🌊🏡 Facing challenges with the California Coastal Commission? You are not alone. A recent Dana Point case is bringing national attention to the growing concerns many California coastal homeowners are facing when trying to rebuild, improve, or protect their properties. A local homeowner received city approval to replace their aging coastal home, but according to the lawsuit, the California Coastal Commission delayed the process for more than 3 years before imposing 15 “special conditions” tied to the permit approval.
Among the reported demands:
▪️ Waiving rights to protect the property from coastal erosion and storms
▪️ Agreeing to potentially demolish portions of the home if ordered in the future
▪️ Funding government-required surveys
▪️ Redesigning the project for additional approval by an unelected executive director
If you are considering relocating from a coastal property, downsizing, transitioning into another coastal area home or California community, investing elsewhere, or simply exploring your options — I am here to help guide you through the process with professionalism, discretion, and experience.
I specialize in Orange County communities, beach properties, equestrian homes, ranches, luxury homes, mountain estates, and investment opportunities. Or, if you’re simply looking to make a lifestyle change and relocate entirely, I would be honored to help you navigate your next move. Let’s chat!! 📞
