Proposed Language to Amend Title 17 to Allow for Offshore Mooring Extensions
Recommendation
The Harbor Commission established their 2018 Goals and Objectives, Goal 3.2 is to “Establish policies for modifications to mooring sizes”. As part of this objective, the Harbor Commission heard this item on October 10, 2018. The Harbor Commission subcommittee has drafted proposed language for the Harbor Commission to consider in order to allow for offshore mooring extensions.
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) Approve the language as proposed or provide modifications. Direct staff to work with the City Attorney’s office to update the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
