ENCINITAS — A development consultant has asked a Superior Court judge to enforce a provision of a lawsuit settlement with the city of Encinitas that would require them to adopt an affordable housing plan without a public vote. DCM Properties, the namesake company of development consultant David C. Meyer, recently filed the motion to enforce the settlement between the firm and Encinitas, which stemmed from a 2016 lawsuit over, among other things, the city’s lack of an approved housing element. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Sept. 8 in Judge Earl Maas's courtroom. DCM Properties attorney Christian Abasto said that the city as part of the settlement was required

hasn’t been accepted by everyone. Restaurants and stores frequently admonish patrons that without shoes, they won’t be served. A Las Vegas-based organization, however, is trying to change this, and it sees Encinitas as a fertile ground for spreading the doctrine of barefoot acceptance.

Barefoot is Legal is a nonprofit organization that is trying to eradicate the stigma associated with being barefoot, and raise awareness that there are no laws against the practice, despite the common misconception of such rules. Proponents of being TURN TO BAREFOOT ON A14

In a 7-0 decision July 6, the Supreme Court sidestepped some of the RANCHO larger issues at play in the case SFNEWS Lynch et al v. California Coastal Commission. Thomas Frick and Barbara Lynch sought to challenge the regulatory agency’s imposition of a 20-year expiration date on their permit for a seawall they built after the old structure collapsed during a 2010 storm. The court ruled that by building the seawall, the residents lost their right to sue the state. “In conclusion, although plaintiffs filed an administrative mandate petition, they forfeited their objections by constructing the project,” Justice Carol Corrigan wrote in the court’s decision. “Without an express agreement with the agency providing otherwise, landowners who object to permit conditions…must litigate their objections in an administrative mandate proceeding before constructing the permitted project. “Landowners who
