Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on Draft Environmental Impact Report for
the Marina Park Project. The public park will provide for passive and active areas. The passive areas
include an open lawn area and a water feature. The active areas will include a children's play area and
basketball courts. The public short-term visiting vessel marina is proposed to accommodate visiting
vessels for up to 30 days. The Balboa Center Complex (BCC) will include rooms for educational
classes as well as community events. The BCC will have a restaurant situated on the second story and
will include areas for marina rentals as well as room for sailing classes. There are two tennis courts
proposed on the eastern portion of the site adjacent to 15th Street, In addition, an existing bathroom on
the public beach adjacent to 19th Street is proposed to be renovated or reconstructed but the size of the
bathroom facility will remain the same. The nearest State route tothe project site is Pacific Coast
Highway and SR-55.
The California Department of Transportation (Department), District 12 is a commenting agency on this
project and has no comment at this time. However, in the event of any activity within the Department's
right-of-way, an -encroachment permit will b u' ed.
Please continue to keep us informed of this project and any future developments, which could
potentially, impact State transportation facilities. If you have any questions or need to contact us,
please do not hesitate to call Damon Davis at (949) 440-3487.
