IV. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS: The Commission hereby finds and declares: A. Project Description and Location The existing and proposed marina is located adjacent to and south of the bridge connecting Lido Isle in Newport Bay to the peninsula, located at Via Antibes at Via Lido, City of Newport Beach, Orange County (Exhibits 1 and 2). The existing facility is privately operated and used by the homeowners on Lido Isle and is not open to the general public. This facility is between the first public road and the sea and is in Newport Bay. The existing and proposed facility is located on tidelands which have been held in title by the City of Newport Beach since September 1928. The subject property has been leased from the City of Newport Beach to the Lido Isle Community Association since 1954. The site was recently re -leased by the City of Newport Beach to the Lido Isle Community Association for another 25 years, the lease is to expire on April 14, 2025. The City of Newport Beach has joined as co -applicant (Exhibit 5). The applicant is proposing to demolish an existing 16 slip residential boating marina which covers 3,266 square feet of coastal waters (Exhibit 2, page 2). Demolition will include the complete removal of all dock floats, gangways, and 10 existing guide piles. In addition, the applicant is proposing to construct a new 16 slip marina with 134 linear feet of side tie mooring area which covers 4,545 square feet of coastal waters in approximately the same configuration as the existing marina (Exhibit 2, page 1). The new marina will have eleven 26- foot slips and five 36 foot slips (the same as the existing marina). The new marina will require the placement of 16 guide piles in coastal waters. The additional coverage of coastal waters results from widening the five existing 36-foot slips from 14 feet wide to 15 feet wide. In addition, the fingers forming the slips are being widened from the existing 3 foot wide fingers to 3 foot 3 inch wide fingers. Finally, the headwalk is being widened from 4 feet to 6 feet. No dredging is proposed. 5-00-157 (Lido Isle Community Association) Page 8 of 11 the event of termination of the lease of the subject site, section C of Special Condition 3 requires the City of Newport Beach to agree to carry out the terms of section 3.A: so long as the development approved by Coastal Development Permit 5-00-1 57 is in operation. Section C also requires the City of Newport Beach to include a provision in any subsequent lease of such property requiring the lessee to record a lease restriction, subject to the review and approval of the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission, incorporating all of the terms of clause (A) of this condition; and to comply with the requirements of clause (A) of this condition. Thus, as conditioned, the Commission finds that the proposed project would eliminate significant adverse impacts to water quality. Therefore, the Commission finds that, as conditioned, the proposed project is consistent with Sections 30230 and 30231 of the Coastal Act. 3. Fill of Coastal Waters and Loss of Marine Habitat The proposed project will involve the placement of 16 concrete guide piles in open coastal waters. These dock float guide piles constitute fill of open coastal waters. Under Section 30233 of the Coastal Act, fill of open coastal waters is only allowed when several criteria are met, including (a) the project must fall within one of the use categories specified; (b) the proposed project must be the least environmentally damaging alternative; and (c) feasible mitigation measures to minimize adverse environmental effects must be provided. Section 30233 of the Coastal Act states, in part: (a) The diking, filling, or dredging of open coastal waters, wetlands, estuaries, and lakes shall be permitted in accordance with other applicable provisions of this division, where there is no feasible less environmentally damaging alternative, and where feasible mitigation measures have been provided to minimize adverse environmental effects, and shall be limited to the following:... (4) In open coastal waters, other than wetlands, including streams, estuaries, and lakes, new or expanded boating facilities and the placement of structural pilings for public recreational piers that provide public access and recreational opportunities. The proposed project meets the first criteria because it is the placement of piles for a new expanded boating facility. Fill of open coastal waters for the construction of a new expanded boating facility is an allowable use under Section 30233(a)(4) of the Coastal Act. Under Section 30233, the proposed project must be the least environmentally damaging alternative. Alternatives to the proposed project include no project, replacement of the dock in precisely the same configuration, or a change to the existing configuration. Under the no project alternative, the applicant could only pursue simple maintenance activity. However, simple maintenance could not feasibly repair the docks, nor bring them up to present engineering and safety standards. Simple maintenance would only prolong the condition of the existing dock. While the rate of deterioration would be reduced, further deterioration of the docks would not be fully abated. In addition, marine habitat would not significantly benefit from the no project alternative because, despite all maintenance efforts, 5-L,J-1 57 (Lido Isle Community Association) Page 9 of 11 the docks would continue to deteriorate resulting in the discharge of the deteriorated structure into coastal waters and the marine environment: Furthermore, safe use of the facility for marine recreational purposes would be precluded without replacement of the dock system. Therefore, the dock system must be replaced. The second alternative, replacement of the project in the same configuration would not reduce the number of pilings required. The proposed project is approximately the same configuration as the existing marina. However, modern engineering standards require a larger number of pilings. Therefore, even if the marina were demolished and reconstructed in the exactly the same configuration, the number of proposed pilings required would not change. The proposed project will result in replacement of the existing dock with a new dock system that is enlarged (due to new engineering and safety standards) but which is basically in the same configuration as the existing dock. Under the proposed alternative, the dock and guide piling layout is changing from the existing layout. However, the number of proposed pilings is the minimum necessary to adhere to present engineering standards. Furthermore, it should be noted that the installation of the new pilings will result in temporary disturbance to the existing vertical substrate. The guide pilings provide a vertical substrate for mollusks and other marine organisms. However, the proposed project will replace and increase the quantity of vertical substrate upon which mollusks and other marine organisms may settle. Therefore, no Tong -term impact will occur to this habitat. Also, the new dock would not significantly change the shadow or shading pattern cast by the docks. In addition, since there is no eelgrass in the project area, there is no sensitive subsurface vegetation which could be adversely affected by changes to the shading pattern of the docks. Therefore, the proposed project is the least environmentally damaging, feasible alternative. The proposed project will result in the fill of open coastal waters for a boating facility, which is an allowable use under Section 30233 of the Coastal Act. In addition, the proposed project is the least environmentally damaging alternative, and does provide feasible mitigation measures. Therefore, the Commission finds the proposed project is consistent with Section 30233 of the Coastal Act. C. Public Access and Recreation Section 30210 of the Coastal Act states: • In carrying out the requirement of Section 4 of Article X of the California Constitution, maximum access, which shall be conspicuously posted, and recreational opportunities shall be provided for all the people consistent with public safety needs and the need to protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resource areas from overuse. Section 30212 of the Coastal Act states, in relevant part: (a) Public access from the nearest public roadway to the shoreline and along the coast shall be provided in new development projects except where:[ ..J (2) adequate access exists nearby, ... 