Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 31402.1 — System of Public Accessways is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
(a) It is the intent of the Legislature to provide for timely acceptance of offers to dedicate interests in property, recorded pursuant to Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000) and needed to provide public access to and along the ocean shoreline.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(1) In order to prevent the potential loss of public accessways to and along the state’s coastline, it is in the best interest of the state to accept all offers to dedicate real property that protect open space or have the potential to provide access to public tidelands, including any beach, shoreline, or view area, or that provide a connection to other easements or public properties providing this access.
(2) Offers to dedicate interests in property that are required and recorded pursuant to Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000) provide mitigation necessary for approved development to occur consistent with the policies and objectives of that division and are not gifts to the state or acquisitions of property interests within the meaning of Section 31105.
