Section 13304 - Notice of Intent Alternative

At least 30 days prior to the final adoption of a coastal development permit program a local government shall file a notice of intent with the commission. The notice of intent shall state the intent of the local government to adopt a coastal development permit program. Within 10 working days of receiving a notice of intent, the executive director of the commission shall prepare and distribute to the commission, to the local government and to any person known or thought to be interested an analysis of the local government's coastal development permit program. The analysis shall specify any provisions or omissions in the program which in the opinion of the executive director cause such program to be inconsistent with the requirements of the California Coastal Act or of Section 13302. The report may include recommended modifications of the program to cure the legal defects. The executive director shall make every effort to consult with the local government and suggest modifications to the coastal development permit program in order to resolve any areas of disagreement between the local government and the executive director prior to the commission's next regularly scheduled meeting. After giving notice in the manner prescribed in Section 13059, the commission shall review the executive director's report at its next regularly scheduled meeting and shall, following a public hearing on the report, adopt a resolution setting forth modifications, if any, in the local government coastal development permit program that it determines to be necessary to make such program consistent with the requirements of the California Coastal Act and Section 13302.

Following 30 days after filing with the commission a notice of intent the local government may adopt a coastal development permit program for the entire area of its jurisdiction within the coastal zone. If a coastal development permit program is adopted, the local government shall by resolution pursuant to Public Resources Code, Section 30620.5(b) notify the commission and all contiguous local governments within the coastal zone and shall publish the resolution in the same manner as it would publish a notice of a proposed general plan amendment; provided, however, that such notice shall also be published in the newspaper with the widest circulation in the portion of the local government jurisdiction lying within the coastal zone. The notification to the commission shall include a specific statement as to whether or not any modifications determined by the commission to be necessary pursuant to this Section have been incorporated in the coastal development permit program.
