December 2020 – 400 Apartment Developer’s Exclusivity of Fisherman’s Wharf is Over – BUT….

Channel Islands Harbor Partners LLC (CIHP) did not pay the required fees on December 1st required to retain its exclusive Lease Option Agreement related to the Fisherman’s Wharf area. However, CIHP’s exclusivity through ERNs for the X3 area and F/F1 parcels are not due to expire until March 31, 2021

Existing and proposed residential for Fishermans wharf Oxnard

What’s Next for Channel Islands Harbor – Update August 23, 2020

It was a rare unanimous 12-0 vote by the Coastal Commission denying the County’s attempt to override the City of Oxnard’s denial of a Local Coastal Plan Amendment to allow the massive 400 apartment building at Fisherman’s Wharf. BUT – it’s NOT OVER!

Apartment Developer’s Exclusivity of Fisherman’s Wharf was not renewed – but CIHP has ERNs for other important parcels!

Apartments can be built anywhere, harbors can not!

Watch the video of the Charrette results presented at the Harbor Task Force Meeting!

Harbor and Beach Community Alliance

ABOUT HBCA

We are your friends, neighbors and boaters. You’ve seen us educating and advocating for issues that impact our Harbor and Beaches. We speak up at Board of Supervisor Meetings. We circulate Petitions and write Letters to the City and County. Ask any neighborhood activist you will probably discover they are fellow HBCA volunteers. Harbor&Beach Community Alliance was created to preserve public access to coastal land. Oppose Harbor and Beach development that is not in the interests of the community and the environment. Communicate with local community and government agencies to protect public safety and access.

Next Steps…

Keep the Harbor Visitor Serving!

About HBCA

What do we want?

WE WANT

Development that is consistent with the Coastal Act and is visitor-serving and harbor-oriented.

WE WANT

Going forward, what is needed is an updated Public Works Plan with a comprehensive Master Plan for the entire harbor.

WE WANT

Going forward, we would like to see a “change” to an open, transparent RFP (Request for Proposal) process at the harbor with open bidding for development that is not limited to apartment developers’ proposals. In addition, when the existing ERNs expire in a year and a half, an open rebidding process should be implemented.
