Scenic and Cultural Resources
|
San Clemente residents and visitors enjoy spectacular scenic resources and unique cultural resources, as described in the Community Profile [http://san-clemente.org/sc/Services/Planning/Centennial/SCProfile_FINAL.pdf]. The Coastal Act [http://www.coastal.ca.gov/coastact.pdf] policies require the protection of scenic coastal areas and the preservation of cultural resources. Scenic resources include coastal bluffs, coastal canyons, natural landforms and designated scenic view corridors from publicly-owned properties and along or through public rights-of-way, as defined in the Coastal Act and/or designated by the City.
Historic and cultural resources include sites, districts, structures and distinctive landscapes that convey the City’s unique cultural, historical, or architectural heritage. Distinctive cultural resources in the Coastal Zone are located in, but are not limited to, the Del Mar/T-Zone, North Beach, Los Molinos and Pier Bowl areas, as further discussed in the Land Use Element [link to LUE Homepage].
