The Marin County Local Coastal Program (LCP) is a set of rules that govern development in the coastal zone of Marin County.
It consists of two parts:
- The Land Use Plan (LUP) sets out broad goals and policies for the coastal zone and its unique communities.
- The Coastal Zoning Code (Title 20), also known as the Implementation Plan, provides more detailed requirements and standards for development in the coastal zone.
Additionally, there are updated maps, appendices and information related to Coastal Exclusions.
