Land Use Activities

This page covers various Land Use activities of the NCAC, including site visits, upcoming committee meetings, referrals and other land use issues.

Also included on the Land Use page will be items of general community interest involving land use decisions, whether or not they involve county referrals. These might include the decisions on the Chumash National Marine Sanctuary and the experimental wind farms proposed for the Morro Bay and Cambria areas.

The Land Use Committee reviews County land use proposals and makes recommendations concerning their impact on the Community such as compatibility, flooding and drainage, emergency services, disaster planning, traffic, public transit, etc. The Land Use Committee compares projects to requirements as outlined in the North Coast Area Plan and Coastal Zone Land Use Ordinance Title 23.
