California AB1740 expedites the City of Santa Monica's coastal development permits and local coastal program.

California AB1740 mandates the City of Santa Monica to submit a complete local coastal program by January 1, 2029. The commission must act on this proposal within six months, or reimburse the city for related costs. The bill also waives coastal development permit requirements for converting road right-of-ways into bicycle, transit, or pedestrian lanes, provided the project enhances public access. Additionally, it expedites the processing of applications for such conversions and requires the commission to report annually on these applications.
