Supreme Court extends deadline on LCP issue
The state Supreme Court has extended its deadline to grant or deny the city of Malibu’s petition for review in its case against the California Coastal Commission. The city filed the petition on Oct. 1, and the court had 60 days to respond. But the court is allowed to put an extension on its deadline. The city is battling the Coastal Commission to gain the right to have its residents vote on a Local Coastal Program document drafted by the commission. A Superior Court judge and the California Court of Appeal have ruled that the residents do not have the right to vote on the document.
