This section is included in your selections.

In applying the policies and regulations of this section, the following definitions are used:

“Industrial” means the production, processing, manufacturing or fabrication of goods or materials. Warehousing and storage of goods and materials are considered industrial development.

“Port” means a center for water-borne commerce and traffic and includes marine terminals and moorage facilities.

Industrial and port developments are often associated with other uses and modifications that are identified separately in the SMP, such as parking or dredging. Every use and type of shoreline modification should be identified and reviewed for compliance with all applicable sections.

For the purposes of determining to which uses and activities this classification applies, the use of marine terminals and moorage facilities shall be permitted only where port and industrial uses are allowed. This use category shall likewise apply to facilities that handle the loading and unloading of cargo, freight mobility and materials associated with industrial or port uses.

Industrial and port development is intensive and has the potential to impact the shoreline environment. When impacts cannot be avoided, they must be mitigated to assure no net loss of the ecological function necessary to sustain shoreline resources.
