66679
. (a) The city, in consultation with the county, the
commission, the department, and other affected local, state, and
federal agencies, has previously prepared a draft White Slough
Specific Area Plan proposal as a first step toward the orderly,
long-range conservation, use, and management of the natural, scenic,
recreational, and manmade resources of White Slough.
(b) On or before January 1, 1996, the city and the county shall
jointly adopt a final plan which shall include a specific wetlands
enhancement segment for the area of White Slough. Provided that no
other feasible measures are devised during the environmental review
process which have fewer environmental impacts and which accomplish
the goals of this chapter, this plan shall include the permanent
protection and enhancement of at least 336 acres of tidal wetlands
within White Slough and 132 acres of tidally influenced areas in
South White Slough, provide for the minimum amount of fill, not to
exceed 13 acres, necessary to widen State Highway Route 37 to a
four-lane highway and to construct interchanges between State Highway
Route 37 and State Highway Route 29 and Sacramento Street, provide
flood protection for upland areas, provide for suitable water
quality, and provide for wetlands enhancement for all tidally
influenced areas of South White Slough, including a program for the
acquisition, enhancement, and permanent preservation of those areas.
(c) Not later than 30 days after adoption of the final plan by the
city and the county, the city and the county shall submit the plan
to the commission for review. The commission shall approve or
disapprove the plan within 45 days of submittal on the basis of
whether the plan meets the objectives of Sections 66677 and 66680 and
includes changes to the relevant city and relevant county general
and specific plans and includes proposed city ordinances and county
ordinances necessary to implement the plan.
(d) Upon approval of the plan by the commission and the adoption
by the city and the county of necessary changes to the general and
specific plans and implementing ordinances, the plan shall be the
primary basis for reviewing applications for state and local permits
for projects affecting White Slough. A permit shall be issued only if
the permitting entity finds that the proposed project is consistent
with the plan and the requirements of this chapter.
(e) After adoption, no changes shall be made in the plan or the
implementing ordinances without the prior notification and approval
of the commission.
