Hybrid format - Meeting are the 1st Thursday of each month
Los Osos Community Services District Office
2122 9th Street, Los Osos, CA
CALL TO ACTION:
Speak during the Public Comment Period at the beginning of the meeting and request that folks speak to the California Coastal Commission on Friday, May 10th, Item 7. Energy, Ocean Resources & Federal Consistency regarding the upcoming site surveys by Equinor Offshore Wind Company.
Rather than the Coastal Commission having a full-fledged hearing on this Coastal Development Permit, the Executive Director is allowing the item to be a Coastal Development Permit de minimis waiver. Which means the Executive Director has made a determination that permit No. 9-23-0874-W, for Equinor Wind US LLC to conduct their site surveys will have no adverse effect on coastal resources.
Please note this reference from the Coastal Act - Coastal Act section 30624.7 “A proposed development is de minimis if the executive director determines that it involves no potential for any adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on coastal resources….”
If speaking at the May 10th meeting is not possible, we encourage the submission of written comments on Item 7 by going to the www.coastal.ca.gov
