§ 30.52.010. Purpose.

A.

The BSC Overlay Zone is designed to protect the health, safety, and general welfare, and to control the development of properties within the designated zone in order to preserve the scenic sandstone bluffs and related canyons and steep slopes which characterize the area within the zone. The overlay zone is also intended to protect downstream resources from the adverse impacts of erosion and sedimentation. The unique landforms within the zone provide visual relief and diversity within the City, and they define and separate neighborhoods, enhance the overall quality of Del Mar's local coastal environment, and preserve the economic integrity of our visitor-oriented community.

B.

Bluff, Slope and Canyon (BSC) Overlay Zone is further designed to carry out the applicable goals, objectives, and policies of the Community Plan including, but not limited to, the applicable element of the Del Mar Community Plan's Bluff, Slope and Canyon Precise Plan.
