Bill > AB1252

This bill authorizes the California Department of Parks and Recreation to enter into a lease agreement with the City of Los Angeles and the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority to acquire the Elephant Hill property located in the El Sereno area of Los Angeles. Once the lease is finalized, the State Park and Recreation Commission is required to classify Elephant Hill as a unit of the state park system, and the department must subsequently prepare a general plan for the property. The bill includes a special legislative finding that emphasizes the unique necessity of creating a specific statute for this particular property, which suggests the site has special environmental or conservation significance. By adding Section 5015.9 to the Public Resources Code, the bill creates a specific legal pathway for the acquisition and management of this specific parcel of land, ensuring its protection and potential future development as a state park unit. The bill's language indicates a focused effort to preserve and potentially develop Elephant Hill as a public recreational or conservation space.
