23.60A.450

A. A shoreline setback of 25 feet from the OHW mark is required. No development, use, or shoreline modification is allowed within the shoreline setback except as provided in Section 23.60A.167 and the minimum necessary for: 1. Structures providing overhead weather protection within the public right-of-way, such as canopies or awnings, that enhance the pedestrian environment and complement street level activity and uses in abutting development; and 2. Stairs, ramps, overhead pedestrian walkways, mechanical assists, and other forms of pedestrian access to passenger terminal facilities and public open space located above street level, to improve public access to these passenger terminal facilities and public open space areas from upland areas, increase public safety and minimize pedestrian and vehicle conflicts, and contribute to an active and inviting pedestrian environment along Alaskan Way. B. The side setback is 50 feet from the nearest lot line for all fixed pier structures, not including moorage floats. One-half of an adjacent submerged street right-of-way may be counted towards meeting this requirement. C. Existing structures and uses that would be considered nonconforming because they are located in the required shoreline setback in the UH Environment are not regulated as nonconforming structures based on setback standards. Such structures may not expand 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 .
