SEC. 69.00. FINDING.
 
   The Council of the City of Los Angeles hereby finds that the Marina del Rey Entrance Channel is a unique portion of the City of Los Angeles and requires special rules and regulations which cannot properly be applicable to any other portion of the City of Los Angeles. The reason for said uniqueness is that the Marina del Rey Entrance Channel is owned by the County of Los Angeles but is located within the City of Los Angeles. It is the means whereby small boats traverse from the Pacific Ocean into the Marina del Rey, a small boat harbor owned and operated by the County of Los Angeles and located within unincorporated territory. The provisions of this article shall be applicable only to the Marina del Rey Entrance Channel.
 
 
SEC. 69.01. DESCRIPTION.
 
   “Marina del Rey Entrance Channel” as used herein, and to which this article is applicable, shall mean all those inland waters of the State of California and lying within the city limits of the City of Los Angeles, lying northeasterly of the Marina del Rey Detached Breakwater and bounded by lines drawn northeasterly and perpendicular to the shore from lights 1 and 2 of said Breakwater (and being more particularly described as those waters inside of the lines of the “high seas” as described in Section 6552(f)(13), Title 14, of the California Administrative Code).
