Regulating and Managing Parks

• Codes
• Adopted by the Board of Supervisors
• Establishes penalties (citation authority)
• Rules
• Adopted by the TIDA Board or TIDA Director
• Can be more rapidly enacted or modified
• Preferred when:
• citation authority is not required
• matter does not rise to a citywide policy concern

Code Models

• San Francisco Parks Code
• Specific to Recreation and Parks properties, Commission,

and General Manager

• Adopted in 1981 and modified several times thereafter
• Authorities of the Code explicitly delegated to others for certain open spaces

not owned and managed by Recreation and Parks:

• Article 8B: Director of Public Works for United Nations Plaza
• Article 8C: Director of Real Property for Hallidae Plaza
• Article 11: Redevelopment Commission for Yerba Buena Gardens
• Article 11A: Transbay Joint Powers Authority Board and Executive

Director for Transbay Rooftop Park

• Port Code
• Specific to Parks owned and operated by the Port of San Francisco
• Includes promenades, plazas, roadways, squares, public access areas

and other properties

• Adopted in 2000 with no subsequent amendments
• Modelled after the Parks Code, but more limited in scope

Evaluation

• Thorough review of both codes
• Assess differences between the codes
• Assess which provisions best align with vision for

Treasure Island Parks

• Assess any unique obligations of the Authority that might

conflict with either code (Trust obligations, Bay Trail, etc.)

• Investigate rational for creation of Port Code
• A Treasure Island Code could be tailored to concerns

specific to the island, but might require additional time to draft & entail additional public review

Rules and Regulations

• Existing TIDA Rules and Regulations
• Clipper Cove
• Permitting events, filming, drones, etc.
• Potential topics
• Rules that do not apply uniformly to all open spaces; e.g.,

hours of operation, on-path restrictions, pets, etc.

• Rules necessary to interpret or implement code provisions

Next Steps

• Return at September Meeting With Recommendations
• Whether to adopt the Parks Code or pursue a Treasure Island

specific code like the Port Code

• Matters to be addressed in Code and those to be regulated

under rules adopted by the TIDA Board

• Matters that might fall under the authority of another Agency
• r code sections
• Continue to explore initial operations demands, staffing,

and potential conservancy/governance models
