| Summary | On Thursday, the Commission approved a cease and desist order for Coastal Act violations at the Temescal Ridge Trailhead in Los Angeles County. Violations included locking of a gate that blocked public access to a public parking lot and restrooms, failure to transfer the property to an entity for public use as required by a CDP and failure to maintain the visitor serving facilities. The Commission acted on a related enforcement item in May 2022. This action resolves the violation with the current property owner and orders the property to finally be reopened to the public. |
| Outcome | 
|
| Outcome Description | Commissioners unanimously approved the cease and desist orders and the violator consented to the agreement. |
| Why You Should Care | Enforcing permit conditions, especially those that require public access, is integral to the Coastal Act’s mission of maximizing public access to and along the coast. The Temescal Ridge is a scenic trail in the Santa Monica Mountains and an important resource for those looking for fresh air and breathtaking coastal views. |
