The siting of new boat facilities, or the expansion, slip conversion or rearrangement of existing boating facilities, shall be <br />prohibited in the following areas: <br />• Within the Town of Orchid; <br />• Within the Town of Indian River Shores; <br />• Within the area known as the Jungle Trail Narrows; and <br />• Within any area designated as both a High Manatee Use area and a High Watercraft-related Manatee Mortality area, as <br />defined in the MPP" <br />The County's MPP shall establish the Boat Facility Siting Zones (1-9) and the baseline criteria that all proposed projects <br />must meet.

The rearrangement of existing boat ramps shall not be subject to the boat ramp siting criteria unless any one of the <br />following are true: <br />a. The rearrangement will result in more lanes than currently exist (i.e., expansion); <br />b. The rearrangement will result in the boat ramp being able to increase the volume of traffic (e.g., increase the number <br />of parking spaces, make the boat ramp more accessible, deepen or widen the access channel); <br />c. The rearrangement will result in the boat ramp being able to be used by larger vessels (e.g., increase the size of the <br />parking spaces, deepen or widen the access channel); or <br />d. The rearrangement or the associated construction will destroy, alter, or disturb any native upland, shoreline <br />PAGE 116
