Section 33205.

Cal. Public Resources Code - PRC § 33205.

in effect

The conservancy shall not hold lands acquired in accordance with subdivision (d) of Section 33204 more than 10 years from the time of acquisition. A city, county, recreation and park district, the National Park Service, or a state agency may acquire the land any time during that period for park, recreation, or resource preservation purposes. The acquisition price to the agencies shall be based upon the cost of acquisition under this division, plus administrative and management costs in reserving the land, unless the conservancy determines that the agency will operate and maintain the property for park, recreation, or resource preservation purposes in accordance with standards set by the conservancy, and that the property will not be converted to other uses without the approval of the conservancy. In the cases where the conservancy makes this determination, it may transfer the property without consideration or it may set another acquisition price as mutually agreed upon by the parties. However, in any case where there is a transfer without consideration, or where the consideration is less than acquisition and administrative and management costs, the property shall first be offered to the Department of Parks and Recreation, and, if the department is unwilling or unable to accept the property, the conservancy may then transfer or sell the property to a city, county, recreation and park district, or the National Park Service pursuant to this section. The conservancy shall include in each instrument transferring title of state property to the National Park Service a provision which assures that the property is operated in a manner suitable for park, recreation, or resource preservation purposes. The conservancy shall include in each instrument transferring title of state property to a state or local agency a provision for reversion of the property to the state if the property ceases to be used for park, recreation, or resource preservation purposes. Lands acquired under subdivision (d) of Section 33204 shall not be disposed of pursuant to Section 11011.1 of the Government Code. If, at the expiration of the 10-year period, no agency is willing or able to acquire the lands, the conservancy shall request the Real Estate Services Division of the Department of General Services to dispose of the lands at fair market value subject to restrictions that are consistent with this division. Any funds received by the state upon disposition of lands acquired in accordance with subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 33204 shall be deposited in the fund and shall be available for the purposes of this division. Any funds received by the state under this section upon disposition of lands acquired with funds granted pursuant to Section 507(n) of the National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. Sec. 460kk(n)) shall be deposited in the federal grant account in the fund and shall be available for the purposes of this division when authorized by the Secretary of the Interior.
