serious consequences is very important. i would support the motion to reject the appeal. vice president fung: i will make the motion, then. i am going to move that the appeal be denied on the basis that the local coastal permit has as issued by the planning commission was consistent with both the general plan and the relevant coastal s plans coastal plans. i think it is important that we make give the factual basis for your determination, and if it is a matter of adopting the factual determinations of recreation and park department and the planning department, then we should be clear that is what we re doing, or if we have other factual determinations, we should make them. in some way, your decision must have factual determinations of consistency. vice president fung: it would be factual determinations based upon planning, not rec and park? i think this is and the factual information that is brought to your attention can be adopted by you. and so the permit is b
