Description: This dataset is a mapped inventory of ocean front tax lots and the status of their eligibility for beachfront protective structure (BPS) permits. Under Statewide Planning Goal 18, Implementation Requirement #5, BPS may be permitted only where development existed on January 1, 1977. Development is defined as houses, commercial and industrial buildings, vacant subdivision lots which are physically improved through construction of streets AND provision of utilities to the lot, and where a Goal 18 development exception has already been approved. Status determinations delineated in the shapefile include: 1. Developed (therefore eligible for BPS permit under Goal 18); 2. Not developed (therefore not eligible for BPS permit); 4. Eligible under a prior Goal 18 exception; and 5. Lot is assumed to be undevelopable (most likely because that tax lot is completely or mostly within the intertidal beach area; check Comments field for additional information). A Goal 18 Status of 6 exists only for ocean front tax lots in Rockaway Beach. These lots are subject to a Goal 18 exception, but also subject to the City's ocean setback line, and so have to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Please see the City Planner in Rockaway Beach for specifics on the eligbility for these ocean front tax lots, This version of the dataset replaces an earlier version created in 2005. Note: The earlier dataset contained a Goal 18 Status of #3 Undetermined, which meant the eligibility status could not be determined, most likely because it would have required more time and effort to make a determination decision than could be afforded at that time. This designation is no longer applicable in the new (2014) dataset because every coastal tax lot now contains a clear eligibility designation as described above. This is why the G18 Status field contains non-consecutive numbers.
