Appendix D-- Coastal Enerp7 Impact Program PART I PREPARATIO-N"OF LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM COASTAL zoNE INFORMATION CENTER- INTRODUCTION ,Background: The Coastal Act and L-C;P The California Coastal Act of 1976 declares that "to achieve maxi- mum responsive ness to local,conditions, accountability, and public accessibility, it is necessary to-rely heavily on local goveinment and local.land use planning-procedures and enforcement"' in carrying-out the state's coastal objectives and policies (Section 30004). To this end,, the Act directs each local government lying wholly or pa;-tly within the coastal zone to prepare a Local Coastal Program (LCP) for its portion of 1 the coastal zone.. Au,LCP consists of "a local government-ts land use plans, zoning ordinances . zoning district maps, and [in designated sensitive coastal resource areas] implementing-actions which, when taken together, meet the requirements of , and implement the provisions and po-licies of I Clh- Coastal Act] at the local level.ft (Section 3010e.6) The land use plan, the heart- of the LCP,, is defined as-: the rel portions of'[email protected] general.plany or@local coastal element, which are sufficiently detailed to in- dicate the kinds, location, and intensit7,of land uses, the applic- able resource protection and development.policiesi, and, where neces- sary, a listing of implementing actions. (Section 30108-5) The components of the LCP are discussed more fully in.later chapters. As set forth in the Coastal Act, a local government may prepare and submit its-land'use plan and zoning documents at one time or in two stages; it may-submit its coastal plans in several geographic.subunits (based on Co ssion approval that the units can be evaluated separately); or it The detailed maps delineating the.coastal zone can be ordered directly from the printer: Addressograph Multigraph Corporation Graphics, 450 Mission, Street, San Francisco, California 94105, (415) 781-4353. A full set costs approximately $75-00 or individual maps about $2.00 each. Copies are available for review at the State and Regional.Coastal Commission offices and at the County Clerk of each coastal county. may, by July 1, 19779 request that the Coastal Commission prepare all or part of the LCP. Preparation of the LCP by the Coastal Commission, how- ever, does not exempt the local government from other requirements of the Coastal Act, including public hearings and formal submittal of the LCP for certification., After the LCPt or any geographic portion of it, has been certified by the Coastal Commission, the local government assumes responsibility for administering coastal development permits for that area of the coastal zone, except for developments proposed on submerged lands, tide lands, public trust lands, certain ports, and state universities or colleges. Permit authority -under Chapter 7 of the Coastal Act will then rest with the local jurisdiction, and developments within the coastal zone, including special district, state, and most federal actions, are to be allowed only if found to be in conformity with the certified LCF. The State Coastal Commission will only hear limited-appeals from such local permit decisions. P,urpose,olf the Manual The Coastal Act recognizes that conditions along the coast vary greatly and that each local government must, in consultation with the Coastal Commission, develop the LCP that best suits these local conditions. However, because of the great reliance placed on the LCP to carry out the state's coastal management program, the Coastal Act also specifically provides for guidance and review of the LCP process by the Coastal Commission. The Commission is to adopt procedures for the preparation, submission, approvalt certification and amendment of LCPs, including "a common methodol- ogy for the preparation of, and the determination of the scope of, the local coastal program ... (Section 30501) As of this date, the Coastal Commission accordingly has prepared two documents: (1) the Coastal Commission LCP Regulations, adopted May 17, 19779 which set out procedures and basic methodology for local govern- ment preparation of the LCP and procedures for the review and certification of the LCP by the Coastal Commission; and 1-2 (2).- this@manualj,.which.is a.,guide to as@sist,local. governments- in-preparing an LCP that meets the requirements-of the Coastal Act and the Commission's Regulations. The manual explains the local coastal planning process in a logical, sequential manner; expands 'upon the Coastal Act and the Regulations-as to the content of the LCP; explaIns the relationship of the local coastal planning, to other-state statutory requirements, such as the California Environmental Quality Act and the State Planning- and Zoning Laws, and to the activities of localt regional, state, and federal agencies; and explains potential funding sources available for local coastal planning assistance and grant procedures. This manual is directed primarily toward. assisting.local planning, departments, advisox7 and technical committeest governing bodies, and others-who will,actually be preparing-LCPs or who wish to participate in. local coastal planninge The manual should also assist special districts and..state and federal agencies inbecoming- effectively involved in,the intergovernmental effort necessary to carry-out the Coastal Act at the local level. The manual is intended to help local governments thathave large and complex-coastal jurisdictions, as well-as those with-fewer issues and smal3er areas. Thus the use of the manual and its guidelines should be tailored to-the specific needs of each coastal couat7 and city. Organization of the Manual This manual is divided into three parts: Part 1, Preparation of the Local Coastal.Program; Part II, Coastal Act Policies; a nd Part =, Funding Assistance. There is also an Appendix section which includes mailing lists of local, regional, state, and federal agencies and information about coastal acquisitions and restoration, Part I describes and explains the applicable provisions of the Coastal Act and the Commission's LCP Regulations, combined with information on other laws that directly relate to local coastal planning. This generalized discussion. should not, however, be read as a. substitute for 'U-.',.e srecific language of the applicable laws-.and regulations. Part I is organized sequentially, dividing the LCP preparation process into three phases: (1) issue identification and the work program; (2) the land use plan; and (3) zoning and implementing actions. The land use plan and zoning phases may'. according-to the Coastal Act, be combined. However, most of the guidance set forth in this manual for preparing the two portions of the LCP would be the same whether they are submitted together or separately. Most local governments will probably choose to submit the plan and zoning in two phases so that the preparation of the zoning will be based on an already approved land use plan. The chart below illustrates the general LCP submittal procedures. Issue Identi- Optional Land Use Zoning fication/Work Prelimin=7 Plan Districts & Certified Program Review (+final MR) Ordinances LCP May Be Ccmbined May Be Combined Part II of this manual sets forth all of the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, organized into 14.subject,groups. Under each policy group, there are explanatory notes, a checklist of factors to be included in the LCP, and a listing of relevant governmental agencies and sources of information. Part III of the manual describes the methods of funding available to assist local governments in preparing local coastal programs and the procedures for coastal planning grants. 1-4 CHAPTER 1: ISSUE IDENTIFICATION AND WORK PROGRAM The initial steps in preparing an LCP are to identify the coastal issues and to design a total work program that addresses those issues. All 1ocal governments preparing LCPs must do an "issue identification" pursuant to Sections 00020-00022 of the Commission's LCP Regulations. For local governments that seek funding assistance, a work program is also required to enable the Commission to authorize coastal planning grants. A. Identifying Coastal Issues In accordance with the Commission's LCP Regulations, the purpose of the issue identification is to: (1) determine the policies of the Coastal Act that apply in each jurisdiction; (2) determine the extent to which existing local plans are adequate to meet Coastal Act requirements; and (3) de- lineate any potential conflicts between existing plans and develop- ment proposals and the policies of the Coastal Act. (Section 00020) To carry out the issue identification, the local government is to: (1) review the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act to determine which are applicable and the extent of analysis needed; (2) identify poten- tial uses of more than local importance; and (3) identify potential con- flicts between coastal policies and existing, allowable, or proposed uses (Section 00021). A model format is suggested to assist local governments in preparing an issue identification that meets the requirements of the Regulations in an efficient and economical manner.. A uniform organization for presenting the issue identification will also facilitate review by the Commission and other interested persons. The model format consists of four parts: (1) An area-wide description of the existing conditions, potentially allowable uses in accordance with existing plans and zoning, and any major proposed public works projects or uses of more than local importance; (2) A policy group evaluation, discussing existing and potentially allowable uses as they relate to the Coastal Act policies; I-5 (3) A summary-checklist of applicability and consistency of local policies, plans, and zoning to the Coastal Act policy groups; and (4) A brief summary of key issues. Each of these four parts is explained and a model given in the following sections. 1. Area-wide Description To provide a basis for comparison with Coastal Act policies, the issue identification should begin with a brief narrative and, if possible, a map describing existing conditions in the coastal zone, together with a discussion of potentially allowable uses based on existing plans and zoning, and proposed major developments. Where a local government believes its existing plans and ordinances are adequate to comply with-Coastal Act policies, the evaluation should specifically delineate the "kinds, location and intensity of development currently allowable by local regula- tions.11 Where the jurisdiction envisions substantial revisions of its current regulations, the identification of potential conflicts can be based on a more general assessment. The following is a hypothetical example of such a narrative: The area of the coastal zone-from Pt. X to Pt. Y is predominantly built -up with residential development, with only a few vacant par- cels remaining. The frontage of the coastal highway is 2-3 story- apartments and condominiums at densities averaging 15 units per net acre, while the surrounding streets are single family units on lots of 5,000 and 6,000 sq. ft. The existing built-up developments are consistent with current general 171ans and zoning; the R-1 zone for the single family area requires minimum lots"Of 5,000 sq. ft., with a maximum of 50% building coverage of each lot and 2 story height limit; the R-2 zone allows 1 unit per 2,000 sq. ft. lot area and a maximum 3 story height limit. In the two block area near the intersection of Main Street and the coastal highway, current general plan and zoning would allow multi- family development (R,-2 zoning), while the area is predominantly developed with older single family units. 1-6 Along-the two-mile shoreline between Pt. X and Pt. Y, private homes stretch the length.of the bluff,..with..average'-setbacks of 25 feet; there are also a number of private stairways to the beach, about 20 feet below. The Cit7ts beachfront code requires a 25 foot setback from the bluff edge, but this may be waived up to a 10 foot under special conditions. Public access to the beach is Drovided at each.end of the two-mile stretch. At-Pt. Y there is a state beach, with parking for 40 cars and. restrooms. Immediately to the south of the state beach is a small cluster consisting of a motel.. restaurant, and gas.station., The one mile*stretch south of Pt.-Y along the coastal highway consists of strip commercial developments, mostly auto-oriented. This area is zoned for general commercial uses. There is currently no access from the highway to the beach along this strip. South of this commercial strip to,Pt. Z, a distance of a half mile and extending inlandabout a @alf mile, is an area zoned for light and heavy-manufacturing. Two parcels are vurrently used for petro- leum development,, with'._oil storage tanks and a transport-facility; other, parcels are vacant. A conditional use permit is required -for any industrial development. Local governments should use discretion in the degree of detai.1 in. such a narrative description, to avotd excessive length and to discuss on3,v the more relevant features of.the area. Obviously, in.large rural counties the nature of the@narrative will be more generalized, but it should include a comparison of lot patterns to existing development, ..For example, it might point@out-that approxLmately 100 homes are built ,in.the stretch of highway between two points, but that there are 300 parcels in that area, with lot sizes ranging.from * to 20 acres. It should also note whether the County codes allow more than one unit per lot under any circumstances. Where lot counts or other information is not readiZy available, this'should be indicated as an area needing fur- ther evaluation in the [email protected] 2. Polic7 Groun'Evaluation In.this section of the issue identification, exLsting, potentially allowable, and proposed uses should be compared to Coastal Act policies. The 14 Policy groups set forth in Part 11.of this manual should generally be a convenient way to address all of the Coastal Act policies. Me evaluation should discuss local policies, plans, and zoning that apply to 1-7 or may affect achievement of the Coastal Act policies. Any potential inconsistencies, omissions, or problems should be noted, even though. in the local government's judgment these may not need to be addressed in the LCP. The local government should also point out.where the Coastal Act policies as applied to local conditions appear to be in conflict. Using the hypothetical coastal area from Pt. X to Pt. Z, an illustra- tion of such evaluations for several policy groups is given below: A. Shoreline Access The two-mile oceanfront from Pt. X to Pt. Y is all.in private owner-' ship and is totally built up with single family homes on the bluff tops that preclude public access from the residential streets to the bluff and beach. Any attempt to provide vertical access points in this area would be extremely costly and is considered inappropriate. Nblic. access to the"beach tidelands is provided from each end of the two-mile stretch. (See map.) The small area of the beach above the i&h.t. line to the toe of the bluff, although privately owned aspart of the bluff-top lots, is not fenced off, and there may have been use leading to the establish- ment of public rights. This should be further researched by the Attorney General's office. The beach area south of Pt. Y is part of the state beach area. The commercial uses between the beach and the coastal highway along this one-mile stretch presently do not provide any additional vertical access. However, it is likely that the current lower-intensity commercial uses will gradually recycle, and well-planned accessways should be required as a condition of any such new development. A specific plan for this area is currently being-developed, and such provisions will be included in the LCP. Access also needs to be con- sidered in planning for the industrial area south to Pt. Z. B. Recreation and Visitor-Serving Facilities As noted in the area descriptiont there is a small visitor-serving complex located at Pt. Y. Further research is needed in the work program to determine the probable extent of future demand for ad-.. ditional commercial visitor-serving developments and to evaluate alternative and competing sites for such developments. If such uses are found to be appropriatet a portion of the frontage of the coastal highway south of Pt. Y would need to be set aside for such larger-than-local visitor-serving facilities, and existing plans and zoning changed to provide for this. In the specific plan, a range of uses and price range should be encouraged. Publicrecreatqionlis. provided by the state beach,one mile long by about lMfeet wide, served by the 40 car-parking