Coastal Commission Meeting Descriptions & Vote Charts
The Coastal Commission meets monthly in different coastal communities in California, from Del Norte to San Diego counties. The Commission deliberates on the merits and drawbacks of proposed coastal development projects within the 1.5-million acre, 1,100-mile long California coastal zone. The California Coastal Act itself provides the policies and standards that guide the Commissioners’ decision making.
Each month, ActCoastal selects the most important Commission votes and rates them as being either pro-coast or anti-coast. A description of the issues affected by each vote, as well as a record of individual Commissioners’ votes (pro-coast or anti-coast) and their alternates or absence, appears in the monthly vote charts.
