	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Leno

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2009

   An act to repeal Section 5006.8 of the Public Resources Code, to
repeal Section 3 of Chapter 2 of the Statutes of 1958 of the First
Extraordinary Session, to repeal Chapter 464 of the Statutes of 2002,
and to repeal Chapter 435 of the Statutes of 2003, relating to
tidelands and submerged lands.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 792, as introduced, Leno. Tidelands and submerged lands: City
and County of San Francisco: Candlestick Point and Hunters Point
Naval Shipyard.
   (1) Existing law grants to the City and County of San Francisco
the right, title, and interest of the State of California in and to
certain tidelands and submerged lands in trust for certain purposes.
The State Lands Commission has jurisdiction over tidelands and
submerged lands of the state.
   The Hunters Point Shipyard Conversion Act of 2002 granted to, and
vested in, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, all of the state's
right, title, and interest in the Hunters Point trust lands, and,
upon conveyance by the federal government to the agency, in
appurtenances located on Hunters Point submerged lands, subject to
the public trust and the terms and conditions of the act. The Hunters
Point Shipyard Public Trust Exchange Act approved an exchange of
public trust lands within the Hunters Point Shipyard, whereby certain
trust lands that meet specified criteria and are not useful for
public trust purposes are freed from the public trust and may be
conveyed into private ownership, and certain other lands that are not
public trust lands and that are useful for public trust purposes are
made subject to the public trust. Existing law authorizes the
Director of Parks and Recreation to enter into agreements concerning
the development of a project in the City and County of San Francisco
and partly within the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area.
   This bill would repeal the Hunters Point Conversion Act of 2002
and the Hunters Point Shipyard Public Trust Exchange Act. The bill
would also repeal the provision authorizing the Director of Parks and
Recreation to enter into agreements concerning that project in the
City and County of San Francisco.
   This bill instead would grant to, and vest in, the San Francisco
Redevelopment Agency, all of the state's right, title, and interest
in Candlestick Point and the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard
trust lands, as revised, and, upon conveyance by the federal
government to the agency, in appurtenances located on Hunters Point
submerged lands, subject to the public trust, and the terms and
conditions of this bill.
   This bill would also approve an exchange of public trust lands
within the lands conveyed, whereby certain trust lands that meet
specified criteria and are not now useful for public trust purposes
will be freed from the public trust and may be conveyed into private
ownership, and certain other lands that are not now public trust
lands and that are useful for public trust purposes will be made
subject to the public trust.
   The bill would require the agency to deposit all moneys collected
by the agency arising out of the use or operation of any of the trust
lands into a special fund maintained by the agency. The bill would
require the agency to prepare an annual statement of financial
conditions and operations and to submit the statement to the State
Lands Commission each year on or before October 1, thereby imposing a
state-mandated local program.
   The bill would authorize the Director of Parks and Recreation to
enter in an agreement to transfer to the agency or the City and
County of San Francisco an interest in state property held by the
department within the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area upon
the director making certain findings.
   (2) The bill would state findings and declarations of the
Legislature regarding the need for special legislation.
   (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

pursuant to the exchange, and shall not include any lands that have
been removed from the trust pursuant to the exchange.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
   (a) The purpose of this act is to facilitate the productive reuse
of the lands within the areas of San Francisco known as Candlestick
Point and the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in a manner that
furthers the purposes of the public trust and the Community
Redevelopment Law. To effectuate this purpose, this act grants the
state's sovereign interest in the lands comprising the shipyard to
the agency upon the transfer of those lands out of federal ownership,
and approves and authorizes the commission to carry out an exchange
of lands that will place or confirm the public trust on lands within
the project area with substantial value for the public trust, and
terminate the public trust in project area lands that are no longer
useful for trust purposes. This act also authorizes the department to
enter into an agreement to transfer certain lands within the
Candlestick Point State Recreation Area to the agency or the city,
provided that the agreement provides an overall benefit to the state
recreation area and meets certain other conditions set forth in this
act.
   (b) The project area, including both the shipyard and Candlestick
Point, encompasses lands that were historically tidelands subject to
the public trust, as well as historic uplands that were not subject
to the trust. Beginning in 1861, certain of the area's tidelands were
conveyed into private ownership by the state pursuant to various
state statutes. Portions of those tidelands were subsequently filled
and reclaimed. The trust status of the reclaimed tidelands is
uncertain. Due to differences in the various statutes authorizing the
conveyance of the tidelands into private ownership, as well as other
historical circumstances, some of the reclaimed tidelands, including
lands located well inland from the current shoreline, have remained
subject to the public trust, while other reclaimed tidelands,
including most of the lands adjacent to the shoreline, may have been
freed from the trust. In addition, a portion of the lands that are
subject to the trust consist of "paper streets" that were mapped but
never built, forming a grid pattern that is not consistent with the
existing or planned street system for the lands, and these lands are
no longer useful for trust purposes.
   (c) In 1939, the United States began acquiring lands for purposes
of constructing and operating what came to be known as the Hunters
Point Naval Shipyard. The shipyard was used primarily as a United
States Navy industrial operation for the modification, maintenance,
and repair of ships. The shipyard was closed in 1974, resulting in
adverse economic impacts on the economic base of the surrounding
Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood. Pursuant to Section 2824(a) of
the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 1991, as
amended by Section 2834 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
fiscal year 1994, the United States Navy is authorized to convey the
shipyard, or portions of the shipyard, to the city or to a local
reuse authority approved by the city. The agency is the approved
local reuse authority for the shipyard. Pursuant to a 2004 conveyance
agreement with the agency, the United States Navy has conveyed a
portion of the shipyard to the agency and has agreed to transfer the
remainder to the agency following hazardous materials remediation.
