by the California Coastal Act of 1976. The purpose of the Coastal Zone is to provide a means of carrying out the policies of the Coastal Act and the city’s Local Coastal Land Use Plan. Within the Coastal Zone is an area which requires further, special consideration. The SPO Shoreline Protection Overlay District is a subdistrict of the Coastal Zone Overlay, immediately adjacent to the ocean where certain Coastal Act policies are particularly significant and require special review. This section of the Zoning Ordinance is also part of the Local Coastal Implementation Plan. (Ord. 94-33 § 54, 1994: Ord. 85-05 § 1 (part), 1985).

A coastal permit shall be required of all development in the Coastal Zone District in addition to other permits required by the. Zoning Ordinance or Municipal Code, except as herein excluded in exception provisions, Section 24.10.2520. The regulations of the Coastal Zone Overlay and Shoreline Protection Overlay apply in addition to underlying zones and their regulations.

(Ord. 85-05 § 1 (part), 1985).

Because not all development in the Coastal Zone has bearing on the purpose and goals of the Coastal Act, certain coastal development types and areas may be exempted from the requirements of a coastal permit. These exemptions and categorical and/or geographical exclusions shall be those set forth by the city council, and will go into effect after approval by the Coastal Commission. (Ord. 85-05 § 1 (part), 1985).
