§ 1403 Inland Areas Definition

This law tells us that “Inland areas” means all of California except three special places: the coastal lands run by the State Coastal Conservancy, the Santa Monica Mountains Zone, and the Lake Tahoe lands run by the California Tahoe Conservancy.

Key Takeaways

  • •“Inland areas” = whole state minus three special zones.
  • •The special zones are managed by the State Coastal Conservancy, the Santa Monica Mountains Zone, and the California Tahoe Conservancy.
  • •This definition is used by other laws to decide which rules apply to a piece of land.

Example

A family wants to build a new playground on a piece of land they own in the Sierra Nevada foothills.

Because the foothills are not part of the coastal zone, the Santa Monica Mountains, or the Lake Tahoe area, the land counts as an “Inland area” under this law, so the family can follow the regular rules for inland projects.
