13.10.170 General Plan consistency.

(a) Consistency Requirement. The Zoning Plan and Regulations established by this chapter shall be consistent with the General Plan. “Consistent with” as used in this section means that the allowable uses and development standards established by this chapter and the Zoning Plan created pursuant to Section 13.10.210 are in harmony with and compatible with the County General Plan including the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan, and that they implement the objectives, policies and programs of the General Plan and do not inhibit or obstruct the orderly attainment of the General Plan within its time frame.
(b) Discretionary Uses. Land uses which are allowed by discretionary approval shall be deemed to be consistent with the General Plan, provided the approving body finds such consistency before approving the use.
(c) Maintaining Consistency. The Zoning Plan and regulations established by this chapter shall not be amended out of conformity with the General Plan. Whenever an amendment to either the Zoning Ordinance or the General Plan is considered, a concurrent amendment to the other document shall be considered where necessary to maintain consistency.
(d) Consistent Zone Districts. The following table denotes the basic and combining districts which implement and are consistent with the various General Plan land use, resource and constraint designations. Rezoning of a property to a zone district which is shown in the following Zone Implementation Table as implementing the designation applicable to the property, shall not constitute an amendment of the Local Coastal Program, unless it involves rezoning to “M-3” in the Coastal zone.
