Council approves River Oaks dry-stack marina and restaurant site plan
Summary
Council granted major site-plan approval for the Edgewater River Oaks project including a 71,550 sq. ft. dry-stack boat storage (338 dry slips), a 10-wet-slip marina and a 14,400 sq. ft. restaurant after staff and third-party review found compliance with the MUPUD and development code.
The council approved the major site plan for Edgewater River Oaks after staff and the applicant described a multi-year review process. Developer counsel Mark Watts summarized a 20-month review and said the application required no variances or rezoning and meets the MUPUD agreement and land-development code. The plan calls for a 71,550-square-foot dry-stack facility with 338 dry slips, 10 wet slips and a 14,400-square-foot restaurant with roughly 400 seats on an 18.8-acre site.
Residents sought assurances about mangrove preservation and the developer said invasive species removal and mangrove replanting are part of the shoreline restoration plan, coordinated with the Riverside Conservancy and marine discovery center. Council members noted the PUDs prior allocations for slips and expressed concern about impacts to city boat-slip capacity; the developer said they are designing with fewer wet slips than originally allocated and are returning some allocation to the city. Staff recommended approval and council voted to authorize the major site plan.
