(1) Existing law authorizes the Department of Parks and Recreation, with the consent of the Department of Finance, to acquire title to or any interest in real property that the department deems necessary or proper for the extension, improvement, or development of the state park system. Existing law also authorizes the department to accept monetary and real property gifts to be used in any connection with the state park system. This bill would, except as provided below, prohibit land acquired for the state park system, through public funds or gifts, from being disposed of or used for other purposes incompatible with state park system purposes without the substitution of other land. This bill would require the State Park and Recreation Commission, following a duly noticed public hearing, to certify that all requests to dispose of or use the land for those incompatible purposes provide for the substitution of other land meeting certain criteria. If lands that fully meet the substitution eligibility criteria cannot be acquired, the commission would be authorized, if certain conditions are met, to approve a combination of substitute park lands and monetary compensation to allow for the disposal or use of lands for those incompatible purposes. The bill would require that the commission consider requests only if the commission determines that all practical alternatives that avoid the proposed disposal or use of park lands for those incompatible purposes have been considered. This bill would provide that its provisions shall not apply to existing uses of state park lands that have been authorized on or before January 1, 2013, by written agreement with the Department of Parks and Recreation or by the general plan for a state park unit. (2) Existing law authorizes a reconfiguration of the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area (state recreation area) if certain requirements are met and authorizes the Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation to remove the land from the state recreation area and enter into an agreement to convey to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, or to the City of San Francisco, an interest in the state property, if the director makes certain findings. Existing law provides that these provisions govern an agreement entered into or convergence made pursuant to the agreement and supersede any other provision of law pertaining to the department's authority to acquire or transfer real property, or to enter into an agreement to acquire or transfer real property. This bill would provide that it does not amend, repeal, or limit the effect of this provision.
