SANTA CRUZ — Updates to the layouts of the California Coastal Commission’s permit and appeal jurisdiction maps will be considered for approval at the governing body’s hybrid meeting Wednesday for four California cities including the city of Santa Cruz.
The permit and appeal jurisdiction areas are those within the Coastal Zone — or the area generally about 1,000 yards inland from the mean high tide line — that lie between the ocean and the first public road, within 300 feet of a beach, or mean high tideline where there is no beach, within 300 feet of a coastal bluff edge or within 100 feet of a wetland, estuary, or stream, submerged lands or public trust lands.

According to the meeting agenda report, Coastal Commission staff recommend that Commission members approve the revised permit and appeal jurisdiction map layouts, which show additional text in the form of a map note for the four cities. The report states that including the required text corrects an oversight.
