    UNMASKED Podcast: LAGUNA BEACH PROPERTY OWNERS ACT NOW!

    LAGUNA BEACH PROPERTY OWNERS ACT NOW. If you own property in the Residential/Hillside Protection zone “approximately 200 Properties will be affected”, you need to understand what was added to the new “Efficiency Ordinance.” If you want to build, the ordinance requires you to offer the City a permanent open-space easement over every portion of your property you are not developing. WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN? An easement gives someone else a legal right to use or control your private property for a specific purpose. This one is permanent, recorded against the property, runs with the land, and is designated for trails. That means the restriction doesn’t simply disappear when you sell your home. The next owner inherits it too. In plain English: part of the property you own could become permanently subject to rights held by the City for trail/open-space purposes. THIS IS YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY. KNOW WHAT YOU COULD BE REQUIRED TO GIVE UP BEFORE YOU BUILD. Submit your objection to the California Coastal Commission regarding LCPA 2026-0382. OCTOBER 19 MATTERS. The notice identifies it as the approximate deadline to legally challenge the ordinance. If you are considering a challenge, speak with a land-use attorney now. READ IT. QUESTION IT. PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS. ACT BEFORE OCTOBER 19.

    Karen Martin x UNMASKED Podcast

    Karen Martin understands Laguna Beach’s General Plan in a way that goes far beyond the surface. She understands how its different elements work vertically and horizontally and how decisions in one area can affect so many others. But what stood out to me just as much as her knowledge was Karen herself. She is genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve met in Laguna thoughtful, kind, and incredibly genuine. I’m grateful this podcast gave me the opportunity to get to know her, and I’m looking forward to continuing that friendship long after campaign season is over. This is exactly why I love doing UNMASKED. Getting beyond the campaign signs and actually getting to know the people running to serve our community.

    Kaitlin Willhoit x UNMASKED Podcast

    SUCCESSFUL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER. RESIDENT. SHE’S BEEN THROUGH THE PROCESS. Kaitlin Willhoit joins UNMASKED to talk about what it’s really like to develop property in Laguna Beach — and why the City needs to start listening to the people actually going through the process.Responsible development matters.It improves our homes, strengthens property values, creates revenue and helps fund the city we all expect to function well.But when the process becomes unnecessarily complicated, unpredictable and disconnected from the residents it serves, Laguna pays the price.It shouldn’t be residents vs. City Hall.It should be a City that works with its residents.

    Dennis Bogle x UNMASKED: Inside Laguna Beach City Hall

    Former Laguna Beach Building Official Dennis Bogle joins UNMASKED for a candid conversation about what happens behind the walls of City Hall. Dennis shares his firsthand perspective on the inner workings of the City, the inefficiencies he witnessed, the challenges of trying to serve the public within an increasingly complicated system, and what ultimately led to his departure. After hearing his story, I came away with my own conclusion. Dennis Bogle wasn’t simply ready to walk away. He was pushed out by management. And that matters. Because this is a man who deeply loved Laguna Beach. A man who believed government should work for the people it serves. A man who understood that public service means answering the phone, solving problems, taking responsibility and finding a way to get things done. Whether you agree with every opinion expressed or not, Dennis offers something increasingly rare. An unfiltered look inside the system from someone who actually worked within it. Dennis Bogle was, in my opinion, the definition of a public servant. Now you can hear his story and decide for yourself.