   (d) The state's sovereign interest in the filled tidelands at
Candlestick Point consists primarily of paper streets and portions of
a former railroad right-of-way. In 1958, the state, through the 1958
Act, authorized the sale of a portion of these lands to the city of
for the purpose of developing a sports stadium. The 1958, Act
terminated the public trust on the transferred lands, but required
that they be used only for purposes of general statewide interest.
Pursuant to the 1958 Act, the city acquired the lands free of the
trust and constructed the stadium commonly referred to as Candlestick
Park, which is now nearing the end of its useful life.
   (e) In 1968, the Legislature enacted the Burton Act, which granted
the state's remaining interest in tidelands within the city,
including the state's sovereign interests in the portion of
Candlestick Point outside of the stadium site, to the city, subject
to the public trust and the Burton Act trust. The state subsequently
acquired private lands along the shoreline of Candlestick Point to
create the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area. In 1984, the city
conveyed back to the state those lands within the state recreation
area boundaries that the city had acquired under the 1958 Act and the
Burton Act, subject to the city's reversionary interest. The state
recreation area was the first California state park unit developed in
an urban environment and is a critical component of the state park
system. At present, however, much of the state recreation area is
underutilized and in need of substantial restoration and improvement.

   (f) The shipyard and Candlestick Point are in close proximity to
one another, separated only by Yosemite Slough and South Basin.
Together, they comprise approximately 760 acres and make up the
largest area of underused land in the city. The shipyard, once a
source of economic opportunity for the surrounding Bayview Hunters
Point community, has stood dilapidated and abandoned for over 30
years and now stands as a barrier to public health, open space, and
the waterfront, and a blight on one of San Francisco's poorest
communities. The revitalization of Candlestick Point has been
contemplated for over 10 years to create much needed economic and
public benefits, affordable housing for Bayview Hunters Point
residents, and other tangible benefits to the Bayview Hunters Point
community. The stadium at Candlestick Point is nearing the end of its
useful life and is in need of replacement, the nearby public housing
development at Alice Griffith requires a complete rebuilding, and
the restoration and improvement of the adjoining state recreation
area has been a long-time goal of the state, the city, and the
Bayview Hunters Point community.
   (g) Until 2007, efforts to redevelop the shipyard and Candlestick
Point proceeded separately from one another. In 1997, the agency and
the city adopted the Hunters Point Shipyard Redevelopment Plan to
provide for the economic revitalization of the shipyard upon its
transfer out of federal ownership. In anticipation of the transfer of
the shipyard to the agency, the Hunters Point Shipyard Conversion
Act of 2002 (Chapter 464 of the Statutes of 2002), and the Hunters
Point Shipyard Public Trust Exchange Act (Chapter 435 of the Statutes
of 2003), which together granted in trust to the agency all of the
state's sovereign interest in certain lands within and adjacent to
the shipyard and authorized a shipyard-wide public trust exchange,
subject to certain terms and conditions.
   (h) In 1998, Section 5006.8 of the Public Resources Code was
enacted for the purpose of facilitating the redevelopment of
Candlestick Point in accordance with Propositions D and F, which were
approved by voters of the city on June 3, 1997. Those measures
authorized development of a stadium, retail and entertainment center,
and associated support uses on the site. In 2006, the city and the
agency adopted the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan, which
included provision for a stadium project consistent with Propositions
D and F. Subsequently, the primary tenants of the stadium, the San
Francisco Forty Niners, announced their intention to build a new
stadium in a location other than Candlestick Point.
   (i) In 2007, the city and the agency undertook a new, integrated
planning effort for the shipyard and Candlestick Point, which
resulted in the adoption of a conceptual framework for development.
The conceptual framework calls for a mixed use project on the project
area that will provide, among other things, much needed parks and
open space, including a major renovation of the state recreation area
to enhance access by residents and visitors to the waterfront; new
business and employment opportunities; new housing opportunities
affordable for residents of the neighboring Bayview Hunters Point
community; a site for a new sports stadium on the shipyard, with
alternative uses if the San Francisco Forty Niners elect to build a
new stadium elsewhere; and other economic and public benefits for the
community and the city as a whole.
   (j) In June 2008, the voters of the city approved Proposition G,
the "Mixed Use Development Project for Candlestick Point and Hunters
Point Shipyard." Proposition G repealed Propositions D and F and
promulgated city policy encouraging the timely development of the
project area with a mixed-use project including: over 300 acres of
public park and open space; between 8,500 and 10,000 homes; about
700,000 square feet of retail space; about 2,150,000 square feet of
green office, science and technology, research and development, and
industrial space; a possible arena or other public performance site;
a site in the shipyard for a new stadium for the San Francisco Forty
Niners; and additional green office, science and technology, research
and development, and industrial space, or additional housing, if a
new stadium is not built. Proposition G specifically contemplated a
mix of stacked flats, attached town homes and, in appropriately
selected locations, low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise towers, to help
ensure the economic feasibility of the development and provide a
varied urban design. Proposition G also made it city policy that the
project be consistent with the following objectives: producing
tangible community benefits for residents of the Bayview Hunters
Point neighborhood and the city; reconnecting the shipyard and
Candlestick Point with the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood and
protecting the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood character for
existing residents; producing substantial new housing, both
affordable and market-rate, and encouraging the rebuilding of the
Alice Griffith Housing Development; incorporating environmental
sustainability; encouraging the San Francisco Forty Niners to remain
in San Francisco; and requiring the project to be financially sound,
with or without a new stadium.
