Statute text

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Director of General Services may acquire, on behalf of the state, a fee or lesser right or interest in such real and personal property in the Counties of Los Angeles and Ventura located in the vicinity of Gorman and commonly known as Hungry Valley as is designated in writing by the Director of Parks and Recreation to the Director of General Services. If the property is leased, the lease shall be for such term and for such consideration as is mutually agreed upon by and between the Director of General Services and the lessor, and consented to by the Director of Parks and Recreation, and with rent to be paid by the Department of Parks and Recreation.

(b)Any interest in property acquired pursuant to this section shall be subject to the provisions of the Property Acquisition Law (Part 11 (commencing with Section 15850) of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code). The proviso in Section 5019 shall not apply to any property acquired pursuant to this section that is subject to a reservation of oil and mineral rights if the Director of Parks and Recreation finds that the proposed prospecting or extraction of oil and minerals will not unreasonably interfere with the use of the property or adjoining property for recreation and if the grantor or lessor of the surface of the property, if other than the state or the holder of such a reservation, consents to the proposed prospecting or extraction.

(c)Upon acquisition of the property, the Director of General Services shall transfer jurisdiction over the property to the Department of Parks and Recreation, which shall administer the property as a unit of the state park system. The 51st District Agricultural Association may propose a name for the unit. The department shall carry out a program in that unit of planning, development, construction, maintenance, administration, and conservation of trails and areas for the recreational use of off-highway vehicles and for other related purposes of the state park system. Areas for the recreational use of off-highway vehicles shall be administered pursuant to Chapter 1.25 (commencing with Section 5090.01). The 51st District Agricultural Association may use the land and facilities within the unit for a fair oriented to off-highway vehicles for not more than 10 days each year if the Director of Parks and Recreation approves that use. The director may impose such terms and conditions upon such use as the director deems necessary and proper. The dates of that use shall be selected each year prior to January 1 and shall be subject to the approval of the Director of Parks and Recreation.
