§ 5833 Harbor District Boundary Adjustment

This law lets the board of supervisors enlarge the area of a planned district by adding nearby land that will also get benefits from harbor improvements.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can change the outer lines of a proposed district.
  • •Only land that touches the original area (contiguous) can be added.
  • •The added land must be able to benefit from the harbor work.

Example

A town wants to build a new dock and creates a district for the project. The board can also include the next block over if that block will get better water access from the new dock.

Because the extra block is right next to the original district and will enjoy the harbor upgrades, the board can add it to the district under this law.
