Official statutory text
The Legislature finds and declares:
(a) There is clear justification and need for the creation of a beautiful and impressive western approach to the capital city of California, which coordinates and integrates the planning and development of all major elements in the immediate environment, and emphasizes the most important single structure in the complex, the State Capitol Building.
(b) In order to provide for the formulation and implementation of a long-range, funded program for beautification of the mall, which is coordinated with the plans of the multiplicity of interests involved, it is necessary to assign responsibility and authority sufficient to achieve these objectives to a single agency. The department is the agency most able to effectively carry out this assignment.