   (k) This legislation is necessary for the successful redevelopment
of the project area and to realize the resulting public benefits,
including, but not limited to, the elimination of blight, the
provision of affordable housing, the creation of new public open
space, and increased public access to the waterfront. This
legislation is also needed to improve the configuration of the public
trust lands in furtherance of trust purposes.
   (l) The existing configuration of trust and nontrust lands within
the project area is such that the purposes of the public trust cannot
be fully realized. A substantial portion of the reclaimed trust
lands are interior lands that have been cut off from access to
navigable waters, or are paper streets laid out in a grid pattern
that is not useful to the trust. Most of these lands are no longer
needed or required for the promotion of the public trust. Other lands
within the project area adjacent to the waterfront or otherwise of
high value to the public trust are currently not subject to the
public trust. Absent a trust exchange, substantial portions of the
lands within the shipyard that are located along the waterfront or
are otherwise of high value to the public trust would be free of the
public trust, would not be required to be put to uses consistent with
the public trust, and could be cut off from public access. In
addition, certain interior lands not useful for trust purposes would
be restricted and could not be used for residential or other nontrust
uses essential to the redevelopment of the project area.
   (m) A trust exchange resulting in the configuration of trust lands
substantially similar to that depicted on the diagram in Section 25
of this act maximizes the overall benefits to the trust, without
interfering with trust uses or purposes. Following the exchange, the
entire waterfront within the project area, as well as certain
interior lands that have high trust values, will be subject to the
public trust. The lands that will be removed from the trust pursuant
to the exchange have been cut off from navigable waters, are no
longer needed or required for the promotion of the public trust, and
constitute a relatively small portion of the granted lands within the
city. This act requires the commission to ensure that the lands
added to the trust pursuant to the exchange are of equal or greater
value than the lands taken out of the trust.
   (n) Several historic buildings in the shipyard have been
identified by the State Historic Preservation Officer as contributors
to the Hunters Point Commercial Drydock Historic District. These
contributor buildings convey a sense of the shipyard's early maritime
history, enhance the open-space experience along the waterfront, and
should be preserved and restored. Uses of the contributor buildings
that support their preservation and restoration, but which are not
otherwise consistent with the trust, may be authorized under certain
conditions set forth in this act.
   (o) The hillside open space provides substantial value to the
trust as an open space and recreational resource affording
exceptional views of San Francisco Bay and the waterfront. To protect
the trust value of the hillside open-space area, it is important
that significant view corridors to the waterfront be protected and
adequate public access be provided in the manner set forth in this
act.
   (p) The state recreation area is presently in need of substantial
improvement, restoration, and reconfiguration. A substantial portion
of the park currently serves as a dual-use parking area for stadium
events. In other areas, the park does not contain enough land
adjacent to the shoreline to provide the desired level of public
access. The park lacks needed improvements, and many of the
improvements that do exist are in a state of disrepair. Proposition G
calls for improving and restoring the state recreation area,
including enhancing access to the waterfront for public use,
providing views of San Francisco Bay, and extending the Bay Trail
system through the park. This act authorizes the department to enter
into an agreement for the transfer of state recreation area lands to
the agency or the city in exchange for other lands, park
improvements, or other consideration, provided the agreement will
result in an overall benefit to the park and meets the other
requirements of this act regarding the transfer of state recreation
area lands.
   (q) This legislation advances the statewide purposes of the
Community Redevelopment Law and the public trust, and is in the best
interests of the people of this state.
  SEC. 3.  Section 5006.8 of the Public Resources Code is repealed.

   5006.8.  (a) For purposes of this section, the following
definitions shall apply:
   (1) "City" means the City and County of San Francisco.
   (2) "Project" means the development of a combination of uses, such

the area within the inner circumference of the new ring road for
permanent public parking use, and the area outside the outer
circumference of the new ring road for temporary or intermittent

the final site diagram for the project area, which shall supersede
any preliminary site diagrams, shall be subject to the approval of
the department and the State Lands Commission.
   (6) "State property" means the property or interests in property
owned by the state located within the project area. A portion of the
state property is proprietary land under the jurisdiction of the
Department of Parks and Recreation and the remainder of the state

quit claims, leases, operating agreements, special use permits, or
agreements for the conveyance of fee title of any property interests
of the department within the recreation area. The department shall
receive at least fair market value for the property interests
conveyed by the department. The department may execute leases,
operating agreements, and special use permits regarding proprietary
lands within the state property for terms not exceeding 66 years. The
director may change the boundaries of the recreation area as
necessary to reflect the agreements contemplated by this section.
   (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the State Lands
Commission may enter into agreements regarding any sovereign lands

state, concerning the development and operation of the project.
Subject to applicable requirements of the public trust for commerce,
navigation, and fisheries, the agreements may provide, without
limitation, for leases, operating agreements, and, to the extent
permitted under paragraph (1) or (2), sale or exchange agreements of
all or any portion of state property. Those leases shall be for a
term not exceeding 66 years. Any land or interest in land received in
an exchange shall have a value that is equal to or greater than the
value of the property interest conveyed by the State Lands
Commission. In furtherance of the foregoing:
   (1) The State Lands Commission may enter into agreements,
including agreements providing for termination of the public trust or
the termination of any trust imposed by Chapter 1333 of the Statutes
of 1968, as amended, or both, for the exchange of trust land within
the project area whereby any of the lands that are subject to the
trust may be exchanged for other land inside or outside the project
area that is at least equal or greater in value, which is useful for
trust purposes, and that is in a location approved by the State Lands
Commission, if the findings set forth in Section 5 of Chapter 310 of
the Statutes of 1987 are made, or, for those lands that are not
included in Chapter 1333 of the Statutes of 1968, as amended, if the
requirements of Section 6307 are satisfied.
