Key Takeaways

  • •The city can decide if using certain lands for factories or businesses is bad for the city.
  • •If the city thinks so, it can rent out these lands for parks, homes, schools, or fun activities instead.
  • •The city must follow the rules set by the state constitution when renting out these lands.

Example

§ 37387 Tidelands Lease Alternatives

When the legislative body deems that industrial use of such tidelands and uplands is inimical to the best interest of the city, it may lease them for park, recreational, residential, or educational purposes, under conditions not inconsistent with the trust imposed upon the tidelands by the Constitution. (Added by Stats. 1949, Ch. 79.)
