Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The Commission shall take final action
					 upon the land use plan or LRDP within ninety (90) days after submittal unless
					 the local government or governing authority waives in writing the ninety (90)
					 day time limit. No vote shall be taken unless a staff recommendation is
					 prepared and distributed pursuant to Section
					 13532.
(b) Except as provided in Public Resources
					 Code Section
					 30512(a)(3),
					 a decision to certify a land use plan or LRDP shall require a majority vote of
					 the appointed membership of the Commission. Where no modifications are
					 proposed, the final motion is on the affirmative question of whether the land
					 use plan or LRDP as submitted should be certified. Where modifications are
					 proposed, the final motions shall be on (1) the affirmative question of whether
					 the land use plan or LRDP, as submitted, should be certified and (2) the
					 affirmative question of whether the land use plan or LRDP, as modified, should
					 be certified. Any vote on the addition or deletion of modifications, including
					 the specific terms or wording of a modification, may be carried by a majority
					 of the commissioners present. Any suggested modifications adopted by the
					 Commission shall be specific and susceptible to objective review and
					 verification by the executive director of the Commission, by the local
					 government or governing authority and by any interested person or public
					 agency. The Commission's certification with suggested modifications shall
					 expire on January 1, 1983 or six months from the date of Commission action,
					 whichever is later. If the local government, pursuant to Public Resources Code
					 Section
					 30512,
					 requests the Commission not recommend modifications, the Commission may discuss
					 alternatives in the findings for denial of the land use plan or LRDP as
					 submitted.
(c) If consistent with
					 the staff recommendation and not otherwise specified at the time of the vote,
					 the action taken shall be deemed to have been taken on the basis of the reasons
					 set forth in the staff recommendation and shall thus be deemed to adopt the
					 findings, conclusions, and modifications, if any, recommended by the
					 staff.
(d) Any action of the
					 Commission to certify or to refuse certification of a land use plan or LRDP as
					 submitted by local government or a governing authority shall be final on the
					 day of the Commission vote, notwithstanding a subsequent action of the
					 Commission to adopt findings in support of its decision. An action of the
					 Commission to certify a land use plan or LRDP subject to suggested
					 modifications shall be final on the day the Commission concurs with the
					 executive director's report of the acceptance of the suggested modifications
					 pursuant to Section
					 13547(c) or the
					 executive director reports the acceptance of the suggested modifications to the
					 Commission pursuant to Section
					 13544.5(c).
