Trustees approve special permit for Nalu Dry Goods at Bay Walk

The Village of Ocean Beach Board of Trustees approved Special Permit Application #332, clearing the way for a new retail business, Nalu Dry Goods, to open at the former Woof location at 153–154 Bay Walk.

Applicant Marie Fisher told the board the shop will sell coastal apparel and accessories for adults and youth, plan to staff 1–2 employees per shift and operate roughly 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. The Planning Board reported it had inspected the building, found no concerns, and voted 3–0 to recommend approval without conditions. The board opened the hearing to public comment, heard none that opposed the application, then voted to approve the permit.

"It's going to be very similar [to my Bayshore store]," Fisher said, describing inventory decisions intended to avoid duplicating lines carried by other local retailers. Trustees congratulated the applicant and moved on to other agenda items.
