General provisions
1,302 rules that bind every district rather than one — sign regulations, parking, floodplain and the rest of the code’s citywide chapters.
Signs shall be unobtrusive and shall not adversely impact public views of Scenic Elements, Significant Ridgelines, parks, the ocean, or any other scenic resource.
A major CDP shall be required for all schools, grade K through 12, accredited, including appurtenant facilities, which offer instruction required to be taught in the public schools by the Education Code of the State of California, in which no pupil is physically restrained.
Crop-based agriculture may be allowed, provided that a CDP is obtained and the development complies with the following minimum requirements and measures identified below, in addition to all other applicable requirements of the LIP, including Section 22.44.1800 et seq.
The CCT shall be identified and defined as a continuous trail system traversing the length of the State's coastline and designed and sited as a continuous lateral trail traversing the length of the coastal zone and connecting with contiguous trail links in adjacent coastal jurisdictions.
New fences, gates, and walls shall be subject to the following standards and may be erected and maintained subject to the requirements specified herein
Building construction and site design shall be subject to the following standards
New wireless telecommunication facilities shall be subject to the following standards, in addition to all of the other standards of the LCP.
This section implements applicable provisions of the LCP for ensuring the protection of the quality of coastal waters by providing standards for the review and authorization of development consistent with the requirements of the California Coastal Act.
Development shall minimize the creation of impervious surfaces... Development shall maintain, or enhance where appropriate and feasible, on-site infiltration of runoff...
New development shall be prohibited on slopes of 50 percent or greater, unless required
To receive approval for a demolition or conversion permit, all proposed projects shall comply with California Government Code sections 65590 and 65590.1, commonly known as the 1982 Mello Act.
Only one such accessory dwelling unit or habitable accessory structure shall be allowed on a property. All proposed accessory dwelling units and habitable accessory structures shall be required to retire one transfer of development credit pursuant to Section 22.44.1230.
To provide for adequate open spaces and the admission thereto of light and air, and to provide adequate visibility to the operators of motor and other vehicles along streets, highways and parkways, and at the intersection thereof, the yards provided in this LIP are created and established as part of a comprehensive system of yard and highway lines covering the unincorporated territory of the County.
Any person desiring a modification to yard or setback regulations may file an application for an administrative CDP, except that no application shall be filed or accepted if final action has been taken within one year prior thereto by the Director, Hearing Officer, or Commission on an application requesting the same, or substantially the same modification.
As part of the CDP process, the decision-making body shall review the proposed development to ensure protection of trails and public access to the maximum extent feasible under State and federal law, consistent with public safety needs, and the need to protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resources from overuse.
Property in any zone may be used for parks, trails, trail heads, playgrounds, and beaches, with all appurtenant facilities and uses customarily found in conjunction therewith, subject to the provisions of this section and all other applicable provisions of the LIP, provided that a CDP has first been obtained...
It is the purpose of this section 1410 to establish comprehensive parking provisions to effectively regulate the design of parking facilities and equitably establish the number of parking spaces required for various uses.
Bicycle parking space means an area at least six feet in length by at least two feet in width to accommodate secured storage for one bicycle.
All nonresidential parking lots accessible to the public, with the exception of parking lots providing 100 percent valet parking with an approved parking permit, shall provide accessible parking spaces designated for use by persons with disabilities.
The purpose of this section is to provide a mechanism to grant parking permits where the strict application of the parking requirements of Section 22.44.1410 would cause unnecessary hardship or would be inappropriate due to the unique characteristics of the proposed use.