lot. The State Department of Parks and Recreation does not plan-any ex- pansion, but the beach is crowded on peak days7 and-there are problemsof pardngoverfqlow on surrounding streets. Any oppor- tUnities for exnansion shoulde explored as part of the LCP. Locating and Planning New Develooment In this area there may be conflict in applying.several different Coastal Act policies. Ch one hand, it seems appropriate to locate newdevelopment within existing deneloped areas, such as this7 and to intensify development so as to enable more efficlent public transit op current plan- . portunities. In these respects7 the City's ning and zoning that allow higher density recycling of older single- family units. in the two blocks adjoining Main Street- and the coastal highway appear consistent and desirable.. (improved transit service to this area.is currently being studied by the Transit District.) The area also already has adequate sewer,water and other public services available. On the other hand, traffic on the coastal high- way is currently congested during peak times, and increased residen- tial densities could incrementally aggravate this problem. (See Policy Group M discussion.) The development in this area could also affect low and moderate income housing opportunities. (see Policy group c.) If the increased density is considered appropriate in this area, adequate on-site recreation should be provided as called for by the Coastal A&, policy- 30252(6). The objective of providing recre- ation. in conjunction with residential development is also called for In several City General Plan elements. (Housing Element policy 8, Recreation Element.policy 42.) The R-2 and R-3 zoning on this area calls for a minmum of 25% of the site- in. usable open space/recrea- tion, not counting parking lots, etc., but including apartment decks or patios. This is considered adequate to meet the coastal. policy. M. Public Works Sewer, water, and other public services to this area are adequate and can accommodate new development without-facility expansion. Water supply is provided by the Municipal Water District, serving the larger metropolitan area with water primarily from the Colorado River. Sewer service is by the Metropolitan Wastewater District, also serving the metropolitan region, with tertiary treatment at the plant located at Bay City. According to the district, current capacity Of the plant is adequate for projected metropolitan growth for the next 10 to 20 years. I-9 The residential road system is adequate, but the coastal highway experiences peak period congestion. The'highway is four-lanes throughout this area, with turn pockets and divider median in the stretch from Pt. X to Pt. Y, and with a marked turning lane and no divider in.the stretch south of Pt. Y. As part of the LCP work programp the City and the State Department of Transportation should explore road design improvements that could alleviate congestion and traffic hazards. Present and projected traffic loads and resulting levels of service for both weekday and weekend peak periods should also be determined. Sources of traffic generation should be evaluated in the LCP to be consistent with Coastal.Act Policy 30254. If-adequate bus service can be provided to the corner of Main Street, this should help reduce existing traffic and possibly enable higher density residential development consistent with Coastal 'Act policies. Further review of the feasibility of transit should be a part of the LCP work program. Increased recreational or commercial developments south of Pt. Y could also increase traffic, but if such uses are .-. coastal-dependent or recreation-serving, this would appear to be con- sistent with ddastal policies. N. Industrial and Energy Facilities In the industrial area south to Pt. Z, Major Oil Company may request 0 an expansion of its site for added oil storage and other facilities to support offshore oil production that may develop over the next five years. Uses of other parcels are uncertain. Some interest has been expressed by a steel mill and an electronics firm. The heavy industrial uses, such as oil facilities or steel mill, Would require a conditional use permit from the City in accordance with local policies and codes that require consideration of many of the same environmental concerns as the Coastal Act (i.e. air and water quality, noise, traffic, v1sual qualities-see page 100 of the zoning ordinance). Ho@@.iever, local policies do not currently provide any special consideration of oil facilities as a coastal-dependent use, under Section 30260 of the Coastal Act, or as a use of larger-than- local importance, nor do they address the possibility of consolidation of these and other oil and gas facilities. The LCP work program needs to address these issues. It may be necessary, for example, to change the zoning of some portion of this industrial area to require exclusive use for coastal-dependent industries rather than to allow general industrial uses. 3- Policy Group Checklist Based on the above policy group evaluations, the policy group check- 0 list is an abbreviated summary form to indicate which policies are applicable, I-10 whether local policies, -plans, and zoning are adequate and consistent, and other. items needing, action, This form, in turn, should be useful, in preparing the LCF work program. A draft chart for this checklist is attached, listing-the I"' policy groups-in brief. The full text of all policies, set forth Part III of this manual, should be referred to in preparing the issue identifica- tion. The first column in the chart should be checked if the policy does not need to be or cannot addressed in the local coastal program., Such judgments-should be,explained in the "remarks" column or in the above narratives. The second., third, fourth and fifth-columns should be used to assess the relationship of the Coastal Act policy groups to: (1) existing local. conditions, i.e. existing lot patterns or developments; (2) existing local policies, i.a. in General Plan elements or other- policy- documents; (3) existing-land use designations-, i.e. in land use maps or community -or- specific plans;. and (4) existing zoning ordinances and districts. A "+" should be placed in the appropriate column where existing conditions, policies, land use plans, and/or zoning are both consistent and adequate to comply with the Coastal Act policies. Where local documents do not address some:or all.aspects of the policies, or where further research is needed to determine consistency$ a "Olt should be marked. Where there is a possible inconsistency or conflict, a "-" should.be entered. All entries should be explained in the policy group discussions above and/or the remarks column. References should be given to the local policies, plans, or zoning codes that apply. The sixth column should be checked if other types of action appear necessary. For example, in the hypothetical community of Pt. X to Pt. Y, this would be used to indicate the need to coordinate with State Department I-11 Policy Groups Not Exist.

Summary of Key Issues The final section of the issue identification should focus on the key coastal problems and on important policy interpretations needed to prepare an LCP that conforms to the Coastal Act. This should be as bri6f and to- the-point as possible. It could be simply a listing of the policy groups that are most critical,, or it could be in the form of questions that need resolving. Again using the Pt. X to Pt. Y community example, key issues might be summarized as follows: 1. In the area from Pt. X to Pt. Y, the only key issue is whether the advantages of increasing-density at the Main Street inter- section outweigh any small traffic increases on the coastal highway. Bus service needs to be resolved. 2. In the area from Pt. Y south, the work program needs to address visitor-serving facilities, provision of accessways, improve- ment of view corridors and design standards. The key issue will be determining the extent and type of visitor-serving facilities appropriate to the area. 3. In the industrial areaj@,the key issue is identifying the need and making appropriate provisions for coastal-dependent indus- trial development. The issue identification is to be prepared "in consultation with the appropriate regional commission and the commission and with opportunity for full public participation." (Section 00021 of the LCP Regulations) There are three ways the issue identification may-be submitted for review by the Regional and State Commissions: (1) in conjunction with a work pr ogram; (2) as a separate step at least 75 days.in advance of formal local action on the LCP; or (3) as part of a preliminary informal review of plans. 1-14 Local.governments submitting existing plans-as the LCP may choose to use either (2) or (3) above for submitting their issue identification, and may also choose to combine the issue identification with the "common methodology" analysis (Section 0004O of the LCP Regulations). in either of these cases, the Regional and state Commissions will.hold hearings that will provide an opportunity-for,public comment, in addition to whatever opportunities have-already been provided at the local level. Testimony at these hearings and the resulting-Commissions comments, will be passed on to the local government before its final action on the LCP. For-local governments intending-to submit work programs, the issue identification should.be distributed to interested-persons and agencies, including the Commission staff, for review andcomment before finali work program proposals for submittal to the Commissions. This advance review will assist local governments in preparing-work-programs that fully address the issues-and will avoid long delays in the Commissions' review of work programs. In all cases, consultation between the 'Local government and the Commission staff at this stage will be especially important. The Commission staff should be able to assist in advising-the local government as to which coastal Act policies apply, how the Commissions are apt to interpret those policies, and the extent of conflict the Commissions are likely to perceive as the policy applies to the particular area. B. Designing the total Work Program Once the coastal planning issues have been identified, the local government will need to design its total work program to resolve those issues (assuming that funding assistance is being sought). The develop- ment of the total.work program wi11 enable the local government and the Coastal Commission to arrive at an agreement on the extent of analysis and work that appears to be needed for preparing the LCP and to allocate avai.lable funding accordingly. According to the Commission's LCP Regulations., the total work pro- gram shall include:, 1-15 (1) an identification of coastal planning issues, [as discussed above]; (2) an outline of the methodology proposed to address the,planning- issuesq pursuant to Section 00040; (3) a description of the major tasks required to bring local plans, zoning, andl:if requiredl.other implementing actions into con- formity with the Coastal Act policies and to assemble sufficient information for a thorough and complete review of such plans; (4) the methods proposed for involving the public and affected agencies and districts in the LCP preparation; (5) a time line indicating approximate dates of completion for major work items, and the schedule, pursuant to Section 00031, proposed for submitting local coastal program documents to the regional commission and*commission; and (6) an estimated budLyet for the local coastal program work items. (Section 00023(bl), Unless the local government specifically proposes and receives Commission approval to use an alternative methodology, the "cormnon methodology"-will be used, and this methodology will be the basis for determining what tasks are required to bring local plans into conformity with the Act and what additional information may be needed. Thus in most cases, items (2) and (3) above will.be combined. If the local government proposes an-i-alternative methodology, item (2) would be used to explain the proposal, how and why it differs from the common methodology, and how it addresses the policy requirements of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act (Section 00040.5 of the LCP Regulations). 1. Describing MaJor Tasks In designing the total work program7 overall categories of work will first be identified. Generally these will be: I. The Land Use Plan; and II. Zoning Ordinances and District Maps. Where the local government anticipates substantial work on the land use plan, the total work program should focus principally on that stage. Definition of the tasks for the zoning stage would come later, as the total work program is revised for subsequent annual grants. 1-16 Where the local govemment wishes to prepare the LCP in.separate geographic un:Ltsl major categories should be established for-ea.ch of the units. In some cases, certain aspects of the planning may be handled juri.sdiction-wide, while the more extensive land use planning is done in separate units. Thus-, major categories Ight be: I. Jurisdiction- wide Portions of Land Use Plan; IT', Land Use Plan for Unit A; 131.. Land Use Plan for Unit B; TV*, Jurisdiction-wide Changes,in Zonin&Ordinances;, V.@ Zoning for Uhit,%A;@and,-VI. Zoning for Unit B. it may be more efficient to group allplanning activities under each geographic unit, with any review of jurisdiction-wide implications, if needed, at the end, such as: 1. Land Use Plan and Zoning for Unit A; II. Land Use Plan and Zoning for Unit B; III. Review of Jurisdiction-wide Plans and Zoning for Conformity-, Within the IvIand use plan" category-, subcategories will be established for the major,components of the work. There is a great deal of flexibility in designing the subcategories, depending on local circumstances as to the most efficient, logical approach. Cne way would be to follow the sequence in the ca on methodology; another would.be to organize tasks around the applicable policy groups,, combining or-overlaying the results near the end,-. another would be to use subcategories based on the work needed for. each of various- exLsting plan documents. Some ex2mples of different approaches are discussed below, but a local government should feel free to revise these or to ime a different subcategory system to best suit its needs, providing the approach meets the methodology and policy requirements of the Coastal Act and the Commission's regulations-. a. Common Methodology Sequence In some cases it, may be desirable and convenient to follow the common methodology as a sequence of steps-. rh such cases, the local government would outline the work program in that sequence. The first subcategory of work would be to analyze existing and proposed public works systems, identify key decision-points, and allocate the available capacities to new development based.on applicable Coastal Act policies. Major work- items within.the subcategory would be spelled out: c@ollecting data on 1-17 sewage and water system capacities; collecting data on road. capa.c'ities [email protected] service; working with various agencies and districts iden- tifying expansion plans and:impacts; etc. The second subcategory would be.to distribute the resulting types and levels of development geographically, using the specific coastal resource, hazard area, coastal access, and use priority policies. Again specific tasks within the su bcategory-would be itemized, such as studies ,for each of the applicable coastal resource policy groups (e.g. agricul- tura, habitat areas., marine resources); determination of appropriate locations.for -expanding access and for access dedication requirements; evaluation of public and commercial recreation potential for suitable areas; etc. The third:subcategory-would be to develop new plans or revise existing plans, zoning., etc., to reflect the level and pattern of development arrived at through this process. One major task would be to draw up a land use plan map, with specific designations-f=all of the areas resulting from steps-,one and two.' Another task might be to revise policy language in various existing General Plan elements to reflect the land use decisions and Coastal Act policies. An alternative might be a separate policy document for the coastal zone, taking-pre- cedence over any other jurisdiction-wide plans. At thiastage, the local.government would probably only deal with tasks needed for the land use plan, simply indicating that zoning changes to carry-out the land use plan would follow after the land use plan has been developed. b., Policy Group Subcategories In this approach the local government would, following the issue identification format7 outline the tasks in subcategories by policy groups-. Any