Title
Navigational Aids Welcoming Boaters into Newport Harbor
Recommendation
There is currently a navigational aid on the west end of the Newport Jetty to aid boaters as they enter into Newport Harbor. The current structure is functional, however may not be considered as welcoming as it could be to boaters. The United States Coast Guard is contemplating a replacement program and there may be an opportunity to enhance the look of the navigational aid.
Recommendation:
1) Find this action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
2) Receive and file and provide direction to staff as appropriate.
