CDPs are an attempt to bridge this divide by allowing districts to self-direct their development.
This is completely correct, however each district contains a "large local landowner" who can outvote the people who actually live there.
PCDP was given the force of law in 2008, but the nice folks at Planning have decided they don't have to follow the CDPs if they don't feel like it.
When you have representatives outside your unique geographical location, they may find a measure completely inappropriate for their region and therefore vote against what another region may need.
This pattern repeats itself again on a smaller scale: the various huge subdivisions also want different things, so any plan which encompasses all these becomes a "lowest common denominator".
Trade up to what?
Start with: those leaving LZ1/LZ2 get preferential access to the tax foreclosure auction when "trading up" to LZ3 or better.
Camping passes would work how?
In lieu of a Certificate of Occupancy; side effect is that any "camping" structure doesn't become a first-class building (taxes, insurance, "loss").
