Author: Scott D. Wiener

Summary
SB 273, Wiener. Tidelands and submerged lands: City and County of San Francisco: Piers 30-32: mixed-use development. The State Lands Commission has jurisdiction over tidelands and submerged lands of the state. Existing law, the Burton Act, grants to the City and County of San Francisco the right, title, and interest of the State of California in and to certain tidelands and submerged lands in trust for certain purposes. Existing law establishes the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission and requires any person or governmental agency wishing to place fill, to extract materials, or to make any substantial change in use of any water, land, or structure, within the area of the commission’s jurisdiction to secure a permit from the commission.Existing law authorizes the State Lands Commission to approve a mixed-use development on the San Francisco waterfront at Piers 30-32, which would include a multipurpose venue for events and public assembly, if the State Lands Commission finds, at a properly noticed public meeting, that specified conditions are met.This bill would revise those provisions to instead authorize the State Lands Commission to approve, as consistent with the public trust, as defined, a mixed-use development on the San Francisco waterfront at Piers 30-32, that includes general office use, if the State Lands Commission finds, at a properly noticed public meeting, that specified conditions are met, including, among others, that the mixed-use development is designed to attract the statewide public to the waterfront, increase public enjoyment of the San Francisco Bay, encourage public trust activities, and enhance public use of trust assets and resources on the waterfront.This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute because of the unique circumstances applicable only to Piers 30-32 in the City and County of San Francisco.
