The purpose of this Article is to establish procedures for amending the County Coastal
Zoning Ordinance, which is part of the LCP. These procedures shall apply to all proposals
to change any property from one (1) zone to another (i.e. to amend the zoning map)
or to amend the text of this Chapter. The Coastal Zoning Ordinance may be amended
by the Board of Supervisors whenever the public health, safety, or general welfare,
good zoning practice, and consistency with the Coastal Act, the County General Plan,
or the Coastal Area Plan justify such action.
For amendment(s) to this chapter in conjunction with a hazardous waste facility, the
Coastal Zoning Ordinance may be amended by the Board of Supervisors whenever such
amendments are consistent with the portions of the County Hazardous Waste Management
Plan (CHWMP) that identify specific sites or siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities.
Amendments to the Coastal Zoning Ordinance are not effective until and unless certified
by the California Coastal Commission.
