Chapter 4 of the planning act enables cities and counties to regu)late the
use of land in harder to protect the public health, ;safety and general welfare.
Recent amendments "to„the zoning law require a closer relationship between the
' objectives, policies, and land uses of the general plan and the regulatory
devices provided for in the zoning ordinance.
Section 65860 consistency of zoning with the general plan
1 County ar city zoning ordinances shall; be cons istent, w t-h
the general plan of the county or,city by Januar 1, lg74, `
A zoning ordinance; shall be consi-stent with -a city or city or
general plan only if:
a. The city or county has officially adopter such a plan
and
b The various land uses authorized by"th.o ordinance are
compatible with the objectives, policies, general land
uses and programs-specified in such'a plan.
2. Any resident or property owner within a city or a county, as
` the case may be, may bring an action in the Superior Court to
enforcecompliance with the provislions of subdivision (a)., Any
such action or proceedings shall be governed by Chapter 2 '(c,om-
menacing with Section 1084) of Title 1 of Part 3 t5 the Code of
Civil Procedure. Any action or oroceed`ings °taken pursuant to
the' provisions of this subsection must be. taken within six
ti
months of Januar 1
_ y, 1874, or within 90 days of the enactment'
,
of; any new zoning ordinance or the amendment of any existing
zoning ordinance as to said amendment or amendments.
3': In the event That d zoning ordinance becomes' inconsistent with
element l plan by reason Of amendment to such a plan, or 'to any
el
a ement of such a plan, such zoning ordinance shall be,amended
within a reasonable time so that it is consistent with the general';'
plan as amended.
The requirement that there be consistency between the zoning ordinance and the
general plan emphasizes the importance of clearly defining they purpose and nature
of the zoning ordineice as having immediate force and effect on each arcel of,
hand and thegeneral plan as a body of long range nublicolic. Although'many
general plans are becoming more comprehensive and at the same time more detailed,
the plan is intended to provide a broad base of policy for guiding decisions, On

to the County., The {State mandated the General Plan several years ago. The
County went through and established the County's General Plan. This Genervil

that could be pursued. He said Mr. Amo!,a: could continue to operate the business
at the present place of business; this is in an open land zone. Issuance of d
