Title
Proposed Amendment to Title 17, the Harbor Code, Regarding Offshore Mooring Extensions
Recommendation
The Harbor Commission established their 2018 Goals and Objectives last year. Goal 3.2 is to “Establish policies for modifications to mooring sizes”. As part of this objective, an analysis of all mooring fields under City management was completed. As a result of that analysis, the Harbor Commission subcommittee is recommending changes to Title 17 to establish maximum lengths of vessels in each row of each mooring field.
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 proposed changes to the Newport Beach Municipal Code and recommend to the City Council for approval.
