A. In all shoreline environments all uses on waterfront lots are prohibited over water as a principal or accessory use unless the use is allowed or allowed as a special use, a shoreline conditional use, or a Council conditional use in the shoreline environment where the use is proposed and the use is: 1. Boat moorage, off-loading goods from boats, dry docks, swimming platforms, uses on vessels authorized under Sections 23.60A.214 and 23.60A.215 , or other use components that by their nature require an over water location to operate; 2. Railroad, rail transit, streets, bridges, and tunnels that reasonably need to cross water that is regulated in this Chapter 23.60A ; 3. Floating home moorages, floating homes, house barges, and floating on-water residences authorized under Section 23.60A.202 , 23.60A.204 , and 23.60A.203 ; or 4. Allowed, allowed as a special use, allowed as a shoreline conditional use, or allowed as a Council conditional use as a use over water in the specific regulations for the type of use or for the shoreline environment. B. Any principal use allowed, allowed as a special use, allowed as a shoreline conditional use, or allowed as a Council conditional use in a specific shoreline environment may be an accessory use using the same process as if the use were the principal use, unless the use is prohibited as an accessory use in the shoreline environment. For the purposes of this subsection 23.60A.090.B, water-based airports, heliports, and helistops shall not be considered to be accessory to a principal use and are allowed pursuant to the applicable shoreline environment. C. A use that is prohibited as a principal use in a particular shoreline environment may be allowed as an accessory use on dry land if incidental to and necessary for the operation of a principal use that is allowed, allowed as a special use, allowed as a shoreline conditional use, or allowed as a Council conditional use in the specific shoreline environment, using the same process as the principal use, unless the use is prohibited as an accessory use in the shoreline environment. For purposes of this subsection 23.60A.090.C, water-based airports, heliports, and helistops shall not be considered to be accessory to a principal use and are allowed pursuant to the applicable shoreline environment. D. Standards for accessory uses 1. Accessory uses shall be located on the same development site as the principal use, except as provided in subsection 23.60A.090.D.2. 2. Accessory uses may be located off site if: a. The accessory use is allowed as a principal use in the shoreline environment applicable to an adjacent development site, the accessory use may be located on that adjacent development site; or b. The accessory use is parking and the parking is proposed to be located within 800 feet of the development site where the principal use is located; and 1) The parking is located in a new or existing parking structure or at an existing surface parking area; and 2) Additional and enhanced public access is provided commensurate with the area of parking that would have otherwise occurred on the site; 3) Ecological restoration and enhancement in the form of a decrease in the amount of impervious surface and an increase in the amount of native vegetation is provided commensurate with the area of parking that would have otherwise occurred on the site; and 4) Existing surface parking is removed within the Shoreline District or the area of new or existing parking is reduced in the Shoreline District.
