  Cayucos property owners lose court appeal

  A state appellate court has ruled that a development in Cayucos must get approval from the California Coastal Commission before it can be built.

  The ruling handed down Monday is the latest development in a four-year quest by Franco and Sonia DeCicco to build a 17-unit motel and four residential condominiums at Ocean Boulevard and Old Creek Road.

  The project was approved in a 3-2 vote by the county Board of Supervisors and was subsequently appealed to the Coastal Commission. The commission found enough questions about the project to warrant a full review.

  Cayucos bluff house plan gets approval and a warning

  A controversial seaside house on a Cayucos bluff above the Pacific got the final go-ahead Tuesday from the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors, but the panel’s chairman warned the homeowner that his neighbors might appeal to the California Coastal Commission if he does not remove an offensive sign.

  Marshall Lewis, a physician who plans to build the two-story, 4,555-square-foot house, has a sign on it that includes a derogatory word to describe his neighbors, according to Supervisor Adam Hill.

  The “extremely obnoxious and crude sign continues to be posted,” said Hill, who called it “an un-neighborly gesture.”

  Morro Bay-Cayucos sewage plant decision is stuck between money and Coastal Commission

  The thorny question of where to build a new sewage treatment plant will be up for discussion tonight when officials from Morro Bay and Cayucos hold a joint meeting.

  The existing sewage treatment plant is a quandary for the two communities. It needs a major upgrade that is expected to cost at least $34 million, but the state Coastal Commission does not like the proposed location near the ocean.

  Analyses done by a consulting firm show that moving the treatment plant to a new location could almost double the cost, mostly because private property would have to be acquired. That’s a problem for Morro Bay Mayor Bill Yates.

  Planners to consider proposal for Oceano medical marijuana collective

  A proposal for a medical marijuana collective in Oceano faces an uphill battle when it goes to the San Luis Obispo County Planning Commission on Thursday.

  Tammy Murray of Oceano said she’s not optimistic that the commission will vote in favor of her plans to open Compassionate Cannabis Information Center at 1409 S. Fourth St.

  Murray said she’s going to give the hearing her best shot, even as she expressed frustration with rules that have essentially created a de facto moratorium on any medical marijuana centers from being able to set up shop in San Luis Obispo County.
