(1) The grant in trust for the people of the State of California made pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be made upon the express condition that the County of Los Angeles shall use, operate, and maintain the granted lands and improvements on the granted lands 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. A violation of this prohibition or a violation of subdivision (e) shall constitute a breach of conditions for purposes of paragraph (2).
2.

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 ($1,500,000). The returned funds shall be deposited into the State Parks and Recreation Fund.
3. (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) An operating agreement between the State of California and the County of Los Angeles pertaining to any of the real property described in subdivision (a), in existence at the time of the grant, shall be terminated by operation of law upon the conveyance of the real property to the County of Los Angeles.

1. (1)
  1. (A) No new or expanded commercial development shall be allowed on the granted real property.
  2. (B) A 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 ($250,000), as adjusted annually to reflect the California Construction Index utilized by the Department of General Services. An 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.
  3. (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.
  4. (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 federal 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).
2. (2) The granted lands and improvements shall 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. A 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 an 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 before that date that serves the same or similar purposes.
