5. Industrial and Port Development 1
A. Policies 2
1. In securing shoreline locations for industrial or port development, preference should
be given fIrst to water-dependent industrial or port development, then to water-related
industrial or port development.
2. Restoration of impaired shoreline ecological functions and processes should be
encouraged as part of industrial and port development.
3. Industrial and port development should be visually compatible with adjacent non-
commercial properties.
4. Industrial and port uses located in shoreline jurisdiction should provide public access
in accordance with Article 6 section 3 (Public Access) of this Program.
5. Shorelines suitable for deep-water harbors with access to adequate rail, highway and
utility systems should be reserved for water-dependent or water-related industrial and
port development.
6. Port facilities should be designed to allow the public to view harbor areas and should
provide public facilities that do not interfere with port operations or endanger public
health and safety.
7. Where feasible, transportation and utility corridors serving industrial and port uses
should be located away from the water's edge to minimize ecological impacts and to
reduce the need for waterfront signs and other infrastructure.
8. Industrial or port development at deep-water sites should be limited to those uses that
produce the greatest long-term economic benefit and least environmental impact.
9. Industrial and port development should be protected from encroachment or
interference by incompatible uses such as residential or commercial uses, which have
less stringent siting requirements.
10. Private and public entities should be encouraged to cooperatively use piers, cargo

handling, storage, parking and other accessory facilities in waterfront industrial/port
areas.
11. Log storage is not a desired use of the County's shoreline and should be allowed only
when adequate measures are taken to minimize adverse impacts. Upland log storage
is preferred over in-water storage
12. Industrial and Port Development within/on Shorelines of State-Wide Significance are
prohibited.
13. All Industrial and Port Development activities must also comply with the
requirements of Article 8.3.
