Bill Oliver, of the Port Authority, also answered questions. Chairman Ross closed the public hearing. Mr. Hulett moved to recommend granting the permit, citing the following findings: A. Ports, piers, and docks are pe'.b"'tr'litt;;~d uses in urban shorelines in accordance with Use activities F.8 and F.17. B. The proposed reconstructed dock complies with General Regulation C.1, Land Use Element D.1.a, and Use Activity F.8.a, in that it is a water shoreline dependent use requiring frontage on navigable water and is located in an area which is already developed. Because it is in an already developed industrial area, and represents the redevelopment and upgrading of an existing facility, it reduces the exposure of a shoreline of statewide significance to development in furtherance of General Regulation C. 4. C. D. Since only minimum alteration of the shoreline and the normal degredation of the Harbor waters will occur only during construction, the proposal is in compliance with General Regulation C.4 and Us. Activity F.8.d. E. The public visual access to the shoreline will not be affected over that now presently being experienced, but current Port activities and structural arrangement may conflict with public physical access to the shoreline and Harbor. Therefore, the proposal is in substantial compliance with General Regulation C.2 and Land Use Element D.2. F.
