  • STAFF REPORT for CALENDAR ITEM NO.: 9 for the MEETING OF: September 14, 2017
    STAFF REPORT FOR CALENDAR ITEM NO.: 9 FOR THE MEETING OF: September 14, 2017 TRANSBAY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Adopt rules and regulations for the TJPA’s park on the roof of the transit center, and authorize staff to proceed with requesting proposed amendments to the San Francisco Municipal Code to make TJPA’s park a “park” subject to certain rules and regulations under the Municipal Code. EXPLANATION: The 5.4-acre park and botanical garden on the roof of the Salesforce Transit Center (named “Salesforce Park” and referred to herein as “TJPA’s park”) will be a unique open space and amenity in an area of the City with few parks. TJPA’s park is expected to be a destination for visitors that will include area residents, workers, transit riders and tourists, with programs and events (activation) designed to ensure that the open space is populated throughout the daytime and evening hours of operation. The TJPA is developing a park security program that will support the following goals: • Create an exceptional visitor experience • Preserve the park’s unique ecosystem • Enable full activation of the park • Provide a safe and secure park for all users Most San Francisco parks are owned by the City and County of San Francisco; are under the control, management, and direction of the San Francisco Recreation and Park Commission and the Recreation and Parks Department staff; and are subject to the rules and regulations in the San Francisco Park Code and other provisions of the Municipal Code. The TJPA’s park, like all other San Francisco parks, requires rules and regulations to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all visitors and preservation of the public resource.

The area at the western edge of San Francisco which was to become Ocean Beach was one of the earliest amusement resorts on the West Coast. This area, which included once famous landmarks including the Cliff House, Sutro Baths and Museum and Playland-at-the-Beach, began as a 19th Century squatter’s settlement known as “Mooneysville-by-the-Sea.” The Cliff House has been through five major incarnations since its beginnings in 1858. That year, Samuel Brannan, a prosperous ex-Mormon elder from Maine, bought lumber salvaged from a ship that foundered on the basalt cliffs below for $1,500.
