Comprehensive Plan Coastal Management Element <br />(IL), and general industrial (IG). Commercial marinas shall be permitted in the general <br />commercial (CG) zoning district with administrative permit approval. <br />Policy 3.8: The county shall require an on-site mitigation plan to be submitted as part of any <br />proposal to site or expand a boat facility within an area of the IRL exhibiting environmental <br />constraints, such as manatee use, the presence of seagrass beds and/or shoreline vegetation. <br />Off-site restoration and/or mitigation to seagrass beds or estuarine wetlands are alternative <br />techniques that may be considered in the event that on-site mitigation is not practical. No <br />fee -in -lieu payments will be accepted as mitigation. <br />Policy 3.9: By July 2005, the County shall coordinate with the Town of Indian River Shores, <br />the Town of Orchid, the City of Sebastian and the City of Vero Beach concerning siting of <br />marina/boat facilities and the overall implementation of this MPP by conducting public <br />workshops and by soliciting comments from the staff and elected officials of these municipal <br />governments <br />Policy 3.10: In the event that an existing marina is destroyed by a natural disaster, the marina <br />may be re -built within the same footprint of the damaged structure provided that the marina <br />was in compliance with regulations at the time of its construction Existing Marinas that are <br />re -built shall be consistent with the policies listed under Objective 1 of the MPP <br />Policy 3.11: Covered boat slips, covered terminal platforms, and unwalled boat shelters <br />shall not be permitted in areas where SAV coverage is ten (10) percent or greater. <br />Policy 3.12: Floating docks and dock designs that have the potential to entrap manatees or <br />prevent them from accessing foraging areas shall be prohibited. <br />Policy 3.13: By 2005, the County Environmental Planning Section, in cooperation with the <br />FWC's Bureau of Protected Species Management, will produce a map titled Constraints to <br />Boat Facility Siting in the IRL. This map will display the areas of high, medium and low <br />constraints throughout the county. Density thresholds and limitations for development shall <br />apply to sites within these locations. This map will be kept on file in the Community <br />Development Department, and will be used to conduct site-specific reviews of boat facility <br />siting and expansion proposals. <br />Policy 3.14: A maximum density threshold of one (1) powerboat slip per 100 feet of <br />shoreline along the IRL shall apply in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 4, the portion of Zone 6 lying <br />within the Town of Indian River Shores, Zone 8, and Zone 9. <br />Policy 3.15: The County shall encourage the expansion and upgrading of existing boat <br />facilities as an alternative to constructing new boat facilities by considering the removal <br />of the 1:100 powerboat shoreline density ratio on a case-by-case basis from the following <br />Indian River County <br />Supplement #_ Ordiance #2005-__ Adopted <br />Coastal Management Element Page 108 <br />2005 Exhibit B Page Al <br />
