Del Norte County Municipal Code § 20.08.5 Intent; Applicability

Because the state and federally owned lands within the county are some of the most significant resources in the county, this district is intended to recognize the existence and importance of these publicly owned lands. It is further the intent of this section to express the county's interest in participating in the decision making processes of the responsible state and federal agencies on all decisions affecting public lands within the county. Because of the nature of public acquisition of the state and federal lands, and the resulting pattern of ownership, some privately owned land is included in the PO classification.

The following regulations shall apply in all PO districts and shall be subject to the provisions of Chapters 20.46 and 20.48 of this code except as otherwise provided below.
