2023 California Code › Public Resources Code - PRC › DIVISION 21 - STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY › CHAPTER 8 - Reservation of Significant Coastal Resource Areas › Section 31355.

31355. The conservancy is authorized to lease interest in real property acquired in accordance with this chapter. When the leases are made to private individuals or groups, the conservancy shall annually, upon appropriation of the amounts by the Legislature, transfer 24 percent of the gross income of the leases to the county where the interests in real property 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 where the property is situated. The amount distributable to the county and each revenue district or other taxing agency shall be proportionate to the ratio that 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 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 those districts and agencies, including the county, on the property levied for that year. The county auditor shall determine and certify the amounts distributable to the board of supervisors, that 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 that payment shall be distributed to the county for deposit in the county general fund.

2023 California Code › Public Resources Code - PRC › DIVISION 21 - STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY › CHAPTER 9 - System of Public Accessways › Section 31402.3.

31402.3. (a) To the extent that funds are available in the Coastal Access Account in the State Coastal Conservancy Fund, the conservancy shall open at least three public accessways each year either directly or by awarding grants to public agencies or nonprofit organizations.
(b) The conservancy may transfer public access easements or other less-than-fee interests in property to an appropriate public agency or nonprofit organization for development, management, or public use, or may enter into agreements with public agencies and nonprofit organizations for the development, management, or public use of the accessway. Transfer under this section is not subject to approval by the Department of General Services pursuant to Section 11005.2 of the Government Code. The conservancy shall retain the right to reclaim the easements or other interests in the event that the public agency or nonprofit organization ceases to exist, is no longer able to manage the accessway, or violates the terms of the agreement.
(c) Before a nonprofit organization may accept an offer to dedicate an interest in real property under Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000), the nonprofit organization shall do all of the following:
(1) Submit satisfactory proof to the executive director of the commission that the nonprofit organization has been approved as a tax exempt public benefit corporation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and has filed a Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service.
(2) Submit a management plan to the executive director of the commission and the executive officer of the conservancy that describes the nonprofit organization’s planned management and operation of the interest.
(3) Grant a right of entry that permits the conservancy to reclaim or assign the interest to another public agency or nonprofit organization, if the conservancy and the commission determine that the nonprofit organization is not managing or operating the interest consistent with the management plan developed pursuant to paragraph (2).

31404. When another local public agency is unable or unwilling to take title to an area required for public access to and along the coastline, the department or the conservancy may accept title to such an area. The department or the conservancy, however, shall not be required to open any area for public use when, in its estimation, the benefits of public use would be outweighed by the costs of development and maintenance. The department or the conservancy shall make a determined effort to identify local public agencies and nonprofit organizations which will accept responsibility for maintenance and liability for public accessways which are located outside of the state park system. The department or the conservancy may lease any public access site to a public agency or nonprofit organization; provided, however, that the conditions of such transfer guarantee public use of the site for access to coastal resources.

To the maximum extent possible, such fees shall be expended in the general area where they are collected or in areas where public access to and along the coastline is clearly deficient. The department or the conservancy may transfer funds, including such fees, to a local public agency or nonprofit organization for the purposes of acquisition of sites for public access to and along the coastline.

2023 California Code › Public Resources Code - PRC › DIVISION 21 - STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY › CHAPTER 10 - Lower Cost Coastal Accommodations Program › Section 31411.

31411. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The right of access to the coast is guaranteed to the people of California by the California Constitution and the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000)), which requires that coastal development be regulated, and public access rights to our state’s beaches be protected.
(b) California’s Parks Forward Commission has emphasized the need to expand access to parks and public lands throughout California to ensure that all Californians and visitors to the state, including those from low-income and underserved communities, are able to benefit from outdoor experiences.
(c) Lower cost accommodations, including hotels, motels, hostels, cabins, and camping opportunities, are essential elements of coastal and park access because they enable Californians and visitors from a variety of backgrounds, including those of low and moderate income, to enjoy California’s beaches and parks and experience the full range of recreational, educational, spiritual, and other experiences offered.
(d) A lack of affordable accommodations remains a barrier to coastal access. California’s historic supply of lower cost coastal accommodations has been reduced, and continues to be diminished, as a result of high coastal property values and economic pressures to develop new coastal accommodations that are too expensive to be affordable to most visitors.
(e) California should invest in new strategies and partnerships to improve the availability of lower cost accommodations along the coast, particularly for low-income and middle-income families. A strategic program to provide affordable accommodations in appropriate areas of our coastal parks and public lands can play an important role in improving public access to the coast. California should also support innovative pilot projects that enable the state to partner with nonprofit organizations and the private sector in order to provide coastal access.

31412. (a) The conservancy shall develop and implement a Lower Cost Coastal Accommodations Program to facilitate improvement of existing, and the development of new, lower cost accommodations within one and one-half miles of the coast. In implementing the program, the conservancy may undertake projects and award grants, and shall be guided by the lower cost accommodations assessment required to be developed pursuant to Section 31413.
(b) The program shall include both of the following:
(1) Clear and measurable objectives.
(2) Implementation measures designed to ensure that new or improved accommodation projects supported by the program will be affordable and available to low-income and middle-income families and to nonprofit organizations and public entities that provide young or at-risk populations with education, service learning, healthy living, recreational, or similar opportunities.
(c) The conservancy shall take all of the following actions to develop and implement the program:
(1) Consult with the Department of Parks and Recreation, the California Coastal Commission, local and regional park agencies, open-space districts, and other public agencies regarding development of the accommodations assessment and selection and funding of specific projects to improve existing and new lower cost coastal accommodations.
(2) Engage with parks, conservation, and community groups to ensure that program activities reflect and address community needs and interests.
(3) Provide the department, commission, and other interested agencies and organizations with copies of the completed assessment, as well as technical assistance upon request, for purposes of informing their potential investments in lower cost accommodations along the coast.

The conservancy shall establish criteria for selection of projects that are eligible to receive assistance under the pilot program.
(b) In carrying out a pilot program, the conservancy may do all of the following:
(1) Purchase existing lower cost accommodations from willing sellers and operate those accommodations through leases or operating agreements with qualified regional or local park agencies, concessionaires, or nonprofit organizations.
(2) Purchase existing accommodations from willing sellers and resell them to willing buyers, including private entities.
(3) Provide loans, grants, or other financial assistance to private entities for purposes of acquiring or improving accommodations.
(c) (1) Any project or transaction undertaken pursuant to this section shall be subject to terms and conditions prescribed by the conservancy to ensure that the project or transaction advances the purposes of the program, is based upon the economic soundness of the project itself, and provides a reasonable expectation that all financial obligations of the project can be met by participating parties.
(2) Any sale of real property to a private entity pursuant to this section shall be subject to deed restrictions or other legally enforceable instruments that require the property to be used for the provision of lower cost coastal accommodations for at least 30 years following the date of sale.
(3) Any purchase of property by the conservancy pursuant to this chapter shall not be subject to the Property Acquisition Law (Part 11 (commencing with Section 15850) of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code).
(d) For purposes of this section, accommodations may include, but are not limited to, campgrounds, cabins, hostels, limited stay recreational vehicle parks, motels, and hotels, but shall not include private residences.
