B. Land Use Zoning Districts:
1. Purpose: The development of shorelands of public waters shall be controlled by means of land use zoning districts which are designated to be compatible with the classes of public waters to which they apply. Land use zoning districts are established to provide for:
a. The management of areas unsuitable for development due to wet soils, steep slopes, flooding, inadequate drainage, severe erosion potential, presence of significant historic sites, or any other feature likely to be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of the residents of the city.
b. The preservation of areas suitable for residential development from encroachment by commercial and industrial uses.
c. The centralization of service facilities for residential areas and enhancement of economic growth for those areas suitable for limited commercial development.
d. The management of areas for commercial or industrial uses which, by their nature, require location in shoreland areas.
e. The preservation and enhancement of the quality of water based recreational use of public waters including provisions for public accesses.
2. Land Use Districts For Lakes And Rivers:
P = Permitted
C = Conditional use
N = Not permitted