   (2) For purposes of Section 3 of Article X of the California
Constitution, the Legislature hereby finds and declares that
tidelands within the project area that were reserved to the state
solely for street purposes and that, as found by the State Lands
Commission, meet each of the criteria set forth in subparagraphs (A)
to (E), inclusive, are no longer useful for navigation purposes and
are not necessary for those purposes, and may be sold by the State
Lands Commission, to the city, free of the public trust or any trust
imposed by Chapter 1333 of the Statutes of 1968, as amended, or both.
Before any reserved street areas within the project area may be
sold, the State Lands Commission shall make all of the following
findings regarding reserved street areas proposed for sale:
   (A) The area has been filled and reclaimed.
   (B) The area is located within the outer circumference of the ring
road for the project, as shown on the site diagram.
   (C) The area is no longer needed or required for promotion of the
public trust for commerce, navigation, and fisheries.
   (D) The state will receive consideration for the sale of the
street area that is equal to or greater in value than the value of
the street areas sold.
   (3) In any case in which the state, pursuant to this section,
conveys filled tidelands or submerged lands to the city, the state
shall reserve all minerals and all mineral rights in the lands of
every kind and character now known to exist or hereafter discovered,
including, but not limited to, oil and gas and rights thereto,
together with the sole, exclusive, and perpetual right to explore
for, remove, and dispose of those minerals by any means or methods
suitable to the state or to its successors and assignees, except
that, notwithstanding Chapter 1333 of
              the Statutes of 1968, as amended, or Section 6401, this
reservation shall not include the right of the state or its
successors or assignees in connection with any mineral exploration,
removal, or disposal activity, to do either of the following:
   (A) Enter upon, use, or damage the surface of the lands or
interfere with the use of the surface by any grantee or by the
grantee's successors or assignees.
   (B) Conduct any mining activities of any nature whatsoever above a
plane located 500 feet below the surface of the lands without the
prior written permission of any grantee of the lands or the grantee's
successors or assignees.
   (4) With respect to any filled tidelands or submerged lands
conveyed to the city pursuant to Chapter 2 of the Statutes of 1958,
First Extraordinary Session, the state shall comply with the
limitations on any mineral rights reservations provided for in
paragraph (3), and shall modify the instruments reserving those
mineral rights reservations, as appropriate, to memorialize those
limitations.
   (d) The property interests in the state property to be conveyed to
the city pursuant to the authorizations contained in subdivisions
(b) and (c) shall be subject to the following additional limitations:

   (1) No more than 20 acres of the state property may be paved or
otherwise used as permanent parking for the project.
   (2) No more than 60 acres of state property may be used for
intermittent public parking for football games and a limited number

days of the year, that state property shall be available to the
public for recreation purposes. Any agreements related to parking for
the project on state property north of Yosemite Slough shall
terminate no later than January 31, 2004.
   (3) The consideration for those property interests may consist of
any of the following:
   (A) Monetary consideration.
   (B) Improvements to the recreation area that support its use as a
public park.
   (C) Replacement of any portion of the recreation area conveyed to
the city with recreation benefits or facilities of equal or greater
value within the recreation area.
   (D) Other nonmonetary consideration, including, but not limited
to, relinquishment by the city of its reversionary rights over
parcels conveyed to the state in 1983 for formation of the recreation
area.
   (E) Any combination of the foregoing.
   (e) All state agencies shall take any necessary or appropriate
action to implement this section in a timely manner.

Shipyard Public Trust Exchange Act, is repealed.
  SEC. 6.  (a) All of the state's right, title, and interest,
acquired by virtue of its sovereignty, in any trust lands in which
the agency holds or acquires fee title, is hereby granted to and
vested in the agency, subject to the public trust and the terms and
conditions of this act.
   (b) Upon conveyance by the federal government to the agency of any
piers or other appurtenances located in part on Hunters Point
submerged lands, the grant of the state's right, title, and interest
in the Hunters Point submerged lands to the city pursuant to the
Burton Act shall be revoked, and all of the state's right, title, and
interest in those lands shall be granted to and vested in the
agency, subject to the public trust and the terms and conditions of
this act.
   (c) The agency shall hold the trust lands in trust for the benefit
of all the people of the state for purposes of commerce, navigation,
and fisheries, and for other public trust purposes, subject to the
terms and conditions of this act. Any trust lands held by the agency
pursuant to this act shall not be subject to the Burton Act trust.
  SEC. 7.  Notwithstanding Section 6359 of the Public Resources Code
or any other provision of law, the grant of trust lands to the agency
pursuant to this act shall be deemed effective as follows:
   (a) On January 1, 2010, with respect to trust lands owned by the
agency on that date.
   (b) With respect to trust lands acquired by the agency after
January 1, 2010, upon the agency's acquisition of those lands.
   (c) With respect to the Hunters Point submerged lands, upon
conveyance by the federal government to the agency of any piers or
other appurtenances located in part on the Hunters Point submerged
lands.
  SEC. 8.  (a) The agency may use, conduct, operate, maintain,
manage, administer, regulate, improve, lease, and control the trust
lands and do all things necessary in connection with that authority
that conform with the terms of this act and the public trust. Except
as provided in this act, the agency shall use the trust lands only in
a manner that is consistent with, necessary and convenient for, or
incidental or ancillary to, the purposes of the public trust.
   (b) In the management, conduct, operation, and control of the
trust lands, or any improvements, betterments, or structures on the
trust lands, the agency shall make no discrimination in rates, tolls,
or charges for a use or service in connection with that management.
