Coastal panel’s staff faults Home Depot plans

From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Plans for a new Home Depot near Belmont Shore do not meet state rules for coastal development, the California Coastal Commission staff said Friday.

The staff recommends that the commission reject the 16-acre project at its Oct. 10 meeting in San Pedro because of traffic, environmental and safety problems, and because the parcel lacks a legal permit. Home Depot remains committed to the project, a spokeswoman said.

The report is available at www.coastal.ca.gov/mtgcurr .html.
