Tidelands and submerged lands: City and County of San Francisco: Pier 70.

Existing law 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. Under existing law, the Burton Act, and the Burton Act transfer agreement, the interest of the state in and to the Harbor of San Francisco was transferred in trust to the City and County of San Francisco. The State Lands Commission has jurisdiction over tidelands and submerged lands of the state. This bill would authorize the State Lands Commission to approve an exchange of trust lands within the Pier 70 area, as defined, subject to specified conditions. The bill would provide that lands exchanged out of the trust are free from the requirements of the public trust, the Burton Act trust, and the Burton Act transfer agreement, and lands to be exchanged are subject to the requirements of the public trust, the Burton Act trust, and the Burton Act transfer agreement. The bill would provide that the precise boundaries of the lands to be taken out of the trust and the lands to be put into the trust pursuant to the exchange shall be determined by the Port of San Francisco, subject to the approval of the commission. All lands exchanged into the public trust shall be held by the Port of San Francisco. This bill would authorize the use or lease of historic buildings situated on trust lands for purposes not otherwise consistent with the public trust or the Burton Act trust if specified requirements are met. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for Pier 70 in the City and County of San Francisco.
