A significant resolution was passed at the San Francisco County government meeting on July 23, 2025, authorizing the Port of San Francisco to terminate its lease with Scoma's Restaurant for a facility known as the Smokehouse, located along Al Scoma Way. This decision comes after years of vacancy and deterioration, with the structure being red-tagged since 2019 due to safety concerns.

The mutual termination agreement will save Scoma's approximately $480,000 over the remaining 11 years of the lease. The termination is effective immediately, allowing for the demolition of the facility later this year, which is expected to enhance the visual appeal of Fisherman’s Wharf and support the area's economic recovery. The Port plans to replace the demolished structure with a simple viewing deck, improving pedestrian access and aesthetics.

Supervisors expressed mixed feelings about the loss of the historic restaurant space but acknowledged the necessity of the decision for public safety and community benefit. Scoma's Restaurant will continue to operate, as this agreement pertains only to the Smokehouse facility, which was intended for expansion but never materialized.

In addition to this resolution, the meeting also addressed several lease agreements, including a retroactive lease with Autodesk at Pier 9, which is expected to generate significant revenue for the Port, and a new lease with Tech of California at Pier 80, further solidifying the Port's role in supporting local businesses and infrastructure improvements.

The meeting concluded with a resolution to accept a $12.4 million grant from the California State Transportation Agency for improvements at Pier 80, aimed at enhancing drainage and stabilizing the area, ensuring the Port's operational efficiency and safety.
