General Counsel’s Comments:
The Office of the General Counsel has reviewed the agenda sheet and attachment, as presented to it, and approves them as to form and legality.
Environmental Review:
The proposed Board action, including without limitation, a resolution approving plans and specifications and awarding a contract for the storage modifications at Harbor Police Headquarters Annex project, is Categorically Exempt pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and/or 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and Sections 3.a. (3) (Existing Facilities) and/or 3.c. (2) (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the District’s Guidelines for Compliance with CEQA because the project in question would consist of the modification of existing accessory storage facilities that would involve no expansion of use beyond that previously existing. The District has determined none of the six exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption apply to this project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2).
The proposed Board action complies with sections 21, 35, and 87 of the Port Act, which allow the Board to pass resolutions and to do all acts necessary and convenient for the exercise of its powers, and for the use of tidelands for the construction, reconstruction, repair, maintenance, and operation of public buildings, public assembly and meeting places, convention centers, parks, playgrounds, bathhouses and bathing facilities, recreation and fishing piers, public recreation facilities, including, but not limited to, public golf courses, and for all works, buildings, facilities, utilities, structures, and appliances incidental, necessary, or convenient for the promotion and accommodation of any of those uses. The Port Act was enacted by the California Legislature and is consistent with the Public Trust Doctrine. Consequently, the proposed Board action is consistent with the Public Trust Doctrine.
The proposed Board action is considered “excluded development” pursuant to Section 8.a (Existing Facilities) and/or 8.c (3) of the District’s Coastal Development Permit Regulations because the project in question would consist of the modification of existing accessory storage facilities that would involve no expansion of use beyond that previously existing and would not change the existing use of the property. No further action under the Coastal Act is required.
