5002.1. Prior to the classification or reclassification of a unit
of the state park system into any of the categories specified in
Article 1.7 (commencing with Section 5019.50) of this chapter, the
department shall prepare an inventory of the unit's scenic, natural,
and cultural features, including, but not limited to, ecological,
archaeological, historical, and geological features. The inventory
shall be submitted by the department to the State Park and Recreation
Commission for its consideration when classifying or reclassifying a
unit.


5002.2. (a) Following classification or reclassification of a unit
by the State Park and Recreation Commission, and prior to the
development of any new facilities in any previously classified unit,
the department shall prepare a general plan or revise any existing
plan, as the case may be, for the unit.
The general plan shall consist of elements that will evaluate and
define the proposed land uses, facilities, concessions, operation of
the unit, any environmental impacts, and the management of resources,
and shall serve as a guide for the future development, management,
and operation of the unit.
The general plan constitutes a report on a project for the
purposes of Section 21100. The general plan for a unit shall be
submitted by the department to the State Park and Recreation
Commission for approval.
(b) The resource element of the general plan shall evaluate the
unit as a constituent of an ecological region and as a distinct
ecological entity, based upon historical and ecological research of
plant-animal and soil-geological relationships and shall contain a
declaration of purpose, setting forth specific long-range management
objectives for the unit consistent with the unit's classification
pursuant to Article 1.7 (commencing with Section 5019.50), and a
declaration of resource management policy, setting forth the precise
actions and limitations required for the achievement of the
objectives established in the declaration of purpose.
(c) Notwithstanding the requirements of subdivision (a), the
department is not required to prepare a general plan for a unit that
has no general plan or to revise an existing plan, as the case may
be, if the only development contemplated by the department consists
of the repair, replacement, or rehabilitation of an existing
facility; the construction of a temporary facility, so long as such
construction does not result in the permanent commitment of a
resource of the unit; any undertaking necessary for the protection of
public health or safety; or any emergency measure necessary for the
immediate protection of natural or cultural resources; or any
combination thereof at a single unit. Any development is subject to
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000)).
(d) Any general plan approved prior to July 1, 1972, may be used
as the basis for development if the director finds that there has
been no significant change in the resources of the unit since
approval of the plan and that the plan is compatible with current
policies governing development of the unit and the classification of
the unit.
(e) Consistent with good planning and sound resource management,
the department shall, in discharging its responsibilities under this
section, attempt to make units of the state park system accessible
and usable by the general public at the earliest opportunity.
(f) The department may prepare a general plan which includes more
than one unit of the state park system for units which are in close
proximity to one another and which have similar resources and
recreational opportunities if that action will facilitate the
protection of public resources and public access to units of the
state park system.


5002.3. A public hearing shall be scheduled by the State Park and
Recreation Commission to consider each matter of classification or
reclassification of a unit and of approval of the department's
general plan for a unit. Notice of the hearing shall be posted in
plain sight at one or more places within the affected unit, published
in one or more newspapers of general circulation in each county
within which the affected unit is located, and mailed to every person
who has filed a request for notice of the hearing with the
commission. If the notice of hearing is published in a weekly
newspaper, it shall appear therein on at least two different days of
publication; and if in a newspaper published more often, there shall
be at least five days from the first to the last day of publication,
both days included. The content of the notice of hearing shall
substantially comply with the requirements of Section 11346.5 of the
Government Code.
Copies of the department's inventory of features, in the case of a
hearing on classification or reclassification, or copies of the
department's general plan, in the case of a hearing on approval of
the plans, shall be made available to the public at the department's
appropriate regional and district offices on the last date of
publication of the notice.
The hearing shall be held by the commission in, or within a radius
of 100 miles of, the City of San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
San Bernardino, Eureka, Redding, Fresno, Ukiah, Monterey, San Luis
Obispo, Santa Barbara, or Sacramento, whichever is closest to the
unit affected, not less than 30 days, nor more than 60 days, after
the last date of publication of the notice. The hearing shall be
conducted in the manner specified in Section 11346.8 of the
Government Code. The vote of each individual member of the
commission on each matter of classification or reclassification and
of approval of the department's general plan shall be recorded when
the final decision of the commission is announced.



