The City shall maintain criteria and/or standards for prioritizing shoreline uses, giving priority to water-dependent uses, particularly those consistent with existing shoreline uses. The measurement of this Objective is the development and adoption of such criteria and/or standards.

Policy CM-3.1:

The City shall establish priorities for shoreline uses, providing for siting of water-dependent and water-related uses; establish performance standards for shoreline development; and establish criteria for marina siting which address: land usecompatibility, availability of upland support services, existing protective status or ownership, hurricane contingency planning, protection of water quality, water depth, environmental disruptions and mitigation actions, availability for public use, and economic need and feasibility.

Policy CM-3.2:

The City shall review, update (if necessary) and enforce hazard mitigation regulations relating to building practices; floodplain use; beach and dune alteration; stormwater management; sanitary sewer and septic tanks; and land use; and the City shall adopt the recommendations of the hazard mitigation annex of the local peacetime emergency plan and applicable existing interagency hazard mitigation reports--all with the underlying rationale of reducing the exposure of human life and property to natural hazards.
