Use Permits
• Neighborhood Action Group v.
County of Calaveras (1984) 156
Cal.App.3d 1176, [203 CR 401]:
Provides that use permits (but not
exclusively such permits) must be
consistent with the local general
plan. While state statutes do not
expressly require such consistency,
it follows that such consistency
is nevertheless required,
since use permits are struck from
the mold of local zoning, and zoning
must conform to the adopted
general plan.
Zoning
• Government Code Section 65860:
Requires that zoning ordinances
in counties, general law cities, and
charter cities with a population of
over 2,000,000 be consistent with
