LAGUNA BEACH, Calif.—A local activist group submitted enough signatures for a possible ballot initiative to the Laguna Beach City Clerk’s office Jan. 10, which could give residents a chance to approve major development projects in the coastal community.
“We believe passage of this initiative will raise the bar to bring better projects to Laguna Beach,” Chris Catsimanes, a board member for Laguna Residents First, a non-profit residents’ organization established in 2020, said in a statement. “It will also encourage developers to consider resident’s concerns, leading to faster approvals of good projects.”
