Recommendation
The City Council requested that the Harbor Commission Review Title 17- Harbor Code, of the Newport Beach Municipal Code in February of 2018. The Harbor Commission appointed an ad hoc committee comprising Commissioners Kenny, Blank and Yahn. The proposed changes are being recommended to the full Harbor Commission.
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 recommended changes to Title 17 (Attachment A) and forward the recommendations to the City Council for consideration.
