Section 07I .0501 - PURPOSE

The Coastal Area Management Act authorizes, but does not require, a city or county in the coastal area to act as a permit-letting agency for minor development permits in areas of environmental concern. These Rules establish the criteria for preparation of local implementation and enforcement plans by local governments. Before a local government can become a permit-letting agency, a plan consistent with these criteria must be submitted to the Coastal Resources Commission for approval. These criteria are provided to assist local government in:

(1) establishing procedures to be followed in developing local implementation and enforcement programs;

(2) establishing the scope and coverage of said programs;

(3) establishing minimum standards to be prescribed in said programs;

(4) establishing staffing requirements of permit-letting agencies;

(5) establishing permit-letting procedures;

(6) establishing priorities of regional and statewide concern;

(7) establishing that the program is consistent with the land use plan.
