SEC. 17-21. COD, COASTAL OIL DEVELOPMENT, SUB-ZONE.
   (A)   Purpose - The purpose of the COD sub-zone is to provide areas to explore for and develop known oil and natural gas resources. This sub-zone shall be applied only to existing known fields as designated by the State Division of Oil and Gas, and shall not be applied in residential or environmentally sensitive habitat areas (Policy 63). In the event that oil and/or gas deposits are believed to be present in an area not presently designated for oil and gas production activities, an amendment to the coastal land use plan and rezoning of the affected property will be required with appropriate permits prior to commencing with the exploration or production activities. All development within the COD sub-zone shall be consistent with the policies of the Oxnard coastal land use plan (Chapter 3), while employing the best available control technology (BACT) to minimize adverse effects upon public access to the beach, as well as to protect visual resources and environmentally sensitive habitat areas.
