The meeting will feature presentations and recommendations from committee members on B Street Pier, which is located at the Port's B Street Cruise Ship Terminal.

Members will hear a presentation on the state of San Diego’s cruise ship industry, a plan to redevelop the pier and a plan to revitalize the commercial fishing industry. Additionally, a presentation on the Navy Broadway Complex, a proposed redevelopment of the Navy’s property at the corner of Broadway and Harbor Drive, in the City of San Diego’s jurisdiction, will be heard.

The Citizens Advisory Committee was formed to provide public input from a diverse group on the North Embarcadero Port Master Plan Amendment. The Master Plan is a planning tool to guide future Port development and to ensure that projects and developments within the Port are consistent with the California Coastal Act. The committee makes recommendations to Port staff, who in turn will present these as alternatives to the Board of Port Commissioners later in the year.

Members of the Citizens Advisory Committee include representatives from environmental, business, design and public interest organizations, and the public.
