Assembly Bill No. 684
CHAPTER 847

An act relating to state property.

[ Filed with Secretary of State  October 06, 1993. Approved by Governor  October 05, 1993. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 684, Cannella. State property: Yosemite Community College District.
Existing law required the Director of General Services to quitclaim all interests of the state, with certain exceptions, in certain real property of the Modesto State Hospital facility, and provided that the property shall revert to the state in the event that either the county or the district ceased to use the property for a public purpose. Existing law further required the director to sell, for 50% of current market value, certain other property of the Modesto State Hospital facility to the Yosemite Community College District for use as a regional instructional center and related purposes, and provided for it to revert to the state if the district ceased to use the property for that purpose. The director conveyed the properties as required.
This bill would make certain findings and declarations of intent by the Legislature respecting property transferred to the Yosemite Community College District, and would permit the district to continue to use the property subject to certain conditions. The bill would also require the district to include in any land use agreement that results from this act a statement that holds the State of California harmless for any actions connected with the use of the land in question. The imposition of this requirement on the district would create a state-mandated local program.
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.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 The Legislature finds and declares that due to changes in economic conditions that were unforeseen at the time of the conveyances, the conditions imposed on the use of property acquired by the Yosemite Community College District from the state in 1970 and 1977 have created a detriment, rather than a benefit, to the overall purposes of the state. It is therefore the intent of the Legislature to recognize that changed conditions in the Yosemite Community College District create changing public needs.

SEC. 2.

 The Legislature declares that certain real property transferred to the Yosemite Community College District and the County of Stanislaus, in accordance with Chapter 291 of the Statutes of 1970 and Chapter 1031 of the Statutes of 1977, continues to be used for a public purpose. That purpose includes, but is not limited to, support for activities that generate revenues for the education programs offered to residents of the district and that have a connection to the educational programs offered by the district.
The Yosemite Community College District may continue to use the property so long as the revenues derived from the use of the land confer a benefit on the students and residents of the area. Any proposed new use of the land shall be subject to review by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges and to assurances by the district that the revenues derived from the proposed use continue to benefit the students and residents of the area.
The Yosemite Community College District shall include in any land use agreement that results from this act a statement that holds the State of California harmless for any actions connected with the use of the land in question.

SEC. 3.

 The proposed use of the property conveyed to the Yosemite Community College District in accordance with Chapter 291 of the Statutes of 1970 and Chapter 1031 of the Statutes of 1977 shall be subject to local zoning requirements and not subject to sale.

SEC. 4.

 No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII  B of the California Constitution because this act is in accordance with the request of a local agency or school district which desired legislative authority to carry out the program specified in this act. Notwithstanding Section 17580 of the Government Code, unless otherwise specified in this act, the provisions of this act shall become operative on the same date that the act takes effect pursuant to the California Constitution.
