The following definitions shall apply to Rural Residential Matrix Determinations in addition to those found in the General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan glossary.
(a) Allowable Average Density. The matrix system shall allow averaging of parcel sizes in order to obtain required lot sizes. (No lot may be created, however, through use of the averaging provision which would be smaller than an absolute minimum parcel size established by the General Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan within the Coastal Zone except where allowed by a Development Permit.)
When two or more parcels are averaged for the purpose of creating a smaller parcel, the larger parcel(s) shall be appropriately conditioned so that the larger acreage may not be counted again toward other subsequent land divisions, and such conditions be required to be stated as restrictions in any deed conveying the larger acreage.
(b) Area of Proposed Development Activities. Development areas include the portion or portions of the property which would be utilized by proposed development for building sites, septic systems, primary and secondary access roads and other development-related structures or facilities, such as water storage tanks.
(c) Recently Active. A geologic feature (fault trace or landslide) which shows evidence of movement or activity within the last 10,000 years is considered recently active. (Ord. 3026, 12/23/80; 3072, 5/12/81; 3330, 11/23/82; 3434, 8/23/83; 4406, 2/27/96; 4416, 6/11/96)
