Document Title: Restoration and Removal of Tennis Courts by Marriott Marquis at the San Diego Convention Center
Document Type: NOE - Notice of Exemption
Received: 9/14/2018

Document Description: The proposed project involves the restoration of three existing tennis courts and the removal of three existing tennis courts on the rooftop of the San Diego Convention Center located at 111 West Harbor Dr. The 3 tennis courts located on the eastern side of the rooftop would be restored to the same size and shape as the existing courts and the existing lighting would be repaired. The 3 tennis courts located on the western side of the rooftop would be removed and the surface would be primed and painted consistent with the existing rooftop. All proposed work would be conducted by a work crew on the Convention Center rooftop, which is a part of the leasehold the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina currently holds with the District at 333 West Harbor Dr. All proposed work would take approx six months to complete. Once operational, the 3 newly restored tennis courts would be opened to Marriott guests and members of the general public. Due to its limited scope, construction of the proposed project would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would therefore not result in any significant impacts including, but not limited to, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise or transportation and traffic. Furthermore, the project applicant would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regulating stormwater and construction demolition debris recycling.