5002.4. The department shall furnish a copy of the general plan for
any unit of the state park system for which a plan has been prepared
to any Member of the Legislature, upon request.



5002.45. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article,
upon completion of the land transfer authorized in Section 6 of
Chapter 1234 of the Statutes of 1980, the department shall prepare a
general plan or revise any existing general plan, as the case may be,
for the Sinkyone Wilderness State Park. The plan shall also include
the leased property described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of
Section 6 of that chapter.
(b) The general plan shall be as provided in Section 5002.2 and
shall also include all of the following:
(1) Provision for a system of recreational trails connected one to

the state in order to provide this nonmotorized transportation.
(3) Provision for parking of motor vehicles at Usal and Low Gap or
elsewhere at the perimeter of or near the Sinkyone Wilderness State

or near the park or parking lots in nearby communities with shuttle
buses to the wilderness area, or both; in any case, the department
may charge fees not to exceed its actual costs.
(4) Provision for sportfishing. In addition, notwithstanding any
other provision of law, the commission may consider and authorize as
a part of the plan continuation of and regulation of hunting on the
limited basis traditional to the area, to the extent it does not
endanger human health or safety.
(5) Provision for the continuation and renewal of road easements
which existed on January 1, 1980, across the park, to the extent that
the roads are necessary to provide access to neighboring property.
(6) Provision for the maintenance and use of the existing

in which it is located.



5002.5. The department may accept a gift of title to the Chinese
Taoist Temple in Hanford, Kings County, for the state park system in
the event such gift of title is offered to the department. Before
title to the Chinese Taoist Temple is offered and accepted pursuant
to this section, the department shall enter into an agreement with
either a local governmental entity or with a nonprofit organization
for the operation of the Chinese Taoist Temple as a unit of the state
park system and such agreement shall provide that all operating and
maintenance costs associated with the Chinese Taoist Temple shall be
at no cost to the state.


5002.6. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and upon
the adoption of a resolution of acceptance pursuant to subdivision
(h), the director shall grant to the County of Los Angeles, at no
cost to the county, in trust for the people of the State of

express condition that the County of Los Angeles shall use, operate,
and maintain the granted lands and improvements thereon for public
recreation and beach purposes in perpetuity, and shall comply with
all restrictions specified in each deed and prescribed in subdivision
(e). The county shall not make or permit any other use of the
granted lands and improvements. Any violation of this prohibition or
any violation of subdivision (e) shall constitute a breach of
conditions for purposes of paragraph (2) of this subdivision.
(2) Upon a material breach of any condition of a grant made
pursuant to this section which is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have been made intentionally, the State of California
shall terminate the interest of the County of Los Angeles in the
granted lands and improvements pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with
Section 885.010) of Title 5 of Part 2 of Division 2 of the Civil
Code. Upon exercise of the state's power of termination in
accordance with Section 885.050 of the Civil Code, all rights, title,
and interest of the County of Los Angeles in the granted lands and

3680-105-516 of the Budget Act of 1995 or from any subsequent
appropriation received from the state specifically for the operation
or maintenance of the granted lands and improvements. However, in no
event shall that payment exceed the sum of one million five hundred
thousand dollars ($1,500,000). The returned funds shall be deposited
in the State Parks and Recreation Fund.
(3) Notwithstanding Section 885.030 of the Civil Code, the state's
power of termination pursuant to paragraph (2) shall remain in
effect in perpetuity.
(c) Any operating agreement between the State of California and

