Coastal Commission Moratorium on ADU's update?

[Jayne Wayne]

Within a couple Central Coast communities, the California state ADU laws have been thwarted because just one or two locals on a mission to pull up the drawbridge have enlisted the Coastal Commission to prevent growth of any kind. It's a real 'pull up the drawbridge' scenario under the guise of water conservation in my humble opinion. It's my understanding there is pushback from the state and lawsuits locally to challenge their authority thereby allowing the California state ADU laws to be applied equally. However, I'm uncertain where this stands. Does anyone have current information on the ADU status as it relates to the Coastal Commission's ADU moratorium? I'm a Central Coast home owner who is interested in joining the fight to reclaim property rights per the state's ADU laws. Does anyone have current information or thoughts on where I might look to find it?
