The state law is making it harder to properly manage public land.
): This article describes a proposed solution to a broader problem in how the Surplus Land Act is applied to leased public land. The Mission Bay exemption is a start but doesn’t go far enough. Changes made to the Surplus Land Act in 2020 expanded it to include leased public property, allowing land to be treated as “surplus” simply because a lease is expiring.
Before 2020, the city routinely leased public land for approved uses that provided amenities while generating revenue for city services. Now lease renewals can trigger an affordable housing process even when housing is prohibited or inappropriate. Mission Bay is the current example, but the same issue applies to Balboa Park and other areas. A broader exemption for leased municipal property is needed to restore how public land was managed when the Surplus Land Act focused only on the sale of public property rather than leases.7-story apartment complex proposed near North Park sign in nearly 100-year-old buildingPadres notebook: Walker Buehler may have pitched way onto team; Ramón Laureano update; Nick Pivetta’s progressDel Mar bluff collapse prompts search for possible victims
