SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The rezoning of these parcels was required as a condition of approval of two lot line adjustments (Minor Subdivision Committee Resolution Nos. 96007 and 03009) to limit the density on the parcels. The rezoning will limit the development density on the parcels to one unit on the 11.46 acre parcel (APN 243-201-013-000) and three units on the 598.41 acre parcel (APNs 241-221-012-000 and 243-201-012-000). The proposed rezoning is exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 which exempts actions by regulatory agencies for the protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. This rezoning is protective of the environment because it reduces development potential.
The Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution of intent to approve this Coastal Implementation Plan (CIP) amendment on January 24, 2012 (Attachment C), and staff subsequently submitted the proposed amendment to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) for certification. On May 9, 2012, the CCC held a hearing to consider certification of the proposed amendment and unanimously certified the amendment as submitted (Attachment B). Per State regulations and Section 20.94.030.D.7 of the Monterey County Code (Title 20), in order for the amendment to take effect, the Board must acknowledge receipt of the Coastal Commission certification of amendment, formally adopt the certified amendment, and transmit the amendment to the CCC for confirmation. The ordinance amending the CIP is included as Attachment A.
FINANCING:
Funding for staff time associated with this project is included in the FY11-12 Final Budget for the Planning Department.