conflicts or inadequacies that were noted during the issue identification would be addre ssed subject by subject. Since public works are listed as one policy group, this approach is actually not that different from the sequence discussed abovel except that geographic- ally specific concerns would tend to be resolved first, and the resulting "developable areas" would.then be tested against public service policies'. All of the analyses required in.the common methodology" would still. be covered but would not be in the same sequential order. In,listing tasks within each subcategory,, it would be desirable to include all tasks needed to-resolve that area of concern: e.g., collecting data,, evaluating data and alternatives, determining-the land use-policies and designations; and making-the appropriate changes or provisions in local plans to effectuate the decision. Afinal sub-- category:might, be needed to-put all,of the pieces together in one "land use plan proposal. c. Plan Document Subcategories Another-possible approach for organizing the subcategories of work within-the work program is to group all tasks to specific revisions or additions to local planning-documents. In this system, within the cat- egory of the land use plan,, subcategories might be: A. The Land -Use Element; B. The Housing Element; C. The Circulation Element; Do The Environmental Management Element; E. The North Sector Community Plan; F. The South Sector-Community Plan; etc. An additional subcate- gory-would probably be needed to prepare a separate report that would accompany the components-of the land use plan,, explaining-how and where the common methodology and Coastal Act policies are addresse d. 2. Public Involvement, Schedule and Budget In addition to outlining the methodology to be used aid the major tasks needed to prepare the LCP, the work program must also include,,-. measures proposed for-involving the public-and affected agencies; a schedule for completion of work; and an estimated budget. Appropriate forms, instructions, and explanations are all provided in-Part III of this manual. The provisions for public and agency participation may be included. as one or two separate subcategories of the work, or they may be in- corporated as needed in each of the other subcategories. At a minimum, the work program must provide for notice, distribution of copies, etc., 1-19 in-accordance with the Commission's LCP Regulations, Section 00050. In addition, other measures should be provided to assure maximum opportunities for public participation and for involvement of public agencies, special districts, etc., at key points during the LCP development. The discussion of public participation and agency involvement in Chapter -2 of this part of the manual should assist in designing this aspect of the work program. In drawing up the schedule, the local government should realis- tically estimate when the LCP, or various stages or portions of it, will be ready to submit to the Regional Commission, taking into account local hearing and adoption procedures (see Chapter 21 Section F). The schedule will indicate whether the jurisdiction wishes to submit the LCP in separate geographic units-and whether the land use plan and zoning will be submitted in two stages or at one-time. This information will assist the Regional and State Commissions in establishing tentative schedules for their review of LCP's pursuant to Section 00031 of the LCP Regulations* Commission keview of the Work Program The local government will submit its proposed work programl together with the issue identification, to the-Regional and State Commission. As an "action" pertaining to the LCPI the submittal of the work program must be noticed to interested persons and agencies and copies sent to those who have so requested, pursuant to Section 00050 of the LCP Regulations. This should be done at the time of the submittalt either by the Regional Commi-c- sion or the local government based on mutual agreement. The Regional Commission, after its public hearing, will send recommenda- tions to the local government and to the State Commission. The State Commis- sion will then hold its hearing and will normally act on the proposed work program within 60 days of its submittal (Section 00023(c) of LCP Regulations). The regulations also specify that: The commission shall approve the work program and authorize the grant for disbursement of state or federal funds to the local govern- ment where it finds, after public hearing, that: (1) the scope of tasks outlined appears to address adequately the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal:@ct, including uses of'more than local i=ortance and potential cumulative-impacts or conflicts*with other jurisdictions; (2) the costs of undertaking such tasks are reasonably-related to the amount of work.needed to resolve coastal planning issues; (3) tasks to be contracted for under such grants are not already required under other. statutes or more appropriately undertaken by other agencies; and (4) the work program includes measures for involving the public and other agencies adequate to comply with the Coastal Act and with the recuirements of the funding-authority. (Section 00023(d)). The work programs will be used to support California's application for- federal funds available under the Federal Coastal.Zone Management Act and will be the basis for grant contracts. The actual -ant contract will be 'ice of Planning and entered into between the local government and th&Off Research (OPR), acting as the Commission's agent. If further work is later determined to be needed, the-work Drogramwould [email protected] and the- grant contract re-vised.accordingly.. local governments and the Coastal Commission In determining funding, will need to work together to determine the priority-of tasks and to keep the total work and budget within the avail-able funding, The Coastal Com- mizsion, other-state agencies, or other groups may be able to undertake some tasks or to Drovide assistance. Should available federal grant monies prove insufficient to complete the necessary work,.the Comm-Ission's review of the work program could also be one of the factors in determining a local. jurisdiction's potential.eligibility for reimbursement of coastal planning tasks under SB 90. (See Part =1 for additional- discussion of funding and grant contracts.) CHAPTER 2: LAND Of PLAN In the second phase, local governments should address the coastal planning issues identified in the work program and prepare any amend- ments or'modifications to existing plans, or new elements, to constitute the coastal land use plan. The land use, plant once certified by the Coastal COMMX* ssion, is the basis upon- which zoning will be developed bY local governments and approved as to adequacy by the Coastal Com- mission. (see Chapter 3)- During preparation of the land 'use plan, local governments should coordinate planning with affected local, regional, state7 and federal agencies, provide for citizen participation, and prepare enTironmental documentsin accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act.. The steps that a local government must include in the land use plan preparation are discussed in the following sections. - ----------- A. Preparing the Land Use Plan The land use plan is defined in Section 3010.8.5 of the Coastal Act as follows: 'Land use plan means the relevant portions of a local government's general plan, or local coastal element,.which.are sufficiently detailed to indicate the kinds, locations, and intensity of land uses, the applicable resource protection and development policies and, where necessary, a listing of inplementing actions. Developing-a land use plan consists primarily of preparing any re- visions, additions, or new elements to the local general plan as needed to bring-it into conformity with the Coastal Act. In doing this, each local government will need to: (1) determine which options for pre- paringand submitting the plan are most appropriate to the particular local circumstances; (2) make Use of relevant portions of existing plans and planning law authority to achieve Coastal Act objectives; and (3) under- take analyses and revisions as necessaryto resolve coastal issues. L-22 1. Options for the land Use Plan The Coastal Act provides two bas ic options for preparing the land use plan. One option is provided by the definition of the land use plan as either "'. .,.the relevant portions@of a local govemment's general plan or local coastal element . . . 11 A coastal element is de- fined in Section 30108-55 of the Coastal Act as: that portion of a general plan applicable to the coastal zone which may be prepared by local governments pursuant to this division, or such additional elements of the local government's general plan pre- pared pursuant to Subdivision (k) of Section 65303 of the Government Code. A local government could also'u.9e a combination of existing plan elements (with amendments as necessary) together with a coastal element. This could avoid duplication in the coastal element of detailed provisions already contained in other plans, such as seismic safety,, circulation, etc. Another basic option is provided in Section 30511(a) of the Coastal Act: preparing aid submitting the land use plan in.separate geographic units. A land use plan for separate geographic units could also make use of existing plan elements or community plans, or a separate coastal element, in whatever combination meets the requirements of the Coastal Act with the least amount of duplication. For a local government to exercise the geo- graphic units option, the Commission must find that each area proposed for separate review can be analyzed for the potential cumulative impacts of development on coastal resources and access independently of the re- mainder of the coastal zone within the jurisdiction. The approval of this option by the State Coastal Commission would need to be obtained before a formal submittal for certification, usually at the time the issue identifi- cation or work program is reviewed. The choice of these options is at the discretion of the local govern- ment and will obviously depend a great deal on the nature of existing plan documents and an assessment of the advantages of each method for incorporating needed revisions. 2. Relationship to State Planning Laws- According to-the CO mmission's LCP Regulations, Section 00040(d)(1): The land use plan component of a local.coastal- program-shall in- corporate a, statement: of applicable development and. resource pro- tection policies ... including as may be appropriate in. each jurisdiction the mandatory or optional elements of a general plan as provided in Government Code Sections 65304l-65303 and 65560-65567, that:are capable of carrying out the policies of Chapter 3 of the California coastal Act of 1976. Sections-65300 et-seq.-of the Government Code require that.every city and county prepare and adopt-a comprehensive lonG-term general plan for the physical development ofthe jurisdiction and its environs. The general.plan consists of nine mandated elements and may also include optional elements (Section 65303). The general plan may be adopted in separate elements or at one time, for all or-part of the (Section 65301). Existing-local general plans that have fully addressed these State planning law requirements may already deal-with many of the issues in the coastal policies Nearly all of the mandatory element s of the gen- eral plan, for example, relate to coastal issues. .The land-use element: designates the proposed general distribution and general location and extent of uses of the land for housing, business, industry, open space, including agriculture, natural resources,, recreation, and enjoyment of scenic beauty, education, public buildings and grounds, solid and liquid waste disposal facilities,, and other categories of public and private uses of land.- The land-lase ele- ment shal1 include a statement of the standards of population den- sity and building-intensity recommended for the various districts and other territory covered by the plan. The land-use element shall also identify areas covered by the plan which are subject to flooding and shall be reviewed annually with respect to such areas, (Section 65302(a) of the Government Code) The circulation element establishes the general,location and extent of existing end proposed transportation systems, correlated with the land use element., The circulation element may also include "recommendations concerning parking facilities and building setback lines. (Section 1-24 65303(b) of the Government Code). The mandated scenic highway element should also be pertinent to coastal planning. .The housing-element is required to provide for adequate sites for housing, including all economic segments of the community. The Coastal Act specifically requires that new housing in the coastal zone be in conformity with the local housing element. .The conservation element covers "the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources including water forests, soils, rivers and other waters, harbors, fisheriesq wildlife, minerals, and other natural resources" (Section 65302(d)). It may also include such concerns as flood control, water pollution, protection of stream channels, erosion, and watershed regulation. .Similarly, the open space element addresses many coastal issues, incl-ading recreation, water and marine resources, environmentally sen- sitive areas, forestry and soil resources, hazard areas, and visual re- sources. These are covered under a broad definition of open space uses as follows: 1. Open space for the preservation of natural resources including... plant and animal life... ; areas required for ecological and other scientific study purposes; riversp streams, bays and es- tuaries; and coastal beaches, lakeshores, banks of rivers and streams, and watershed lands. 2. Open space used for the managed production of resources, including-...forest lands, rangelands, agricultural lands... areas required for recharge of ground water basins; bays, estuaries, marshes, rivers and streams which are important for the management of commercial fisheries; and areas contain- ing major mineral deposits.... 3- Open spaces for outdoor recreation, including ... areas of standing scenic, historic and cultural value; areas particularly suited for park and recreation purposes,including access to lake- shores, beachesi rivers and streams, and areas which serve as links between major recreation and open spaces reservations, including utility easements, banks of rivers and streams, trails? and scenic higiway corridors. 4. Open space for public health and safety, including., earth- quake fault zones, unstable soil areas, flood plains, watersheds, areas presenting high:: fire risks areas required for the pro- tection of water reservoirs sad areas required for-the protec- tion and enhancement of air quality. (Section 65560 of the Government Code.) The seismic safety element identifies seismic hazards and also mud- slides, landslides,. and slope stability as related geologic hazards, while-the safety element covers fires andgeologiqc hazard-mapping in. areas of known geologic hazards. Many of the optional elements designated in the general plan law also are appropriate for addressing coastal concerns-. For example, these may include: (1) A recreation element, showing "a comprehensive system of areas and public sites for,recreation, including. natural reservations, parks, parkways, and beaches... (2) A transit element showing a proposed system of transit lines and related facilities. (3) A public services and facilities element planning for sewerage, refuse disposal, drainage, and local utilities. (4) A community desigqn element consisting of "'standards and prin- ciples governing the subdivision of land, and. recommended designs-for community and neighborhood development and redevelop- ment. (5) An historical preservation element, identifying and protecting sites and structures of architectural, historical, archeological, or cultural significance. As a local government makes use of these existing plan elements to meet Coastal Act concerns, it may find it necessary to make revisions or additions. Such amendments may be adopted to apply only to the area within the coastal zone or may be done jurisdiction-wide. Conformity with Coastal Act policies is required only within the coastal zone. However, Section 30200 of the Coastal Act requires that: All public agencies carrying out or supporting activities outside the coastal zone that could have a direct impact on resources @ within the coastal zone shall consider the effect of such actions on coastal zone resources in order to asmwe that these policies are achieved. In addition, state planning-law Section 65300.5 requires that the gene- ral plan consist of an integrated, internally ccnsistent and compatible statement of policies for the jurisdiction. Therefore if plans are- developed or changed only for the coastal zone area, the local govern- ment should make sure that these coastal plans and policies are consis- tent, or should make any necessary revisions to eliminate any inconsis- ten6ies, with jurisdiction-wide plans. 