The uses below have been copied from pages 144-150 the Coastal Commission Staff Report dated July 9, 2014. All of the staff report changes have been incorporated into the L.A. County land use and implementation plans.

The following are approved uses.

Their approval depends upon zoning areas and differing degrees of permitting activity required for approval. Please refer to pages 144-150 the Coastal Commission Staff Report for specifics.
