Title
Residential Dock Reconfiguration at 605 Via Lido Soud
Recommendation
The applicant at 605 Via Lido Soud is proposing to reconfigure the residential dock system by replacing the pier, pier platform, gangway and U-shaped float with a similar dock system including a single-finger float. The proposed float extends beyond the pierhead line, but less than the existing, permitted float. Because the applicant is proposing to position the float beyond the pierhead line, 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.
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 605 Via Lido Soud by making specific findings to allow the dock to be reconfigured pursuant to the provisions in Council Policy H-1.
