California court permits off-roading at Oceano Dunes, rejecting ban by Coastal Commission.

A California court has ruled that off-roading can continue at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area, rejecting the California Coastal Commission's attempt to ban off-highway vehicles. The decision supports Friends of Oceano Dunes, stating that the Commission overstepped its authority. The ruling maintains the area as a key economic driver, generating about $500 million annually from out-of-area visitors.
