Newport Beach continues to discuss policies related to liveaboards in commercial marinas

1. 1. This information seems a bit dated for a September 10 posting.

   As hinted at at the end of the next to last paragraph, the full Newport Beach Harbor Commission reviewed the subcommittee recommendations at its September 9 meeting and made its own recommendation to the City Council.

   That recommendation is, for the first time, to require a permit to live aboard a vessel in a commercial marina for more than six months out of the year, but to set no limit on the number of permits that can be issued.

   The Commission also recommended the Council, for the first time, apply to vessels using the anchorages in the harbor the same rules that formerly applied only to vessels anchored in near-shore ocean: namely, that the vessels can be left unoccupied for at most one interval of three hours or less per day, which, if it happens, must occur entirely between the hours of sunrise and sunset.

   2. The subheading to this article, about a leasehold in Ventura Harbor, seems unrelated to the article.