3. "Common Methodology" Analysis for Addressing Issues The discussions above indicate the framework or plan components that can make up-the coastal land use plan. However, they do not in- dicate the substance - the standard the land use plan must conform to. This standard is defined in.both the Coastal Act and the ComLission's LCP Regulations. In.the Coastal Act, the'relevant guidance is that the land use plan must be "sufficiently detailed to indicate the kinds, locations, and intensity of land uses, [and] the applicable resource, protection and development policies," and that the LCP must "meet the requirements of, and implement the provisions and policies of, [the Coastal Act] at the local level." (Sections 30108.5 and 30108.6) In the LCP Regulations, a "common methodology"@is spelled out for meeting these provisions. Based on the issue identification and work program, discussed in Chapter 1 abovev the local govexnment is to use this methodology to address and resolve the issues, unless an alterna- tive methodology is approved by the Commission. The methodology specifies that the scope of the LCP include the following evaluations: (a) Where the application of the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act of 1976 require limits or conditions as the the amount, timing, or location of public works fa ities, an analysis shall be made to determine: (1) existing and proposed capacities of such-relevant public-works systems; (2) key-decision points for stages of facility expansion; and (3) what portion of public works facilities capacity is allocated to new development within the area and what Portion is reserved for the priority uses as required by Public Resources Code, Section.. 30254. A similar analysis and allocation -shall be made of public recreational facilities to comply with 'Public Resources Code,.Section'30252(4). -b, 'er The policies of Chapt -3 of the California Coastal Act of 1976 that apply to specific coastal resources , hazar&areas, ...coastal access concerns, and use priorities, including consider- -ation: of public access and recommended uses of more tham local importance, relating to the area governed by the local coastal program shall.be applied to determine the kind, location and in tensity of land and water uses that would be in. conformity with the policies of the Act. This-determination shall include an analysis of the potential significant adverse cumulative impacts on coastal resources and access of existing.and potentially allowable development proposed in the local coastal program. c.. If the leve1and pattern of development recommended for-the local coastal program require the phasing of public service or recreational facilities to:be consistent with the requirements of the California Coastal Act of 1976, the proposed measures for implementing public service-and recreattonal facilities shaU,be specifically identified. d. The level and.pattern of@development selected by the local 9UV shallbe reflected in a land use plan [and] zon3ng...,.. @Section 00040)-, 'The common methodology requirements of the LCP Regulations-apply whether,or not the local government finds it necessary to make substan- tialrevisions in existing plans. If existing plans are to be submitted as the LCF, a separate analysis of how the plans meet-these requirements must be included with.the submittal. If:revisions-and additions to plans:.or new coastal plans are being developed as the land use plan, these analyses may be.an integral part of the-planning work. In either case, within.the plan.components of the land use' plan or in a separate accompany- ing analysis, the local government must specifically evaluate its plan proposals, including potential cumulative.effects, for conformity with Coastal Act policies.. 1-28 Because the land use plan is the basis on which zoning and other implementing actions must be judged, the land use plan must be detailed enough to make this analysis, e.g. to determine allowable build-out, types of permitted uses, etc - Policies and precise designations of land uses that carry out.the intent and effect of the Act as applied to local conditions will.be essential. Such policies and land use designations should be set forth in maps, diagrams, and text, including objectives, principles, standards and plan proposals. The guidelines in Part-II of this manual should be used, where applicable, as a checklist to make sure the preparation of the land use plan is based on "materials suf- ficient for a thorough and complete review" pursuant to Section 30510(b) of the Coastal Act. 4. Public Access and Uses of More Than Local Importance Two aspects of the common methodology - provisions for public access and for uses of more than local importance - are further elaborated in both the Coastal Act and the LCP Regulations. These' are discussed below. a. Public Access Component A public access component is required by Section 30500(a) of the Coastal Act "to assure that maximum public access to the coast and public-recrea- tion areas is provided." According to Section 00042 of the LCP Regulations: The public access component of a local coastal program ... may be set forth in a separate*plan element or it may be comprised of various plan components that are joined together in.a.text accompanying the sub- mission of the local coastal program. The public access component shall set forth in detail the kinds and intensity of uses, the reser- vation of public service capacities for recreation purposes where re- quired pursuant to Public Resources Code *Section 30254, and specific geographic areas proposed for direct physical access to coastal water areas as required by Public Resources Code, Sections 30210-30224 and 30604(c). With the exception of the reference to Section 30604(c), this pro- vi'sio'n will-be Met by 6howing-how the relevant policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act (more specifically Groups A, Bj C, and M in Part II of this Manual) have been met, including specific designations of land uses and access areas. Section 30604(c) requires that a coastal permit 1-29 for any development between the nearest public road and the shoreline ,include afinding of conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3. The policy-guidance is thus the same, but the- LCF(most likely the zoning portion) must provide for this finding to- be- made as part of'the local permitting process. b-. Uses of @bre Than Local Importance ..M6`con'sideiation of uses of more-than loc6l.importance, pursuant to Section 30501(c) of the Coastal Act, is also met primarily by addres- sing various policies throughout Chapter 3 of the Act. As noted in the LCP Regulations, such uses generally include: (1). state and federal parks and recreation, areas and other recrea- tional facilities of regi@onal or statewide significance; (2) mili- tary'and.national defease-installations; (3) major energy facili- ties; (4) state and federal highways and other transportation facilities (e.g. railroads and airports) or public works facilities (eg. water-supply or sewer systems) serving-larger-than local needs; (5) general cargo ports and commercial fishing facilities; (6) state:colleges and-universities; and.(7) uses of larger-than- local importance,, suchas coastal agriculture, fisheries, wildlife habitats -or uses that mayimize public access to the coast. (Section'00041) Lands that are-- under@sole federal control are excluded from the coastal.zone, andplains for-state colleges and universities and for Cali ornia's major-cargo ports do not come under local government jurisdiction; such plans-and activities should, however, be considered for impacts orneeds generated on surrounding areas and should be in- corporated for information in LCPs as part of intergover=ental coordina- tion requirements of the Act-(discussed later in this chapter). Most of the other uses noted above are covered,by Coastal act policies, and the need to address specific uses as part of the land use plan will have been identified in the work program stage. Coastal-dependent industrial and energy facilities, however, are treated somewhat differentlyin the Coastal Act,. and therefore may r&- quire some special consideration in the preparation of the land use plan. The Legislature- specifically recognized the statewide and nation- wide importance of certain major facilities in finding that: 1-30 notwithstanding the fact electrical generating facilities, refine- ries, and coastal-dependent developments, including ports and commercial fishing facilities, offshore petroleum and gas develop- ment,and liquefied natural gas facilities, may have significant adverse effects on coastal resources or coastal access, it may be necessary to locate such developments in the coastal zone in order to ensure that inland as well as coastal resources are preserved and that orderly economic development proceeds within the state. (Section 30001.2) If such facilities cannot be accommodated through expansion of existing appropriate sites and in a manner consistent with other policies of the Coastal Act, they may nonetheless be permitted if, according to Section 30260 of the Act: (1) alternative locations are infeasible or more environmentally damaging; (2 to do otherwise would.adversely affect the public wel- fare; and M adverse environmental effects are mitigated to the maximum extent feasible. Therefore a coastal dependent industrial facility such as a marine oil terminal or fish processing plant can be permitted if it contributes to the public welfare and is in the least environmentally damaging feasible location. Other specific.Coastal Act policies apply to oil tanker facilities, LNG terminalst oil and gas development, refineries and petro- chemical facilities, and power plants. (See Part II, Policy Group N of this manual.) After certification of the LCP, although any action taken by a local government on a coastal development permit application for a. major energy facility may be appealed to the Coastal Commission, the standard of review is the certified LCP (Section 30603)- Any person proposing an energy facility development not provided for in-the LCP may request a local government to amend its certified LCP, and may raise such a request to the Commission. However, an entity proposing such an amendment must demonstrate that the purpose of the proposed amendment is to meet public needs of an area greater than that covered by the LCP and that the development was not anticipated during program certification (Section 30515). 1-31 Because of'these provisions,.. companies anticipating the need for new coastal dependent industrial facilities, including-energy facilities, in the:coastal zone should work@with local governments and the Coastal Commission to have these needs ref"7ected in the LCP. Because the need for-such facilities, their-impacts, and alternatlve-sltes are often of larger-than-local scope,.the Commission and potential users-of such. facilities-will need.to take the major responsibility for-coordinating LCPs and part plans@to eni6rathat adequate, but not excessive, .areas are identified and- reserved for coastal dependent industrial facilities, .,The three primary- ways &locil government can designate areas in.its coastal zone where energy facilities and other industrial uses may be located are: (1).direct designations of areas and.of specific energy .or-coasta3.-dependent.industriaI facilities considered appropriate; (2) desigaationaof areas where industrial facilities would be condition- ally permitted, with specific'criteria.for evaluating the proposed develop- ment; and (3) "overlay"-designations of areas considered potentially acceptable and needing to be reserved to meet future needabut.where a LCP amendment would be required to review-more specific proposals at a later time., Direct designations of areas -for energy facilities would be most approp- riate for areas at or near-emisting facilities where reasonable empansion of such uses would be compatible with surrounding coastal zone uses and where'fairly precise proposals for@facilities are anticipated during the I;CP preparation. The LCP should contain specific delineation of tha types of facilities that would be permitted, means.of preventing or miti- gating adverse impacts, and.desigaation of compatible.uses in-the vicinity. The designatIon of energ7 facilities or other industrial facilities uses provides somewhat more flexibility for an area where surrounding uses can be well defined and where such facilities would likely be appropriate, but where development plans are not yet precise enough to evaluate for-conformity to coastal development and conservation con- cerns In this case, the LCP should spell out the criteria. or standards7 consistent with-Coastal Act policies, by which later specific proposals would be judged. The local government would have a g .reat deal of 1-32 discretion in approving, modifying, or rejecting later development proposals, and the local decision could also be appealed to the Commission on the same discretionary grounds. The "overlayMor "option overlay"'designation can be used in two ways. Cn the one hand new areas can be identified as potentially approp- riate for energy or coastal dependent facility amendment requests in the future. In the meantime such areas would be in reserve, with other uses allowed on or near the site only if they would be compatible with the po- tential future energy or industrial development. For example, long-term uses that would foreclose future options, such as a residential develop- ment, would,not be permitted near a future oil processing facility or sewage treatment plant. A mobile home or vehicle camping park mightl how- ever, be permitted subject to later removal when the industrial facilities are needed. Cn the other hand an "option overlay" may be placed over existing areas used for energy or other industrial facilities (e.g. oil fields, oil and gas processing facilities) to designate permitted future uses once the current industrial uses are phased out. Such overlays would indicate which existing industrial areas are inappropriate for continued use or expansion. The use of the "option overlay"-can ensure-that alternative locations, for an energy facility-and the public welfare aspects of any proposed development are first reviewed by both the local government and the Coastal Commission through the LCP amendment process. At the same time it will help signal to energy companies the most appropriate areas in which to seek-amendments* 1-33 Intergovernmental Coordination In preparing- the land. use plan, local governments are responsible for providing-maximum opportunities for involving all local,. regional, state, and federal agencies having an interest in, the-planning area. Integrating the policies and proposals of various agencies and resol- ving-conflicts, will require this-cooperation. At the same-time, public agencies have an obligation to provide information and assistance to the local governments.. Moreover-it is in their-interest to do so to ensure appropriate consideration of uses of more than local importance, and because, after certification of the LCP, all special districts and governmental agencies, with the exception of certain:federal functions,-must carry out their development activities within the coastal zone-consistent with the LCP. .The following sections identify some of the major local, regional, state,, and federal agencies that should normally be involved in the preparation of the land use plan. l. Local Agencies Coordination with agencies at the local level in the preparation and adoption of general plan elements and amendments is required by state planning-law. California, Government Code Section 65304 directs the planning agency "to consult and advise with the public officials and agencies [and] public uti-lity,companies ... to the end that maximum coordina- tion of plans may be secured and properly located sites for all public purposes may be indicated an the general plan. Such coordination is also necessary as part of the LCP. Local agencies include other cities and counties, special purpose agencies,special districts and utilities, ports, and LAFCOs. a. Cities and Counties Because political boundaries do not precisely overlap coastal re- 1-34 source areas, cooperation among neighboring jurisdictions will be important. Cities and counties are already required by Section 653007 of the Government Code to plan for their jurisdiction and any land out- side their boundaries that may be related, and by Sections6.5305 and 650 of the Government Code to refer proposed general plan amendments to abutting jurisdictions. In planning for areas within more than one government's sphere of influence, cities and counties should establish consistent land use designations, although the local government.with actual juris-- diction will be responsible for carrying out the LCP within that area. Local governments should be encouraged to plan jointly to address coastal issues that are more than local in nature, such as agriculture, water quality? and road capacity. The regional coastal commission should assist in,coordinating the planning,of jurisdictions with similar or overlapping coastal issues, and should ensure that each LCP is compatible with those of neighboring jurisdictions. b. Special-Purp05e Agencies Special-purpose agencies, such as redevelopment agencies and housing authorities, are of major importance in several coastal areas. When the city council or board of supervisors is the governing body for these agencies, coordination with other portions of an LCP may be encouraged. Where the governing body of the special-purpose agency is separate from the city council or board of supervisors, special efforts should be made to include these agencies early in the planning process. C. Special Distri cts and Public Works Of particular concern to coastal planning are public works projects. Public works are defined in the Coastal Act as: (a) All production, storage, transmissionv and recovery facilities for water, sewerage, telephone, and other similar utilities owned or operated by any public agency or by any utility subject to the jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Commission, except for energy facilities. 