Public beach renourishment projects, including maintenance of adjacent private property, benefit and constitute an improvement for the entire city and also provide a significant and direct benefit to owners of the adjacent, private beachfront property. The purpose of this subchapter is:
(A) To safeguard the city's critical and significant commitment to and investment in beach renourishment and preservation;
(B) To abate any nuisance that might be created on private property by beach renourishment including ponding, or areas significantly lower than the elevation of the renourishment that could threaten the integrity of the renourished beach;
(C) To ameliorate and prevent public hazards, detrimental environmental impacts, adverse effects on the quality of a coastal resource, and disruption of access to a public coastal resource that might be created when private property adjacent to a renourishment is not also renourished or is otherwise maintained in a manner that is not compatible with the renourishment or compromises the integrity of the renourishment;
(D) To protect, preserve, restore, and enhance the beach/dune system that protects life and property; and
(E) To comply with requirements imposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or any other entity conducting beach renourishment.
