Sec. 410aaa-56. Acquisition of lands

    The Secretary is authorized to acquire all lands and interest in

exchange, except that--
        (1) any lands or interests therein within the boundary of the 
    preserve which are owned by the State of California, or any 
    political subdivision thereof, may be acquired only by donation or 
    exchange except for lands managed by the California State Lands 
    Commission; and
        (2) lands or interests therein within the boundary of the 
    preserve which are not owned by the State of California or any 
    political subdivision thereof may be acquired only with the consent 
    of the owner thereof unless the Secretary determines, after written 
    notice to the owner and after opportunity for comment, that the 
    property is being developed, or proposed to be developed, in a 
    manner which is detrimental to the integrity of the preserve or 
    which is otherwise incompatible with the purposes of this part: 
    Provided, however, That the construction, modification, repair, 
    improvement, or replacement of a single-family residence shall not 
    be determined to be detrimental to the integrity of the preserve or 
    incompatible with the purposes of this part.
