Brief

The Council approved a Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (NDAA) involving AltaSea, the Port of Los Angeles, and Blue Robotics Inc. regarding Parcel B59 at the port. The agreement, referred from the Board of Harbor Commissioners, protects the tenant's lease rights in case of foreclosure or other disturbance. Council adopted it on May 15, 2026 by a vote of 11-0-4 after rapid committee approval.

Full summary

The Council approved two related agreements governing Blue Robotics Inc.'s tenancy at the Port of Los Angeles. The first is a Sublease between AltaSea — the nonprofit ocean research and innovation campus operating at the port — and Blue Robotics Inc., a marine technology company. The second is a Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (NDAA) between the City's Harbor Department and Blue Robotics Inc. directly. An NDAA protects a subtenant's right to continue occupying their space even if the master tenant, in this case AltaSea, were to default or lose its lease — ensuring Blue Robotics could remain in place and would recognize the Harbor Department as its direct landlord under those circumstances. The Board of Harbor Commissioners initiated the matter and adopted Resolution No. 26-10703 approving both agreements. Council action was limited to approving the NDAA specifically, as that agreement directly involves the City's Harbor Department as a party. The Board determined the action was exempt from further California Environmental Quality Act review, having been previously assessed, and the BOHC reported no impact to the City's General Fund. The file moved quickly through the legislative process. The Board of Harbor Commissioners submitted documents on May 5, 2026, the matter was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee the following day, and the committee approved it at its May 12 meeting with Park and McOsker voting yes and Rodriguez absent. The City Clerk scheduled it for Council on May 15, and the full Council adopted it the same day by a vote of 11-0-4. The file is now closed, with the agreement recorded as Agreement No. 26-10222.
