Coastal greenway management plans shall include a description of all proposed alterations and methods of avoiding problem areas such as the proper placement and maintenance of pathways. Applicants should consult the Council's most recent edition of Urban Coastal Greenway Design Manual when preparing a coastal greenway management plan.
