: Legal Pad | LAIn latest move against development, environmental groups hope the CCC trumps the Cal Supremes
By Richard Binder
Claiming the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors violated numerous environmental protection laws in their approval of developer Matt Osgood?s plan to build along the coastline a few miles north of Isla Vista, the Naples Coalition, in cooperation with the Environmental Defense Center and the Surfrider Foundation, filed a lawsuit against the county and the board on Thursday.
Under Osgood?s Santa Barbara Ranch Project ? which was approved by the board of supervisors on Oct. 21 by a vote of three to two ? 71 estate-sized homes would be built at Naples. Of those 71 homes, nine would sit directly along the coastal bluffs, and each would be between 7,500 and 10,000 square feet, not including additional structures such as barns and guest houses.
The Naples Coalition is claiming the county violated several different environmental protection laws when they approved the development, including the California Environmental Quality Act, the California Coastal Act, State Planning & Zoning Law and the California Land Conservation Act, also known as the Williamson Act.