  SEC. 9.  The agency shall not grant, convey, give, or alienate the
trust lands, or any part of the lands, to an individual, firm, or
corporation for any purpose, except as provided in this act or as
otherwise provided by statute.
  SEC. 10.  There is reserved in the people of the state the right to
hunt and fish in and over the waters on the trust lands, together
with the right of convenient access to the waters over the trust
lands for those purposes.
  SEC. 11.  The state shall reserve from the grant made in Section 6
of this act, and from any other conveyance pursuant to this act of
the state's interest, or any portion of the state's interest, in any
lands, all minerals and all mineral rights in the lands of every kind
and character now known to exist or hereafter discovered, including,
but not limited to, oil and gas and rights, together with the sole,
exclusive, and perpetual right to explore for, remove, and dispose of
those minerals by any means or methods suitable to the state or to
its successors and assignees, except that, notwithstanding the Burton
Act or Section 6401 of the Public Resources Code, this reservation
shall not include the right of the state or its successors or
assignees in connection with any mineral exploration, removal, or
disposal activity, to do either of the following:
   (a) Enter upon, use, or damage the surface of the lands or
interfere with the use of the surface by a grantee or by the grantee'
s successors or assignees. However, a lease, franchise, permit, or
license of the property shall contain a provision specifying at least
one point from which, and the manner in which, the right of ingress
or egress to the subsurface deposits may be exercised, which point or
points may be outside the area of the leasehold, franchise, permit,
or license, as long as the point or points are adequate to permit the
rights reserved to the state to be exercised.
   (b) Conduct any mining activities of any nature whatsoever above a
plane located 500 feet below the surface of the lands without the
prior written permission of a grantee of the lands or the grantee's
successors or assignees.
  SEC. 12.  The state has the right to use, without charge, any
transportation, land or storage improvements, wharves, docks, piers,
slips, quays, or other improvements constructed upon the trust lands,
for a vessel or other watercraft, aircraft, or railroad owned or
operated by the state.
  SEC. 13.  (a) The state reserves the right to amend, modify, or
revoke any and all rights in the trust lands granted to the agency
under this act.
   (b) No amendment or revocation, in whole or in part, of the
granted rights in the trust lands shall impair or affect the rights
or obligations of third parties, including debt, security, or bond
holders, lessees, lenders for value, and holders of contracts
conferring the right to the use or occupation of, or the right to
conduct operations upon or within, the trust lands, arising from
leases, contracts, or other instruments lawfully entered into prior
to the effective date of the amendment or revocation. For purposes of
this section, the term "bonds" includes, without limitation, tax
increment bonds, revenue bonds, certificates of participation, and
any other bonds or forms of indebtedness secured by or payable from,
in whole or in part, revenues derived from trust lands.
   (c) If a lease, contract, or other instrument described in
subdivision (b) is in effect on the effective date of an amendment or
revocation, the state, at its option exercised by and through the
commission, may succeed to the agency's interest in the lease,
contract, or instrument. Otherwise, the agency's interest in the
instrument, property, and revenue shall continue during the term or
other period during which the instrument shall remain in effect. An
action taken by the state shall not cause the agency to breach or
default under a lease, contract, or instrument in effect on the
effective date of an amendment or a revocation. All bonds or
securities issued by the agency and payable out of revenues from the
trust lands shall continue to be so payable, directly or indirectly,
and secured in all respects as provided in the proceedings for their
issuance, and the revenues of the trust lands shall be pledged and
applied to the payment of the bonds or securities in all respects as
though no amendment or revocation had taken place.
  SEC. 14.  The agency may grant franchises, permits, privileges,
licenses, easements, or leasehold interests (leases) in connection
with the trust lands, or any part of the trust lands, each for a term
not exceeding 66 years. A lease of the trust lands shall be solely
for uses that are consistent with, necessary and convenient for, or
incidental or ancillary to, the purposes of the public trust, except
that a lease may be entered into for other uses if the agency has
made all of the following determinations:
   (a) There is no immediate trust-related need for the property
proposed to be leased.
   (b) The proposed lease is of a duration of no more than five years
and can be terminated in favor of trust uses as they arise.
   (c) The proposed lease prohibits the construction of new
structures or improvements on the subject property that, as a
practical matter, could prevent or inhibit the property from being
converted to a permissible trust use if necessary.
   (d) The proposed use of the leased property would not interfere
with commerce, navigation, fisheries, or any other existing trust use
or purpose.
  SEC. 15.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this act or
the Burton Act, the buildings, or any portion of a building,
identified by the State Historic Preservation Officer as contributors
to the Hunters Point Commercial Drydock Historic District, commonly
known as the Gatehouse (Building 204), Pumphouse 2 (Building 205),
Pumphouse 3 (Building 140), and the Tool and Paint Building (Building
207), may be used or leased for purposes not otherwise consistent
with the public trust, provided the trustee makes a finding that
there are no trust uses available that would allow for the
restoration and preservation of the space. A lease renewal,
extension, or granting of a new lease for a nontrust purpose shall
require a new finding that no trust uses are then available that
would allow for the restoration and preservation of the building, or
a part of it.
   (b) If a building described in subdivision (a) is used for a
nontrust purpose, and is remodeled, renovated, or used in a manner
that is inconsistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards
for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for
Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic
Buildings, the building shall be put to a public trust use from the
commencement of the inconsistent remodel, renovation, or use, unless
the continued nontrust use is authorized to continue under Section 14
of this act, if the agency is the trustee, or under the Burton Act,
if the city is the trustee.
   (c) If a building described in subdivision (a) is demolished,
subsequent use of the land and a replacement structure shall be
consistent with the public trust and the applicable statutory trust.
