From the article...A San Mateo County couple does not have to comply with a California Coastal Commission order that they use a portion of their property for agriculture, a judge ruled this week.San Mateo County Superior Court Judge George Miram ruled the commission cannot force the Sterling family of El Granada to deed most of their 142-acre property for an agricultural easement as a condition of their permit to build a 6,000-square-foot house. The property is zoned for agricultural use, but the permit condition would have required the Sterlings to reserve land for ranching or farming. The Coastal Commission is charged with regulating development along California's coast, and protecting it for public use. The commission has not yet decided whether to appeal Monday's ruling, a spokeswoman said.
We have heard about this couple before in El Granada that want to build a large home on a large parcel of land zoned agriculture. The CC wanted them to "
deed most of their 142-acre property for an agricultural easement as a condition of their permit to build a 6,000-square-foot house." In my opinion that is one more example of a lack of respect for private property.
