location of such facilities and services is compatible with the
management of the unit in relation to its primary usage.
   (b) Airport facilities and services shall be excluded from state
wilderness, state reserves, natural preserves, and cultural

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

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

the park; and provision for posting of signs on those roads to notify
persons of road conditions.
   (c) The department, in preparing or revising the general plan,
shall hold at least one public hearing in each of Mendocino and

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
improvements shall terminate and revert to, and rest in, the state,
and the county shall, within 30 days from the date of that judgment,
pay to the state an amount equal to funds received by the county
annually from the appropriation under schedule (a) of Item
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 (,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:

   (B) Any project for new or expanded noncommercial development on
the granted real property shall not exceed an estimated cost
limitation for each project of two hundred fifty thousand dollars
(0,000), 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).



5002.7.  (a) The beach bicycle path in the County of Los Angeles,
which runs 22.3 miles from its northern end at the Will Rogers State
Beach to its southern end in the City of Torrance, shall be named the
"Marvin Braude Bikeway" in honor of Marvin Braude, a former member
of the City Council of the City of Los Angeles.
   (b) Signage for the Marvin Braude Bikeway shall be placed at
appropriate locations to commemorate the many conservation
accomplishments of Marvin Braude, who tirelessly led efforts on
behalf of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, helped create the
Venice Beach bikeway, and championed many other efforts to create and
preserve open space and parks. Costs for the signage shall be funded
by agreements made by the managing local governments and private
sources.


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

into contracts or agreements with cities, counties, and other
political subdivisions of the State and with other state agencies or
with persons, firms or corporations for the acquisition,
construction, and maintenance of suitable roads, trails, and
pathways.
   When application is received by the department, other than under
Section 5012, from any person, firm or corporation for right-of-way
across a state park for ingress and egress to a highway or road from
their lands separated from such highway or road by the state park,
the department shall determine whether any reasonable access exists
outside the boundaries of the park, or could be economically
constructed.  Where reasonable access does not exist or cannot be
economically constructed outside the boundaries of the park, the
department shall grant a permit for right-of-way across the park over
such route and subject to such conditions and construction and
maintenance specifications as the department may determine which will
cause minimum alteration to the physical features of the park and
minimum interference with the use of the park by the public.  The
permittee shall at his own expense construct and maintain the means
of ingress and egress in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in the permit, noncompliance with which in any part shall be
due cause for revocation of such permit.  The department may require
a permittee or permittees to allow the use of such means of ingress
and egress by any other applicant whose lands are similarly situated.
  The department shall grant a permit for such use under terms and
conditions imposed upon existing users, upon payment of a reasonable
compensation for construction and maintenance of the road, by the
applicant to the existing permittee, or permittees.

   (c) The lien shall not extend to delinquent charges or fees
incurred more than four years prior to the filing of the notice of
lien.  The lien shall, except as provided in subdivision (e),
continue in effect for four years after the filing of the notice of

in judgment of foreclosure.
   (d) Within four years after the notice of lien is filed of record,
an action to foreclose the lien may, notwithstanding any other
provision of law, be brought in the name of the people in any court
having jurisdiction to hear and dispose of actions to foreclose
mechanics' liens for like amounts.  If the action is commenced in a
court of competent jurisdiction in Sacramento County, the court is
the proper court for trial, without regard to the residence of the
defendants.
   (e) Upon recording of lis pendens, the notice of lien shall
continue in effect until the recording of the abstract of judgment

to the department the amount of the damages which the department has
sustained by reason of the drifting of the property upon the public
beaches, waterways or lands within the state park system and which

complaint was parked or placed in violation of any provision of these
statutes or rules and regulations together with proof that the
defendant named in the complaint was, at the time of the parking or

charged has made a bona fide sale or transfer of the vehicle or
vessel and has delivered possession thereof to the purchaser and has
