How it got here
The legislation originated from the need to accept and maintain public park improvements in the Mission Bay area, specifically Parks P22 and P19, as part of the ongoing development and management of the Mission Bay South Redevelopment Plan.
The Board adopted the Mission Bay South Redevelopment Plan through Ordinance No. 335-98, establishing a framework for public improvements, including parks.
OCII determined that the acceptance of the Park P22 and P19 improvements is consistent with the Mission Bay South Redevelopment Plan and recommended acceptance to the Board of Supervisors.
The Planning Department found that the acceptance of the parks is consistent with the General Plan and does not require further environmental review under CEQA.
The Port Commission recommended that the Board of Supervisors delegate authority to accept the park improvements and related actions for Parks P22 and P19.
The Public Works Director recommended conditional acceptance of the grant deed for Park P22 and delegation of authority to the Port Commission for park acceptance.
The committee reviewed and amended the ordinance, recommending it for passage by the Board of Supervisors.
The Board of Supervisors finally passed the ordinance, enabling the acceptance and maintenance of Parks P22 and P19.
