Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 30514(c) and for purposes of this Article, a minor amendment to an LCP or LRDP includes but is not limited to, the following:

(a) changes in wording which make the use as designated in the zoning ordinances, zoning district maps or other implementing actions more specific and which do not change the kind, location, intensity, or density of use and which are found by the executive director of the Commission or the Commission to be consistent with the land use plan as certified by the Commission.

(b) for annexed or detached areas, certification of zoning ordinances, zoning district maps or other implementing actions where either:

(1) the certified land use plan and zoning designations of the city and county jurisdictions of the geographic area are equivalent; or

(3) additions or revisions to certified policies which impose further conditions, restriction or limitations on any use which might adversely affect the resources of the coastal zone, if those amendments do not conflict with any policy of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act or with any other certified land use plan policy.

(e) changes in the kinds, location, intensity or density of uses covering areas specifically certified by the Commission as acceptable alternative land uses that become effective upon the occurrence of specific events authorized in a certified LCP or LRDP, such as annexations or the availability of water or sewer services.
