(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.
(Amended by Stats. 2002, Ch. 595, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2003.)
