HomeMy WebLinkAbout24 - Revocation of Mooring PermitTO: Members of the Newport Beach City Council FROM: Tony Melum, Division of Harbor Resources SUBJECT: Public Hearing -- Revocation of Mooring Permit RECOMMENDATION: 1 -- Conduct Public Hearing. 2 -- Revoke the Mooring Permits on the attached list marked Exhibit A BACKGROUND: There are 1200 moorings within Newport Harbor, including 450 onshore moorings (moorings linked to the beach) and 750 offshore moorings (moorings anchored into the Harbor floor). Of the 1200 moorings, 1182 are over City Tidelands and 18 are over County Tidelands. Because the County of Orange was already a presence in the Harbor (in the form of the Orange County Sheriffs Harbor Patrol), in the 1970s, the City negotiated a contract with the County whereby the Harbor Patrol would administer all the moorings. The City currently pays the County $80,000 per year for this service. Mooring administration generally involves enforcement of Chapter 17.22 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. The 750 offshore moorings are located in 11 areas within the harbor. Those to be revoked are in 3 of those areas (see the attached map). The long -term berthing of vessels on offshore moorings is relatively inexpensive. Sometimes owners of a small percentage of the vessels do not properly maintain their vessels — poor maintenance can cause a vessel to become unseaworthy or inoperable and could pose a navigational or environmental hazard. To address this problem, the City Council revised Chapter 17.22 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code to require that moored vessels be seaworthy and operable. If determined not to be seaworthy and operable, the vessel must be repaired or replaced within a time frame established by Municipal Code. Failure to comply with this section of the code is grounds for revocation of the mooring permit. Revocation requires a public hearing before the City Council after notice to the mooring permittee. We typically revoke between 1 to 5 moorings a year. The moorings listed in Exhibit A have been determined by the Orange County Sheriffs Harbor Patrol to have vessels on them which appear to be unseaworthy or inoperable. Newport Beach City Council 24 The Harbor Patrol has given written notice of the potential Municipal Code violation to the mooring permittees. Since that notice and two subsequent letters, the permittees have failed or refused to either allow an inspection of the vessel to determine if it is seaworthy and operable and to make the necessary repairs. As of this date the vessels assigned to these mooring appears to remain in unseaworthy or inoperable condition. Failure to allow or refusal to allow an inspection of the vessel or to make the necessary repairs is grounds for revocation of the permit per NBMC §17.22.090 A (6) & (7). All the listed permittees have been given notice of this Revocation Hearing as required by the Municipal Code. Attachments: Exhibit A — Letter from Harbor Patrol Exhibit B — Locations of Moorings to be Revoked Newport Beach City Council Exhibit A October 23, 2001 Tony Melum City of Newport Beach Harbor Resources Department 829 Harbor Island Drive Newport Beach, Ca. Dear Tony, After researching the status of the Derelict Boat list, I have compiled a list of the following vessels that have been given their final notice to repair their boats or lose their mooring privileges. Two letters were sent out prior to the attached final letter, which was sent out on May 7, 2001. As of this date there has been no response from the mooring owners nor have they made any attempts to comply.
