List of Amendments to LCPA 03-06 to be considered by California Coastal Commission

• Maintain existing dry boat storage capacity. Do not build a 9,000 square foot retail store where boats are stored on trailers. The store, if it must be built, should be moved to the optional 10,000 square foot restaurant pad in the Commercial Core. We believe this to be a Negative Declaration*
  
• Maintain existing Land Use allocation for Shipyard Operations, including Jet Ski sales and service, kayaks rental and storage and dry boat storage. Scale back Commercial Expansion to eliminate encroachment and or elimination of recreational boating resources. Negative Declaration*
  
• Maintain the existing capacity of dry boat storage available today in planning area 2 and the North end of planning area 1, estimated to be 620 spaces. Scale back Commercial Expansion to eliminate encroachment and or elimination of recreational boating resources. Negative Declaration*
  
• Restore and maintain dedicated boater parking at the original design level. Re-define “multi-use” parking to protect slip renters as opposed to restaurants and stores. Scale back Commercial Expansion to eliminate encroachment and or elimination of recreational boating resources. Negative Declaration*
  
• Restore and maintain Launch Ramp Trailer/Tow Vehicle Parking functionality. Restore original geometry to optimize compliance with Department of Boating and Waterways Design Guidelines. Increase size of parking spaces to accommodate typical use (Proposed design is minimum allowed). Scale back commercial core expansion, do not move “The Street of the Golden Lantern” and do not place parking garage in trailer/tow vehicle parking area. Negative Declaration*
  
• Retain “Park Like Setting” by scaling back commercial core expansion and reducing maximum building height increase. Current zoning maximum is 35’ with a proposed increase to 65’ the park like setting will be eliminated. Reduce increase to 45’. Negative Declaration*

*A change that is considered to be a Negative Declaration would allow the process to move forward without having to re-execute the California Environmental Quality Act or re-circulate anything for approval at the County of Orange or City of Dana Point.
