My initial reaction is the same now as it was then- Mission Bay Park is not “surplus land”.
However, if the city council declared the properties as “surplus land” it would trigger a requirement in the Surplus Land Act that would allow housing development on our public parkland.
Unfortunately, the Land Use and Housing Committee heard the item on July 2 and supported the “surplus land” declaration.
And because of the continuance, the Mission Bay Park Committee was able to hear the item on August 5 at their regular meeting and voted not to support the “surplus land” declaration.
However, the Mission Bay Park surplus land issue is far from over and this is just a temporary pause.
