Title
Residential Dock Reconfiguration at 1708-1710 South Bay Front
Recommendation
The applicants at 1708 & 1710 South Bay Front are proposing to reconfigure their shared residential dock in a similar U-shape configuration. The proposed float will extend the same 15 feet beyond the pierhead line as it does in the current configuration. Council Policy H-1 generally allows floats to extend to the pierhead line, but the policy also allows the Harbor Commission to grant exceptions as to how far a float may extend beyond the pierhead line if specific findings are made. The applicant therefore, requests the Harbor Commission to approve the proposed dock configuration (Project).
Recommendation:
1) Conduct a public hearing;
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, Chapter 3; and
3) Approve the Project at 1708-1710 by making specific findings to allow the float to extend beyond the pierhead line by 15 feet pursuant to the provisions within Council Policy H-1.
