Document Description
The proposed project is a new Tideland Use and Occupancy Permit (TUOP) to the San Diego Maritime Museum of San Diego (Tenant) for the temporary food truck use within parking spaces at 1492 North Harbor Drive that are currently used by Tenant under a separate TUOP (Project No. 2020-040A) for use of seven (7) reserved parking spaces in the Port of San Diego public parking lot on North Harbor Drive. Under this TUOP, the area proposed for use will be used only and exclusively for the purpose of a temporary food truck use [except for the parking use that is permitted for the same seven (7) parking spaces under a separate TUOP], for up to a six (6) month term (an original three month term, and one option to extend for another three months), and for no other purpose whatsoever without the prior written consent of the Executive Director of the District.
The TUOP would allow the Tenant to operate the temporary food truck on Saturdays and Sundays between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. for the term of the TUOP. The TUOP requires the Tenant to make available, and provide clear directional signage for, a designated dining area on the Berkeley for use by food truck customers without paid admission to the Maritime Museum. The TUOP also requires all food truck signage and equipment, and food truck customer queueing, to take place within the TUOP premises and not in the public parking or public promenade. The TUOP requires the Tenant to maintain the premises in clean condition, providing appropriate trash receptacles (within the TUOP area), cleaning up any spilled foods.
The Tenant will be responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations associated with the activities on or in connection with the above-described premises, and in all uses thereof, including those regulating stormwater and hazardous materials. The TUOP may be terminated by Executive Director of District or their duly authorized representative or Tenant as a matter of right and without cause at any time upon the giving of 24 hours’ notice in writing to the other party of such termination.
