TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary for the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Use Permit No. 17525 with Marina Pacifica, LLC, a California limited liability company, to shift the location of permitted berthing for vessel sales and electric boat rentals in a southeasterly direction, from the northwesterly 330 linear feet of dock to 330 linear feet measured 21 feet, 6 inches northwesterly of Pylon 19 to 11 feet, 3 inches southeasterly of Pylon 11. (District 3)
DISCUSSION
On September 18, 1979, the City Council authorized a Permit with Marina Pacifica Company, Permittee’s predecessor-in-interest, to install a 952.9-foot guest dock adjacent to Marina Pacifica Shopping Center for temporary berthing of guest vessels. On August 28, 1984, the City Council approved an amendment to the Permit to allow 330 linear feet of the dock to be used to berth new and used vessels being offered for sale in connection with a business being conducted at or from the Marina Pacifica Shopping Center. On July 14, 1998, the City Council authorized an Amended and Restated Use Permit with Marina Pacifica, LLC (Permittee), to allow electric boat rentals, as well as the previously allowed vessel sales, along the most northwesterly 330 linear feet of dock.
The Permittee has requested to shift the space allocated for boat rentals and sales approximately 200 feet southeast, still within their allowed dock space. Specifically, the proposed First Amendment will allocate the 330 linear feet of dock starting from 21 feet, 6 inches northwesterly of Pylon 19, to 11 feet, 3 inches southeasterly of Pylon 11, for the berthing of new and used vessels being offered for sale in connection with a business being conducted at or from the shopping center and/or for the rental of electric boats. The Parks, Recreation and Marine Department (PRM) is supportive of the proposal as it would simply relocate the current permitted uses, would allow for a more efficient operation of the electric boat rental business, and would leave the remaining dock space open for guest docking.
The First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Use Permit will contain the following amended terms:
• Permitter: City of Long Beach, a municipal corporation.
• Permittee: Marina Pacifica, LLC, a California limited liability company.
• Amended Permit: The Amended Permit will allow, only within the designated 330 linear feet of the dock measured 21 feet, 6 inches northwesterly of Pylon 19, to 11 feet, 3 inches southeasterly of Pylon 11, the berthing of new and used vessels being offered for sale in connection with a business being conducted at or from the shopping center and/or for the rental of electric boats (Attachment A). All other uses will remain unchanged.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Anita Lakhani on October 5, 2021 and by Budget Analysis Officer Greg Sorensen on October 6, 2021.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on November 9, 2021, to ensure the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Use Permit can be executed in a timely manner and prior to the peak use holiday season for electric rental boats coinciding with the activation of Alamitos Bay Tree Lights on November 25, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal or local job impact associated with this recommendation. This recommendation has no staffing impact beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is consistent with existing City Council priorities.
