WHEREAS, the City of Fort Bragg was awarded funding in the amount of $100,000 for Mill Site Planning activity and General Administration under the 2019/2020 Notice of Funding Availability for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which is administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD); and WHEREAS, the purpose of this planning activity was to allow for reuse and development of the former Mill Site, located in the Coastal Zone, through the completion of a Local Coastal Program (LCP) Amendment to rezone the site; and WHEREAS, drought conditions in 2021 made the completion of an LCP amendment challenging, as new sources of water and/or water storage would need to be identified in order to support development at the site; and WHEREAS, the grant scope of work was revised to focus on how Blue Economy opportunities could spur development at the former Mill Site, as aquaculture is an allowable use under the current zoning; and WHEREAS, the City contracted with ASA Analysis & Communication, Inc.
