His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The 15-member group oversees almost all of the state’s 840 miles of coastline, a stretch of land that just under a million Californians call home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pro-construction push built off last year’s success for the coalition when the Legislature \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2023/07/california-coast-housing-bill/\">passed a major housing law\u003c/a> and — breaking from long-standing legislative tradition — did not include a carveout for the coast. This year’s pack of bills was meant to cement and build off a new political reality in which the 48-year-old Coastal Commission no longer has quite so much say over housing policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fast forward to mid-August and those new bills are either dead or so severely watered down that they no longer carry the promise of a more built-out coastline. Whatever happened last year, the California Coastal Commission is still a force to be reckoned with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Californians really treasure their coast, and they feel very strongly about protecting it, and bills that seek to weaken coastal protections are going to run into some strong headwinds,” said Sarah Christie, the commission’s legislative affairs director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the 1970s, the California Coastal Commission has closely regulated any construction or demolition within the California coastal zone — a narrow band of land that varies from 1,000 feet to 5 miles inland from high tide. While many recent state housing laws have required predictable, by-the-book approval of proposed developments, the commission has remained a redoubt of discretion. The commission’s defenders say that that is as it should be since the coast’s enormous value to the public, its fragile ecosystems, and its vulnerability to searise require holistic and individualized protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, San Diego Democratic Assemblymember David Alvarez pulled his bill, AB 2560, written to ensure that California’s density bonus law, a policy that allows developers to build taller, denser or meeting fewer local requirements in exchange for setting aside some units for lower-income tenants or owners, applies in the coastal zone. As he explained in a press release, recent amendments tacked onto the bill would have made it “ineffective at building more housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tweak came out of the Senate Natural Resources Committee, which heard the bill in late June, just prior to the Legislative summer recess. The amendment would have subjected any density bonus project to the added protections of the California Coastal Act. Sen. Dave Min, an Irivine Democrat, helms the committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amendment “undid the point of the bill,” said Will Moore, policy director at Circulate San Diego, a nonprofit that co-sponsored the bill. The only point in continuing to move forward after such changes would have been “if we were just in love with the number 2560 or something,” he added. [aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"california-housing\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Min’s Natural Resources Committee emerged as a vital defender of the Coastal Commission this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, the committee also substantially revised two coastal housing bills by Sen. Catherine Blakespear, a Democrat from Encinitas. One would have exempted backyard cottages, otherwise known as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2023/11/adu-san-diego/\">accessory dwelling units\u003c/a>, from Coastal Commission review. Amendments out of the Min’s committee revised it to simply require the commission to offer guidance to local governments on how to permit ADUs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second Blakespear bill would have sped up the appeal deadline for apartment projects in the coastal zone. Min’s amendments changed it to simply require that the commission submit a report to the Legislature by 2026. (The bill died in a subsequent fiscal committee last week.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blakespear accepted those changes at the time, but not happily, which led to a testy exchange at the April hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To clarify, you were not forced to take any amendments, you agreed to take them,” Min said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am absolutely forced to take these amendments,” Blakespear responded. “I am doing that willingly, but I do not want to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last half-decade, a majority of state lawmakers have come to embrace the idea that bringing down the cost of housing in California requires a significant increase in the supply of homes. California housing regulators are pushing local governments across the state to permit 315,000 new units every year until the end of the decade — a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2023/05/california-exodus-housing-cost/\">pace of construction\u003c/a> without precedent in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing advocates note that the coastal zone passes through many urbanized centers and that its population is disproportionately wealthy and white. That, they argue, has made the Coastal Commission a tool of elitist exclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Coastal Act defenders argue that the goals of making the state’s beachfront property more accessible and protecting the coast are not mutually exclusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a variety of ways we could increase workforce housing in the coastal zone without undercutting the Coastal Act,” Christie said.

