Nothing in this chapter limits the effect of any grant of tide or submerged lands made prior to June 11, 1938, to any city, county or other political subdivision, nor in any manner to prejudice whatever claim the state, on the one hand, or such city, county or political subdivision, on the other, may have in or to the right to extract or authorize the extraction of oil or gas or other minerals underlying such lands.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, no city, county or political subdivision to which the state has granted tide or submerged lands without reserving minerals shall enter into any lease or agreement for the extraction of oil, gas or other hydrocarbons from such tide and submerged lands within any area described in subdivisions (a) though (e), inclusive, of Section 6871.2 of this code, or from tide and submerged lands along the coast of the Pacific Ocean south of the northerly city limits of the City of Newport Beach in Orange County to the southerly boundary of the state until the State Lands Commission has made findings in accordance with the provisions of Section 6872 of this code regarding any lands within any area described in subdivisions (a), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 6871.2 of this code, or has made findings in accordance with the provisions of Section 6872.1 of this code regarding any lands within the area described in subdivision (b) of Section 6871.2 of this code, or has made findings in accordance with the provisions of Section 6872 of this code regarding any tide or submerged lands along the coast of the Pacific Ocean south of the northerly city limits of the City of Newport Beach in Orange County to the southerly boundary of the state.
Provided further that any lease or agreement for the extraction of oil and gas or other hydrocarbons from such granted tide or submerged lands authorized to be entered into by a county, city or political subdivision after necessary findings are made by the State Lands Commission as heretofore provided shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 6872.1 of this code in respect to any lands within the area described in subdivision (b) of Section 6871.2 of this code, and shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 6872.2 of this code in respect to any tide or submerged lands along the coast of the Pacific Ocean south of the northerly city limits of the City of Newport Beach in Orange County to the southerly boundary of the state.
