Coastal Commission Staff Report & Important Documents from October 2009 Hearing
Boaters for Dana Point Harbor want the revitalization to move forward in a way that preserves recreational boating in Dana Point Harbor. You can read the proposed changes to the Land Use Plan that we submitted to and reviewed with the Commission Staff: Proposed LUP Modifications. Thankfully many of these items were included in the updated Land Use Plan. You can now read the Staff Report, the Updated Land Use Plan and the Additional Exhibits along with the Original Exhibits. While the progress has been good we had lots to do and still have more that must be done. Please make sure you attend the hearing in Oceanside and participate to the best of your ability.

Final Environmental Impact Report, FEIR
The FEIR was approved by the County Board of Supervisors on January 31, 2006. The LCPA 03-06 needs to be consistent with this FEIR or there must be additional California Environmental Quality Act supporting materials explaining any differences. The document can be found in several files at: www.danapointboaters.org/documents.htm.
Public Trust Documents
In 1961, the California Legislature granted a Tidelands Trust for the creation of our Harbor. These two documents,

will help you understand the principles and procedures.
California Coastal Act of 1976
This act created the California Coastal Commission and set forth the legislature's intent for how Coastal Resources are to be managed. The current document can be found at: www.coastal.ca.gov/coastact.pdf. While there are many interesting areas, Chapter 3, Article 3 is of particular interest.
