Structures, including floats and piers, shall not occupy more than 50 percent of the submerged land of any lot, except as provided in subsections 23.60A.448.C and 23.60A.448.D; and 2. Structures shall not occupy more than 50 percent of the dry land of any lot. B. Upland lots. The lot coverage requirements of the underlying zone applies. C. Lot coverage exceptions. Piers may exceed allowed lot coverage by the addition of floats for open wet moorage. Existing or new floats may exceed the existing lot coverage or the lot coverage limit, whichever is greater, by a total of 1,600 square feet for all floats. An additional 400 square feet of coverage is allowed for an access ramp. D. Allowance for increased lot coverage. In addition to overwater coverage allowed in subsections 23.60A.448.A through 23.60A.448.C, additional overwater coverage may be allowed for a water-dependent use or a permitted public use, if the following conditions are met: 1. An equivalent amount of overwater coverage is permanently removed from another overwater structure located within the UH Environment prior to the increase in overwater coverage of the lot; 2. The total amount of coverage on the lot with increased coverage does not exceed 65 percent of the submerged land of the lot; and 3. The owner of the lot reducing overwater coverage agrees in writing to the removal of the overwater coverage. (Ord. 124105 , § 3, 2013.)
