Santa Monica is moving closer to gaining control over coastal development with a new Local Coastal Program, approved by city council to work alongside the California Coastal Commission. This plan, building on ideas from 2018, will give the city more authority to approve events, buildings, outdoor dining, and street improvements in the coastal zone—including the Third Street Promenade—while still protecting the coastline. The mayor says it will speed up approvals and reduce confusion. The process kicks off in July 2026, with full approval targeted by end of 2027.
