AB 357: Coastal resources: coastal development permit application: higher education housing project.

This bill aims to amend the Public Resources Code to promote coastal development efficiency. It allows universities and colleges to submit long-range land use development plans, which can replace project-by-project reviews for public works projects. The plan can be amended to remove conditions set by the Coastal Commission, but only if the amendment is deemed "de minimis" by the executive director. The bill also gives the executive director the authority to determine if an amendment is de minimis and provides procedures for approval. Additionally, it requires the Coastal Commission to track and publish public works plans, amendments, and notices of development submitted by universities and colleges on its website.
