§ 21.91.010. Purpose.

The primary purpose of this Chapter is to set forth regulations governing amendments to the 2010 Monterey County General Plan and future comprehensive updates to the 2010 General Plan ("general plan"). Because the 2010 Monterey County General Plan is applicable only in the noncoastal, unincorporated area of the County, these regulations apply only to general plan amendments affecting the noncoastal unincorporated area of the County. These regulations are intended to maintain the overall integrity of the general plan, as may be periodically comprehensively updated, by requiring early assessment of proposed amendments, requiring comprehensive and cumulative review of proposed amendments, limiting the number of times each year the general plan may be amended, and by identifying the limited circumstances under which general plan amendments may be approved.
