California Code, Public Resources Code - PRC § 31208

(a) Following completion of a coastal restoration plan, the conservancy shall forward the proposed plan to the commission for determination of conformity of the plan with the policies and objectives of Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000). The commission shall have 60 days to review the project and transmit the findings on such plan to the conservancy. If no comments are received within that period, the coastal restoration plan shall be deemed to be in accord with Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000).

(b) Following the certification of a local coastal program, the city or county or city and county with jurisdiction over the certified area, rather than the commission, shall review the coastal restoration plan where: (1) the proposed restoration plan will be implemented entirely within one local public agency's jurisdiction; (2) the area proposed for restoration is identified pursuant to the provisions of Section 31201; and (3) implementation of the coastal restoration plan does not require an amendment to the certified local coastal program. The local public agency shall review the coastal restoration plan to determine consistency with the certified local coastal program within 60 days after transmittal of the plan from the conservancy and shall transmit its findings to the conservancy immediately upon completion of plan review. If no comments are received at the end of the 60-day period, the plan shall be deemed to be in accord with the provisions of the certified local coastal program.

Where the coastal restoration plan will be implemented in whole or in part in an area in which the commission retains coastal development permit jurisdiction pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 30519, or in an area in which two or more local governments have coastal development permit jurisdiction, or where a local coastal program amendment is required to implement the plan, the commission shall be responsible for coastal restoration plan review and shall conduct the review in the following manner. The commission shall review the coastal restoration plan for consistency with the policies and objectives of Division 20, as provided in subdivision (a), for an area subject to retained coastal development permit jurisdiction pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 30519 and where a local coastal program amendment is required, and shall review the plan for consistency with certified local coastal programs for areas under local government coastal development permit jurisdiction.