1-35 (b) All public transportation facilities, including streets, roads, highways, public parking lots and structures, ports, harbors,. airports? railroads, and-mass transit facilities and stations,bridges, trolley wires, and other related facilities [excluding-the four major-ports]. (c) All publicly financed recreational facilities and any develop- ment by a special.district. (d) All, community college facilities. (Section 30114, Special districts carry-out many kinds of public works projects. The more important types of special districts for coastal planning purposes are sanitation,.solid waste disposal, water, harbor, airport, transit, parking, parks.and recreation, and resource conservation dis- tricts (see Section 30118 of-the Coastal Act for definition of "special district), The County Assessor's office can help identify special diS.. tricts located within:the coasta1zone according-to Section 30504 of the-Coastal Act: "Special districts, which issue permits-or otherwise grant approval for development or which conduct development activities that may- affect coastal resources shall submit their-development plans to the affected local.government pursuant to Section 65401 of the Government Code. Such plans shall be considered by the affected local government in the preparation of its local coastal program.? In addition to special.districts, there are a number of privately- owned companies under-the jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Comimssion, including gas and electric companies and transit companies, that carry out public works that may affect coastal resources. While subject to different state requirements-, public-works proposed by such companies should be given the same kind of consideration as special district activities in terms of LCP planning. Where there are conflicts between any-proposed public works plans and coastal policies community goals,, the local government, the regional Coastal Commission, and the districts should work together to resolve any differences.. The local government will be the lead agency in determining how to incorporate or revise such plans in the LCP. The Coastal Commission,, in turn, will consider any conflicts in their review and certification of the LCP. 1-36 Once an LOP is certifie d, all local public agencies, special dis- tricts, and utility companies must carry out public works consistent with the LOP. According to Section 30519 of the Coastal Act, the Coastal Commission's permit authority over such agencies will, after certification, be delegated to the local government, although local decisions regarding major public works will be appealable to the Commission (pursuant to Section 3o603(a)5)- For projects not anticipated at the time of LCP certification, agencies or companies that undertake public works projects "may request any local government to amend its certified local coastal program, if the purpose of the proposed amendment is to meet public needs of an area greater than that included within such certified LOP ... "(Section 30515). If the local goverrunent does not amend its LOP, such a request for amendment may be brought to the Coastal Commission. d. Ports The Coastal Act contains special provisions governing the ports of Port Hueneme, Long Beach, and Los Angeles, and the San Diego Unified Port District. These ports must prepare, adopt? and have certified by the Coastal Commission a Port Master Plan. Section 307-U of the Coastal Act provides that "...for informational purposes, each city, county, or city and county which has a port within its jurisdiction shall incorpor- ate the certified port master plan in its local coastal program." Local governments adjacent to these ports should coordinate their coastal planning with the ports, particularly where conflicts have been iden- tified in the issue identification stage of an LOP. Such coordination efforts will be an important part of any port plan certification where under Section 30711(a) (5) the ports are required to provide for public participation in their planning and development decisions. e. LAFCOs Local agency formation commissions (LAFC0s) are responsible for identifying and planning for the future service area and boundaries of cities and all special districts, except school districts. The spheres ofinfluence plans are required by Section 54774 of the Government Code. @I-37 Because the designation of a public agency's future service area may lead to the extension of public services in the coastal zone, cities and counties should consult width their-LAFCOs to coordinate plans for the coastal zone-., 2. Regional Agencies/Councils of Government Most coastal-cities and counties (except those in Del Norte and Mendocino Counties) are members of an active council of governments. COGs- carry- out a number- of state- and federal1y-mandated planning activities that are related to the objectives of the LCP. Because of the multi-jurisdictonal focus of COGs, they may serve an important coordinating-role for member coastal jurisdictions. Where appropriate, COGs and local governments may find it desirable to work together-formally to plan for the areawide coastal resources and issues. Such possibilies should be actively explored early in the land use plan preparation process. Most federal agencies that fund COG and local government planning have-signed memoranda of understanding with the Federal Office of Coastal. Zone Management (OCZM) that provide guidance to recipients of federal funds for-coordinating areawide and coastal planning programs. Example s of such agreements and-their implications-are summarized below. Land Use and Housing Elements Bylate 1977, every COG,. to be eligible to apply for HUD 701 funding, must meet HUD housing-and land use element requirements. The areawide land use plan must contain long- and short-term urban growth policies, including the type, intensity, and timing of growth, and mechanisms necessaryfor coordinating local, areawide, and state-land use policies with functional planning and capital investment strategies. The areawide housing element must identify current and future housing needs by appropriate geographic sectors and provide, through policies- and implementation proposals, for the distribution of housing to meet the needs of all citizens. 1-38 .Transportation Plans COGs also carry out transportation planning activities under the auspices of state and.federal programs. Designated as Regional Trans- portation Planning Agencies by the state, or in some metropolitan areas as the Metropolitan Planning Organizations by the federal govern- ment, COGa prepare regional transportation plans, with both long-term and short-range elements. These plans are a precondition for receiving federal and.state funds for certain transportation projects within the area of jurisdiction. .Water Quality Management Plans ABAGI AHBAGI SCAG, and CPO have been designated by EPA and the state as water quality planning agencies.under Section 208 of the Water Pollution Control Act amendments of 1972. Coastal areas outside the jurisdiction of these COGs will-also be -covered by 208 plans pre- pared by the StateWater Resources- Control Board or@_by other designated special purpose agencies. As part of the 208 plans, the COGs must identify major water quality problems with an emphasis on non-point sources and develop speci fic plans and strategies for dealing with these problems. Coastal problems such as erosion and rua-off into wet- lands and estuaries may be addressed in 208 plans. The memorandum-of understanding between EPA and OCZM establishes policy for coordination of 208 plans and coastal plans in four areas: water quality standards; permissible uses and use priorities; plan consistency; and regulatory activities. Section 208 Water Quality Management Plans:are to be finished two years following EPA approval ofthle 208 work programi but in no case later than November 1, 1978. *Air.Quality Maintenance Plans COGs may also, be.ir=lved in developing-Air Quality Maintenance Plans (AW) required by the State pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act for Air Quality Maintenance Areas. The AQMPs should integrate .1-39 direct source controls, land.use plans,. and.transportation strategies to be implemented by state and.local agencies. ABAG is the only coastal COG to date designated as the AQW planning agency. 3. Agencies Local governments and-state agencies must work together to ensure _@:.:that: the@ land use. plan is, consistent with state plans and.regulations And'that it incorporates proposed state public works projects found to be inaccordance with local plans sad with the Coastal Act. a. Regulatory Agencies To ensure that existing-state regulatory programs are integrated into localdbastal programs, Section 30522 of the Coastal Act provides that-the Coastal Commissions shall-not certify any local coastal pro- gram "which provides for a-lesser degree of environmental protection than that provided by the plans and policies of any state regulatory- agency." Local governments should not attempt to duplicate the authority of state regulatox7 agencies,, which will.continue to exercise their statutory authority over certain types of coastal development and activi@- ties. But the local coastal programs should be reviewed by these agenciesand by the Coastal Commissions to assure that they are con- sistent and compatible. For example, the Department of Fish and Game may have a policy for the protection of valuable stream habitats that requires certain land use controls in the surro-unding watershed over which the Department does not have direct authority. The local plans in such a case should be supportive of the environmental protection policy of the state agency. It will-be a prime responsibility of local governments to provide opportunities for state agency review and participation, and a prime re- sponsibility of state regulat-oryagencies to thoroughly review and comment on proposed land use plans early in the preparation process. State regulatory- agencies include the Air Resources Board and air pollution control districts, Water Resources Control Board and Regional Water Quality 1-40 Control Boards, the Department. of Fish and Game, and the Department of Forestry. b. Functional Agencies According to Section 30403 of the Coastal Act, local coastal pro- grams ".should provide the common assumptions upon which state functional plans for the coastal zone are based ... 11 Once the local coastal program is certified, state agencies must carry out their development activities in accordance with the LCP, although for projects-not anticipated at the time of the LCP, the state agency may request an amendment in accordance with Section 30515 of the Act. Thus, local-state coordination is particularly important under the Coastal Act to assure that local plans accommodate needed state projects and management programs and, similarly, that state plans respect local coastal land use decisions. Such coordination will be essential for state agencies with direct authority over coastal lands and waters, such as the State Lands Division and the Department of Parks and Recreation, as well as for those that carry out public works projects within the coastal zone,, such as the Department of Transportation. These agencies should contact all affected local governments as early as possible to assure.appropriate provisions in the LCPs for state functional programs, such as potential leases of state lands, state highway, park and recre- ation, or water project improvements? etc. Local governments should, , in turat advise these agencies of how their state programs or plans can complement coastal land use concerns, such as keeping highway capacity or recreational facilities compatible with desired intensity of develop- ment or environmental carrying capacity. C. State Lands Commission The State Lands Commission is neither a regulatory nor functional agency, but rather.a landlord of state-owned lands and water. As such, it will serve an important role in assuring that LCPsI as,well as port master plans, are consistent with land use and management controls 1-41 established by the State Lands Commission.,. LocaI governments should contact the Commission-early in the--planning-process-to coordinate planning*in andnear state lands. According to Section 3o4i6 of the Coastal Act, State Lands Commission review of proposed local programs that affect state lands will be required before Coastal Commission certification. d. Coastal.Conser,vancy The Coastal Conservancy,. established by the State Legislature in 1976, is empowered to accept-donations of land and to fund specified activities, including-acquisition of land, development rights and ease- ments-, andresource restoration. To be eligible for funding assistance from the Conservancy, most projects must be designated in a,certified LCP. Therefore, as part of the-land use plan, and in.close consultation with the Coastal Commission and.the Coastal Conservancy, the local government should identify any of.the following that may require public.action: (1) important agricultural lands meeting the criteria set forth in Section 31152 of the Conservancy Act; (2) areas-requ-17ning astal restoration (Section 31200 of the c Conservancy Act); (3) areas requiring-resource enhancement (Section 31251 of the Conservancy Act); and (4) significant park, recreation, fish and wildlife habitat, historic preservation, and scientific study areas which are:in.danger of being-lost (Section 31350 of the Conser- vancy Act). Public accessways-for morethan local needs may also be assisted by the Conservancy, but are not necessarily tied to a certified LCP. For & summary-of the Coastal Conservancy program, see Appendix B. 1-42 In Part II of this manual, those state agencies whose authority or exper- tise corresponds with Coastal Act policies are listed for each policy group. Appendix C contains brief descriptions of the major responsibilities and activities of these agencies. For both functional and regulatory agencies, the Coastal Commissions will, to the extent possible, provide guidance and serve as a coordinator for the local/state planning that should be reflected in the LCP. At a minimum, according to Section 00050 of the LCP Regulations, each local government must provide notice of "public review sessions, availability of review drafts, studies, or other relevant documents or actions pertaining to the preparation of a local coastal program" to the appropriate state and regional offices of the state agencies listed in Appendix A. Six weeks notice must be provided for availability of proposed LCP documents (draft land use plan or zoning), and 10 working days notice of the public hearing(s) on them. In addition,, state agencies directly affected by or relevant to the local planning shall be sent copies of the actual proposed LCP documents at least six weeks prior to any final action by the local government. 