2. Include facilities for water supply, wastewater, stormwater, solid waste, access, utilities and other support facilities in conformance with local standards.
3. Be designed, configured and developed to:
a. Assure that no net loss of ecological functions will result from the initial division of the land, at full build-out of all the lots and throughout all phases of development.
b. Avoid critical areas and their buffers in accordance with Section 14.50.420.
c. Prevent the need for new hard or soft shoreline stabilization or flood hazard reduction measures in accordance with Sections 14.50.440 and 14.50.660.
d. Minimize physical impacts to vegetation and other natural features within the shoreline.
e. Assure that lots in proposed subdivisions are sufficiently sized and oriented to allow future residential development, without these residential uses requiring a shoreline variance. Lot configurations shall plan for building sites outside of required shoreline and critical area buffers.

C. Each residential structure, including accessory and appurtenant structures and uses, shall:
1. Comply with all applicable zoning regulations.
2. Meet all applicable critical areas, vegetation conservation and water quality standards of Article 4, General Policies and Regulations.

a. Assure no net loss of shoreline ecological functions.
b. Prevent the need for new structural flood hazard management measures to the greatest extent feasible.
c. Be sufficiently set back from steep slopes and shorelines vulnerable to erosion, in accordance with the required critical area and shoreline buffers, to ensure that structural improvements and stabilization structures are not necessary to protect such structures and uses.
