Description: California's coastal management program is carried out through a partnership between state and local governments. Each of the 15 counties and 61 cities located in whole or in part within the Coastal Zone is required to prepare a local coastal program (LCP) that specifies land use and zoning for their respective areas. After certification of an LCP, coastal development permit authority is delegated to the appropriate local government except in certain areas, and the Coastal Commission retains appellate authority over certain types of development and development approved by local governments in specified geographic areas. This dataset provides an current cadastral (parcel-based) depiction of the Coastal Commission's geographic appeal jurisdiction boundary pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 30603(a), PRC Section 30613, and California Code of Regulations (CCR) Sections 13577 within the Santa Monica Mountains LCP Segment of Los Angeles County.The geographic appeal boundary is a critical element in both the regulatory and planning programs undertaken by the Coastal Commission and depicts areas where coastal development permits approved by local governments may be appealed to the Coastal Commission. The development of the geographic appeal boundary dataset is part of an effort to create updated digital cadastral jurisdiction boundaries. The appeal jurisdiction is defined in PRC Section 30603(a) as including areas between the sea and the first public road paralleling the sea (FPR) or within 300 feet of the inland extent of any beach or of the mean high tide line (MHTL) of the sea where there is no beach, whichever is the greater distance; areas located on tidelands, submerged lands or public trust lands, and areas within 100 feet of any wetland, estuary or stream, or within 300 feet of the top of the seaward face of any coastal bluff. California Code of Regulations Sections 13577(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) specify further definitions and boundary determination criteria for each of the geographic appeal jurisdiction boundary components.

Description: The State Scenic Highway Program was created in 1963 to protect and enhance the natural scenic beauty of California highways and adjacent corridors through special conservation treatment. The LA County Scenic Highway Plan was created to conform to the State Scenic Highway Program.

Description: PRC 4201 - 4204 and Govt. Code 51175-89 direct the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to map areas of significant fire hazards based on fuels, terrain, weather, and other relevant factors. These zones, referred to as Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ), define the application of various mitigation strategies to reduce risk associated with wildland fires. CAL FIRE is remapping Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) for State Responsibility Areas (SRA) and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) recommendations in Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) to provide updated map zones, based on new data, science, and technology. This specific dataset provides FHSZs within SRA lands only, and represents the proposed zones, subject to changes based on local hearings. A subsequent dataset release will provide the actual adopted zones. Maps of the proposed zones in SRA are available at: http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/fhz.html More information about the project can be found at: http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/hazard.html
Copyright Text: CAL FIRE recoginzes the important contribution of various local government entities that contributed data, maps, and comments that were critical components of the FHSZ mapping process.