(d) There is hereby excepted and reserved to the State of
California from the grants made pursuant to subdivision (a) all
mineral deposits, as defined in Section 6407, which lie below a depth
of 500 feet, without surface rights of entry.
(e) The transfer of all rights, title, and interest in the lands
and improvements described in subdivision (a) shall be subject to the
following restrictions, which shall be specified in each deed:
(1) (A) No new or expanded commercial development shall be allowed

the granted real property shall not exceed an estimated cost
limitation for each project of two hundred fifty thousand dollars
($250,000), as adjusted annually to reflect the California
Construction Index utilized by the Department of General Services.
Any authorization for new and expanded noncommercial development
shall be limited to projects that provide for the safety and
convenience of the general public in the use and enjoyment of, and
enhancement of, recreational and educational experiences, and shall
be consistent with the use, operation, and maintenance of the granted
lands and improvements as required pursuant to subdivision (b). The
expenditure of public funds for shoreline protective works shall
only be permitted for those protective works that the County of Los
Angeles determines are necessary for the protection of public
infrastructure or a public facility. For purposes of this
subparagraph, "project" means the whole of an action that constitutes
the entirety of the particular type of new construction, alteration,
or extension or betterment of an existing structure.
(C) Notwithstanding subparagraph (B), the deed for the conveyance
of Royal Palms State Beach shall contain a provision that allows for
the implementation of the state-approved local assistance grant
(project number SL-19-003) to the County of Los Angeles already
approved in the Budget Act of 1988 for noncommercial development to
rehabilitate the existing park infrastructure at that state beach.
(D) The estimated cost limitation specified in subparagraph (B)
shall not apply to the noncommercial projects necessary to bring
public accessways and public facilities into compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sec.
12101 et seq.). The limitation described in this subparagraph shall
not affect the restriction described in subparagraph (A) of paragraph
(1) of subdivision (e).
(2) The granted lands and improvements may not be subsequently
sold, transferred, or encumbered. For purposes of this section,
"encumber" includes, but is not limited to, mortgaging the property,
pledging the property as collateral, or any other transaction under
which the property would serve as security for borrowed funds. Any
lease of the granted lands or improvements shall only be consistent
with the public recreation and beach purposes of this section.
(f) As an alternative to the exercise of the power of termination
for a material breach of conditions, each condition set forth in this
section shall be enforceable as a covenant and equitable servitude
through injunction for specific performance issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
(g) On and after June 30, 1998, it is the intent of the
Legislature that any application by the County of Los Angeles Fire
Department to secure state funding support for boating safety and
enforcement on waters within the County of Los Angeles shall be given
priority consideration by the Legislature, unless an alternative
source of funding is secured prior to that date which serves the same
or similar purposes.
(h) This section shall become operative only if the Board of
Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles adopts a resolution
accepting the fee title grants, in trust for the people of the State
of California, in accordance with this section, of the lands and
improvements described in subdivision (a).



5003. The department shall administer, protect, develop, and
interpret the property under its jurisdiction for the use and
enjoyment of the public. Except as provided in Section 18930 of the
Health and Safety Code, the department may establish rules and
regulations not inconsistent with law for the government and
administration of the property under its jurisdiction. The
department may expend all moneys of the department, from whatever
source derived, for the care, protection, supervision, extension, and
improvement or development of the property under its jurisdiction.




5003.01. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the East
Bay Regional Park District is contemplating the development of
extensive new marina facilities at the Robert W. Crown Memorial State
Beach and that the 20-year term authorized by law would be
insufficient to enable any concessionaire to amortize the type and
scale of improvements that the district would require the
concessionaire to make at the marina.
Accordingly, pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 5080.18, the
term of a concession contract entered into by the East Bay Regional
Park District for the development and operation of a new marina at
the Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach may be for a period not
exceeding 50 years ; provided, that the contract shall provide that
the rental rates be reviewed and adjusted every five years to reflect
market rates and conditions prevailing in the area in which the
concession is located.



