2023 California Code › Public Resources Code - PRC › DIVISION 23 - SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY › CHAPTER 1 - General Provisions › Section 33001.

33001. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the Santa Monica Mountains Zone, as defined in Section 33105, is a unique and valuable economic, environmental, agricultural, scientific, educational, and recreational resource that should be held in trust for present and future generations; that, as the last large undeveloped area contiguous to the shoreline within the greater Los Angeles metropolitan region, comprised of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, it provides essential relief from the urban environment; that it exists as a single ecosystem in which changes that affect one part may also affect all other parts; and that the preservation and protection of this resource is in the public interest.
(Amended by Stats. 1999, Ch. 83, Sec. 169. Effective January 1, 2000.)
2023 California Code › Public Resources Code - PRC › DIVISION 23 - SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY › CHAPTER 1 - General Provisions › Section 33002.

33002. The Legislature further finds and declares that prior to the preparation of the plan by the Santa Monica Mountains Comprehensive Planning Commission, planning for the zone was fragmented and there were ineffective means of determining and resolving conflicting interjurisdictional values, or of evaluating individual projects within the zone as to their effect on the entire region; that in the absence of a governmental mechanism to perform such evaluations, piecemeal development projects were occurring within the zone which resulted in the irreplaceable loss of open space and recreational resources, in the physical and biological deterioration of air, land, and water systems within the zone, and adversely affected regional life-support systems, including fish and wildlife, therefore being harmful to the needs of the present and future population of the region.

2023 California Code › Public Resources Code - PRC › DIVISION 23 - SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY › CHAPTER 1 - General Provisions › Section 33003.

33003. The Legislature further finds and declares that the coastal zone portion of the Santa Monica Mountains Zone has been evaluated as part of the California Coastal Zone Conservation Plan, and because of the unique, important, and threatened nature of the coastal-related resources within the coastal zone, the Legislature determined that the special coastal resources planning and management program established pursuant to the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000)) should apply within the coastal zone and that the local coastal program required by such act should be completed in a timely and effective manner by local governments and certified by the California Coastal Commission. It is the intent of the Legislature to facilitate early completion of local coastal programs for the coastal zone portion of the Santa Monica Mountains Zone and that accordingly the jurisdiction of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy should be extended to include, at the time of certification, those portions of the coastal zone for which a local coastal program has been certified.

2023 California Code › Public Resources Code - PRC › DIVISION 23 - SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY › CHAPTER 1 - General Provisions › Section 33004.

S.C. Sec. 460kk(n)), the conservancy shall primarily operate outside the public ownership area of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area as identified by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to Section 507(d)(2) of the National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C.

2023 California Code › Public Resources Code - PRC › DIVISION 23 - SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY › CHAPTER 1 - General Provisions › Section 33008.

33008. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that there are existing problems of substandard lots, incompatible land uses, conflicts with recreational use, and inadequate resource protection which, in some cases, cannot be addressed in a feasible manner by local government exercise of the police power or federal land acquisition as part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, and that it is necessary to enact the provisions of this division as a complement to the full exercise of the police power by local governments and the acquisition of lands by the federal government for the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
(b) The Legislature further finds and declares that the people of the State of California have an interest in the protection of resources and the use of lands acquired or managed by the conservancy pursuant to this division, and that the conservancy in carrying out its duties pursuant to this division acts on behalf of the State of California.
(c) This division does not authorize the conservancy to regulate private property, nor does it supersede or limit a local government’s exercise of the police power, over private property, derived from any other provision of existing law or any law hereafter enacted.

(2) The conservancy shall determine potential boundary revisions of the Rim of the Valley Trail Corridor for the area within the city limits of the City of Moorpark; the area north of the city limits and south of Broadway Road between Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park and Grimes Canyon Road; and the area west of the city limits of the City of Moorpark, south of Los Angeles Avenue, north of the Arroyo Simi, and east of the Gabbert Canyon Drainage Channel.

33206. The conservancy may lease lands acquired in accordance and for purposes consistent with this division. Revenue from leases of land acquired with funds granted pursuant to Section 507(n) of the National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. Sec. 460kk(n)) shall be deposited in the federal grant account in the fund and shall be available for the purposes of this division when authorized by the Secretary of the Interior. When leases are made to private individuals or private nonprofit tax-exempt organizations of lands acquired pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 33204, the conservancy shall annually, upon appropriation of such amounts by the Legislature, transfer 24 percent of the gross income of such leases to the county in which such lands are situated.
The county shall distribute any payment received by it pursuant to this section to itself, to each revenue district for which the county assesses and collects real property taxes or assessments, and to every other taxing agency within the county in which the property is situated. The amount distributable to the county and each such revenue district or other taxing agency shall be proportionate to the ratio which the amount of the taxes and assessments of each on similar real property similarly situated within that part of the county embracing the smallest in the area of the revenue districts or other taxing agencies other than the county, levied for the fiscal year next preceding, bears to the combined amount of the taxes and assessments of all such districts and agencies, including the county, on such property levied for that year. The county auditor shall determine and certify the amount distributable to the board of supervisors, which shall thereupon order the making of the distribution.
Any money distributed pursuant to this section to any county, revenue district, or other taxing agency shall be deposited to the credit of the same fund as any taxes or assessments on any taxable similar real property similarly situated.
Where a county receives a payment pursuant to this section in an amount of twenty-five dollars ($25) or less in respect to any parcel of leased property, all of such payment shall be distributed to the county for deposit in the county general fund.

33207. (a) Areas offered for open-space dedication or trail easement by any person, and lands offered for sale because of tax delinquency, shall not be lost to public use if they are necessary to meet any of the provisions of this division. The conservancy shall serve as a repository for these lands and interest in land and for this purpose may accept dedication of fee title, easements, development rights, or other interests.
(b) The conservancy shall have the first right of refusal on any property within the zone presently owned by a public agency and scheduled for disposal as excess lands, except where such lands are designated for acquisition as a park or recreation area by a federal, state, or local agency.

The disposing agency shall have the right of first refusal to reacquire property which was acquired by the conservancy pursuant to this division at the price paid by the conservancy before any administrative costs incurred by the conservancy when the land is not to be used for the purposes of this division and is to be sold by the Real Estate Services Division of the Department of General Services.
