THE ZONING REPORT Page Eight tended to a necessary depth of water (typically 10 ft) for reasonable draft navigability, all subject to pierhead, navigational and channel lines in the waterbody. Marine sanitation facilities and their standards of design, capacity and location must be met~ with capacity related to the number of wet slips in th4 marina; sanitation pump-out facilities must be provided and pump-out service must be provided at minimal periodic times (typically, at least weekly) to clear holding tanks. Land sanitation facilities (rest rooms and lavatories) are provided as normally required by the building and health codes. Solid waste deposit containers and dumpsters must be provided to accommodate land facilities and the number of boat slips provided. Marine fuel and service stations are allowed, subject to state wa- ter quality and fire safety standards, to be reviewed and approved by the Fire Chief. (b). Industrial uses include waterfront storage and cargo handling facilities~ warehouses and open storage, berthing facilities and associated support facilities~ truck and rail team- ing areas and transfer tracks and terminals~ water-using manufacturing or processing facil- ities and other manufacturing/processing uses which must be near waterbodies based on essentiality of production costs~ or be dangerous or unsafe unless next to waters. (c). Water-oriented amusements: use and enjoyment of boats, balloons, seaplanes, water-ski tows, parasail tows; sale/rental of watercraft and equipment~ jet skis~ parasails, transport- ers~ windsurfing equipment~ cabanas and cabana and nautical equipment, beach furniture~ and other similar activities may be permitted on land or, by special approval, on piers and wharves seaward of either the shore yard setback or the shoreline. (d). Other u.~es include: any use involving tie-up of boats and vessels; uses separately de- scribed (since they are allowed in different zones) for commercial vessels~ passenger ves- sels, cargo vessels, personal fishing boats and live-aboards and houseboats; piers, commer- cial beaches, multi-access or community piers (which are subject to special standards in the zoning code for keyhole or funnel development for lots with waterbody frontage), and recreational facilities, boathouses, wet boat sales, service and repair~ drydocks and dry- dock boat and apparatus sales and services. C. Water-related uses. They are allowed as conditional principal uses and as by-right accessory uses to water-oriented principal uses; they may include temporary docking for customers. They include: bait and tackle shops; marine photography, graphics and movie studios; marine oriented public institutions associated with waters, such as aquariums; boat parts store including wet-boat installation; dry-boat storage; gift and souvenir shops, laundries and dry cleaners, laundromats and restaurants; sale of marine fuel and lubricants; sale, service, repair and rental and boats, motors and marine/boat apparatus and hardware; accessory uses of hotels and residential uses, as cabanas, decks, swimming pools and underground utilities. In some residential zones, specified accessory uses to dwellings might be allowed for commercial fishing equipment storage for use by ,~ommercial fishing boats licensed to residential occupants with marine products licenses. D. Water-oriented uses specially restricted or prohibited along shorelines. Manure stockpiles, feedlots, confined pasturage and industrial type animal husbandry (which are defined as not being conventional agricultural activities); mining, sanitary and solid waste landfills, earth landfills, outdoor stockpiles of chemical 'powders and substances; petroleum, liquids and powders stored in tanks must be stored beyond specified setbacks from shoreline boundaries and may be required to contain spillage containment dikes. Uses that draw from underground water sources might be pro- hibited at certain distances individually determined for each proposed site, perhaps requiring lo- cation several miles inland, ~rom oceans, other salt or brackish waters, tidal estuaries and river reaches to prevent salt water intrusion into freshwater underground watertables.
