In adopting the provisions of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code:
(A) Wherever the State of California is named or referred to as the taxing agency, the name of the city shall be substituted therefor. However, the substitution, however, shall not be made when:

(2) The result of that substitution would require action to be taken by or against the city or any agency, officer, or employee thereof rather than by or against the State Board of Equalization, in performing the functions incident to the administration or operation of this chapter;
(3) In those sections, including, but not necessarily limited to, sections referring to the exterior boundaries of the State of California, where the result of the substitution would be to:
(a) Provide an exemption from this tax with respect to certain sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property which would not otherwise be exempt from this tax while such sales, storage, use or other consumption remain subject to tax by the State under the provisions of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code; or
(b) Impose this tax with respect to certain sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property which would not be subject to tax by the state under the said provisions of that Code;
