B. Relationship to Coastal Land Use Plan. This Implementation Plan is the primary tool used by the City to carry out the goals, objectives, and policies of the Coastal Land Use Plan. It is intended that all provisions of this Implementation Plan be consistent with the Coastal Land Use Plan and that any development, land use, or subdivision approved in compliance with these regulations will also be consistent with the Coastal Land Use Plan, and if the proposed development is located between the first public road and the sea or the shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone, any approved development must be in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act.

However, in no case shall the policies of the Coastal Land Use Plan be interpreted to allow a development to exceed a development limit established by the General Plan or its implementing ordinances.
