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