Title
INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION AND UPDATE ON A PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT FOR A CONFLICT PREVENTION AND RESOLUTION PROTOCOL BETWEEN THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT AND THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This agenda item is an informational presentation that will provide an update and overview on the Partnership Agreement for a Conflict Prevention and Resolution Protocol (Agreement) between the San Diego Unified Port District (District) and the California Coastal Commission (Commission). The Agreement was created to increase and improve coordination and communication between the two agencies (Agencies). The Agreement is the result of two discussions between District and Commission leadership at two separate Board of Commissioner (BPC) workshops earlier this year and is modeled after a section in a similar agreement between the Commission and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
The Agreement reflects a good faith effort by the Agencies to move forward, improve understanding, and address important issues of mutual benefit and value. The focus of the Agreement supports guiding Port Master Plan amendments and Coastal Development Permits (CDP) through early coordination, as well as the timely elevation of critical planning or CDP issues on the District's highest priority plans and projects. It must be noted that nothing in the Agreement changes or supersedes official policy, guidance, or regulations of either agency. At the same time, successful implementation of this framework may result in updated policies and guidance to better reflect desired outcomes for improved partnering.
