(b) Ordinance No. 7631 (N.S.), adopted on May 31, 1989, enacting regulations entitled, "Resource Protection Ordinance", contained the following text explaining its relationship to previously existing regulations:
"This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its adoption. However, Ordinance Number 7521 (N.S.), An Interim Ordinance Requiring Certain Discretionary Permits in the Unincorporated Territory of San Diego County to be Consistent With the Sensitive Land Ordinance, as extended and amended by Ordinance Numbers 7549 (N.S.), 7595 (N.S.), and 7596 (N.S.) is in effect until June 30, 1989, and said Ordinances regulate the same matter as will be regulated by the Resource Protection Ordinance. Therefore, this Resource Protection Ordinance shall not become operative until the expiration of the said Ordinance Numbers 7521 (N.S.), 7549 (N.S.), 7595 (N.S.), and 7596 (N.S.), and shall become operative immediately upon such expiration.
"... This Ordinance intends to carry forward many of the regulations contained within Ordinance No. 7521 (N.S.), 7549 (N.S.), 7595 (N.S.), and 7596 (N.S.), with further modifications. Therefore, the application provisions of this Ordinance (at Article III, Section 1 above) [see now Section 86.603 (a) above] relate back to dates when said prior Ordinances were enacted or amended. Any decision on a project subject to the Interim Sensitive Lands Ordinance made on or after June 30, 1989 shall be based upon the regulations in the Resource Protection Ordinance."