5003.02.1. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
department and the City of Grover Beach, in a joint project, are in
the process of entering into an operating agreement for the purpose
of negotiating a concession contract for the development of extensive
new facilities at Pismo Beach State Park, and that the standard,
20-year term is insufficient to enable the concessionaire to amortize
the type and scale of improvements that the department and the city
will require the concessionaire to make.
(b) The Legislature further finds and declares that approval of
commercial development at Pismo Beach State Park does not provide
precedent for commercial development in other units of the state park
system and is a one-time exception to Sections 5019.53 and 5080.03
by reason of the following circumstances:
(1) The general plan for the state park provides for the project.

(2) The site is located on the perimeter of the state park and
adjacent to State Route 1.
(3) The development will not impact the resources or the public's
use of the state park.
(4) The land proposed to be developed is suitable for commercial
development.
(c) Pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 5080.18, the term of
the concession contract entered into by the department and the City
of Grover Beach with a concessionaire for the development of new
facilities at Pismo Beach State Park may be for a period not to
exceed 50 years if the contract also provides that the rent be
reviewed and adjusted at least every five years to reflect market
rates and economic conditions prevailing in the area in which the
concession is located.
(d) No contract subject to this section may be advertised for bid,
negotiated, renegotiated, or amended in any material respect unless
the Legislature reviews and approves the proposed contract in the
annual Budget Act.



5003.03. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this
section, to provide for the acquisition, planning, and operation of a
state park project located on the east shore of the San Francisco
Bay. The state park project shall consist of a contiguous shoreline
park and bay trail along the east shore of the San Francisco Bay from
the Bay Bridge to the Marina Bay Trail in Richmond, serving as a
recreational facility within its natural setting developed in concert
with a public planning process agreeable to the state and the East
Bay Regional Park District.
(b) For purposes of this section, the following terms have the
following meanings:
(1) "Department" means the Department of Parks and Recreation.
(2) "District" means the East Bay Regional Park District.
(3) "Shoreline park" means a state park project as described in
subdivision (a).
(c) For the purpose of the acquisition, planning, and development
of the shoreline park, the district shall act as agent for the state
and, as the state's agent, shall have the authority to exercise all
of the district's powers for the purposes of acquiring, planning, and
developing the shoreline park. The district shall be reimbursed by
the state for any direct costs that the district incurs in carrying
out these activities, upon appropriation therefor by the Legislature.
By appointing the district as agent for the state, it is the intent
of the Legislature to direct the state and the district to act in an
expeditious manner towards the acquisition, planning, and
development of the shoreline park.
(d) The department and the district shall negotiate, in good
faith, an agreement specifying the activities necessary to accomplish
the acquisition, planning, and development of the shoreline park.
The agreement shall set forth the roles and responsibilities of the
district and the department. Upon execution of the agreement, the
remainder of the funds in Items 3790-490-742(2) and 3790-490-721(0.5)
of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 1992 shall be encumbered for
the purposes set forth in the agreement.
(e) All property interests acquired pursuant to this section shall
be held as a unit of the state park system.

from bond funds which have been designated for the shoreline park
project acquisition.
(g) The district shall not assume any responsibility or liability
or costs associated with the necessary cleanup of any pollution or
remediation of other environmental problems that exist as of January
1, 1993, or that may thereafter arise, on any property acquired for
the shoreline park using state funds.
(h) The district, in consultation with the affected cities and
their citizens, shall develop, in accordance with its master plan
process, a land use development plan for the shoreline park, which,
upon completion, shall be submitted to the department for approval.
The land use development plan shall be consistent with the general
plans of the affected cities. The district and the department shall
utilize the 1982 Feasibility Study as the initial planning document
for the shoreline park, recognizing that the park shall be a
recreational facility harmonious with its natural setting.
(i) When a parcel of land is determined to be available for
acquisition for the shoreline park, the district shall notify the
department and the department shall expeditiously pursue through the
appropriate state process the release of the necessary funding for
the acquisition, including all related costs, from funds available
pursuant to subparagraph (I) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of

term of the lease, the state may modify, add, or delete terms and
conditions of the lease, including a requirement for monetary
consideration for use of the property, as the state may determine to
be in the best interest of the state. Pursuant to subdivision (d) of
Section 5003.17, the Legislature shall review and approve any
