Within the Commission’s Bay and 100-foot shoreline band jurisdictions, at the mouth of Gallinas Creek, in the City of San Rafael, Marin County.

Remove two 178-foot-tall steel lattice electrical towers and associated access boardwalks and install two new 134-foot-tall steel lattice electrical towers and access boardwalks. The towers and boardwalks are located in tidal marsh on either side of Gallinas Creek. To access the site for construction, the applicant would construct a temporary floating bridge across Gallinas Creek, and temporarily install construction matting for site access and staging, and temporary fencing to exclude wildlife from the site during construction. The project is expected to result in temporary adverse impacts to tidal marsh, and the applicant would be required to restore the impacted areas within five years of construction completion. The project is not expected to result in any significant permanent or temporary adverse impacts to public access.

Note that the authorization for the use of this site will be conditioned to be temporary through December 31, 2034, as it is an interim use within a Port Priority Use area. The authorization may be extended at that time through a permit amendment if the permittee can demonstrate that the continued use would not impair the region’s ability to meet cargo demands according to the policies of the San Francisco Bay Area Seaport Plan.

The authorization will also be conditioned to require that the full 14,263-square-foot public access area, including areas outside of the Commission’s jurisdiction, be provided and maintained for the life of the project.
