Curated Entitlements. Policy Interpretation. Lasting Impact.

Meet Chandra

Founder, Coastal Vérité LLC

Hello!

Thank you for visiting my website.

For more than two decades, I have worked at the intersection of coastal law, local code, and land use policy—where details matter, timelines tighten, and outcomes shape real places. I founded Coastal Vérité LLC for clients who value precision, discretion, and, ideally, a smoother path to approved.

Most of my work unfolds along Southern California’s shoreline, where I guide projects through the California Coastal Act, CEQA, and overlapping jurisdictions. My approach is both legal-forward and pragmatic: translate nuance into clear steps, select the right strategy, and keep the team moving.

Who I Serve

Property owners, developers, and design professionals pursuing complex coastal entitlements—those who appreciate rigorous analysis, steady guidance, and elegant execution.

My Ethos

Coastal Vérité LLC was founded on a singular belief: coastal entitlements deserve the same care, discretion, and creativity as any luxury endeavor. I choose not to be a consulting mill but a boutique land-use firm serving clients who value clarity, excellence, and enduring results.

At Coastal Vérité LLC, I blend:

  • Concierge-Level Service – Selective client partnerships allow me to deliver proactive, detail-rich support at every stage.

  • Tailored Strategy – No templates. Every entitlement path is mapped to match the complexity of your site and the integrity of your vision.

To me, land use is not just about securing approvals; it is about crafting legacy landscapes that reflect the aspirations of their owners and the enduring beauty of the coast.

“Land use, like luxury, is about impact.”

Coastal Vérité LLC delivers boutique land use consulting with a clear and strategic path through California’s intricate coastal regulations.

Together, let us shape the future of the coast, thoughtfully, purposefully, and with vision.
