§ 8175-5.6.1.1. Planned development permit.

a.

A Planned Development Permit shall be required for film production activities, or access to a film permit area, that meets one or more of the following criteria:

1.

Film production activities would last more than fourteen (14) days and less than one hundred eighty (180) days in duration;

2.

May directly or indirectly impact an environmentally sensitive habitat area (ESHA). For example, a direct impact could be the removal of major vegetation in order to construct a film set, and an indirect impact could be the introduction of loud and persistent noise or intense light that would harm animals with a low tolerance for these types of effects;

3.

Would include grading or landform alteration;

4.

Would restrict public access to public recreation areas; or

b.

Would result in inadequate coastal access parking. For the purpose of this subsection, inadequate coastal access parking would occur if a base camp or temporary film production activities occupy one or more public parking spaces used for coastal beach access.

c.

Planned Development Permits shall not be issued for film production activities located on a sandy beach within Ventura County's permit jurisdiction during weekends or holidays of the peak summer months (Memorial Day through Labor Day).
