§ 20.01

Title 20 identifies permit requirements and development standards for proposed development, as defined in Chapter 20.130 (Coastal Zoning Code Definitions), in the unincorporated areas of Marin County within the Coastal Zone established by the California Coastal Act of 1976. This Title implements applicable provisions of the Coastal Act and the Marin County Local Coastal Program and Land Use Plan, which, among other things identify the location and density of development, provide for visitor-serving facilities, provide for public access to and along the coast, and protect significant public views and natural resources. Chapters 20.60 through 20.70 inclusive, along with portions of Chapters 20.32 (Standards for Specific Land Uses) and 20.130 (Coastal Zoning Code Definitions) that apply in the coastal zone together constitute the LCP's Implementation Plan (Coastal Zoning Code).

(Ord. No. 3791, § III(Exh. A), 2023)

The requirements of this Title apply to all proposed development, as defined in Chapter 20.130 (Coastal Zoning Code), within the Coastal Zone. These requirements apply in addition to all other applicable provisions of this Development Code. In the event of any perceived conflict between the requirements of

the LCP's Implementation Plan and any other provisions of Title 22 (Development Code), the Implementation Plan shall control.

(Ord. No. 3791, § III(Exh. A), 2023)

All development in the Coastal Zone within the County's Coastal Development Permitting jurisdiction shall be consistent with the Marin County LCP and, where located between the nearest public road and the sea or the shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone, be supported by a specific finding that the development is in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act.