4. Federal Agencies A number of federal agencies undertake public works projects or exercise regulatory and management controls over coastal resources and activities. Under the "federal consistency" provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Manage- ment Act (Sections 307(c) and (d)) v federal development projects in the coastal zone must be consistent, to the maximum extent practicable, with a federally- approved state coastal management program. Projects undertaken by federal agencies on federally-owned lands, h6wem-, are not subject to the consistency provisions unless the project would have some effect on the coastal zone beyond the f ederal property. Under the federal consistency provisions, coastal activities regulated or supported by federal agencies must be consistent with a state's approved management program. These federal activities include: (1) issuing a license or permit for any activity affectingland or water areas in the coastal zone; 1-43 (2) providing.financial.assistance to state-or-local governments for- projects affecting the coastal zone; and (3) granting a license or permit for an activity covered by a plan for the exploration or development of, or production from.. areas leased under-the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. A finding that such an activity is inconsistent with the state coastal .ma na ement program can be overruled if the U.S. Secretar7-of Commer ce finds that the proposed action is either consistent with the objectives of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act or necessary in the interest of national security. States are given the responsibility for making-these determinations r5- garding federal projects and activities. In California, the local coastal programs will.be regarded as'a refinement of the state management program and thus the Coastal COmmi-sion, in reviewing such-federal actions,, will use con- sistency with the certified LCP as the standard. Because of this,. it is essential that the views of federal agencies affected by the local planning be-considered in the LCP development. In Part IT ofthis manual,, specific federal agencies are identified for each policy group. Many of these will be very useful to local governments in preparing the land use plan.. In addition,, those federal-agencies which, in accordance with federal regulations, must be formally-contacted during the coastal planning process, with notices of availability of.review drafts and hearings as specified in Section 00050 of the Commission LCP Regulations, are listed in. Appendix A. C*..- Citizen Participation The Coastal Act places great importance on public involvement in carrying -to the Act: out the coastal policies.. Accarditg The Legislature...finds and declares that the public has theright, to fully participate in decisions affecting coastal planning, conservation, and development; that achievement of sound coastal conservation and development is dependent upon public understanding and sup port; and that the continuing planning and implementation of programs for coastal con- servation and develoDment should include the widest opportunity for public 'participation. (Seci4on 30006) 1-44 Under the Coastal Act, the responsibility for ensuring meaningul public parti- cipation rests both with the Coastal Commission and with the local governments. The Coastal Commission has the responsibility for 11ensurEing] f),11 and adequate participation by all interested groups and the public" in the Commis- sion's work, and "recommend[ing] to any local,government preparing or imple- menting a local coastal-program and to any state agency ... any additional measures to assure open consideration and more effective public participation... (Section 30339) In addition to providing required public notices, hearings, and distribution of documents, the Coastal Commissions will provide as much assistance as possible to local governments in their citizen participation efforts, Local governments have the main responsibility for involving the public in the local coastal planning. First the local government will determine "the precise content of each local coastal program ... with full public participation." (Section 30500(c)) The Coastal Act also provides that: During the preparation, approval, certification, and amendment of any local coastal program, the public...shall be provided maximum opportun-- ities to participate. Prior to submission of a local coastal program for approval,, local governments -shall hold a public hearing or hearings on that portion of the program which has not been subjected to public hearings within four years of such submission. (Section 30503) Further, Section 305,10(a) of the Coastal Act provides for the submittal of the LCP pursuant to a resolution adopted by the local government after public hearing. Local public hearing and minimum notice requirements are discussed in Section F of this chapter, below. Important as public hearings are, the full public participation envisioned by the Coastal Act should begin much earlier in the planning, with informa- tional. meetings, advisory reviews, and other such means of giving the widest range of interests an opportunity to participate. In some cases, extensive citizen involvement may already have been achieved in recent planning pro- grams. In such cases, a public hearing or hearings, with opportunities for review of the local government analysis of conformity of the local plans to the Coastal Act and any specific changes proposed, may be adequate. Other 1-45 local governments may have.c planning-programs@that include a public invol-vwent process9 and the local coastal planning could use that structure with little additional-effort. In all cases, the local government should design its oun citizen participation program to-maximi e opportunities for public involvement in coastal planning. 'F@allowing is a listing of some citizen participation techniques and educational programs that may be useful in providing.for effective public participation in coastal programs. The Media: Newspapers, TV, Radio News releases Meeting notices Informational articles/briefings Spot news-coverage Documentaries Interviews,, talk shows, phone-in sessions Public serv-ice announcements Presentation.to Interested Grou-ne Speakers/panels Slide show Maps and photographs Information Availability Loan copies in city hall and public libraries Sales Of documents atcost Publication of summary- documents Newsletter- Summaries of local committee meetings and workshops Information on State and Regional Commissions Reprints from planni%@reports Committees Task force Technical review committee Study group Advisory committee Communit7 Involvement Discussion papers and informational papers with questionnaires eetin Town m gs/public forums/workshops 1-46 The Coastal Commission will, in its review of work programs for funding, assure that "the work program includes measures for involving the public and other agencies adequate to comply with the Coastal Act and with the requirements of the funding authority." (Section 00023(d) of LCP Regulations) The Commission may, from time to time, make addition- al recommendations to appropriate state and local agencies to assure- maximum public participation as required under the Coastal Act. D. Environmental Requirements (CEOA) A local coastal program is subject to the requirements-of the Cal- ifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State Guidelines for implementing that Act. Section 21151 of CEQA provides that:. A22 local agencies shall prepare, or cause to be prepared by con- tract, and certify the completion of an environmental impact re- port on any project they intend to ck-ry out or approve which may have a significant effect on the environment. A "project" includes It. . . the adoption and amendment of local General Plans or elements thereof pursuant to Government Code Sections 65100- 65700-11 (Section 15037, CEQA Guidelines) Thus, a CEQA review of a local coastal program will be required, and the local government.will be the lead agency for CEQA purposes because of its responsibility for considering environmental impacts throughout the jurisdiction. Under CEQA, either an environmental impact report (EIR) on the proposed land use plan would be prepared, or, if it is determined that the land use plan will have no significant effect on'the environment, a negative declaration would be filed. If an EIR is prepared, it must contain the following: (1) description of the project; desc ion of the environmental setting; ript (3) the significant environmental effects of the proposed project; (4) any significant environmental effecta-which cannot be avoided; (5) mitigation measures proposed to minimize the significant effects; (6) alternatives to the proposed action; 1-47 (7) the relationship between local short-te=uses of man's .environment and,the maintenance and enhancement of long- term@productivity; (a) any significant irrerversible-changes which would be invol- ved in the-proposed action should it be implemented; and, (9) the growth-inducing impact of the proposed project. (Section 15143 of State CEQA Guidelines) In preparing-an EIR on the laad use plan, local governments are encouraged to combine the LM with local general plan documents. The land use plan, together-with the common methodology analysis, should largely address the points required in an EIR. The State OEQA. Guidelines 'de for such an integration of the M with planning documents, as follows: The re ---(a)-- __ quirements for an EIR on a local general plan, element or-amendment thereof will be satisfied by the general plan or elementdocument., aad no separate EZR will be required.if: (1)@the general prlan.addresses all.the points-required to be in an EIRby-Article 9 of these Guidelines amd (2) the document contains aspecial.section or a cover sheet identifying where the general plan document,.:addresses each of the points required. (b) The Lead Agency for-the general plan, element, or amendment shall forward the appropriate documents to the State Clearing- house for,state review*, (Section 15148 of CEQA Guidelines) Where the local goverment is incorporating in-the plan documents the common methodology analysis for addressing coastal issues, this analysis would largely address the EIR points. A1.1 that would be needed is a separate corver-memo to reference or describe briefly where the documents-cover the points. The same,cover memo would serve to locate-the common methodology analysis. On the other-hand, where the local government is submitting the common methodology-analysis as a separate report accompan7ing- the plan documents, the M may be in- tegrated into this separate report. There are several points in the MR requirements that may need some additional attention.beyond what might already be--covered for Coastal Act purposes. Point _(6) of the EIR content, regarding alter- natives, may require some elaboration. Local governments may also 1-48 need to describe the environmental setting and impacts beyond the coastal zone boundary, for- EIR pmposes. A Negative Declaration or a draft EIR prepared on the land use plan must be submitted to the State Clearinghousev as wall as the appropriate regional clearinghouse pursuant to Section 15161.5 of the CEQA Guidelines. The State Clearinghouse review period on draft EMS is 45 dayst and local governments must consequently provide for a local review period of at least the same length. In addition, the final EIR must contain: (1) the draft-EIR or a revision of-the draft; (2) comments and recommendations-received on the draft EIR either verbatim or in summary; (3) a list of persons, organizations and public agencies commenting on the draft EIR; and, (4) the responses of the lead agency to significant environmental points raised in the review and consultation process. (Section 15146 of GEQA Guidelines) In meeting these requirements for the final EIR, the local government will also be satisfying a portion of the submission requirements for the LCP (Section 00071(a) of the Commissionts LCP Regulations), as discussed later in this chapter. Thus there should be a minimum of duplication of effort. For further details on environmental requirements under CEQA, local government should consult Public Resources Code, Sections- 21000-21150, Title 14 of the California Administrative Code, Sections 15000 et seq. and the California Environmental Quality Act: A Practical Guide to State Environmental Impact Reporting Requirements, currently being prepared by the Office of Planning and Research. 1-49 E. Preliminary Review. Because of the complex procedures required for both formal local adoption and formal Regional-and State Coastal Commission approval and certification of the LCP, the Commission's LCP Regulations clearly recognize the need for early guidance from both the staff and Commission on the content of the LCP, so that potential inconsistencies qr-questions of interpretation can be resolved in.advance. On the staff level, the LCP Regurations-provide that: During the preparation of a local coastal program,, the local govern- ment shall to the extent possible coordinate with and be assisted by commission and regional commission staff in resolving issues as to conformity and sufficiency in-meeting the requirements of the California Coastal Act of 1976. The executive director-of the com- mission may from time to time give non-binding nonformal opinions on such issues, based on staff interpretations of the Coastal Act mid [prior] decisions of the commission...(Section ooo6o). At the Commission level, in-addition to the issue identification/ 'work program review, each local government is entitled to-at least one preliminary review of its-proposed LCP by-both the Regional and State Commissions (Section 00061). The review-procedure-is the same as that provided for informal review of urban exclusion requests, as follows: The commission will grant a request for-preliminary advisory re-- view as time allows, provided such review will not adversely Limit commission time required for-the review of other agenda.items. Any such advisory review shall be conducted at a properly noticed public hearing of the commission. The chairperson shall estab- lish predetermined time limits for testimony by the local govern- ment and interested persons. Individual members of the commission may ask questions and make statements-but no vote shall.be taken. (Section 13218 of Permit Regulations) The intent of the preliminary review is to provide guidance at important decision-making points during the preparation of the LCP before-the local government commits extensive,time and effort to a particular direction. Because of the informal, advisory nature of the review, the local government need not have all LCP documents in completed form, nor have complied with public hearing and notice re- quirements. thus, a six week period of notice and document review 1-50 is not needed for the local government to submit plans for preliminary review. The request for review may be made by the local planning staff, theplanning commission, or the local governing body. Pursuant to Section 00050(a) of the LCP Regulations-, a notice that such a request is being made must be sent to all interested persons and agencies. This should be done at the time of the submittal, either by the Regional Commission or by the local government, based on mutual agreement, to avoid duplication while still providing adequate public review time. The LCP Regulationa-further provide that the preliminary review "may be bonsolidated with any commission review of draft environmental documents" and that: If a local government intends to submit existing plans or regu- lations as all or a portion of a,..local coastal program,, the local government may submit such existing plans for this pre-- liminary review together with a discussion of the manner in which existing plans or regulations meet the requirements of Sections 00040-00042 [common methodology? uses of more than local importance, and access componentj and of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act of 1976. This review may be com- bined with the issue identification review, as set forth in Section 00022(c). (section 00061(c)) Basically, this section provides an additional option for those local governments that do not seek funding assistance aid that wish to submit existing plans-in an expedited manner. Rather than preparing a separate issue identification, the local,governmerrt may prepare an issue analysis in the more thorough form of the common methodology, submitting this together with the plans for preliminary Commission re- view, and thus eliminating the separate Commission hearings on the issue identification. F. Local Adoption of Land Use Plan There are several requirements for public hearings and public notice that must be fulfilled by the local government prior to submission of the land use plan to the Coastal Commission. 