Sand City Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-06 · Sand City

§ 18.52.010. Purpose.

The purpose of the CZ RM district is to consider potential environmentally sensitive habitat areas in the coastal zone that require consideration to protect identified resources against disruption of habitat values consistent with policies contained in the Local Coastal Land Use Plan. The CZ RM district is an overlay district to be combined with other districts designated in the ordinance codified in this title.

(Ord. 84-1 §27-1)

§ 18.52.020. Permitted Uses, Subject to Coastal Development Permit Approval.

Permitted uses in the CZ RM district, subject to coastal development permit approval are as follows: uses in the underlying zone district are permitted only after approval of a biological survey, habitat protection plan and specific plan (if required) which demonstrates that the habitat can be consolidated, enhanced, preserved, or consolidated off-site pursuant to standards established in the Local Coastal Land Use Plan.

(Ord. 84-1 §27-2)

§ 18.52.030. Minimum Requirements.

Minimum requirements in the CZ RM district are as follows:

  • A. A biological field survey and habitat protection plan is required prior to the approval of any development or specific plan which may affect habitat preserve areas to determine exact locations of sensitive habitat areas and to recommend mitigation measures to minimize habitat impacts according to standards established in the Local Coastal Land Use Plan. If the plan includes habitat relocation or offsite restoration activities, it shall be forwarded to the Department of Fish and Game for review and approval. Plans involving rare or endangered species should also be forwarded to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for consultation.

  • B. New uses proposed adjacent to locations of identified environmentally sensitive habitats shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade such areas, and shall be compatible with the continuance of such habitat areas based on standards set forth by the City in the Local Coastal Land Use Plan.

  • C. Projects within identified environmentally sensitive habitat areas shall utilize only native coastal plants in landscaping plans.

  • D. Permanent protection shall be ensured for areas designated as habitat preserves as determined by the required field survey and habitat management plan through easements or dedications to public agencies to be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and/or the executive director of the Coastal Commission pursuant to CZ "review of legal documents" provisions.
