Local Coastal Program Technical Edits

Since August 2021, all portions of the County’s Local Coastal Program Amendments have been approved by the Board of Supervisors and certified by the Coastal Commission, with the exception of chapters related to coastal environmental hazards, which remain the subject of on-going work and public input.

As a result, the County is now applying a hybrid Local Coastal Program (referred to as the 2021 Local Coastal Program), containing all currently applicable documents of the Local Coastal Program, including both the new Land Use Plan and Implementation Plan, as well as the 1982 Local Coastal Program policies and provisions related to environmental hazards.

Planning Division staff has applied this 2021 Local Coastal Program to new development in the Coastal Zone for over a year now and, in doing so, has identified a number of corrections and cross indexing clarifications that should be made to ensure that the 2021 Local Coastal Program is appropriately implemented and contained within one document. No substantive changes are proposed as part of this project.

Please email any questions or comments to Kathleen Kilgariff or send written comments on the LCP Technical Edits to:

County of Marin
Community Development Agency

San Rafael, CA 94903

The project will be brought before both the Marin County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors and, ultimately, the California Coastal Commission for consideration.
