<br />THE ZONING REPORT
<br />
<br />lings on large-lots in these zones, 20,000 sq ft or more, and other codes might allow any
<br />use in these, zones if the impervious surface ratio is severely limited within a specified
<br />distance of. the' regulatory shoreline, perhaps }o a ratio of 5-15% of the area of the lot
<br />within the regulatory area. Agricultural uses in the zone must be normal and conventional
<br />farming, wliich excludes confined pasturage, industrial-type animal husbandry and feedlots.
<br />(b). Residential shoreline base zones. To maintain resource protection of the shoreline,
<br />these zone~ are limited to large-lot estate lots or they allow any residential density, in-
<br />cluding keY~hole development, subject to PUD regulations specifically imposed in the zone
<br />to protect ~horelines and regulate the boat carrying capacity of adjoining waters. Cluster
<br />development is encouraged, perhaps by granting density bonuses if large amounts of the
<br />cluster common open space is located along the shoreline and the dwellings located as far
<br />from the shoreline as practical.
<br />(c). Commercial shoreline base zones. Codes either allow most or all uses conditionally or
<br />by right w~th extensive site..and marine development qualifications, subject to site plan
<br />review. Uses allowed are: marinas, yacht clubs, community commercial recreation, boat
<br />sales, service and repair, and water-related retail uses and consumer services. Residential
<br />live-aboard~ and houseboats may be allowed within marinas subject to any non-zoning li-
<br />censing and.. marine regulation, and off-street parking provided for personal vehicles of the
<br />boat dwelli~g occupants in an appropriate ratio of spaces .to dwellings and guests.
<br />(d). Industrial shoreline base zones and port zones. Codes might create two industrial
<br />zones, one 'for lighter less intensive marine uses and an industrial port district for major
<br />heavy industrial uses.
<br /> (i). Li~ght industrial marine zones include boat (not ship) building, remodeling, sales,
<br /> repai~, major boat hull and engine maintenance and repair; boat chandler, parts
<br /> sales /and installation; landing, icing, processing and shipping of fresh fish, shellfish
<br /> and crustaceans. Accessory uses include bait and tackle shops, dryboat storage, sale
<br /> of fuel and lubricants; boat parts sales.
<br /> (ii). PPrt development zones include major quay and wharf cargo handling facilities,
<br /> crane~ and hoists, teaming truck aisles and railroad tracks related to cargo transfer,
<br /> shipbuilding, repair and remodeling, drydocks for shipbuilding, wet-slip docking of
<br /> ships including cruise ships, warehouse and holding and claiming facilities, outdoor
<br /> storage of cargo. /~ccessory uses include offices, boat and ship chandlers, marinas,
<br /> helipo'rts, fishing activities and wet-storage of major fishing vessels and commercial
<br /> fisheries. Other ancillary uses in port zones include bulk storage for on-site con-
<br /> sumption or off-site distribution, open bulk storage of dryfoods and feedstocks such
<br /> as wood, coal, peat, gravel, sand, pulpwood, stumpage and limestone; and tank stor-
<br /> age of liquids include special site standards for explosives, corrosive Iiquids, Iiqui-
<br /> fled gases and toxic materials.

<br />9. SUBDIVISION CODE REGULATIONS FOR SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT
<br />
<br />A. Suitability of laqd for subdivision development. AIl subdivision codes have a boilerplate section
<br />that prohibits development on unsuitable land. This section authorizes the CPC to reject plats
<br />and provides an appeals procedure for these rejections. The section prohibits subdivision on lands
<br />having severe limitations for development, severe erosion potential, flooding, inadequate drainage,
<br />soil and rock formations, surface and subsurface geoIogy that substantially inhibits development
<br />nor allows septic s]/stems, and plats proposed to be served by package treatment systems, well
