In addition, portions of the Implementing Ordinances (zoning code) were revised to incorporate new residential standards addressing the needs of senior citizens and low and moderate income persons. allow for density bonuses, relaxation of existing development standards and financial incentives to encourage the construction of affordable housing. However, before the LCP amendment can be deemed certified, the Executive Director must determine that implementation of the approved amendments will be consistent with the Commission's certification order. This is necessary because the amendment was certified with suggested modifications. In order for the Executive Director to make this determination, the local government must formally acknowledge receipt of the Commission's resolution of certification, including any terms or suggested modifications; accept and agree to those terms and modifications; take any formal action which is required to satisfy them, such as adoption of revised ordinances incorporating the suggested language modifications; and agree to issue coastal development permits consistent with the amendments, as certified. As soon as the necessary documentation is received in this office, and accepted, the Executive Director will report his/her determination to the Commission at its next regularly scheduled pub1 i c hearing. If you have any questions about the Commission's action or this final certification procedure, please contact our office. A copy of the suggested modifications, as adopted by the Coastal Commission, is attached for your reference. - ~ _-- c- -7 -___p The modifications would Thank you and the other staff members who worked on this planning Gary Wayne September 5, 1996 Page 2 effort mutual in any coas ta It took some time but I think our coordination effort resulted in a y-acceptable result.