'The requirements include those contained in: (1) the State CEQA Guidelines; (2) Sections 65350- 57 of the Government Code pertaining to the amendment or adoption of 1-51 general:plan elements; and (3) the Coastal-Act and the Commission's LCP Regulations@* These requirements, however, can be consolidated to-obviate the need for single-pi3rp ose hearings aad duplication of effort.. The Coastal.Act requires that the local gover:nment hold at least one-public hearingon any portion of an LCP that-has not been subject to public hearings within four-years@ In addition, the formal submittal of'the@LCP,@ or portion thereof,-to the.Regional Commission must be-.-made by aresolution adopted by the local governing body after public hearing p Pursuant to the Commission's LCP Regulations, before the final local action (a resolution and/or adoption of plans) is taken,, the proposed LCP documents-must have-been noticed'sad made available for review for-atleast sixweeks. Notice of local hearings, including those of the planni ng-comm:Lssion as well as the governing body, must be made at least 10 working days before-the hearing (Section 00050). Whenever the coastal,land use plan includes new amendments to or new elements,of the local general plaa@ the adoption must conform: to the state planning laws requirements-(Sections 65350 et seq. of the Government-Code)., Notice of planning commission and legislative body hearings must be made in newspapers of general circulation,, or posted if no appropriate newspaper exists,at.least 10 calendar days- before the hearings. discussed earlier in this chapter, CEQA requires that there be an environmental review of the LCP, although CEQA leaves public hearings to the discretion of the local government. Public availability of'emr1ronmental documents and public notice requirements specified in CEQA Guidelines are applicable (Sections 15160-15165, Calif. Administrative Code). If an MM is prepared on the.land use plan, at least 45 days-must be allowed for State Clearinghouse review of the draft. The final EIR must be accepted by the local government before the land use plan can be submitted to the Coastal- Commission. To consolidate the various requirements, local governments are advised to.do the following: 1-52 (1) Integrate the environmental review with the land use plan in one document, as discussed in Section D above. (2) Provide for the six week LCP document availability at the same time as fulfilling the requirement for 45 day State Clearing- house review of draft EIRs. (3) Hold public hearings on the environmental documents at the same time as required public hearings on the land use plan; and (4) Provide for mtice circulation and publication a minimum of ten (10) working days prior to the public hearings of the planning commission and legislative body. Thus, the requirement of planning law and the Commission's LCP Regulations will be satisfied. G. Review and Certification of Land Use Plan The completed land use plan will:be submitted to the Regional Commission for review in accordance with a schedule established by the Commission. The land use plan must be in conformity with the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act and meet all relevant requirements con- tained in the Coastal Act and the LCP Regulations. As set forth in the regulations, the land use- plan submission pack- age must include a resolution adopted by the local government, after public hearing, certifying that the LCP is intended to be carried out in conformity with the Coastal Act mid in addition: (a) A summary of the measures taken to provide the public and affected agencies and districts maximum opportunity to partici- pate in the local coastal program process... ; a listing of mem- bers@of the public, organizations, and agencies appearing at any hearings or contacted for comment on the local coastal program; and copies or summaries of significant comments received and of the local government response to the comments... ; (b) All policies, plans-, standards, objectives, diagrams, drawings, maps, photographs, and supplementary data,...in sufficient detail to allow review for conformity with the [Coastal Act]. Written documents@should be readily reproducible. Land use plans shall. include a readily identifiable public access component... Land use maps shall be at a scale sufficiently detai-led to show clearly the land use designations applicable to specific areas of the coastal zone and shall to the extent possible be correlated with and at a comparable scale to resource information and other map- ped data; (c) A [common methodology] analysis or an approved alternative that demonstrates conformity with the requirements of ... the I@-53 Coastal Act;. (d) Any environmental review documents,- pursuant to CEQAj r e- quired for all.or any portion of the local coastal program... Eavironmental.review documents may be integrated into the local coastal program materials; [and] (e) A general indication. -of the zoning- measures that will be used to carry, out the land. use plan (unless- submitted at. the same@time as the land use plan); and in designated sensitive coastal resource areas,-a listing of any other implementing actions ... (Section 00071) Proced:ures for the processing of the land use plan by the Regional and-State'Commissions are established in Section 30512 of the Coastal Act,and.Sectiona00072-through 00121 of the Commission's LCP Regulationa. The [email protected] how the review-and certification process will- work., Me land use plan together,with,all-required documents is first submitted to the Regional. Commission. Withizi 90 days- after- submittal, the Regional Commission must either,approve-or disapprove- in whole or part-the land.use plan.. The Regional Commission will.approve the land us&plan if it finds that the lahd use plan meets the requirements,of and is in ccnformit7-with the policies contained in Chapter 3 of the Act. If the Regional,Commission does not act w-ithin: the 90-day period, the plan. will be deemed approved. If the land use plan is approved in its entiret7, it will be for- warded within 10 working days-to the State Commission for certification. If*the Regional Commission disapproves the land use plan in whole or part, it must notify the local government and provide a written explan- ation for the disapproval. In this event, the ji=isdiction can either- revise.the disapproved plan and resubmit it to the Regional Commission or appeal the dissapproval and submit the disapproved land use plan or- arevised version to the State Commission. The State Commission has between 21 and 45 days after a land use plan has been submitted or appealed to determine, after a public hear- ing, whether specific provisions of the land use plan raise a substan- tial issue as to conformity with the policies-of Chapter 3 of the 1-54 Coastal Act. If'no.substantial issue is found, the decision of the Regional Commission stands. Where the Regional Commission approved the land use plan, it is deemed certified. If the State Commission determines a substantial issue is raised, it must, following public hearing and within 60 days of receipt of the land use plan, either refuse certification or certify, in whole or in part, the land use Plan. If the State Commission refuses certificationv in whole or in part, it must send a written explanation for such action to the local government.and the Regional Commission. A revised land use plan may then be resubmitted directly to the Commission for certification. This overall Regional and State Commission review process is J1111stra- ted below.

Section 30333.5 provides that matters may be raised whenever the Commission determines that "to do so would expedite the review of such local coastal program." The Commission must do so "where-it finds that the regional commission is not processing the local coastal program ... in a reasonably expeditious and timely manner." 1-56 PART -11, COASTA.L ACT POLICIES 1 -7, INTRODUCTION This section of the manual discusses the policies in Chapter 3 of the Coastal ket - the policies to which a local coastal program must conform.

Industrial and Energy Development Following each set of policies are: (1) =lanatory notes, with defi- nitions, references to other statutes, and other information designed to clarify the policies; (2) an LCP checklist,to assist in determining what policies, designations, data,, and zoning provisions to include in the LCP; and (3) a listing of agencies and sources of information pertaining to the policy area, A. SHORELINE ACCESS 1. COASTAL ACT POLICIES 30210. In carrying out the requirement of Section 2 of. Article XV of the. California Constitution, maximum access, which shall be conspicuously posted, and recreational opportunities shall be provided for all the people consistent with public safety needs and the need to protect- public rights, rights of private property owners, and- natural resource areas from overuse. 30211. Development shall not interfere with the public's,right,of access to the sea where acquired through use, or legislative authorization, including, but not limite'& to, the use of dry sand and rocky coastal beaches to the first line of terrestrial vegetation. 30212. Public access from the nearest public roadway to the shoreline and along the coast shall be provided in new development projects except where- (1) it is inconsistent with public safety, military security needs, or the protection of fragile coastal resources, (2) adequate access exists near@y, or (3) agriculture would. be adversely affected. Dedicated accessway shall not be re uired to be opened to public use until a public agency .q or private association agrees to accept responsibility for maintenance and liability of the accessway. Nothing.in this division shall restrict.public access nor shall it excuse the performance of duties , dnd responsibilities of public agencies which are required by Sections 66478.1 to 66478.14, inclusive, of the Government Code and by Section 2 of Article XV of the California Constitution. 2. EXPLANATORY NOTES Article X7. Section 2 of the California Constitution @- reads as follows: No individual, partnership, or corporation, claiming or possessing the frontage or tidal lauds of a harbor, bay inlet, estuary, or other navigable water in this State, shall be permitted to exclude the right of way to such water whenever it is required for any public purpose, nor to destroy or obstruct the free navigation of such water; and the Legislature shall enact such laws as will give the most liberal construction to this provision, so that access to the navigable waters of this State shall be always attainable for the people..__ 11-2 A.- SHORELINE ACCESS (cont.) Sections 66478.1 to 66478.14 inclusive of the Goverrtment Code refer to p6rtions of the Subdivision Map Act. Relevant portions are summarized below: -No local agency shall approve coastal or oceanfront subdivisions, or subdivisions involving waterways, lakes or reservoirs, unless public'. access is provided by fee or easement from a public highway to "land below the ordinary highwater mark on any ocean coastline or bay shore- Line within or at a reasonable distance: from the subdivision, "or to 'that portion of the bank or-stream bordering-or lying with lu the _p oposed subdivision." -AdditionaII7, no local. agency shall. approve a subdivision that does not provide for dedicationsof a public easement (designed in extent,,. width.,.- and character to achieve public use of the waterway) along a portion of the@ waterfront bordering or within the proposed subdivision. -Reatonable access is to- be determined by the local agency, considering: (1) mode of access; M size of subdivision; (3) common uses of bank or stream, or type of coastline or shoreline and'appropriate uses; '.(4) likelihood of trespass and means of avoiding trespass. The sub- division need not be disapproved if access is not provided and the local agencT finds that reasonable.access is available nearby. -The subdivider is 'not required to improve access route(s) that benefit non-residents of the subdivision. Access route(s) may be conveyed or transferred to other governmental. agencies. Additional Provisions of the Coastal Act: -Section 30500(a): Each local coastal program ... shall contain a specific public access component.to assure that maximum public access to the coast and public recreation areas is provided. According to the Commission's LCP Regulations, Section 00042, "The public accessi-component ... mayIbe set forth in a separate plan element or it may be comprised of various plan components that are joined together in a text accompanying the submission of the local coastal program. The public access component shall set forth in detail the kinds and intensity of uses, the reservation of public service capacities for recreation purposes where required pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 30254, and specific geo 'paphic areas proposed for direct physical access to coastal water areas as required by Public Resources Code, Sections 30210-30224 and 30604(c)., -Section 30604(c): Every coastal development permit issued for any development between the nearest public road and the sea or the shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone shall include.a specific finding that such development is in conformity with 6e public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 30200). 11-3 - A.

EXPLANATORY NOTES Additional Provisions of the Coastal Act -Section 30001.2:"The Legislature further finds and declares that, notwith- standing the fact electrical generating facilities, refineries, and coastal- dependent developments, including ports and commercial fishing facilities, offshore petroleum and gas development, and liquefied natural gas facilities, may have significant adverse effects on coastal resources or coastal access, it may be necessary to locate such developments in the coastal zone in order to ensure that inland as well as coastal resources are preserved and that orderly economic development proceeds within the state." -Pursuant to Section 30501(c) of the Coastal Act, the Commission's LCP Reg- ulations provide that recommended uses of more than local importance, including major energy facilities, be considered in the preparation of LCPs. These provisions are discussed in Part I, Chapter 2 of this Manual, dealing with the preparation of the land use plan. -Section 30413(b) and (c) of the Coastal Act provides for designation by the Commission of "specific locations within the coastal zone where the location of (new thermal electric generating plants) would prevent the achievement of the objectives of" the Coastal Act, based on detailed findings. The designa- tions are to be made by January 1, 1978, and can be revised and updated every two years thereafter. The Coastal Commission must make certain findings before the Energy Commission may approve a new power plant within those designated locations. Coastal Energy Impact Program C@ Section 308 of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 establishes a coastal energy impact program which "shall consist of the provision of financial assistance to meet the needs of coastal states and local governments 11-47 INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND ENERGY FACILITIES (cont.) in such states resulting from specified activities involving energy develop- ment." (Sec. 308(a)(1)). Such assistance includes: -M grants for, "the study of, planning for, development of, and carrying out of projects and programs ... which are necessary ... to provide new or improved public facilities and public services which are required as a direct result of new or expanded outer continental shelf energy activity" .-(2) grants for "the prevention, reduction, or amelioration of any unavoidable loss...of any valuableenvironmental,or recreational resource" resulting from coastal energy act.ivity -(3) guarantees and loans for "providing new or improved public facilities or public services..4which are required as a result of a coastal energy activity"; and grants to meet loans or guarantees if such indebtedness results from such improved public facilities or public services. The Coastal Commission and the Office of Planning and Research are currently preparing procedures to administer the Coastal Energy Impact Program, and to make funds available for affected local.governments, coordinated with the LCP planning. Special Projects -Office of Planning and Research OCS Project. The Coastal Commission has contracted with OPR for a detailed study of offshore oil and gas develop- ment and associated onshore facility development. -Coastal Commission Power Plant Review Areas Project.

