ANALYSIS : This resolution makes the following
legislative findings:
1. In 1972, California voters passed Proposition 20, which
enacted the California Coastal Zone Conservation Act of
1972 by a majority vote of 55.1%; and, Proposition 20
created the California Coastal Commission as part of the
state's first coastal management program for the
protection of significant coastal resources and public
access.
2. Proposition 20 provides the framework for creating the
California Coastal Plan; and, the Legislature heeded
many of the recommendations in the plan by passing
Senate Bill 1277 (Smith), Chapter 1330, Statutes of
1976, which enacted the California Coastal Act of 1976.
3. Since the passage of Proposition 20, the state has
created 2,000 new public accessways; designated over 500
miles of the California Coastal Trail; protected
thousands of acres of beaches, wetlands, woodlands, and
dunes from inappropriate development; and, prevented new
offshore oil leasing in federal waters minimizing the
risk of a catastrophic marine oil spill.
4. Since the passage of Proposition 20, the state has
encouraged, supported, and approved important public
infrastructure and energy facilities; and, appropriately
sited and designed commercial, residential and
visitor-serving development within the coastal zone, as
evidenced by the $40 billion coastal economy and the 100
million annual visitors.
5. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the passage of
Proposition 20; and, Californians continue their ongoing
support for coastal protection through volunteer
activities including Coastal Cleanup Day, the largest
all-volunteer annual activity in the state.
