A Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit to allow for interim uses on property zoned Coastal Dependent Industrial. The project would permit aquaculture, coastal-dependent, coastal-related, heavy industrial, research/light industrial, and other uses allowed under the newly adopted interim use provisions of the Humboldt Bay Area Plan. The proposed interim uses would occupy existing buildings/structures and utilize existing infrastructure at HBHRCD’s Redwood Marine Terminal II (RMT II) facility (formerly the L-P Pulp Mill Site). The project application includes Plan of Operation Reports for 17 business tenants, two (2) coastal-dependent (aquaculture), one (1) coastal-related (sea salt manufacturing), and 14 interim non-coastal dependent uses (research/light industrial and warehousing, storage and distribution). A maximum term of seven (7) years for non-coastal dependent industrial interim uses is requested. The Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act and has adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project.
Recommendation
Find the proposed project consistent with Section 15096 (Process for a Responsible Agency) of the CEQA Guidelines, that all significant environmental impacts have been addressed in the MND for the project adopted by HBHRCD, and that no new changes or alterations have been made that require additional environmental review, and make all of the required findings for approval of the Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit based on evidence in the staff report and any public testimony, and adopt the Resolution approving the proposed HBHRCD Project subject to the recommended conditions.
