All proposed development projects in communities that are within the coastal zone require review and permitting by the California Coastal Commission. A separate Land Use Element called the Santa Barbara County Coastal Plan has been developed for communities within the coastal zone. Generally, the coastal zone extends from the coast inland 1,000 yards and includes Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands.
