The California Supreme Court (told the butt heads who want to shut down offroading at the dunes) that the court declined to hear a petition from the California Coastal Commission (CCC) (buttheads, every damn one) seeking to ban off-highway vehicles (OHVs) at Oceano Dunes.

The  California Supreme Court decision to decline to hear the petition reaffirms the previous ruling by the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court, which found that the CCC's attempt to prohibit OHV use contradicted the Local Coastal Plan (LCP).

The move is a significant victory for OHV enthusiasts.

The Commission’s attempt to ban OHV use at Oceano Dunes contradicts the plain language of the certified Local Coastal Plan (LCP).

It further stated: “Here, we conclude the Commission did not have the authority to phase out OHV use by unilaterally amending the Oceano Dunes [development permit] because the LCP permits such use. The LCP states that one of its goals is to “ ‘maximize public recreational opportunities’ ”— including OHV use—at Oceano Dunes.”

Aside from maintaining the free country aspect of using some SAND that has no other useful function, (we have a really big damn desert between the coasts if anyone can ever figure out what to do with SAND) for having FUN with dunebuggies, it's a fact that the LAW about the damn California Coastal Commission was CLEAR about the legal use for the dunes was specifically for maximizing public recreational opportunities and specifically OHV use—at Oceano Dunes. 

Plus OHV recreation generates a half a billion dollars annually for the local economy.

There's no doubt in my mind that the coastal commission is made up of a bunch of rich people who want to make a lot of condos and apartment buildings, so they get richer, either with kick backs from developers, or pay raises based on tax income increasing, or some other boondoggle. Govt people, they simply don't leave recreational areas be, and instead focus on corporate pollution and code enforcement 

Oceano Dunes is about 1/2 way between San Diego and San Fransisco
