These documents will be California's coastal policy references for 

 the coming years. Coastal cities and counties will send local plans to 

 the regional and state commissions for approval and certification of 

 conformity with the Act because decisions have to be made on individual 

 applications. The Act prescribes the policies of the state, establishes 

 the California Coastal Commissions, and mandates the local coastal pro- 

 grams. Of particular interest are the policies on industrial development 

 of the Act (sections 30260-30263) which are based on environmental 

 impacts on petroleum development, refineries, tanker terminals, and LNG 

 facilities as set out in the Plan (pp. 117-138). Also useful are the 

 descriptions of the coast by subregions and the summary and plan maps 

 in the Regional Summaries Section of the Plan. Copies of the Plan are 

 available for $4.50 each from the Documents and Publication Branch, 

 P.O. Box 20191, Sacramento, California 95820, and copies of the Act 

 (SB 1277, signed September 29, 1976) from the State Legislature, State 

 Capitol, Sacramento, California 95814.

 1975. 



This study was done in response to the planning mandate of the 

 California Coastal Act of 1972 to provide background data for economic 

 analysis. Data up to 1974 was given by county and region, and for the 

 planning area which extends five miles inland from the ocean. A 1,000- 

 yard boundary (the permit area) was also used in the Statistical Appen- 

 dix. The profile covers geography and climate, public land ownership, 

 population and employment trends, personal income, retail trade, finan- 

 cial institutions, housing, building and construction, home price trends,
