- ADVERTISEMENT - Councilman Roberto Uranga, who also serves on the Coastal Commission, signed onto an appeal late last month challenging some of the aspects of the proposed hotel, including how it affects pedestrian access to the coast, the cost to stay at the hotel and how the hotel’s valet parking would impact access to a public park. The appeal was also signed by Coastal Commission Chair Steve Padilla. Celina Luna, Uranga’s chief of staff, originally declined to comment on the appeal because it was still active and said that the appeal could be heard as soon as May. A few hours later, a Coastal Commission spokesperson confirmed the appeal had been pulled.
