Title 8. ZONING |
Division 82. GENERAL REGULATIONS |
Chapter 82-1. 65/35 LAND PRESERVATION PLAN |
§ 82-1.030. No violation of law by this chapter.
(a)
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed or interpreted in such a manner as to operate to deprive any landowner of substantially all of the market value of his or her property or otherwise constitute an unconstitutional taking without compensation. If application of any of the provisions of this chapter to any specific project or landowner would create an unconstitutional taking, then the board of supervisors may allow additional land uses, otherwise adjust permit requirements or take such other actions to the extent necessary to avoid what otherwise might be construed to be a taking. Any such additional land uses or other adjustments shall be designed to carry out the goals and provisions of this chapter to the maximum extent feasible.
(b)
Nothing contained in this chapter shall constitute an amendment of the existing general plan. Upon approval of this chapter by the voters, the county shall take all necessary and appropriate steps to reflect the policies of the 65/35 land preservation plan in the new general plan for the county, consistent with the requirements of CEQA and the State Planning Law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the county from complying with applicable requirements of state law relating to the adoption and amendment of general plans.
