The layer was made more accurate by removing areas within Scenic Resource Areas and areas within 100' of streams. Santa Cruz County Code Chapter 13.20: http://www.codepublishing.com/ca/santacruzcounty/html/SantaCruzCounty13/SantaCruzCounty1320.html These data were compiled from many different sources; therefore, the accuracy of the individual layers varies significantly, and some layers do not align exactly with others.
