Coastal Commission green-lights 8 proposed homes in Cayucos

October 13, 2024

Proposed development in Cayucos 2

By KAREN VELIE

The California Coastal Commission last week approved an eight-home project proposed in Cayucos. Neighbors had appealed to the Coastal Commission, as expected, following the San Luis Obispo County Planning Commission’s 4-0 approval of the development in March.

The nearly 10 acre site is located on N. Ocean Avenue at the north end of the community of Cayucos within the residential multi-family land use category. South of the site set single family and multi-family residences on the bluff facing the ocean, and a mobile home park adjacent to the east.

Two Cayucos residents on Lucerne Road filed an appeal to the Coastal Commission arguing development on the site could lead to mudslides. However, applicant Josef Steinmann hired consultants to prepare several geotechnical reports that were peer reviewed and approved by the county geologist. The reports confirmed “that the potential for landslides was low and that there were no seeps or springs at the project site.”

The commissioners rejected the residents’ appeal.

To move forward, the SLO County Planning Commission will need to approve permits for each home.

Not mentioned in the article is that the consultant involved in all this is none other than Jamie Kirk, wife of Tom Jones of PG&E, one of many enablers of Adam Hill. If you want your project approved, you better hire Kirk (unless the FBI ends up arresting her). We will see.

Let the new Nimby transplants and Air BNB owners and investment property owners scream at the prospect of new construction that they aren’t instigating and draw blood!!!!! Let the rich battle it out while we all sit and eat cake!

“The average single-family home in the U.S. sits on about 0.2 acres. Consequently, 10 acres could accommodate around 50 homes.” Title needs to read *LUXURY homes…

The home sites appear to be near the .2 acre size you mention. The site does not lend itself to be fully developed due to topography. No doubt these ocean front home sites will be luxury+++ and not for the proletariat

More homes for people from the valley, not locals. Great.

Valley rats were basically locals. We welcome them. It is the invasion from OC and SF that drives this.


11

Absolutely right. Valley folk have been coming to the Central Coast for 150 years.

Every bit a part of our communities.

Actually, we don’t welcome the Valley (period).

Now the question is, how much money is going into the pockets of those on the Coastal Commission?

How about another self-ordained commission that is comprised of Oakies that charge every other commission to do business in California? Actually, the money has already been spent to raise the project cost thence outrageous property taxes.
