Boaters and boat owners using the Oakland Estuary may soon face new rules for anchoring there, including a ban on living aboard a boat.
The Oakland City Council's Rules and Legislation Committee Thursday sent a proposed ordinance to the council for consideration Tuesday.
Allison wrote,"As the Legislature found in the McAteer-Petris Act, the Bay is 'the most valuable single natural resource of an entire region, a resource that gives special character to the bay area.'" The ordinance to be considered Tuesday by the city council is called the Nuisance Vessel Ordinance and would give police the authority to remove or have occupied boats removed from the estuary.
Scharff said the commission is working with the cities of Alameda and Oakland to remedy the current situation.
