The department, with the consent of the Department of General Services, may lease any interest in real or personal property which the department deems necessary or proper for the extension, improvement, or development of the state park system. No payment from state money in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000) a year shall be made pursuant to any such lease unless and until money equal to or exceeding one-half of the excess over one thousand dollars ($1,000) shall have been made available for expenditure by the state for the purpose by some person, corporation, public district, municipality or political subdivision other than the state, or by the United States or an agency thereof. No lease shall be executed under this section until the department has first consulted with the planning commission of the county in which the department proposes to lease lands for park or recreational purposes. The provisions of this section shall not apply when the Department of General Services leases land for the use of the Department of Parks and Recreation under § 14669 of the Government Code.
