Councilmember Hurr indicated <br />that if this is the case, their application and license should reOect that fact. I had not had a <br />chance to thoroughly research the issue, but after a brief look at the code dunng the meetmg I <br />did note that a "day use recreation area" conditional use permit might be required. <br />Having now had a chance to research these issues, I would note the following: <br />1. In the Joint Use Dock License ordinance (Section 5.42), transient slips are defined as <br />those "on land or water used for the temporary storage of many different boats for short <br />periods of time". Permanent slips are defined as those "on land or water used for the <br />storing of a given boat on a long term or yearly basis". <br />The license application requests numbers of "transient (day u>e only) slips" and <br />"permanent moorage slips". The "day use only" qualifier is a misnemer. Although this <br />wording has appeared on the license application since the 1970’s, it I? consistent neither <br />with the license code definitions nor with past City policy. A slip i.sed for occasional <br />overnight camping but which is not for season-long use of an individual specific boat, <br />is a transient slip by definition. Therefore, the application was filled out correctly. <br />The City has historically charged a $2 annual "slip fee" for permanent slips, no fee for <br />transient slips.
