Reinecke v. California Coastal Commission - Pacific Legal Foundation

California Coastal Commission Cases --> California Coastal Commission and City of Laguna Beach ignore their own rules to block couple’s right to build an ADU Reinecke v.

It’s exempt from a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) requirement under the terms of a 1993 Categorical Exclusion Order issued by the Commission and administered by the City.

The Reineckes are fighting back in state courts to force the City of Laguna Beach and Coastal Commission to follow the rules, mandatory procedures, and state law.

Steve and Karen Reinecke are approaching retirement with a plan: add an attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to their Laguna Beach, CA, home.
