Agency Recommends Permit for Coastal Homes
The California Coastal Commission’s staff recommended issuing a coastal development permit to build a 70-home gated community at Hellman Ranch.
The commission already approved Hellman Properties LLC’s subdivision plan in October 2000 after the developer made significant concessions, including agreeing not to build a golf course on sensitive coastal wetlands and agreeing to sell another tract of wetlands to the state once oil operations are complete.
The permit was scheduled for consideration before the commission on Tuesday at a public hearing in Los Angeles. It allows the construction of infrastructure on the 196-acre parcel near the San Gabriel River.
