Section 35-93. - TC - Transportation Corridor.

Section 35-93.1 Purpose and Intent.

The purpose of this district is to preserve and protect established and proposed transportation corridors, to regulate land uses within and adjacent to such corridors, and to provide uniform TC development standards. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article, this district applies local authority to transportation corridor-related matters of public health, safety and welfare, land-use, and zoning insofar as the exercise of such authority does not conflict with general law, as from time to time amended. The further intent of this district is to ensure that development within transportation corridors is consistent with the Coastal Plan and other elements of the Comprehensive Plan.

County review of Transportation Corridor development recognizes that transportation facilities may cause adverse impacts on surrounding residents and properties, including, for example, noise, vibration, emissions, pollutants, run-off, odors, visual appearance, detraction from natural scenic values, electrical interference, and potential for hazards and disasters, and that transportation facilities may also be adversely affected by incompatible uses nearby. This review is not intended to regulate or interfere with road or railway operations, but instead evaluates alternative routes for proposed corridors, and analyzes TC development to avoid or feasibly mitigate potentially significant, adverse environmental impacts.

nd potential for hazards and disasters, and that transportation facilities may also be adversely affected by incompatible uses nearby. This review is not intended to regulate or interfere with road or railway operations, but instead evaluates alternative routes for proposed corridors, and analyzes TC development to avoid or feasibly mitigate potentially significant, adverse environmental impacts.

Major transportation corridors parallel the coastline, often in close proximity to the shoreline. As such, the corridors can attract, or even constitute the only feasible location for competing land uses such as pipelines, utility cables, bikeways and other non-motorized modes of transportation. Transportation corridors may also act as a potential barrier to recreational access to and along the coast, as well as to

other land uses afforded high priority under the Coastal Act. It is the intent of this Transportation Corridor Zone District to accommodate these priority uses within the transportation corridor wherever feasible.
