All projects within the Coastal Zone (i.e., having an overlay zone designation SD-3) that require a coastal development permit must be consistent with the updated Coastal LUP, including projects that are in process and have not received a coastal development permit approval. The updated Coastal LUP does not include changes to the Zoning Ordinance and all projects in the Coastal Zone will continue to be regulated by Title 28 Coastal Zoning Ordinance.
