Document Description
The proposed project would be for an amendment to the Coastal Act Categorical Determination of Exclusion (Project No. 2025-037) for the Tidelands Use and Occupancy Permit (TUOP) to Coronado Cays Yacht Club (CCYC) (Tenant) to update the square footage of use from approximately 15,265 to approximately 55,450 square feet of land area that is contiguous to the CCYC leasehold on Grand Caribe Isle in the city of Coronado, California. This amendment would not allow for an expansion of use from the previously approved Project No. 2025-037, but is instead meant to clarify the use of two land areas included in the TUOP. Approximately 16,750 square feet of land area proposed for use under this TUOP is currently and is proposed to be used only and exclusively for the purpose of outdoor event space for yacht club related activities, special events (e.g., weddings, private parties and charitable events), bocce ball court, and kitchen facilities serving the CCYC leasehold and premises. In addition, the Tenant would be granted the continued non-exclusive right to use approximately 38,700 square feet of land area on Caribe Cay Boulevard North for the parking of the vehicles of CCYC, its customers, employees and business invitees, and for no other purpose whatsoever (other than the access to the CCYC leasehold and ingress and egress to and from the CCYC leasehold without the prior written consent of the Executive Director of District in each instance. The Tenant would be responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations associated with the activities on or in connection with the above-described premises, and in all uses thereof, including those regulating stormwater and hazardous materials. No new development, construction, or increase in the size of the property is proposed or authorized as part of the TUOP.
It is anticipated that the TUOP would have a total term of approximately five (5) years. The TUOP may be terminated by the District or Tenant as a matter of right and without cause at any time upon providing 180 days’ notice in writing to the other party of such termination.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1)
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is determined to be Categorically Exempt pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 3.a.(4) of the District’s Guidelines for Compliance with CEQA because it would be for a new short-term tenancy agreement which would involve no expansion of use beyond that previously existing and would not result in a significant cumulative impact due to the continuation of the existing use. Section 3.a.(4) of the District’s CEQA Guidelines is as follows:
3.a. Existing Facilities (SG § 15301) (Class 1): Includes operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that previously existing, including but not limited to:
(4) New and renewed short-term tenancy agreements which do not result in change in the existing use. This exemption does not apply to any new development associated with the activities of the tenant. This exception is also inapplicable if the cumulative impact of continuing the existing use or conditions in the same place, over time, is significant.
