The California Wildlife, Coastal, and Park Land Conservation Act (conservation act) , an initiative bond measure approved by the voters at the June 7, 1988, statewide primary election, authorizes grants to be made by the Department of Parks and Recreation to cities, counties, districts, and nonprofit organizations for specified purposes, including purposes related to parks. As part of the conservation act, the City of Davis was appropriated moneys for acquisition of, or for grants from the city to nonprofit organizations for acquisition of, wildlife and riparian habitat, wetlands, and potential wetlands within the 1987 Davis General Plan Study Area. The conservation act requires property acquired, developed, rehabilitated, or restored pursuant to the conservation act to be used only for purposes of the conservation act and prohibits any other use of the property, except as authorized by the Legislature. This bill would authorize the City of Davis to convey conservation easements, leases, or licenses for habitat conservation projects located on, the geologic storage of carbon dioxide in the pore spaces in the geologic reservoir located below, monitoring wells or any other equipment or facilities that are required by law for the geologic storage of carbon dioxide and that are located on, and agricultural activities that provide wildlife habitat and are located on, specified parcels acquired by the city with a grant made pursuant to the conservation act, as specified. The bill would require the city, in the conveyance of these easements, leases, or licenses, to maintain the scenic, recreational, and wildlife values of the real property.
