Summary

Staff reported Coastal Commission approval and a waiver for seabass grow pens and said Julie Cole received Coastal Commission approval to operate a nonprofit sailing program from two Portofino slips; fabrication and program start dates are on track for completion by July.

The Harbor Department told commissioners on May 12 that the seabass grow-pen project received Coastal Commission approval and a waiver and that fabrication of the pens is on schedule, with staff targeting completion of the project by July.

Staff also reported that the Coastal Commission has approved an agreement allowing Julie Cole to run a nonprofit sailing enterprise from two Portofino slips. Staff said Cole has the agreement in hand and is ready to begin sailing instruction from those slips.

Both items were presented as project updates during the staff liaison report; no formal commission vote on these specific approvals was recorded at the meeting because the approvals were granted through Coastal Commission action and the city is completing implementation steps.

Ending: Staff will continue to oversee fabrication of the grow pens, expect to install them by July, and coordinate the nonprofit sailing program's start at the Portofino slips.
