3.6 Land and Water Use
The Del Mar receiver site involves ungranted sovereign land under the jurisdiction of the CSLC. As such,
authorization from the CSLC would be required for implementation of the proposed action.
Land Use Policies
The EnvironmentalManagement chapter of the City's Community Plan (1976) identifies beach erosion and
sand loss as severe problems. Towards that end, the City's Community Plan identifies the following
objective.
Goal 1J.
Restore environmentally degraded areas to the high quality standards
implied in the objectives above.
This goal strives for consistency with standards provided elsewhere in the Environmental Management
chapter. In addition, the more recent LCP for the City (1993) indicates the critical need to implement sand
replenishment programs to protect property, structures, and coastal bluffs. For instance:
Goal III-5
Continue to study and implement shoreline management and
replenishment programs applicable to the Oceanside littoral cell
through participation in the activities of the regional organizations
and agencies...
The City of Del Mar passed an initiative in 1988 that created a Beach Overlay Zone (BOZ). According
to the City's LCP Land Use Plan, the BOZ:
regulates the uses of the Del Mar beach area, a distinct and valuable natural
resource, for the benefit of present and future generations. The regulations...shall
be administered so as to protect public access to and along the shoreline, while
promoting public safety, health and welfare, and providing for the protection of
private property.
Beach Overlay Zone regulations restrict development in the BOZ so as to minimize erosion effects along
the City's coastline. However, BOZ regulations for development projects do not apply to sand
replenishment projects as described below:
