SEC. 1.5.
  As used in Senate Bill 815 and Assembly Bill 2649, each term set forth in Section 1 of this act shall have the meaning ascribed to it in that section and, in the event of any conflict between this act and Senate Bill 815 or Assembly Bill 2649, this act shall prevail.
SEC. 2.
 The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The seawall lots are tidelands that were filled and cut off from the waterfront by the construction of the great seawall in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and by the construction of the Embarcadero roadway which lies, in part, over a portion of the great seawall. Over time, some seawall lots, including the designated seawall lots, have ceased to be useful in whole or in part for the promotion of the public trust and the Burton Act trust, except for the production of revenue to support the Burton Act trust. The designated seawall lots are either vacant or leased on an interim basis, primarily for parking.
(b) Seawall Lot 337, the largest of the designated seawall lots, is located just south of China Basin and used as a surface parking lot. Senate Bill 815 depicts Seawall Lot 337 as bounded by Mission Rock Street, Terry A. Francois Boulevard, and Third Street. The port commission entered into exclusive negotiations with the Seawall Lot 337 developer for the lease, construction, and operation of a proposed project at Seawall Lot 337, a portion of Terry A. Francois Boulevard, Pier 48, and the marginal wharf between Pier 48 and Pier 50. The Legislature finds that the revitalization of Seawall Lot 337 and Pier 48 is of particular importance to the state.
(c) The Mission Bay South redevelopment project area lies to the west and south of Seawall Lot 337. Parcel P20, based on the Mission Bay South redevelopment plan, is a narrow, undeveloped strip of land within the Mission Bay South redevelopment project area that is bounded on the north by the northern line of Mission Rock Street in its former location, and overlaps a portion of Seawall Lot 337. In accordance with the Mission Bay South redevelopment plan, the Mission Bay developer has since realigned Mission Rock Street from its northeasterly orientation to an east-west orientation, such that a portion of Parcel P20 and the former Mission Rock Street right of way now lie north of the northerly line of Mission Rock Street. The development proposal for Seawall Lot 337 includes this portion of Parcel P20 and the former Mission Rock Street.
(d) Under the development proposal, the Seawall Lot 337 developer would realign Terry A. Francois Boulevard and use part of the northern section of the street to expand China Basin Park. The remaining portion of the realigned Terry A. Francois Boulevard would be a working waterfront street that would support active maritime, industrial, and production uses at the waterfront. Terry A. Francois Boulevard would include areas for social spaces and loading zones serving buildings, a pedestrian throughway, a shared zone, and the Blue Greenway adjacent to the bay and Piers 48 and 50, facilitating uninterrupted public access along San Francisco’s eastern waterfront.
(e) A substantial investment in new infrastructure and public facilities is necessary for the port to fully realize the public benefits of the portions of Seawall Lot 337 that will be used for public trust purposes, and to maximize the value of development parcels that will be subject to nontrust leases. The infrastructure costs for Seawall Lot 337 are expected to exceed one hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000) based on estimates presented to the port commission when it endorsed a term sheet for the project in 2013. The development proposal provides for the Seawall Lot 337 developer to construct the necessary infrastructure and public facilities, which would be funded by developer equity to the extent that port land value is unavailable. Project-based public financing would be used to pay directly or to reimburse the Seawall Lot 337 developer for its equity advances for infrastructure costs under CFD law, IFD law, and other applicable laws.
(f) Project-based public financing, which includes special taxes, property tax increment, and other nontrust funding sources arising from the project may not become available until after the port receives nontrust lease revenues from development parcels in Seawall Lot 337. The port may have the opportunity to loan nontrust lease revenues for Seawall Lot 337 infrastructure costs for the purpose of reducing financing costs and maximizing the land value to the port to generate additional revenue that can be used for preservation of the port’s historic piers and structures and for other public trust uses.
(g) In 1965, the Legislature adopted the McAteer-Petris Act to protect and enhance San Francisco Bay and its natural resources. Among other things, the McAteer-Petris Act grants BCDC regulatory authority over further filling in San Francisco Bay and limits that activity to: (1) water-oriented uses that meet specified criteria; (2) minor fill that improves shoreline appearance or public access; and (3) activities necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of the public in the entire bay area. The McAteer-Petris Act also directs BCDC to require the provision of maximum feasible public access to the bay and its shoreline consistent with a project.
(h) In 1969, the Legislature received and acted upon BCDC’s report and recommendations from a three-year study of San Francisco Bay. The resulting Bay Plan includes BCDC’s policies to guide use and protection of all areas within BCDC’s jurisdiction and ensures that proposed projects minimize bay fill and provide maximum feasible public access to the bay.
(i) Bay Plan policy concerning filling for bay-oriented commercial recreation and bay-oriented public assembly on privately owned or publicly owned property, also known as the replacement fill policy, provides in part that BCDC may permit fill on publicly owned land for bay-oriented commercial recreation and bay-oriented public assembly if certain conditions are met, including all of the following:
(1) The fill is a replacement pier that covers less of the bay than the area that is being uncovered.
(2) The amount of bay-oriented commercial recreation or bay-oriented public assembly use covers no more than 50 percent of the area of the bay uncovered.
(3) The remainder of the replaced pier (50 percent) shall be used for public recreation, public access, or open space, including open water.
(j) The application of the replacement fill policy to the piers along the northeastern waterfront created substantial challenges to port and BCDC efforts to improve the waterfront. In part to address this issue, BCDC and the port, together with the Save San Francisco Bay Association and numerous community groups and individuals, undertook a planning process that resulted in amendments to the port’s waterfront land use plan and BCDC’s special area plan. Those amendments focused on the northeastern waterfront with the goal of achieving the following objectives:
(1) Reconnecting the city to its waterfront.
(2) Increasing open water, public access, and opportunities to enjoy the San Francisco waterfront in a manner that completes the open space and public access network in the northeastern waterfront.
(3) Providing for new development that attracts people to the bay and increases revenue to the port and the city.
(4) Preserving historic resources and waterfront urban form.
(k) The special area plan amendments focused primarily on the northeastern waterfront and prescribed certain actions to implement the plan, including all of the following:
(1) Establishing a joint design review process for projects on the northeastern waterfront, leading to the creation of the Waterfront Design Advisory Committee.
(2) Requiring the port to prepare a nomination of the northeastern waterfront from Pier 35 to China Basin as an historic district listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
(3) Authorizing BCDC, through its permitting authority, to set aside otherwise applicable use limitations on new bay fill, including the replacement fill policy, as a means to provide an integrated package of public benefits that prescribed removal of specified piers, restoration of significant open water areas, completion of the waterfront-wide, integrated public access network, preservation of significant historic resources, and development of new uses in the interests of the health, safety, or welfare of the public throughout the bay area.
(l) The special area plan amendments did not affect the application of the replacement fill policy to piers north of Pier 35 or south of China Basin. BCDC, the port, and other participants assumed that then-dominant industrial and maritime activities south of China Basin would continue and grow. The entire southern waterfront, including Pier 48 and about six acres of Seawall Lot 337 adjacent to the piers, remained designated as a port priority use area in the seaport plan to accommodate growth in neo-bulk and break bulk cargo activities.
(m) At the time the special area plan amendments were being drafted, it was not known that Pier 48 would be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. In the course of preparing the nomination report for the Embarcadero Historic District, the port discovered that Pier 48 is a contributing resource to the district. As a result, the district, which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, extends south of China Basin to include Pier 48.
(n) The historic use of Pier 48 for break bulk cargo operations is no longer viable due to a number of factors, including the construction of the Embarcadero roadway and Terry A. Francois Boulevard, elimination of rail service to the piers, and the inability of finger piers to accommodate modern containerized cargo operations. The port operates a break bulk facility at Pier 80, which has unused capacity for break bulk cargo. Pier 48 maritime berths are currently used for maritime industrial purposes.
(o) Pier 48 is ideally situated to provide public access to and enjoyment of the waterfront and bay. It is within walking distance of the Ferry Building, AT&T Park, and regional transit hubs, including the Transbay Transit Center, which is under construction, and has views of the bay, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, and the Brannan Street Wharf. The proposed reuse of Pier 48 includes visitor-serving uses, public access, historic rehabilitation of the pier consistent with the United States Interior Secretary’s Standards for Rehabilitation, berthing facilities, and other uses. This act amends the seaport plan and the special area plan to allow Pier 48 to be treated similarly to the other finger piers in the Embarcadero Historic District and to remove the port priority use area designation from Pier 48.
SEC. 3.
 If the adjacent streets and park areas are realigned or reconfigured in connection with the development of Seawall Lot 337, the boundaries of Seawall Lot 337 shall be revised to conform to the realigned or reconfigured park or street boundaries, if the new boundaries are approved by the executive officer of the commission. The executive officer of the commission may require that a legal description and record of survey be approved by the commission.
SEC. 4.
 Subdivisions (c), (d), and (f) of Section 34163 of the Health and Safety Code, and subdivisions (a) and (b) of Section 34164 of the Health and Safety Code, shall not apply to, and no action of the Department of Finance or the Controller shall be required for, any action taken by the oversight board, the successor agency commission, the board of supervisors, or any other governmental body required to act to amend the Mission Bay South redevelopment plan to remove Parcel P20 from the Mission Bay South redevelopment project area, or to amend any related documents or agreements to delete regulatory requirements, zoning controls, and the Mission Bay developer’s obligations with respect to Parcel P20.
SEC. 5.
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Assembly Bill 2649, (a) a nontrust lease of Seawall Lot 322-1 may be entered into for the same duration as permitted for other designated seawall lots, as provided in subdivision (c) of Section 4 of Senate Bill 815, as amended by this act, (b) the operative date of Sections 3 to 5, inclusive, of Assembly Bill 2649 shall be coterminous with the operative date of Sections 3, 4, 4.5, and 6 of Senate Bill 815, as provided in Section 7 of Senate Bill 815, as amended by this act, and (c) the requirements pertaining to structures, buildings, and appurtenances on Seawall Lot 322-1 shall be the same as for other designated seawall lots as provided in Section 7 of Senate Bill 815, as amended by this act.
SEC. 6.
 The Legislature, in the exercise of its retained power as trustee of the public trust, and in view of the unique circumstances existing at Seawall Lot 337 and Pier 48 on the San Francisco waterfront, hereby authorizes the following:
(a) Pier 48, the wharf between Pier 48 and Pier 50, and the portion of Seawall Lot 337 currently designated for port priority use are no longer required for port priority use and shall be deemed free of the port priority use area designation as of January 1, 2017. BCDC and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall reprint the seaport plan to reflect the removal of the port priority use designation from these areas, but this subdivision shall apply regardless of whether the conforming changes have been made.
(b) As of January 1, 2017, the special area plan is amended to include Pier 48 in the northeastern waterfront, which shall be deemed to serve the health, safety, and welfare of the entire bay area, and BCDC is authorized to issue a major permit for a project at Pier 48 applying the special area plan policies and other criteria applicable to finger piers in the northeastern waterfront, including that the replacement fill policy shall not apply to that project, if the project will rehabilitate Pier 48 consistent with the United States Interior Secretary’s Standards for Rehabilitation. BCDC shall reprint the special area plan to reflect the inclusion of Pier 48 in the northeastern waterfront, but this subdivision shall apply to the Pier 48 project regardless of whether the conforming changes have been made.
(c) Nothing in this act is intended to limit the authority and discretion of BCDC to approve or deny permits for the mixed-use development on Pier 48 and the marginal wharf between Pier 48 and Pier 50 generally described in this act in a manner consistent with the McAteer-Petris Act or the policies of the Bay Plan and the special area plan, as those policies are modified by subdivisions (a) and (b), including the authority and discretion of BCDC to impose conditions on the permits for the project. This act shall not limit the authority and discretion of BCDC to enforce permits issued for the projects described in this act.

 (a) For nontrust leases of Seawall Lot 337, the commission shall consider whether the port will receive consideration equal to the fair market value based on, and in accordance with, all of the following procedures:
(1) At least 30 days prior to approval by the board of supervisors of the development project for Seawall Lot 337, the port shall submit the proposed disposition and development agreement between the master developer and the port governing the master development of Seawall Lot 337 and the following information, to the extent not contained in the agreement, to the commission for its consideration:
(A) The proposed procedures for the disposition of nontrust development parcels and including the proposed plan of finance for the development project that describes the proposed port advances for Seawall Lot 337 infrastructure costs.
(B) The proposed procedures for establishing the fair market value of each nontrust lease of a development parcel, including the appraisal instructions.
(C) A description of the nontrust sources that the port expects to receive for the project and how theses nontrust sources will be applied to the project.
(D) A description of the manner by which the port will select the developer of each development parcel, including the form of ground lease, subject to minor modifications for each development parcel lease permitted by the transaction documents.
(2) Following approval of the development project for Seawall Lot 337 by the board of supervisors, the port shall submit to the commission the project documents described in paragraph (1) as finally approved by the board of supervisors.
(3) Within 75 days after approval of the project by the board of supervisors and receipt of all required documentation from the port, the commission shall either approve or disapprove the procedures for establishing the fair market value of the development parcels, the form of ground lease, and the port’s use of port advances to pay for Seawall Lot 337 infrastructure costs. The commission shall request additional information or documentation from the port, including evidence of financial assurances acceptable to the commission that the trust will be made whole. The commission shall not approve the port’s use of port advances for the duration of the project unless the commission determines that such use of port advances as described in the documentation submitted by the port is in the best interests of the state, will benefit the public trust, and is on terms and conditions consistent with the port’s fiduciary duties as trustee. The commission may only approve the port’s use of port advances if it finds that there are sufficient assurances that the trust will be made whole.

(3) Any revenues from nontrust sources received by the port to repay port advances.
(c) The port shall provide the commission with copies of the final audit report for each phase of the project and the final audit report for the project within 90 days after the port receives each audit report.
(d) The port shall periodically, and upon request of the commission, submit to the commission a report detailing the issuance and repayment of any port advances, and notify the commission where the reports, including staff reports, may be accessed electronically. If, within 20 years after the first port advance, the port has not submitted an audit report to the commission indicating that all of the port advances have been repaid, the port shall report to the commission the total amount of revenues from nontrust leases that the port used to fund port advances, the amount that the port has received to repay port advances, the projected sources to repay any balance still owing on account of port advances, and the expected timing of repayment of the balance still owing. Thereafter, the port shall provide supplemental reports containing updates to this information to the commission every five years.
(e) The port shall ensure repayment, with interest, of each port advance within 25 years after the port advance is made. The port may extend the repayment period beyond 25 years subject to commission approval. The commission shall base its approval, in part, on whether the port is taking actions that ensure the trust is made whole, consistent with its fiduciary duties as a trustee of the public trust.

SEC. 10.
 If any provision of this act, or its application to any person, property, or circumstance, is held invalid by any court, the invalidity or inapplicability of that provision shall not affect any other provision of this act or the application of that provision to any other person, property, or circumstance, and the remaining portions of this act shall continue in full force and effect, unless enforcement of this act as so modified by and in response to that invalidation would be grossly inequitable under all of the circumstances, or would frustrate the fundamental purposes of this act.
SEC. 11.
 (a) The Legislature finds and declares that, because of the unique circumstances applicable only to the lands described in this act in the City and County of San Francisco, a statute of general applicability cannot be enacted within the meaning of subdivision (b) of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution.
(b) The Legislature also finds and declares that the exemption under Section 4 of this act from the laws governing the dissolution of former redevelopment agencies is necessary to address the unique circumstances relating to the development of Parcel P20, including the fact that the parcel was never owned by a former redevelopment agency and the fact that the transfer and use of Parcel P20 for the Mission Bay South redevelopment project will benefit the state by generating revenues from the various nontrust leases of land within the parcel.
