  • 13 Local Coastal Program
    Port Hueneme General Plan Background Report Local Coastal Program 13 Local Coastal Program 13.1 Purpose The Local Coastal Program (LCP) is a planning document that includes land use plans, a zoning ordinance, zoning district maps, and other implementing actions in the coastal zone that meet the requirements of and implement the California Coastal Act (Public Resources Code Section 30108.6). The Coastal Act applies to the coastal zone, a strip along the California coast generally “extending seaward to the state’s outer limit of jurisdiction, including all offshore islands, and extending inland generally 1,000 yards from the mean high tide line of the sea” (Public Resources Code Section 30103). Development in the coastal zone requires a Coastal Development Permit (CDP). Once a city has an LCP certified by the Coastal Commission, the ability to grant CDPs is transferred from the Coastal Commission to the City. For an LCP to be certified by the Coastal Commission, it must include a Land Use Plan (LUP), policies, and an Implementation Plan (IP) that ensures the goals of the Coastal Act are being met. Because much of Port Hueneme is within the coastal zone, an LCP is required for the City to have the ability to issue CDPs within the City’s boundaries. See Figure 13.1 for the City’s Coastal Zone boundary. The existing LCP, adopted in 2006, prescribes the policies and procedures governing the use and development of land within the Coastal Zone. General Plan Background Report 1 Figure 13.1 Port Hueneme Coastal Zone Boundary and Land Uses 2 Port Hueneme General Plan Background Report Local Coastal Program 13.2 Relationship to Other Plans and Programs The Port Hueneme LCP connects to and overlaps with several other plans, ordinances, and programs adopted and implemented by the City.

  • Study of U.S. Inland Containerized Cargo Moving Through Canadian and Mexican Seaports
    Study of U.S. Inland Containerized Cargo Moving Through Canadian and Mexican Seaports July 2012 Committee for the Study of U.S. Inland Containerized Cargo Moving Through Canadian and Mexican Seaports Richard A. Lidinsky, Jr. - Chairman Lowry A. Crook - Former Chief of Staff Ronald Murphy - Managing Director Rebecca Fenneman - General Counsel Olubukola Akande-Elemoso - Office of the Chairman Lauren Engel - Office of the General Counsel Michael Gordon - Office of the Managing Director Jason Guthrie - Office of Consumer Affairs and Dispute Resolution Services Gary Kardian - Bureau of Trade Analysis Dr. Roy Pearson - Bureau of Trade Analysis Paul Schofield - Office of the General Counsel Matthew Drenan - Summer Law Clerk Jewel Jennings-Wright - Summer Law Clerk Foreword Thirty years ago, U.S. East Coast port officials watched in wonder as containerized cargo sitting on their piers was taken away by trucks to the Port of Montreal for export. At that time, I concluded in a law review article that this diversion of container cargo was legal under Federal Maritime Commission law and regulation, but would continue to be unresolved until a solution on this cross-border traffic was reached: “Contiguous nations that are engaged in international trade in the age of containerization can compete for cargo on equal footings and ensure that their national interests, laws, public policy and economic health keep pace with technological innovations.” [Emphasis Added] The mark of a successful port is competition. Sufficient berths, state-of-the-art cranes, efficient handling, adequate acreage, easy rail and road connections, and sophisticated logistical programs facilitating transportation to hinterland destinations are all tools in the daily cargo contest.