The Commission has also \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/GroteCoastalCommissionTestimony.pdf\">long called for the state\u003c/a> to give it the power to require developers to set aside units for low-income residents, authority that was taken away from the agency in the early 1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That debate is dead in the Legislature for now, but it’s likely to resurface again in some form next year.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>California legislators passed the California Coastal Act in 1976 as a way to protect the state’s famed shoreline and to enshrine beach access for all. But that landmark law has spawned a nearly five-decade-long tug-of-war between the state and private property owners. Now, two highly-publicized legal skirmishes — including one pending before the U.S. Supreme Court — have coastal advocates worried.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Barbara native Joshua Brown practically grew up in the ocean waves here in California’s picturesque Santa Barbara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I started surfing when I was about 11-years-old and I spent a lot of time in the water swimming, kayaking, surfing — being very comfortable in the ocean,” said the 26-year-old resident of Kernville.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11622403/coastal-protection-on-the-edge-the-challenge-of-preserving-californias-legacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coastal Protection on the Edge: The Challenge of Preserving California’s Legacy\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So Brown didn’t hesitate in 2010 when friends invited him to strap his surfboard to a kayak and paddle more than two miles to the coveted shores of Hollister Ranch — a community renowned for its legendary waves and pristine coastline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s insanely beautiful,” Brown said. “There’s otters, there’s all kinds of sea life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 14,500-acre Hollister Ranch is a subdivision of mostly 100-acre lots, owned by wealthy surfers and celebrities. The Ranch is private, gated and patrolled by security guards. Beach trails within the ranch are off-limits to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s exactly how Hollister land owners would like it to stay. They have been fighting to keep their beach private for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most recent battle, land owners filed a lawsuit in 2013 challenging the state of California’s claim to an easement that provides the only public access by land to a small beach within the famed ranch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last December, the parties quietly struck a legal settlement — without public input or public knowledge — that would have California extinguish the land-based access claim. In exchange, Hollister owners would open up a narrow strip of beach to the public, but only to those willing to risk the ocean journey by small craft, such as kayaks, paddleboards or soft-bottom boats.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1920209/silicon-valley-billionaire-takes-case-over-public-beach-access-to-u-s-supreme-court\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silicon Valley Billionaire Takes Case Over Public Beach Access to U.S. Supreme Court\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“It’s completely unfair, it’s unreasonable and I’m really surprised the state would agree to such a settlement that exposes the public to significant risk,” said Susan Jordan, executive director of the California Coastal Protection Network. “The general member of the public would not be able to manage this and I would advise them not to even try to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua Brown agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The afternoon winds during his 2010 trip snuck up during his paddle home, turning the placid ocean surface into a roiling mass of whitecaps. The winds flipped his kayak and blew his companions far beyond the shore. Thankfully, he said, surfers passing in a motor boat helped tow them back safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We understood the ocean but it ended up becoming a very dangerous trip,” Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Geography and weather make the ocean trek “unpredictable and treacherous,” said Marc Chytilo, an attorney for the Gaviota Coast Conservancy and the Gaviota Coastal Trail Alliance, a collection of coastal advocacy groups now challenging the pending settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It goes past four canyons which are notorious for having off-shore winds blowing under sundowner conditions,” Chytilo said of the ocean trek from Gaviota State Park to the Cuarto Canyon beach at the Hollister Ranch. “Twenty-five to 40-mile-an-hour winds come out of those canyon mouths.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Colleen Sterne gave the settlement preliminary approval, subject to public notification and the opportunity for any interested party to intervene in the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coastal advocates and hundreds of Californians have sent emails to the California Coastal Commission contending that ocean-only access is tantamount to no access at all.

But that landmark law has spawned a nearly five-decade-long tug-of-war between the state and private property owners.

The Ranch is private, gated and patrolled by security guards. Beach trails within the ranch are off-limits to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s exactly how Hollister land owners would like it to stay. They have been fighting to keep their beach private for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most recent battle, land owners filed a lawsuit in 2013 challenging the state of California’s claim to an easement that provides the only public access by land to a small beach within the famed ranch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last December, the parties quietly struck a legal settlement — without public input or public knowledge — that would have California extinguish the land-based access claim. In exchange, Hollister owners would open up a narrow strip of beach to the public, but only to those willing to risk the ocean journey by small craft, such as kayaks, paddleboards or soft-bottom boats.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1920209/silicon-valley-billionaire-takes-case-over-public-beach-access-to-u-s-supreme-court\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silicon Valley Billionaire Takes Case Over Public Beach Access to U.S. Supreme Court\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“It’s completely unfair, it’s unreasonable and I’m really surprised the state would agree to such a settlement that exposes the public to significant risk,” said Susan Jordan, executive director of the California Coastal Protection Network. “The general member of the public would not be able to manage this and I would advise them not to even try to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua Brown agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The afternoon winds during his 2010 trip snuck up during his paddle home, turning the placid ocean surface into a roiling mass of whitecaps. The winds flipped his kayak and blew his companions far beyond the shore. Thankfully, he said, surfers passing in a motor boat helped tow them back safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We understood the ocean but it ended up becoming a very dangerous trip,” Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Geography and weather make the ocean trek “unpredictable and treacherous,” said Marc Chytilo, an attorney for the Gaviota Coast Conservancy and the Gaviota Coastal Trail Alliance, a collection of coastal advocacy groups now challenging the pending settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It goes past four canyons which are notorious for having off-shore winds blowing under sundowner conditions,” Chytilo said of the ocean trek from Gaviota State Park to the Cuarto Canyon beach at the Hollister Ranch. “Twenty-five to 40-mile-an-hour winds come out of those canyon mouths.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Colleen Sterne gave the settlement preliminary approval, subject to public notification and the opportunity for any interested party to intervene in the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coastal advocates and hundreds of Californians have sent emails to the California Coastal Commission contending that ocean-only access is tantamount to no access at all. And that, Chytilo says, violates California law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The California constitution and the Coastal Act provide that the public’s right to access the ocean cannot be denied,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Coastal Commissioner Aaron Peskin said the proposed legal settlement, brokered by the State Attorney General’s office “wasn’t ideal but we were making the best of a bad situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The good news is that the public has weighed in: over 1,500 individuals have sent emails,” Peskin said. “They’ve all been heartfelt and that’s really refocused the commission on the longer term goal of getting real public access, not only by water and not only by small groups to Hollister ranch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11680479/santa-cruz-neighborhood-rejects-state-compromise-wont-open-gated-beach-for-free\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santa Cruz Neighborhood Rejects State Compromise, Won’t Open Gated Beach for Free\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The Hollister Ranch Owners Association would comment only by written statement.
