§ 6021 Harbor District Boundary Adjustments

This law lets the board of supervisors change the outer lines of a harbor improvement district during a hearing – they can cut out land that won’t get any benefit, or add nearby land that will benefit.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can shrink the district by leaving out land that won’t benefit from harbor work.
  • •The board can grow the district by adding nearby land that will benefit from harbor work.
  • •These changes happen during a hearing and must follow what’s in the original petition.

Example

A city wants to create a harbor improvement district to build a new dock. Some nearby farms won’t get any advantage from the dock, while a neighboring industrial park will.

At the hearing, the board can remove the farms from the district because they won’t benefit, and they can add the industrial park because it will profit from the new dock.
