Title
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District (HBHRCD) Coastal Development Permit Modification
Application Number 15901
Case Number CDP 17-028M
Parcel Number 108-171-023
533 Machi Street, Shelter Cove area
Project Description: A Modification to a Coastal Development Permit (CDP-17-028) which approved development of a three-phased project including 1) relocate and replace the existing fish waste disposal system with a new, approximately 2,500 square foot structure which would house the new fish cleaning facility consisting of a cold storage freezer, ice machine, and an area for a fish buyer, 2) covered tractor work bays with an office/maintenance shop/storage and, 3) a market/retail space. The District subsequently determined that the proposed operation of freezers to hold fish carcasses may be cost prohibitive in the long term because the operation would require continual electricity to power the freezers. As an alternative to the freezers, the Modification to the CDP proposes to install a fish waste composter to process (compost) the fish carcasses at the Shelter Cove Marina site. No other changes are proposed.
Recommendation
Make all the required findings, based on evidence in the staff report and public testimony, and approve the proposed HBHRCD project modification subject to the recommended conditions.
