On Nov. 1, when signs marking a seasonal closure would have come down, they instead will remain for seven years.
Thus on Nov. 1, when signs marking the closure area would have come down, they instead will remain. After the seven-year period, the city will need to apply for another amendment or a new coastal development permit to continue the access restrictions.
The seasonal closure, which began last year, came after months of reports of people going onto the rocks at Point La Jolla and bothering — in some cases harming — sea lions and their pups. The closure is implemented through signs, a chain across the wooden access stairway and two K-rail barriers on the western end of the closure area.
La Jolla’s Children’s Pool already is closed from Dec. 15 to May 15 annually during harbor seal pupping season. The permit for that closure will be up for review in 2029. Because the closure area is in the coastal zone — a space that is in both city and Coastal Commission jurisdiction — the permit application needed to be approved by both.
