Document Description
The proposed project is a renewal of a Tideland Use and Occupancy Permits (TUOP) to Laurie Wyatt Driscoll (Tenant) for their continued use of approximately 3,729 sq. ft. of tideland and water areas (Premises) located southerly of 929 Scott Street, located in the City of San Diego, California. The proposed project renewal is not a separate project for CEQA purposes, but it is a subsequent approval related to the previously approved TUOP issued in July 2020 and expired December 2022 (Project No. 2020-079). No new development, construction, or increase in the size of the properties is proposed or authorized as part of this TUOP renewal. The area proposed for use under this TUOP is currently and is proposed to be used only and exclusively for the purpose of a recreational pier, associated ramp and float, berthing of recreational boats, and such other non-exclusive uses as may be approved by the Executive Director of the San Diego Unified Port District (District) and for no other purpose whatsoever without the prior written consent of the Executive Director of District in each instance. Boats to be berthed at the piers would be owned by the Tenant as evidenced by proof of documentation and restricted to the boundaries of the permitted Premises; the Executive Director of District may approve the berthing of other recreational boats owned by guests or invitees of the Tenant. Activities of Tenant would not interfere with the use and enjoyment by the general public of those portions of the piers as designated by for public use including the unrestricted right of access on all portions of the pier beginning from the foot of the pier adjacent to the land, to the gate near the pierhead. The Tenant shall post legible and visible signs stating that the public portions of each pier are open to the public. The Tenant, however, may restrict the general public's right of access to public portions of the piers to daylight hours only, from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset (according to the National Weather Service) and to non-public portions of the piers via a locked gate. 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.
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 thirty (30) days’ notice in writing to the other part of such termination.
