GENERAL TALKING POINTS (these
will be updated)
- Preservation of the rural character of the Naples area
as the overarching goal which the community should ask of
the decision makers.
- Ask the County to treat the entire project
as one project and not process development in the inland
portion before the coastal portion.
- Ask decision makers to require the
entire project to be completely processed, including Coastal
Commission action BEFORE the following actions:
1.
Before implementation of LCP Policy 2-13’s requirement
for transfer of development, and
2. Before approval of a new
zone district, and
3. Before the County’s
final action on inland permits.
- The new zone district should limit house sizes
to compatibility with existing Gaviota Coast averages, but
in no case should they be larger than 5,000 sq. ft.
- Design precepts
included in any new zone district should require green design & building
principals.
- The County should seek opportunities to allow for
the purchase of land or easements to reduce the amount of
development.
- Support the Naples Coalition Alternative concepts as
the only pathway for the development to take without strong
public opposition. (See website for details.)
