A. A shoreline setback of 35 feet from the OHW mark is required except for upland lots abutting the water, in which case the setback is measured from the most waterward side of the waterfront lot. B. No development, use, or shoreline modification is allowed within this shoreline setback except as allowed in Section 23.60A.167 . C. In addition to shoreline setback required in subsection 23.60A.390.A, residences on waterfront lots shall not be located further waterward than adjacent residences as measured in subsection 23.60A.206.B.3. D. Existing structures and uses that would be considered nonconforming because they are located in the required shoreline setback in the UC Environment are not regulated as nonconforming structures based on setback standards. Such structures may not be expanded in any manner in the setback but may be replaced if an area of ecological restoration equivalent to the footprint of the structure located in the shoreline setback is provided pursuant to Section 23.60A.159 . (Ord. 124750 , § 37, 2015; Ord. 124105 , § 3, 2013.)