These methods are: (1) the use of Federal Coastal Zone Management grants; (2) the reimbursement of expenses for eligible portions of the LOP work through the procedures of Section 2231 of the Revenue and Taxation Code -(SB 90). Each of these methods is discussed below. 1. Federal Coastal Zone Management Grants Sections-305 and 306 of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 provide, federal funding assistance for states caza-ying out coastal.zone management programs. Section 305 provides assistance for the develoDment of the management program and Section 306 provides grants for implementation once a statel's program is approved by the Secretary of Commerce. Approval of California's program, the Coastal Act of 197611 is expected in September, 1977. The approximate funding levels anticipated under the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act,including a 20% match from State funds, are as follows: January 1, 1977 October 1, 1977 $325,000 (Section 305) October 1, 1977 - June 30, 1978 - $1,700,000 (Section 306) July 1, 1978 - June 301 1979 - $2,000,000 (Section 306) To correspond with the allocation.of federal funds, the LC@ grants will be administered according to the fiscal year. The first LOP grant will run through June 30, 1978, and subsequent grants may nm for an entire fiscal year, July It 1978 through June 30, 1979, etc. All cities and counties lying in whole or in part within the coastal zone are eligible for funding assistance. Activities that qualify for f,unding are those necessary to develop and carry out a local coastal program, including bringing local general plans and zoning into com- pliance with the Coastal Act. Grants will not cover the cost of developing general plan elements that are otherwise required by state law. Federal grant funds cannot be used for the reimbursement of the cost of work done prior to entering into a contract for the work with the State. This contract approach is the only one available under U.S. Commerce Department regulations for the pass-through of federal funds. The Section 305 monies have been used for the initial phase of the LCP, the development of the Total Work Program, which will be the basis for subsequent funding. Many local governments have begun the initial phase during the summer of 1977, and may begin to apply for subsequent funding for the LCP in the fall of 1977. The grants will be administered and monitored by OPRI which will enter into contracts with grantees to accomplish the tasks identified in the work program. Commission approval of the work program will be required before any grant agreement i s executed. Reimbursement for the costs of carrying out the work program is discussed in Chapter 3 below. 2. Reimbursement of State-Mandated Costs Under SB 90 Section 2231 of the Revenue and Taxation Code (SB 90) directs the State to reimburse each local agency for the full cost of any program' mandated by State laws that are enacted after January 1, 1973. In this regard, Section 16 of the Coastal Act states that: The Legislature acknowledges that there may be direct planning and administrative cost ... as a result of this act...but that such costs are indeterminable at this time. It is the intent of the Legislature that such costs to local government shall be,reimbur- sed by the State... Funds appropriated by the Legislature for the purpose of, and pursuant to, this section together with no less '. than 50% of any federal funds legally available for such purposes, shall be deposited in a local government coastal planning assistance account in the General Fund. This section contemplates the possibUity of federal funds being made available for reimbursement of local government costs mandated by the State. There are as yet no such federal funds available. The Federal Coastal Zone Management Act.furids may be granted only on a 111-2 contractual basis, as discussed above, and cannot be allocated for SB 90 reimbursements. However, the establishment of this account in the General Fund will allow the Legislature to set aside General Fund monies for SB 90 reimbursements under the Coastal Act. As further noted in Section 16 of the Coastal Act: The [Coastal] co @ssion shall,review and analyze all [SB 90] MM claims submitted and shall submit to the State Controller its recommendation. The State Controller shall consider the re- port of the commission and review claims submitted by any local government pursuant to this section to determine whether such claimed planning and administrative costs are directly attributable to the operation of this act. The State Controller has established procedures for the filing of claims and for determinin g reimbursable costs under the SB 90 clause whi ch will be used when such claims are made. In addition, the Coastal Commission will apply the followin&criteria in its review of claims-. (1) Only coastal planning costs or costs necessarily incurred to administer non-optional aspects of the coastal legislation are reimbursable. (2) Su ch costs must be for activities directly linked to the Coastal Act. Costs for activities that are already required of the local government pursuant to a law other than the Coastal Act (e.g., general plan requirements, court order, CEQA, etc.), or-that would have otherwise been undertaken by the local govern- ment, would not be reimbursable. Any costs that can be paid for by other sources (i.e. the federal grants) are not to be paid out under the SB 90 provision. The available federal grant funds are the principal means of assisting local governments in preparing LCPs. If the grants are not adequate to cover all local government expenses, the additional costs .may be eligible for reimbursement under 5B 90. 11-1-3 The same basic process will be used to administer the coastal planning account funds as will be used for the grant funds. The local government would still submit a work program to the Regional and State Commissions for review, and the Commissions and local government would heed to come to an agreement on the tasks and costs involved to meet Coastal Act requirements. Instead of a grant con- tract, the Commission would enter into a memorandum of understanding NOU), agreeing to recommend approval of the local government's claim against the SB 90 account when the claim is filed in fall of 1978 (assuming the claim exceeds money available to the local government through grants). Without such prior agreement, the local government will have no assurance that the costs incurred would be considered necessary under the Coastal Act. The MOU will give local governments some,certainty that their claims will be fully paid if the work they do is, indeed, required by the Act. Mutual cooperation will be needed to assure that the Coastal Commission does not require local governments to do more work than there are State and federal funds to pay for, and that local governments do not unilaterally file claims that exceed the amount in the SB 90 fund.. 111-4 CHAPTER 2: GRANT APPLICATION A. Grant Application The application package, comprised of the elements listed belowt should be submitted in duplicate to the Office of Planning and Research. To expedite review, one copy should also be sent to both the regional and state commission offices. A complete application consists of the documents and information.listed and described below. (1) Application Form; (2) Resolution of the legislative body authorizing the application; (3) Statement of Assurances; (4) A-95 Clearinghouse Form (CA 1891CA 484); and (5) Total Work Program, including: (a) Itemized Budget' (b) Work Program Schedule (c) Products and Other Milestone Descriptions. Sample forms appear at the end of this chapter. 1. A=lication Fo=L The application form will serve as a cover- sheet to the application package and lists the designated fiscal officer and project director. Correspondence regarding requests for funds and other fiscal matters will.be directed to the fiscal officer and all other correspondence will be directed to the project director. 2. Resolution: The local government's legislative-body must author- ize the submission of the appli-cation package and authorize the appropriate officer of the city or county to enter into a grant agreement with OPR. 3. Statement of Assurances: This statement lists nine assurances pertaining to the authority to apply for the grant, discriminatory em- ployment practices, the Hatch Act, access to records, and other require- ments of federal grant disbursement. The requirements have been isolated -by the Office of Management and Budget for signature by the applicant. Additional requirements of the federal grant are mentioned under "The Grant Agreement" at the end of this chapter. - -111-5 4. Clearinghouse,@ -Review: The LCP grant application must be cir- culated through both the.area. and state clearinghouses. OPR will submit the LCP grant application to the state clearinghouse. The local govern- ment must submit the application and appropriate clearinghouse form (CA 189 or 484) to the appropriate area clearinghouse. Since the grant agreement cannot be finalized until the review process has been completed, the verification of area clearinghouse review and comments received during the review should be forwarded to OPR to complete the application pacl,,- age. Comments that have not been resolved by the applicant will be reviewed by OPR and the Commission. 5. Total Work Pro&Eam: The Total Work Program includes a descrip- tion of all major planning objectives and tasks to be undertaken by the applicant in completing the local coastal program and is augm ented by the following: (a) Itemized Budget; (b) Total Work Program Schedule; and (c) Milestone Description. The supplemental information will prov-ide the basis for OPR and the Commission to review the progress of the local coastal program and determine the reimbursement of expenses. The Total Work Program should be organized according to the format illustrated and discussed below, unless special circumstances warrant OPR approval of a different format. The tasks that will be accomplished during the first grant period, fall or winter-of 1977 through June 30, 1978, should be described in detail, while the work to be accomplished during subsequent 12 month grant periods can be more general. Total Work Program Format I. Major Program Category Each titled category represents a broad planning activity in the local coastal planning process. The activity may be-the land use plan and implementation phases of the LCP. The major program 111-6 category(ies) should include a statement of the progran goals, as wil I be refined and implemented through the work program, and a summary of the major subcategories. k. Program Subcategories The program subcategories represent the specific objectives of a major program category or goal. The objective should be described in te=.s of the overall LCP. That portion of a subcategory which is to be accomplished during the first grant period should be de- scribed in greater detail than that which will be accomplished during a subsequent funding period. 1. Work Tasks- The work tasks constitute the research, analysis, public education, and other work necessary to achieve the specific objective described in the subcategory. Tasks which are to be accomplished during the first grant period should also be described in detail.. a. Products and other results (milestones) including maps-,. reports, studies, policies should be listed. The products and milestones should be identifiable and measurable to facilitate their use as a basis for reimbursement and for monitoring the LCP progress. These will be noted on the Work Program Schedule and the description provided in the Total Work Program will be used for the Products aid Milestones Description. b. Total estimated costs of the work task, indicating person/ months, and the cost of consultant services, if included, other personal services, and operating expenses. (a) Itemized Budget: A budget form is provided for the purpose of itemizing the proposed expenditures for the LCP grant request for the first fiscal year as well as the total LCP budget. The eligibility of individual expenses is explained in the Guidelines for Grant Management, the Coastal Commission's summary of the applicable federal regulations and guidelines. N Work Projzram Schedule: The schedule will provide a timeline for the LCP program subcategories and indicate submission dates for the 111-7 .Ch granteets progress reports. These reports are discussed in' apter 3. The schedule form (two pages) allows greater detail to be shown for the fiscal year for which the grant application is made, and less de- tail for subsequent fiscal years. The month in which work will begin and conclude should be noted as a bar, and the dates on which the var- ious products or other measurable results of work (milestones) are expected to be completed should also be shown. A number should be assigned to these products and milestones for reference tothe form where they will be described in detail. (c) Products and Other Milestone Descriptions: This is a tool enabling both the Coastal Commission and OPR to keep track of the work progress and evaluate requests for reimbursement. The local government can use the description as a monitoring device to insure that all impor- tant targets are met on time and circulated to the appropriate audience. The products and other milestones will be those indicated in the work program and noted in the work program schedule. The product and milestone description will use information from the work program and need not entail significant additional information. B. Grant Agreement The grant agreement will consist of all of the information and application materials discussed in the previous section, focusing on the first year budget, schedule, and work programas well as an executed grant agreement form and a statement of supplemental conditions which relate to the management of the grant.. The use of federal funds obligates the grantee to comply with certain regulations, policies, and guidelines promulgated by the Office of Management and Budget and the granting agency. The regula- tions pertinent to LCP funds include Section 306 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, the Grants Management Manual for grants pur- suant to that Act, Volume 15, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 920, and Federal Management Circulars 74-4, 74-7 and A-95. A summary of these procedures and regulations, entitled Guidelines for Grant 111-8 Management, will'be made available by the-Commiss ion. Copies of the original documents will be available at the Regional Commission offices. Grantees will indicate their acceptance of the grant and terms of the grant by returning a signed copy of the grant agreement to OPR. Each grant will be numbered and.all further references to it should include this number. Requests for amendments to the grant agreement should be submitted to OPR together with an explanation of the reason for the amendment and the effect it would have on the work program, budget, and schedule. OPR will. submit the amendment request to the Coastal Commission staff and if necessary, the amendment will be submitted to the Commission for approval and authorization to amend the contract. Local governments should determine if the continuity of the local coastal planning work would be seriously hampered by a gap in funding ..during the period between submission of the Total Work..Projzram and its approval by the Commission. In such cases, the Commission may, on an emergency basis, authorize interim funding of the early stages of the LCP work pr ogram.. CPR will transmit authorization to incur costs in ..carrying out the specified portion of the work program, which will generally consist of data gathering, preliminary review of information, committee organization, mapping, etc. 111-9 LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM APPLICATION FOR FUNDING TOTAL WORK PROGRAM Name of Applicant: -Project Director: Title: .Address: Phone: -Fiscal Officer: Title: Address: Phone: District(s): -Congressional: State Senate: State Assembly: Months Required to Complete Total Work Program: -Total Cost of Program: $ OPR USE ONLY Grant Requested for Grant Date Received: Period 7/1/77 to 6/30/78 $ (OPR) Assigned To: (Commission) 1.

Grant Payments UP to 75% of the expenses incurred in carrying out the work des- cribed in the Total Work Program, or that portion of the Work Program 111-21 covered by a single grant period, may be reimbursed during the course of the grant period. The reimbursement payments will generally be tied to the completion of products specified in the Work Program. Reimbursement requests should be supported by program documents and should.be only for the amount of funds expended in preparing the . document or products. "Request for Reimbursement" forms are shown ,on the following pages. OPR and Commission staff will approve reimbursement payments based on review of the products. For all such partial payments, jurisdictions should normally receive grant payments within 45 days of their request. The final payment for expenses incurred during each grant period will be made after the completion report and all products have been submitted and-reviewed. In special cases where long.periods without products or local fiscal constraints cause difficulties for a grantee, OPR may agree to alterna- tive procedures allowing for interim support. Measurable progress on the LCP should be noted in the schedule to accommodate such interim support. 111-22 REQUEST FOR FUNDS COASTAL GRANTS Page I of 2 TO: Office of Planning and Research Commigiity Assistance Division 1400 Tenth Street Sacramento, CA 95814 FROM: Grant Recipient: Address: Agreement No: Total Federal Grant: $ Percentage of project completed: Percentage of funds requested todate: Period cove-red by this request: Proi'ect Costs Cost of project this period: $ Previously reported costs: $ @0. &L4- : Total costs -I- Ce $ Grant amount requested this per-Jod: $ Cash grant received to. date: $ Cash grant disbursed to date: $ Cash grant an hand: $ Estimate of next mon.;.- thvs needs: $ Project director, hereby certify that the above costs were incurred in the, perz -iormance al;: work required under Grant Agreement No. M;LKE Cll--= 114 SUM OF $ (Grant amount current-ly re- quested) PAYABLEE TO: Sianature: Date: 0 0 OT W R 3 -ELOW THIS LZI ZT Acoroved for Payment Data: Administrative Services Of-ficer ?lease attach, one copy of program d ocuments for which billing is made.
