To be allowed as a nonwater-oriented use the uses listed in subsection 23.60A.502.C.1 shall: a. Provide a service used by a water-dependent or water-related use located in the same sub-geographic area; and b. The uses that are not water-dependent or water-related allowed in this subsection 23.60A.502.C and subsections 23.60A.502.D and 23.60A.502.E must occupy a total area equal to no more than 20 percent of the dry land area of the site, except as provided in subsection 23.60A.502.D.7. 3. Permits issued pursuant to this subsection 23.60A.502.C shall identify the specific uses and gross floor areas of each use that is authorized by the permit under this subsection 23.60A.502.C and the other uses that occupy the 80 percent dry land area on the site. D. General commercial, storage and manufacturing uses 1. The following uses are allowed if water-dependent or water-related, or if the standards of subsections 23.60A.502.C are met, or if the standards of subsections 23.60A.502.D.2 through 23.60A.502.D.8 are met; these uses are otherwise prohibited: a.
