Property leased pursuant to this section may be used for purposes inconsistent with the use or purposes contemplated upon the original acquisition of such property by the county or city and county or to which such property has been dedicated if the property has belonged to the county or city and county for 10 years and such use or purposes have been abandoned.

No county or city and county shall enter into any such contract if at the time 60 percent of the total payments which would become due from the county or city and county if all leases, including the contract to be let, entered into under the authority of this section, were to run their full term plus the total amount of county or city and county bonded indebtedness outstanding at said time exceeds the maximum bonded indebtedness of the county or city and county.
