AGENDA / VIDEO.

2019. California Coastal Commission (CCC) decision denied a section of seawall proposed to protect the Coastal Trail west of Casa Mira condominiums on Mirada Rd (7/11/2019 revised findings).  The Commission approved the seawall only where needed to protect the pre-Coastal-Act 3-story apartment building at 2 Mirada (built in 1972), but not for the Casa Mira condominiums (built mid 1980’s), nor for the Coastal Trail which can be rerouted east of the condos to Mirada Rd. Casa Mira sued the CCC.

At the CCC’s July 11, 2019 meeting, they approved the seawall proposal by the residents of 2 Mirada Rd, and the Casa Mira (condominium) HOA.  There was a significant amendment, based largely on the request and comments of Surfrider to limit the seawall to not include the extension to attempt to protect the Coastal Trail, because of the precedent that would set.  The amendment passed 8-2, and the overall motion passed unanimously.

The video of this part of the meeting  starts at 6 hours 37 minutes, and runs for about 15 minutes.
