SLC Meeting

Some of us spoke at Friday’s State Lands Commission meeting in Sacramento. Click here to watch the video — click on the February 22 meeting, and then please forward to 52:55 for the Public Comments portion of the meeting.


A Dock

adock1 adock2 adock3This morning the harbor crew removed four slips from the end of A Dock, in the Outer Harbor at Pete’s Harbor, on property owned by the State of California. These slips were built improperly years ago, and encroached upon land owned by the State. For many years, the harbor collected rent on them. The State Lands Commission told us today that they did not ask for them to be removed.


Who We Are

Presently, SPH is comprised of tenants and former tenants of Pete’s Harbor, as well as early supporters who have been helping SPH since September 2012. We’d like to grow, and we’d like you to join our efforts. Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to meet with, and join, us.

Who We Are:

The Save Pete’s Harbor Coalition (SPH) is a group of concerned citizens whose goal is to preserve the state-owned, outer portion of Pete’s Harbor as an environmentally friendly marina open to the boating public. We are dedicated to ensuring that any development at Pete’s Harbor, such as the one currently proposed, responsibly mitigates all potential environmental impacts under CEQA** and is fully compatible with a public (commercial) marina.
*
We recognize the need of current and former Pete’s Harbor tenants to pursue relocation costs on an individual basis, but the SPH Coalition will only engage in negotiations that pertain to the preservation of the harbor.
*
**Such impacts include the disruption of boating communities which require the building of replacement units in Redwood City to mitigate impacts to all recreational boaters, including liveaboards and cruisers.

Pete’s Harbor Map

phmapFor those of you who may be confused about what part of Pete’s Harbor belongs to the State of California, it’s the docks labeled A, NA, B, and NB. The unlabeled dock to the right of the map, halfway down the page, on Redwood Creek, is on City land.
