Waterfront Master Plan Advisory Committee

Overview

The City of Morro Bay formed a special purpose Waterfront Master Plan Advisory Committee (WMPAC) consisting of community members and local stakeholders to act in an advisory capacity and provide recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council.  The WMPAC will provide recommendations on policy and design components on the Waterfront Master Plan. The estimated completion date for the Waterfront Master Plan is November 30^th, 2026.

                Harbor Advisory Board; 
                Public Works Advisory Board;