5-_J-157 (Lido Isle Community Association) Page 10 of 11 The proposed project is located seaward of the first public road within coastal waters. The subject site contains an existing residential marina that has been leased from the City of Newport Beach to the Lido Isle Community Association since 1954. The City recently renewed the lease, extending the lease to April 14, 2025. The existing and .proposed marina is a private facility which is and will continue to be leased to the homeowners on Lido Isle. Public access exists nearby along the Lido bridge which connects Lido Isle to Balboa Peninsula and the Lido Village area of Newport Beach. In addition, vertical access is available on Lido Isle at the end of Via Antibes approximately 500 feet north of the project site. Therefore, public access to the waterfront is available and the proposed project would not impede such access. Therefore, the Commission finds the proposed project is consistent with the public access policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. D. Views Section 30251 of the Coastal Act states, in relevant part: The scenic and visual qualities of coastal areas shall be considered and protected as a resource of public importance. Permitted development shall be sited and designed to protect views to and along the ocean and scenic coastal areas, to minimize the alteration of natural land forms, to be visually compatible with the character of surrounding areas, and, where feasible, to restore and enhance visual quality in visually degraded areas... Public views of Newport Bay exist along the bridge leading out to Lido Isle as well as from various street ends in the vicinity such as the end of 32"d Street which is across the project site on the other side of the West Lido Channel. The proposed project will be visible from these vantage points available to the public. The proposed project will be expanding the amount of covered water from 3,266 square feet to 4,545 square feet, an additional approximately 1,300 square feet. A member of the public has submitted a letter which states that the proposed project will have adverse impacts upon public views (see Exhibits 6 and 7 for the letter and the applicants response to the letter). Specifically, the letter states that the expanded area of covered water will be visible to the public and will have adverse impacts upon views of open coastal waters. However, the subject public views are those of a developed harbor. Boat docks, gangways, boats, and other marine recreational facilities surround the project site. The additional 1,300 square feet of coastal waters to be covered by the proposed project is not occurring in a single area (i.e. it is not forming a continuous cover of a large area of coastal waters not previously covered). Rather, the additional areas covered are a result of modifications to widths of the dock floats which is occurring over the entire length of the facilities being constructed. The effect of the change upon public views is minimal because such changes are occurring over a large area. In addition, the changes are occurring in a developed harbor area where a person viewing the harbor would expect to see structures related to boating purposes. The proposed structures would be consistent with other boating related structures in the vicinity. Accordingly, the proposed project is consistent with the character of the surrounding area. Therefore, the Commission finds that the proposed project is consistent with character of surrounding area and would not have any adverse impacts upon public views to and along the 5- -1 57 (Lido Isle Community Association) Page 11 of 11 shoreline. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with Section 30251 of the Coastal Act. E. Land Use Plan Section 30604 of the Coastal Act provides for the issuance of coastal development permits directly by the Commission in regions where the local government having jurisdiction does not have a certified local coastal program. The permit may only be issued if the Commission finds that the proposed development will not prejudice the ability of the local government to prepare a local coastal program which conforms with the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act. The Newport Beach Land Use Plan was effectively certified on May 19, 1982. The proposed development is consistent with the policies of the certified Land Use Plan. Therefore, the Commission finds that approval of the proposed development will not prejudice the City's ability to prepare a Local Coastal Program (Implementation Plan) for Newport Beach that is consistent with the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act as required by Section 30604(a). F. California Environmental Quality Act Section 13096(a) of the Commission's administrative regulations requires Commission approval of coastal development permit applications to be supported by a finding showing the application, as conditioned by any conditions of approval, to be consistent with any applicable requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Section 21080.5(d)(2)(A) of CEQA prohibits a proposed development from being approved if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen any significant adverse effect which the activity may have on the environment. The project is located in an existing harbor in an urbanized area. Development already exists on the subject site. The project site does not contain any known sensitive marine resources; therefore, the impacts arising from the proposed project will be minimal. In addition, the proposed development has been conditioned, as follows: to restrict the placement of construction materials and use of on -site resources as construction material in order to prevent impacts to soft bottom habitat; to require the identification of the proposed debris disposal site to prevent the disposal of materials in a location which would have adverse impacts on the marine environment such as the displacement of soft bottom habitat and turbidity in the water column from siltation and debris; and to implement best management practices to avoid adverse impacts upon water quality. As conditioned, no feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures are known, beyond those required, which would substantially lessen any identified significant effect which the activity may have on the environment. Therefore, the Commission finds that the proposed project, as conditioned, is the least environmentally damaging feasible alternative and is consistent with CEQA . 5-00-157 (Lido Isle Community Association) stf rpt Exhibits 1 through 7 of the Staff Recommendation and Findings (Exhibit A) for CDP No. 5-00- 157 are on file and available for review at the Commission's South Coast office, 200 Oceangate, Tenth Floor, Long Beach, California, 90802-4325.
