agency action to protect the scenic appearance of the Scenic
Corridor. The Scenic Corridor presently contains a distinctive
character that is exemplified in three primary natural features

terrain, the winding river and the eucalyptus tree windbreaks.
The foremost purpose of this chapter is to maintain the character
they exemplify by retaining or expanding the impact of these
natural features.
The (SC) Zone is established to be combined with other
zones within the Scenic Corridor (e.g., R-1 (SC)). The regula-
tions which apply to property in any zone with which the (SC)
Zone is combined shall remain the same, except as to the matters
specified in this Chapter 18.59. This chapter shall apply in lieu
