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 is an attributed, cadastral (parcel-based) digital representation of the Coastal Commission's adopted Post LCP Certification geographic appeal jurisdiction boundary identified pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 30603(a), PRC Section 30613, and California Code of Regulations (CCR) Sections 13577 within the City. 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.
