Title
Residential Dock Reconfiguration at 2227 Bayside Drive
Recommendation
Swift Slip Dock and Pier Builders, Inc. (“Applicant”) has applied for a harbor development permit to reconfigure the shared residential dock at 2227 Bayside Drive within Carnation Cove. The project includes reconfiguring a portion of the shared float and relocating three piles (“Project”). Because the applicant is proposing to extend the float beyond the existing permitted length, staff is unable to approve the project. Therefore, Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) directs the Harbor Commission to hold a public hearing for the proposed project.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Conduct a public hearing; and
2. Find the Project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3; and
3. Adopt Resolution HC2026-002 approving in concept the Project.