  SEC. 16.  (a) The agency shall deposit all moneys collected by the
agency arising out of the use or operation of any of the trust lands,
including all revenues derived from leases or other rights to use or
occupy the lands, into a special fund maintained by the agency. The
agency shall use the money in or belonging to the fund only for uses
and purposes consistent with the public trust and the requirements of
this act.
   (b) The agency shall prepare an annual statement of financial
conditions and operations and submit it to the commission each year
on or before October 1. The statement shall include a statement of
all revenues and expenditures related to trust lands and trust
assets, including obligations incurred, but not yet paid.
  SEC. 17.  (a) The agency may exchange portions of the trust lands
with a state agency, political subdivision, person, entity, or
corporation, or the United States or a political subdivision of the
United States, for other lands, if the agency determines, and the
commission adopts a resolution finding and declaring, all of the
following:
   (1) The portions of the trust lands to be exchanged have been
filled and reclaimed, are cut off from access to the waters of San
Francisco Bay, are no longer needed or required for the promotion of
the public trust for commerce, navigation, and fisheries, and
constitute a relatively small portion of the granted lands within the
city.
   (2) The lands to be acquired by the agency have a value equal to
or greater than the value of the lands for which they are to be
exchanged and are useful for the particular trust purposes authorized
by this act.
   (3) No substantial interference with trust uses and purposes will
ensue by virtue of the exchange.
   (b) Upon adoption of the resolution by the commission, the lands
conveyed by the agency shall be free from the public trust, and the
lands received by the agency in exchange shall be held subject to the
public trust and to the terms of this act.
   (c) The exchange authority granted by this section shall be in
addition to, and shall not operate as a limitation on, the exchange
authority granted by Sections 20 to 25, inclusive, of this act.
  SEC. 18.  Upon written agreement between the agency and the city,
acting by and through its Port Commission, the agency may transfer to
the city some or all of the trust lands in which the agency holds
fee title, provided that the commission has approved the transfer, or
the transfer is solely for purposes of street, utility, or public
right-of-way dedication. All of the right, title, and interest
granted to the agency under this act in any lands transferred to the
city under this section shall, upon transfer, be granted to and vest
in the city. The city shall hold the transferred lands subject to the
public trust and shall assume authority as trustee over those lands.
Lands transferred to the city pursuant to this section shall be
subject to the Burton Act trust and shall cease to be subject to the
terms and conditions of this act, except that Section 15 of this act
shall remain applicable to those lands. Nothing in this section shall
preclude the city from including trust lands held by the city as
part of an exchange authorized by this act.
  SEC. 19.  Notwithstanding the Burton Act or any other provision of
law, upon approval by the commission, the city may transfer to the
agency some or all of the Burton Act lands. All of the right, title,
and interest granted to the city under the Burton Act in any lands
transferred to the agency under this section shall, upon transfer, be
granted to and vest in the agency. The agency shall hold the
transferred lands subject to the public trust and the requirements of
this act, and shall assume authority as trust administrator over
those lands. Lands transferred to the agency under this section shall
cease to be subject to the Burton Act trust.
  SEC. 20.  The Legislature hereby approves an exchange of public
trust lands within the project area, whereby certain trust lands that
meet the criteria set forth in this act and therefore are not now
useful for public trust purposes will be freed from the public trust
and of the associated restrictions on use and alienation, and certain
other lands that are not now public trust lands and that are useful
for public trust purposes will be made subject to the public trust,
provided all of the following conditions are met:
   (a) The exchange results in a configuration of trust lands
substantially similar to that shown on the diagram in Section 25 of
this act.
   (b) The lands to be subject to the public trust are configured so
as to be accessible from the streets as finally configured in the
project area.
   (c) The exchange otherwise complies with the requirements of this
act.
   (d) The exchange is consistent with and furthers the purposes of
the public trust and this act.
  SEC. 21.  All lands exchanged into the trust under this act shall
be held by the trustee subject to the public trust and the applicable
statutory trust, and all lands exchanged out of the trust under this
section shall be free of the public trust and the applicable
statutory trust.
  SEC. 22.  The precise boundaries of the lands to be taken out of
the trust and the lands to be put into the trust pursuant to the
exchange shall be determined by the trustee or trustees with
authority over the lands to be exchanged, subject to the approval of
the commission. The commission is authorized to settle by agreement
with the trustees any disputes as to the location of the mean high
tide line in its last natural state, the boundaries of tidelands
conveyed into private ownership pursuant to various statutes, and any
other boundary lines which the commission deems necessary to
effectuate the exchange.
  SEC. 23.  (a) The commission is authorized to approve an exchange
of public trust lands within the project area that meets the
requirements of this act. Pursuant to this authority, the commission
shall establish appropriate procedures for effectuating the exchange.
The procedures shall include provisions for ensuring that lands are
not exchanged into the trust until either of the following has
occurred:
   (1) All remedial action necessary to protect human health and the
environment with respect to the hazardous substances on the land has
been completed as determined by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency, the California Department of Toxics Substances
Control, and the regional water quality control board, pursuant to
the Federal Facilities Agreement for the shipyard dated January 22,
1992, as amended, and the United States has provided a warranty in
accordance with Section 9620(h)(3)(A) of Title 42 of the United
States Code.
   (2) The United States has obtained a warranty deferral, approved
by the Governor in accordance with Section 9620(h)(3)(C) of Title 42
of the United States Code, involving land for which the commission
has determined to execute a certificate of acceptance of title.
