-Permit development within the Sea Cliff Erosion Area (RM 1) only if demon-
strated, through detailed geologic analysis, that the design and setbacks are
adequate to insure public safety and to maintain physical, biologic, and scenic
resources. Due to the sensitive nature of RM 1, this area is included as an integral
part of a Specific Plan Distric and should be more fully defined.
-Allow only low intensity activities within Resource Management Districts of
extreme slopes (RM 2) .
-Require any development within the Resource Management Districts of high
slopes (RM 3) and old landslide area (RM 5) to perform at least one, and preferably
two, independent engineering studies concerning the geo-technical, soils, and other
stability factors (including seismic considerations) affecting the site.
-Allow no further development involving any human occupancy within the
active landslide area (RM 4) .
-Prohibit activities which create excessive silt, pollutant run-off,
increase canyon-wall erosion, or potential for landslide, within Resource Manage-
ment Districts containing Hydrologic Factors (RM 6) .
-Encourage establishment of the rocky intertidal areas as a marine reserve
and strict enforcement be applied to all regulations concerning marine resources
(Resource Management Districts containing Marine Resources RM 7) .
-Encourage developments within or adjacent to wildlife habitats (RM 8) to
describe the nature of the impact upon the wildlife habitat and provide mitigation
measures to fully offset the impact.
-Encourage developments within Resource, Management Districts containing
Natural Vegetation (RM 9) to revegetate with native material wherever clearing
of vegetation is required.
