<html:p>The California Coastal Act of 1976 requires, among other things, anyone wishing to perform or undertake any development in the coastal zone, except as specified, in addition to obtaining any other permit required by law from any local government or from any state, regional, or local agency, to obtain a coastal development permit from the California Coastal Commission or a local government, as provided. The act provides that a coastal development permit is not required for specified types of development in specified areas, as provided. </html:p>
<html:p> This bill would authorize a city to designate itself as an urban multimodal community if the city has (1) at least one high-quality transit corridor or transit priority area in the city, (2) adopted plans that include targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fatal and severe injury crashes, and (3) Class
I, Class II, or Class IV bicycle facilities, as defined. If a city meets the criteria to designate itself as an urban multimodal community, the bill would require documentation be submitted to the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation for review and would require the documentation to be posted on the city’s internet website and the city to notify the commission of their submission. The bill would authorize a county to designate an individual local coastal program segment, as defined, as an urban multimodal community so long as the county, among other things, meets the same criteria and process requirements as a city. The bill would provide that a coastal development permit is not required for certain activities and types of development within an urban multimodal community, as specified.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would also provide that a coastal development permit is not required for the installation of Class I, Class II, or Class IV bicycle facilities, as defined, within the right-of-way of a state highway if the project does not eliminate existing public coastal accessways. </html:p>

<ns0:Preamble>The people of the State of California do enact as follows:</ns0:Preamble>
<ns0:BillSection id="id_3EC29B57-DD70-47D3-B8F5-651BF1BAADF3">
<ns0:Num>SECTION 1.</ns0:Num>
<ns0:Content>
<html:p>
(a)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
</html:p>
<html:p>
(1)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The California Coastal Act of 1976 (Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000) of the Public Resources Code; (coastal act)) was enacted to protect the state’s coastal resources while maximizing public access to and recreational use of the coast, consistent with public safety and environmental protection.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(2)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
At the time of the Coastal Act’s
enactment, automobile travel and parking availability were the dominant factors determining coastal access in most parts of the state, and the coastal act’s implementation framework reflected those prevailing conditions.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(3)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
In the decades since, some coastal cities have evolved into dense, urbanized communities with extensive multimodal transportation networks, including fixed-route transit, rail service, protected bicycle infrastructure, pedestrian facilities, micromobility services, and shared transportation options that collectively provide substantial and equitable access to the coast without reliance on private automobiles.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(4)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
These urbanized coastal jurisdictions have invested significant public resources to meet and exceed the coastal act’s mandate to
maximize public access to the shoreline by facilitating nonautomobile circulation, consistent with Sections 30210 and 30252 of the Public Resources Code.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(5)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Despite these advancements, current permitting practices of the California Coastal Commission frequently require coastal
development permits for routine operational and management activities and minor improvement projects that do not result in the reduction of public coastal access or in significant land use intensification. These activities include, but are not limited to, parking rate adjustments, parking time limits, residential preferential parking programs, installation of accessibility improvements, minor improvements to existing buildings, temporary community events, and transportation safety upgrades within the public right-of-way.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(6)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Applying full coastal development permit (CDP) requirements to these operational activities and minor improvement projects imposes substantial administrative delays and costs on local governments without producing
commensurate environmental, access, or resource-protection benefits. While there are numerous existing Coastal Act exemptions to CDP requirements, these have been construed and applied far too narrowly. Furthermore, even in the case that a project may appear clearly exempt, the process of receiving that exemption from the California Coastal Commission is often time consuming.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(7)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
These delays and costs undermine the coastal act’s stated intent that state and local agencies cooperate to implement coordinated planning and development for mutually beneficial uses, as set forth in Section 30001.5 of the Public Resources Code.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(8)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
California law has increasingly prioritized the reduction of vehicle miles traveled, greenhouse
gas emissions, and automobile dependency to protect public health, advance climate resilience, and reduce adverse environmental impacts associated with transportation.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(9)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Rigid, parking-centric access assumptions embedded in legacy coastal permitting practices can impede statewide climate, transportation, and land use policies and discourage the use of transit, walking, and bicycling as primary or significant modes of coastal access. These assumptions are not true to either the letter or spirit of the Coastal Act. Section 30252 of the Public Resources Code specifically emphasizes nonautomobile circulation and expressly allows that the provision of transit may substitute for the provision of parking. However, the Coastal Commission has been reluctant to do that.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(10)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The provision of housing within urbanized, transit-oriented coastal communities that have made substantial investments in public transit and active transportation, and that have adopted and are actively implementing sustainability, climate action, or mobility strategies, supports statewide goals related to housing affordability, climate resilience, reduced vehicle miles traveled, and equitable access to coastal resources. This is reflected in the Coastal Act which calls for concentrating development in urbanized areas, as reflected in Sections 30007.5 and 30250 of the Public Resources Code.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(11)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Section 30253 of the Public Resources Code expressly requires that new development minimize energy
consumption and vehicle miles traveled, recognizing that transportation-related emissions pose a significant threat to coastal resources, public health, and climate resilience. This principle is also reflected in Sections 30007.5, 30250, and 30252 of the Public Resources Code.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(12)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Many coastal cities are simultaneously confronting economic recovery challenges, including prolonged commercial vacancies, fiscal strain on public parking and infrastructure systems, and the need for timely tenant improvements and temporary activations to revitalize coastal business districts.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(13)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
California is preparing to host globally significant events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympic and
Paralympic Games, which will require flexible, multimodal, and efficiently managed coastal access systems capable of accommodating large visitor volumes without exacerbating congestion or environmental impacts.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(14)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Certain urbanized coastal jurisdictions have made significant progress toward achieving the Coastal Act’s access objectives through comprehensive multimodal transportation networks, have adopted climate action plans and transportation safety strategies, and are well positioned to manage routine coastal operations at the local level.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(b)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
It is the intent of the
Legislature to do both of the following:
</html:p>
<html:p>
(1)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Modernize coastal zone governance by recognizing and empowering these urbanized, transit-oriented communities to administer specified operational and management activities and minor improvement projects without the need for individual coastal development permits, while otherwise preserving the California Coastal Commission’s authority over activities that constitute physical development and pose potential impacts to coastal resources.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(2)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Advance the purposes of the coastal act by aligning its implementation with contemporary transportation systems, climate imperatives, housing needs, and economic realities, ensuring that California’s coast remains accessible, resilient, and equitably enjoyed by all residents and visitors. It is not
the intent of the Legislature that the act adding this section diminish environmental protections, reduce public access to the coast, or limit the California Coastal Commission’s jurisdiction over development that would adversely affect coastal resources.
