 does not specifically confer authority to the City Manager to approve or deny consolidation of CDP permitting to the Commission, it is necessary for the City Council to grant authority to the City Manager to approve or deny requests for consolidation of CDP permitting to the Commission when the City Manager or designee deems such requests to be consistent with Public Resources Code Section 30601.3.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Pismo Beach hereby grants authority to the City Manager, or designee, to approve or deny Coastal Development Permit consolidations requests.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Pismo Beach that public participation will not be substantially impaired by the Council's delegation of ongoing authority to the City Manager to approve or deny Coastal Development Permit consolidation requests from the Commission under Public Resources Code Section 30601.3 because the Commission will likely hold a public hearing on consolidated CDP applications, allowing interested parties to submit timely comments to the Commission and/or attend the hearing on the project to submit oral testimony, and the consolidated permit process will allow for projects to be evaluated in their entirety.
UPON MOTION OF Council Member Newton, seconded by Council Member Guthrie, the foregoing resolution was adopted by the City Council of the City of Pismo Beach this 20t' day of December 2022, by the following vote:
