No comments were received during <br />this period. <br />Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Negative Declaration for the construction of a <br />new boat launching facility at the San Leandro Marina. <br />BACKGROUND <br />As part of the possible redevelopment of the former "boatworks" site at the Marina, it is <br />necessary to relocate the existing boat launch ramp located on that site. The proposed new boat <br />launch ramp will be located on Mulford Point Drive, adjacent to the Marina office near Mulford <br />Point. When the new boat launch ramp is completed and operational, the existing launch ramp <br />will be closed. <br />Analysis <br />The Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) awarded a grant to the City of San Leandro <br />for construction of a new launch ramp, boarding floats, vehicle/trailer parking, and other boating <br />related items. Facilities constructed with DBW funds are required to meet or exceed DBW <br />design criteria, be economically feasible, and remain open to all boaters at reasonable prices. In <br />return for this funding, the City is responsible for operating and maintaining the project for a <br />minimum of twenty (20) years at no additional cost to the State. <br />
