Coastal resources: coastal development permits: waiver of filing fees.

The California Coastal Act of 1976 requires any person undertaking development in the coastal zone to obtain a coastal development permit issued by the California Coastal Commission for a project, as defined, in accordance with prescribed procedures. The act authorizes the commission to require a reasonable filing fee and reimbursement of expenses for the processing by the commission of an application for a coastal development permit and, except for local coastal program submittals, for any other filing, including, but not limited to, a request for revocation, categorical exclusion, or boundary adjustment, submitted for review by the commission. This bill would authorize the commission to waive the filing fee for an application for a coastal development permit required under the act, as specified.
