The relief granted protects the public interest served by the regulations at issue and is the appropriate relief necessary to prevent the corridor regulations from inordinately burdening the real property. (8) Voluntary guidelines. (a) Residential subdivisions within the planning area are encouraged to adhere to the sign and landscape buffer requirements along U.S. 1 and CR 510. (b) The following voluntary architectural guidelines are established to encourage, through private and public investment, the development of the Wabasso Corridor as a cohesive, functional and aesthetic whole. The guidelines contain standards addressing components of the physical development of structures in the corridor. Based upon location, history, environmental attributes, historic resources and character, these guidelines reflect an architectural theme using elements found throughout Florida's past, referred to as "Old Florida" style. General criteria. Besides defining the community's low density, low rise character, building heights should relate to open spaces to allow sufficient light and ventilation, effective use of prevailing winds for cooling, enhancement of views and minimizing the obstruction of views to adjoining structures and other locations. Buildings should be designed to lessen the appearance of excessive bulk. Ostentatious or overly -prominent building shapes that are out of harmony in context with their visual environment, including adjacent structures and the landscaped framework, are discouraged. The surfaces of enclosing walls of large-scale commercial structures should incorporate elements relating to the scale of pedestrian movement and view. Vertical enclosing walls should be sub -divided into clearly visible bays, each a minimum of sixty (60) feet in width. Coding: Words in strike tbrott type are deletions from existing law.

