Outreach Efforts and Opportunities (To Date)

Coastal Act Goals

Key Concerns of the 1976 Coastal Act:

• Public Access
• Recreation & Visitor-Serving Facilities
• Environmentally Sensitive Habitats (ESHA) & Other Natural

Resources

• Planning & Locating New Development
• Scenic and Visual Resources
• Coastal Hazards, Shoreline Erosion & Protective Devices
• Water Quality Protection

5

Coastal Hazards & Redevelopment Definition

Hazard zones

• Retreat – move to a safer location
• Accommodate – elevate/design
• Protect – armor

Redevelopment Conformance Trigger

• Revised definition applicable to Hazard zone and ESHA
• LCP certification date vs Coastal Act effective date (1977)
• Major structural components

Asilomar Dunes – lot coverage, subdivision & fencing

• 15% Primary Coverage Area & 750 square feet for Outdoor

Use Area regardless of lot size

• Exceptions to calculating coverage - driveways in setback

areas, eaves

• Perimeter fencing around Outdoor Use Area allowed that

allows free passage of sand, plant seeds and small wildlife

• Subdivision prohibited unless full conservation easement

placed on new parcel

• Continued prohibition of accessory dwelling units
• Undergrounding utilities

8

Overnight Accommodations & Natural Resources

Overnight Accommodations/Visitor-Serving Uses

• 40 foot maximum height reflects existing development standards
• Policies encourage visitor-serving uses and maintain lower and

moderate cost overnight accommodations

• Allows Short-term (or Vacation) Rentals

Natural Resources Protection

• Continued protection of natural resources and sensitive species
• Balance with access requirements through CDP process

9

Scenic Views & Community Design Standards

Scenic Views

• Continued protection of stellar public views
• Scenic view areas – everything seaward of first

public road

• Scenic view points – public vantage points

providing views of beaches, open waters, sand dunes, rocky shorelines, historic resources Community Design Standards

• Height, setbacks, lot coverage, parking, design
