§ 8184-5.3. LCP amendments do not alter categorical exclusion orders.

An amendment of the Coastal Zoning Ordinance shall not:

(a)

Alter an approved Categorical Exclusion Order;

(b)

Authorize the exclusion of any category of development not excluded by a Categorical Exclusion Order; or

(c)

Alter the geographic boundaries of the exclusion areas.

In the event an amendment of the Coastal Zoning Ordinance is certified by the Coastal Commission, development shall comply with the amended Ordinance, except where the terms and conditions of an approved Categorical Exclusion Order specify more restrictive development criteria. In such cases the Categorical Exclusion Order shall prevail.
