END OF PIER

Recommendation:

That the City Council provide direction to staff to initiate a process to decide on the use of the end of the pier.

Background:

Staff was directed to return with a discussion item for the end of the pier. As you know, the restroom building/snack bar was removed as part of the renovation of the pier. There was not a decision on how this area was to be used. A number of ideas have been discussed over the years, including a full service restaurant, museum, meeting room, new snack bar, to let it remain as it is, etc.. I have received a couple of drawings for buildings that have been prepared by residents and, from time to time, we have interest from people wishing to operate various kinds of businesses on the pier. It is clear that there is a great deal of interest in how the end of the pier might be used.

I would seem reasonable for the City Council to hold a workshop or public hearing and get as much input as possible on uses for the end of the pier. A project to develop the end of the pier could be started after we get Phase III underway and depending on other priorities of the City Council.