   (b) The commission may not approve the exchange of any trust lands
unless it finds all of the following:
   (1) The configuration of trust lands within the project area upon
completion of the exchange is substantially similar to the
configuration shown on the diagram in Section 25 of this act,
includes all lands within the project area that are presently below
mean high tide, and consists of lands suitable to be impressed with
the public trust.
   (2) The final layout of streets in the project area will provide
access to the public trust lands and be consistent with the
beneficial use of the public trust lands.
   (3) The value of the lands to be exchanged into the trust is equal
to or greater than the value of the lands to be exchanged out of the
trust. In determining the value of these lands, the commission may
take into consideration the degree of uncertainty, if any, as to
whether the lands remain subject to the trust or have been freed from
the trust.
   (4) The lands to be taken out of the trust have been filled and
reclaimed, are cut off from access to navigable waters, are no longer
needed or required for the promotion of the public trust, and
constitute a relatively small portion of the lands granted by the
state within the city, and the exchange will not result in
substantial interference with trust uses and purposes.
   (5) Each trustee and a state agency, which owns or will own fee
title in any of the lands to be exchanged, has approved the exchange.

   (c) The commission may impose additional conditions on the
exchange authorized by this act if the commission determines that
these conditions are necessary to protect the public trust. At a
minimum, the commission shall ensure all of the following:
   (1) The streets and other transportation facilities located on
trust lands are designed to be compatible with the public trust.
   (2) The trust values of the hillside open space are preserved. To
this end, the commission shall ensure all of the following:
   (A) The final trust configuration maintains reasonable public
pedestrian and vehicular access between the hillside open space and
the waterfront, and in addition, between the top of the hillside open
space and other areas of the city.
   (B) View corridors are maintained and protected so that visitors
to the hillside open space can enjoy substantial vistas of San
Francisco Bay.
   (C) Direct vehicular and pedestrian access from the lower portions
of the shipyard to the top of the hillside open space area is
provided.
   (D) No liability to owners of adjacent upslope property, for
subjacent support or otherwise, is created by virtue of the trustee's
taking title to the hillside open space.
   (E) No moneys from the trust fund described in Section 16 of this
act may be used to provide direct benefit to the residential
development or to other uses of the nontrust portion of the hilltop
area adjacent to the hillside open space, or to offset or mitigate
impacts caused by those uses.
   (F) Street parking on the parkway adjacent to the top of the
hillside open space may not be restricted for residential parking and
shall remain accessible to the public for regional use. In addition,
adequate parking areas accessible to the public to support regional
use of the hillside open space shall be dedicated in an area adjacent
to the lower portion of the hillside open space.
   (d) For purposes of effectuating the exchange authorized by this
section, the commission is authorized to do all of the following:
   (1) Receive and accept on behalf of the state any lands or
interest in lands conveyed to the state by the parties to the
exchange agreement, including lands that are now and that will remain
subject to the public trust.
   (2) Convey by patent all of the right, title, and interest of the
state in lands that are to be free of the public trust upon
completion of an exchange of lands as authorized by this act and as
approved by the commission.
   (3) Convey to the trustee or trustees by patent all of the right,
title, and interest of the state in lands that are to be subject to
the public trust and the terms of this act or the Burton Act trust
upon completion of an exchange of lands as authorized by this act and
as approved by the commission, subject to the terms, conditions, and
reservations as the commission may determine are necessary to meet
the requirements of this act.
   (e) Nothing in this act shall be construed as conditioning or
otherwise limiting the authority of the state, the city, or the
agency from undertaking a public trust exchange or other conveyance
authorized by any other provision of law, including, but not limited
to, Section 17 of this act.
  SEC. 24.  An exchange of public trust land pursuant to Section 21
of this act may proceed in multiple phases, provided that with
respect to each phase, the commission, in addition to the findings
required by Section 23 of this act, finds both of the following:
   (a) The cumulative value of all of the lands exchanged into the
trust in the current and previous phases is equal to or greater than
the cumulative value of all of the lands exchanged out of the trust
in the current and previous phases. For purposes of calculating the
value of any lands added to or removed from the trust in an earlier
phase of the exchange, the commission shall utilize the value of
those lands as determined by the commission at the time of the
commission's approval of the earlier phase, adjusted for inflation in
a manner approved by the commission.
   (b) The lands exchanged into the trust at each phase are
configured in a way that furthers the purposes of the overall
exchange, including, but not limited to, having access to streets as
finally configured in the project area.
  SEC. 25.  The following diagram is a part of this act: [GRAPHIC
INSERT HERE:  SEE PRINTED VERSION OF THE BILL]
  SEC. 26.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
director may enter into an agreement to transfer to the agency or the
city an interest in a state property held by the department within
the state recreation area, provided that the director makes in
writing all of the following findings:
   (1) The department shall receive consideration equivalent to the
fair market value of any property interests it conveys, as provided
in subdivision (c).
   (2) The agreement shall provide benefits to the state recreation
area.
   (3) Any lands in which the state's sovereign interests are to be
conveyed shall be freed of the public trust, or shall be held by the
agency or the city subject to the public trust, pursuant to an
exchange agreement approved by the commission in accordance with this
act.
   (4) The configuration of park lands following the exchange shall
be substantially similar to that shown on the diagram included as
Section 27 of this act. If, at the time the exchange agreement is
entered into, the agency has not acquired title to any
                             portion of the lands within the shipyard
that are to be exchanged into the state recreation area, the
director may find that the requirements of this paragraph are met
with respect to those lands if the agreement obligates the agency to
transfer the lands to the department following the agency's
acquisition of the lands, and the other consideration received by the
department meets the requirements of paragraph (1) and subdivision
(c).
   (b) The director shall modify the boundaries of the state
recreation area as necessary to reflect any conveyances made pursuant
to this section.
