- State Land Use District and County zoning, with the dimensional rules for the base district from Chapter 25
- The County General Plan land use map (LUPAG) for the lot
- Special Management Area and Important Agricultural Lands
- FEMA flood zone, tsunami evacuation zone, sea level rise with 3.2 ft, and wildfire risk
- Cesspool and on-site wastewater records, and nearby wells
- Elevation, slope and sun exposure from the USGS lidar elevation, and a 3D view of the lot with the lot line lined up to the lidar survey
