Comprehensive Plan Coastal Management Element design restrictions to minimize potential adverse manatee impacts, including (but not limited to): restrictions on the total number of boat slips allowed; use of more upland storage instead of wet storage; restrictions on the maximum size of boats that use the facility (powerboat:sailboat ratio); re -design of the facility/marina; establishment of a powerboat to length of shoreline ration (e.g., one powerboat per 100 feet of shoreline); and/or reduction in the size of the facility/marina; and c. The following sections of the MPP Action Plan: Objective 1, Boat Facility and Marina Siting and Construction, Sections 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.14, and 1.15. Using the evaluation criteria in Section 4 above may result in additional restrictions on the design, size, shape, and use of the boating facility/marina. These restrictions may include, but are not limited to: the total number of boat slips allowed, use of more upland storage instead of wet storage, restricting the maximum size of boats that use the facility/marina, restricting the number of powerboats that use the facility 'powerboat to sailboat ratio), re -designing the facility/marina, establishing a powerboat to length of shoreline ratio (e.g., one powerboat per 100 feet of shoreline), or reducing the size of the facility/marina. 5. In addition, any new or the expansion, or rearrangement, or slip conversion, of existing boating facilities will be required to comply with all applicable state and federal permitting and authorization processes. 6. Notwithstanding the other criteria of this Policy 3.2, slip conversions of existing boat facilities in Indian River County may be allowed on a one-time basis at a density of 1.5 total powerboat slips per 100 feet of shoreline if the facility is not located in an area of high manatee use and high manatee mortality based on the definitions and criteria in the MPP, and if the powerboat to shoreline restriction on the existing facility has been in place prior to July 1993, when the countywide speed zone rule was posted. Policy 3.3: The following boat ramp siting criteria shall be used to evaluate any new boat ramp or the rearrangement or expansion of an existing boat ramp. These criteria shall be applied to all boat ramps (e g , new, existing, private, public, commercial, recreational, multi- family, or individual single-family). 1. The rearrangement of existing boat ramps shall not be subject to the boat ramp siting criteria unless any one of the following are true: a. The rearrangement will result in more lanes than currently exist (i.e., expansion); Indian River County Supplement # Ordiance #2005-_ Adopted Coastal Management Element Page 104 2005 Exhibit B Page 17
