Document Description
The Ventura West Marina Redevelopment Project (Project) includes the replacement of the existing aged docks and pilings with new docks and pilings. The Project also includes the addition of an ADA accessible gangway, electrical charging infrastructure and individual wastewater pump out systems. Waterside improvements would be located within the existing waterside portion of Parcel 17. The new slip layout will largely retain the current dock footprint. As part of the proposed Project, the Applicant will remove the existing 45-year-old dock system including all floating elements, submerged piles, and related infrastructure. and install new, environmentally sustainable dock systems with a marina slip layout that allows a more diverse range of vessel sizes. The existing marina channels will be enhanced to improve navigational flow and to accommodate larger vessels. Overall, average slip size will increase by approximately one foot. The total number of slips will decrease by eight from 387 to 379 and thereby allow for more public areas within the marina including launching of non-motorized vessels such as kayaks and stand-up paddleboards and a location where a future water taxi could embark passengers. Additional Project features include:
• Add an ADA-accessible gangway to the dock system.
• Add electrical charging infrastructure to support electric powered watercraft.
• Provide individual wastewater pump out systems for medium to large vessels at their slips and a public-facing wastewater pump out for other vessels in and out of the marina.
The current marina configuration has approximately 302 piles. It is estimated that all existing piles would be removed, and new piles would be installed. All new piles will be at or above the District’s minimum pile elevation which was set in 2014 to address sea level rise and tsunami concerns. These enhancements would improve navigational flow and accommodate larger vessels.
