A Modification to a previously approved and modified Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit. The original permits included creating the Humboldt Coastal Nature Center as well as beach and dune restoration and trail work on approximately 123 acres. The project included a Restoration Agreement on the Stamps’ parcel (APN . 506-111-021). The Modification would allow dune restoration and trail work on an additional, approximately 3.6 acres known as the “Barr” property (APN 400-011-075 and 400-011-077) acquired by the Friends of the Dunes. The three (3) major components of the proposal include 1) managed public access consisting of development of a trailhead with an informational kiosk and demarcating two (2) trails, 2) dune restoration activities within the former “Barr” parcel consisting of removal of invasive non-native plant species and restoration of native dune habitats and their associated rare plants, and 3) private property delineation between the former “Barr” parcel and adjacent private property to the east consisting of installation of a fence designed to allow for dune and wildlife movement.
Recommendation
Move to adopt the Addendum to the previously adopted Negative Declaration, and to make all of the required findings for approval of the Modifications to the Coastal Development Permit and the Conditional Use Permits based on evidence in the staff report and any public testimony, and adopt the Resolution approving the proposed Friends of the Dunes project subject to the recommended conditions of approval.