   (c) The consideration for state property transferred pursuant to
subdivision (a) may consist of any of the following, or any
combination thereof:
   (1) Monetary consideration, which shall be dedicated and used for
improvement, maintenance, or operation of the state recreation area.
   (2) The cost of improvements to the state recreation area that
enhance its use as a public park.
   (3) Provisions for future revenue to fund the operation and
maintenance for all or part of the state recreation area.
   (4) Other nonmonetary consideration, including, but not limited
to, relinquishment of the city reversionary interest.
   (5) Land within the project area to be added to the state
recreation area.
   (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the director may
acquire or transfer on behalf of the department real property
pursuant to the agreement authorized by this section, provided that
the other requirements of this section are met, and the fair market
value of any real property acquired or transferred has been
determined by an appraisal prepared by the commission, the Real
Estate Services Division of the Department of General Services, or an
independent appraiser certified by the Office of Real Estate
Appraisers pursuant to Part 3 (commencing with Section 11300) of
Division 4 of the Business and Professions Code.
   (e) The agreement authorized by this section may be combined with
a trust exchange agreement authorized by this act. For purposes of
compliance with subdivision (d), the department may rely on an
appraisal prepared in connection with a trust exchange authorized by
this act.
   (f) The requirements of this section shall govern an agreement
entered into, or conveyance made pursuant to the agreement, and shall
supersede any other provision of law pertaining to the department's
authority to acquire or transfer real property, or to enter into an
agreement to acquire or transfer real property, including, but not
limited to, Article 1 (commencing with Section 11000) of Chapter 1 of
Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, Part 11
(commencing with Section 15850) of Division 3 of Title 2 of the
Government Code, and Chapter 1.695 (commencing with Section 5096.500)
of Division 5 of the Public Resources Code.
  SEC. 27.  The following diagram is a part of this act: [GRAPHIC
INSERT HERE:  SEE PRINTED VERSION OF THE BILL]
  SEC. 28.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares that the project
will further the important statewide interests in redevelopment, in
the elimination of blight, and in the provision of affordable housing
opportunities, and that the development of the project will further
the statewide purposes reflected in Section 3 of the 1958 Act. The
Legislature further finds and declares that it is necessary and in
furtherance of important statewide interests for any restrictions or
other encumbrances on title arising from Section 3 of the 1958 Act to
be eliminated so as to facilitate disposition of property within the
project area in furtherance of development of the project.
   (b) At the request of the city or the agency, the executive
officer of the commission shall, on behalf of the state, reasonably
cooperate with the requesting parties to cause to be prepared and
recorded any necessary deeds, patents, agreements, or other
instruments for the purpose of removing any deed restrictions or
other encumbrances on title arising from Section 3 of the 1958 Act.
  SEC. 29.  Section 3 of Chapter 2 of the Statutes of 1958 of the
First Extraordinary Session is repealed. 
   Sec. 3.  The City and County of San Francisco, its successors, and
assigns, may use such streets and railway right-of-way for any
purpose of general statewide interest, including but not limited to
public parking, and may, for such purposes, reclaim or fill such
streets and railway right-of-way. 
  SEC. 30.  An exchange or other agreement made pursuant to this act
is hereby found to be of statewide significance and importance.
Therefore, no ordinance, charter provision, or other provision of
local law inconsistent with this act applies to that exchange or
agreement.
  SEC. 31.  Nothing in this act may be construed to nullify the city
or the agency's obligations for increasing, improving, and preserving
the community's supply of low- and moderate-income housing imposed
by the Community Redevelopment Law, including, but not limited to,
the requirements of Sections 33334.2 and 33413 of the Health and
Safety Code.
  SEC. 32.  Nothing in this act may be construed to authorize the
development of housing on public trust land.
  SEC. 33.  A deed, patent, agreement, or other instrument executed
in furtherance of this act, or an action of the city, state, or
agency, to approve the use, lease, or conveyance of a city, state, or
agency property subject to this act, or any portion thereof, or to
approve project agreements, grant entitlements or permits, or issue
bonds or other indebtedness in connection with the use and
development of that property, shall be conclusively presumed to be
valid unless held to be invalid in an appropriate proceeding in a
court of competent jurisdiction to determine the validity of the
agreement commenced within 60 days after the recording of the
agreement.
  SEC. 34.  An action may be brought under Chapter 9 (commencing with
Section 860) of Title 10 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure to
determine the legality and validity of a deed, patent, agreement, or
other instrument executed in furtherance of or authorized by this
act, or an action of the city to use, lease, or convey any property,
or to approve project agreements, grant entitlements or permits, or
issue bonds or other indebtedness in connection with the use and
development of that property. Before the filing of an action, the
Attorney General, the director, and the executive officer of the
commission shall be provided written notice of the action and a copy
of the complaint.
  SEC. 35.  If a provision of this act, or its application to a
person, property, or circumstance, is held invalid by a court, the
invalidity or inapplicability of that provision shall not affect any
other provision of this act or the application of that provision to
any other person, property, or circumstance, and the remaining
portions of this act shall continue in full force and effect, unless
enforcement of this act as so modified by and in response to that
invalidation would be grossly inequitable under all of the
circumstances, or would frustrate the fundamental purposes of this
act.
  SEC. 36.  The Legislature finds and declares that, because of the
unique circumstances applicable only to the lands described in this
act, a statute of general applicability cannot be enacted within the
meaning of subdivision (b) of Section 16 of Article IV of the
California Constitution. Therefore, this special statute is
necessary.
  SEC. 37.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district are the result of a program for which legislative authority
was requested by that local agency or school district, within the
meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code and Section 6 of
Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
