Any person, including an applicant for a permit or the California Coastal Commission, aggrieved by the decision or action of a local government that is implementing a certified local coastal program which decision or action may not be appealed to the California Coastal Commission, shall have a right to judicial review of such decision or action by filing a petition for writ of mandate in accordance with the provisions of Section 1094.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure within sixty days after the decision or action has become final. Notice of action against a local government shall be filed with the California Coastal Commission within five working days of the filing of this action. When an action is brought challenging the validity of a local coastal program, a preliminary showing shall be made prior to proceeding on the merits as to why such action should not have been brought pursuant to the provisions of Section 30801, Public Resources Code.
