Commentary: Santa Monica coastal exemption concerns
Governor Gavin Newsom has quietly supported a bill that would exempt a Santa Monica coastal development project from the California Coastal Commission review, raising concerns about undermining protections established by the Coastal Act. The bill, linked to a project owned by donor Jeff Worthe, would allow the project to bypass regulatory scrutiny if Santa Monica does not complete its local coastal plan by 2028. Critics argue this offensive against the Coastal Act diminishes longstanding coastal protections, especially as California celebrates the law’s 50th anniversary.
