First Phase of Management Plan for West Cliff Drive Underway

Sep 14, 2019 | California Coastal News

There are roughly 6 sea caves at different parts of W. Cliff Dr. that experts say could collapse at any given time. While they have been there for decades, we’re told many still don’t know about them. Sea level rise will speed up the erosion of the coastal cliffs, and will result in the collapse of these sea caves placing public safety, the paths, and road along West Cliff Drive at risk. The City’s first step is to obtain public input through small work groups.

The reason given for the initial delay by the County was to allow additional time to refine the proposed policy amendments to address concerns of Coastal Commission staff and local property owners. However, this has not happened. Planning Department staff have met several times with Coastal Commission staff over the summer, but has not met with the Coastal Property Owners Association to address their concerns regarding the proposed LCP. On 9/24/19 Board of Supervisor’s meeting Consent item to delay the vote on the LCP, Steve Forer, CPOA President will ask the Board of Supervisors to direct Planning Committee staff to meet with CPOA to discuss requested changes to the proposed LCP, and any additional changes requested by CCC, before it is presented to the Board of Supervisors on 10/8/19.
