Use Standard Type Draft Standard Narrative All parking areas and structures, except shoreline facilities that require a location adjoining the water, must meet Structure Setbacks & the dimensional and performance standards in these rules, and be designed to incorporate topographic and River -Dependent Screening vegetative screening of parking areas and structures. Commercial & Industrial Uses, Shoreline facilities must comply with chapters 6120 and 6115, MN Statutes, section 866.115, including: Water Supply, • be designed in a compact fashion so as to minimize the shoreline area impacted; Wastewater • blend in with the surrounding shoreline so that all maneuvering activities can be normally confined to an Treatment, area bounded by the property lines as extended into the river; Stormwater Shoreline Facilities . minimize the surface area occupied in relation to the number of watercraft or barges to be served; and Facilities, . minimize encroachment waterward of the OHWL. Hydropower All other applicable federal, state, and local regulations and permit requirements must be met. Advertising signs will generally be guided by underlying zoning, provided that: (1) the signs meet all required dimensional and performance standards in these rules, and (2) the signs are not visible from the river. Directional signs for patrons arriving by watercraft are allowed per chapter 6120. (6120 provides that uses that depend on Signs Standards patrons arriving by watercraft may use signs to convey necessary information to the public. Signs may be located in the SIZ, and must convey only the location and name of the establishment and the general types of goods and services available, must be <10 ft in height, <32 sq ft in area. Lighting must be shielded to prevent illumination out across the river and to the sky.) Slope Preservation Zone (SPZ) = land on and within 20' of bluffs and very steep slopes. Shore Impact Zone (SIZ) = land located between the OHWL and a line parallel to it at % the required structure setback from the OHWL (but not less than 50') or the area 50' landward of the OHWL in agricultural areas. River -Dependent Commercial & Industrial Use = the use of land for commercial or industrial purposes, where access to and use of a surface water feature is an integral part of the normal conductance of business, including but not limited to barge facilities and marinas. Shoreline Facilities = facilities that require a location adjoining the water as part of their function, including but not limited to barge slips, commodity loading and unloading equipment, watercraft lifts, and short-term watercraft mooring for patrons .
