Notwithstanding any other provision of this division, the conservancy may acquire and improve real property, or any interests therein, anywhere within the zone upon a finding that the action is consistent with the plan. If the proposed acquisition or improvement is within the coastal zone, the executive director of the conservancy shall submit the proposal to the State Coastal Conservancy for review at least 60 days prior to approval by the conservancy. If the State Coastal Conservancy has not, within 60 days from the date of submission, acted to disapprove the proposed acquisition or improvement on the grounds that the project is in conflict with or would jeopardize an approved project of the State Coastal Conservancy or a proposed project as identified in a written preproject feasibility report as adopted by the State Coastal Conservancy, the acquisition or improvement may proceed pursuant to this section.