A public pier is built, used, operated, or owned by a governmental entity. Main access pier the walkway which connects a riparian owner's property to a terminal platform. The main access pier is not used to moor a boat. Terminal platform that part of a dock or pier, including finger piers, that is connected to the main access pier, is located at the terminus of the facility, and is designed to secure and load or unload a boat on docks, or conduct other water -dependent activities on piers. The terminal platform does not include the main access pier. Water dependent activity an activity which can only be conducted on, in, over, or adjacent to, water areas because the activity requires direct access to the water body for transportation, recreation, energy production or transmission, or source of water and where the use of the water is an integral part of the activit3L I Piers, Docks, and Boatslips Revisions to LDR Section 932.07 Section 932.07 of the LDR is hereby amended as follows: (1) Restrictions upon regularly moored watercraft; maintenance. Watercraft shall not be regularly moored along any shore without consent of the riparian land owner. Regularly moored watercraft shall not be used as live -aboard vessels, offices or commercial enterprises except in commercial marinas with approval and facilities for that purpose. Regularly moored watercraft shall be kept in seaworthy condition when not in a permitted repair area. The mooring of live -aboard vessels (as defined in Chapter 901) in commercial marinas shall be limited to those boat slips designated for live -aboard vessels use on an approved site plan meeting the provisions described in section 971.35(3). (2) Location of boatslips. Boatslips shall be permitted only as a wet storage area adjacent to a dock, marina, boat livery, or boat yard. Boat slips shall not encroach upon a riparian Coding: Words in strike thfott type are deletions from existing law. Words underlined are additions. 35 side yard setback as determined by the applicable zoning side yard setback of the zoning district in which the project is located, as extended waterward from the adjacent upland. No portion of a watercraft moored at such boatslip shall project into the extended riparian side yard setback, unless necessary to allow the utilization of riparian rights. (3) Projection of waterfront structures. (a) Unwalled hmt shelters. Unwalled bay shelters may be erected over boatslips associated with docks or over the terminal platform associated with private observation/fishing piers and public piers; however, no part of such shelter may be erected beyond the shoreline unless the following conditions are met: 1. The applicant shall provide a detailed inventory of sea grasses and submerged aquatic vegetation in the area to reviewing county staff, 2. The applicant must demonstrate that the unwalled berat shelter does not adversely impact light-sensitive aquatic resources such as sea grasses; 3. The combined total surface area of the unwalled boat shelter and the terminal platform of the associated dock, private observation/fishing pier, or public pier shall not exceed Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) size limitations where such structures are located in an aquatic preserve, provided that in no case, however, shall the surface area covered by an unwalled boat shelter exceed four hundred (400) square feet on a dock or one hundred six1y(160) square feet on a private observation/fishing pier; and 4. The height of the unwalled boat shelter shall not exceed twenty (20) feet above the mean high water line. (b) Extension of docks, public piers, and private observation/ rshiag piers in waterways; generally. 1. Docks and piers, including tie -off piles, mooring or dolphin poles, and public piers shall not project outward from the shore more than twenty-five (25) percent of the width of the waterway at a point where they are located. The outward projection of a dock and associated structures shall be measured from the water's edge at mean low tide. The location, dimensions, and structural character of all structures shall be in conformity with applicable federal and state jurisdictional agency regulations. 2. Private observation/fishing piers shall not project outward from the shore more twenty-five (25) percent of the width of the waterway at anoint where the fishing_pier is located, or 35' beyond the shoreline, whichever is less. The outward projection of an observation/fishing pier shall be measured from the water's edge Coding: Words in strtke through type are deletions from existing law. Words underlined are additions. 36 at mean low tide. The location, dimensions, and structural character of all structures shall be in conformity with applicable federal and state jurisdictional agency regulations. (c) [Exceptions.] Application of paragraphs in "b" above shall not result in a unobstructed waterway of less than twenty-five (25) feet in width (twelve and one-half (12 %) feet either side of the waterway centerline). (4) Riparian side yard setback encroachment prohibited. No dock, pier • boat shelter or other waterfront structure may encroach on a required riparian side yard setback as extended waterward for the zoning district in which the project is located, unless such an encroachment is necessary for the utilization of riparian rights. Notwithstanding, an applicant shall have an opportunity to apply for an administrative approval to construct a water front structure within a riparian side yard setback, under the following circumstances. (a) Shared facilities. Adjoining property owners desiring to share dock/boat slip facilities may apply for administrative approval pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 914. The applicants shall provide a detailed plan showing the dock location and configuration and all aquatic and shoreline vegetation. If approved, shared facilities may allow for up to four (4) or less boat slips without being considered multi -slip facilities. The applicant(s) shall also provide written conformation of a recorded access easement which verifies joint access to the proposed structure. Adjoining property owners sharing dock boat/slip facilities shall not be permitted to construct additional, separate dock/boat slip facilities prior to the removal of the existing structure. Encroachment of the shared facility may only occur with regards to the adjoining property owner's shared lot lines. (b) Hardships. In cases where lot configurations may create a hardship as applied to riparian side yard setback encroachment of single-family dock/boat slips, the applicant may apply for administrative approval pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 914. The applicant shall provide a detailed plan indicating the nature of the hardship as well as the proposed dock location, specifications and any aquatic or shoreline vegetation. County staff shall notify any affected adjacent property owner, as applicable, of the pending application. In all cases, the proposed encroachment shall be the minimum necessary to allow for the desired use. (c) Environmental constraints. In cases where environmental conditions on a subject property are such that the location of a dock or other waterfront structure within a riparian side yard setback would afford the best protection of on-site natural resources, an applicant may apply for and be granted an administrative approval pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 914. Natural resources that warrant riparian side yard setback encroachment consideration for protection purposes include mangroves and submerged aquatic vegetation.

Piers, docks, boat shelters, and other waterfront structures shall be located in order to minimize negative impacts on shoreline vegetation and marine grassbeds, as applicable. On riparian property where the location of a waterfront structure over or in the vicinity of light-sensitive aquatic vegetation (such as sea grasses) is unavoidable, such structure (or portion thereof) shall be constructed a minimum of five (5) feet above the mean high water level where said aquatic vegetation exists or could potentially exist, as determined by county environmental planning staff. Said determination shall be based on staff review of seagrass inventory information and site specific conditions. (6) Design Prohibition and construction of characteristics of observation/ ishing piers. All private observation/fishing National Wildlife piers shall - be constructed to the following No design fishing be built private pier shall permitted, authorized, or characteristics: the The main access pi Uer shall not exceed four (4) feet in width.

U That portion of the fishing pier that extends waterward of the mean high water line shall be elevated at least five feet above the mean high water line, as measured from the top of the decking material. This elevation shall apply to both the main access pier as well as the terminal platform. The purpose of the elevation is to reduce or eliminate the potential for mooring of boats at the observation/fishing pier. "No Mooring" signs shall be installed on opposite sides of the main access pier and on the end of the terminal platform facing waterward (i.e., three signs in total). Lettering_ shall be no less than four (4) inches high and no greater than six (66) inches high. 4.
