Humboldt County Municipal Code § 95.3 Access Protection

The purpose of these regulations is to insure that development permitted by the County and

located within the County’s Coastal Zone does not interfere with public access acquired through use. The County, through the administration of these requirements, is not determining whether implied dedication or prescriptive rights exist. (Former Section CZ#A314-8(A))

Where, pursuant to the applicable review process in Chapter 2, Procedures,

of these regulations, there is substantial evidence of historic public use of the accessway, and the proposed development would interfere with such public use, the following shall apply: (Former Section CZ#A314-8(C))

of such accessway; or (Former Section CZ#A314-8(C)(1))

Access Dedication Sections of this Code, if the applicable Resource Protection Impact Findings of Chapter 2, Procedures, Supplemental Findings (312-2.19), are made. (Equivalent accessway means public access of equivalent type, intensity, and area of use to the same destination.) (Former Section CZ#A314-8(C)(2))

The requirements of subsection 313-95.3.3, shall not apply if the

applicant has established that the State of California has disposed of any interest in the accessway or that there has been a final court determination that there has been no implied dedication or prescriptive use. (Former Section CZ#A314-8(D)) 313-96 through 313-98 (Sections Reserved for Future Use) 313-99
