Balboa Marina West

Balboa Marina West

Negative Declaration 2013 002 analyzes a proposal by the Project Applicants to reconfigure the arrangement of uses on the Project site to establish a new public boat dock in an area of Newport Harbor, which currently lacks a public dock, and to improve the private Balboa Marina including its water-side and land-side areas. The new public boat dock would include a gangway and approximately 12 public boat slips including eight (8) new boat slips and four (4) boat slips that would be relocated to the public dock from the existing private Balboa Marina. In the private Balboa Marina, 24 private boat slips accommodating a range of vessel sizes and a new gangway are proposed to be added. In the land-side area of the marina, the Project proposes to demolish the existing Balboa Marina parking lot and a 1,200 SF building located at 201 East Coast Highway. In their place, and subject to additional review and approvals by the Planning Commission, a reconfigured parking lot and a maximum 19,400 SF marine commercial building with tuck-under parking could be constructed. The potential uses of the building analyzed in Negative Declaration 2013-002 include a restaurant with outdoor patio, marina restrooms, and an office to accommodate the yacht brokerage business displaced from the existing building that would be demolished.
