Termination Agreement to remove Exhibit B to 1983 Corporation Grant Deed be Industries, Inc., and the CoSD, & for the First Amendment ....

The City of San Diego is executing a Termination Agreement to remove Exhibit B from the 1983 Corporation Grant Deed originally filed between Ocean Industries, Inc. and the City, which imposed land use restrictions no longer relevant to current operations. Concurrently, a First Amendment to the Percentage Ground Lease with Surf Sports, LLC is being adopted to replace those outdated restrictions with clear, enforceable operational terms that preserve decades-long community recreational uses. The amendment defines a large sporting event as one using 75 percent or more of the 25 playing fields at the site—typically 18 or more fields—with the clarification that subdivided youth fields still count as a single field for measurement purposes. For non-sporting events, the amendment establishes a firm annual cap of 40 days and introduces a standardized metric to track and enforce compliance with this limit, enhancing the City’s ability to monitor and regulate event frequency. These changes ensure that while obsolete deed restrictions are eliminated, the scale and nature of activities on the property remain consistent with historical usage patterns and community expectations. The project qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically Sections 15301 and 15323, due to its minimal environmental impact and alignment with normal operations of an existing facility. Administrative actions, including the filing of a Notice of Exemption and a certified finding of exemption, were completed on October 31, 2025, with submission handled physically through the San Diego County Clerk’s Office and a $50 filing fee paid via check. No federal contract clauses, federal acquisition regulations, or procurement-specific elements apply, as this constitutes a local land use and lease amendment governed by municipal authority and state environmental law. The property remains under the jurisdiction of the City of San Diego Economic Development Department and City Planning Department, with contact provided for project management and oversight.
