California Court of Appeal
McAllister v. California Coastal Comm'n, H031283
In a property dispute between neighbors, grant of a coastal development permit is reversed and remanded where: 1) the California Coastal Commission (the Commission) did not make the findings necessary to justify that action or even consider whether denying a permit would constitute a taking; and 2) in granting the permit, the Commission failed to proceed in the manner required by law and abused its discretion.
