First mandated in 1979 by the California Coastal Act, the Local Coastal Plan (LCP) serves as an important planning document in managing the conservation and development of the county’s coastal regions.

The current Local Coastal Plan was written in 1981 and amended in 2001. Permit Sonoma staff and consultants are currently in the process of updating the plan.
