Title
Residential Dock Reconfiguration at 511 36th Street
Recommendation
The applicant at 511 36th Street is proposing to reconfigure the residential dock by reorienting the position of the float as well as shifting the entire structure to the north. The proposed float will not extend bayward any further than the existing float. This residential dock is located in the West Newport area where pierhead lines do not exist. Because the applicant is proposing a new configuration of the dock, staff is unable to consider approving the project. Therefore, Council Policy H-1 directs the Harbor Commission to hold a public hearing for the proposed project. The applicant requests the Harbor Commission to approve the proposed dock configuration (Project).
Recommendation:
1) Conduct a public hearing; and
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 511 36th Street by making specific findings to allow the dock to be reconfigured pursuant to the provisions in Council Policy H-1.
