(a) There is hereby created a Lakeshore Drive/Harrison Street West Waterfront Overlay District in the City of Port Clinton Zoning ordinance. This District is created to promote and protect the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare by providing for the consistent and coordinated treatment of the properties in proximity to Lake Erie and its tributaries within the corporate limits of the City of Port Clinton.
(b) The underlying zoning districts in the Lakeshore Drive/Harrison Street West Waterfront Overlay area include the "WB" Waterfront Business District, the "GB" General Business District, and the "M-2" Heavy Manufacturing District.
(c) Land use regulations control development, but at the same time, these regulations must allow for the City to attract and encourage investment within its boundaries. The Lakeshore Drive/Harrison Street West Waterfront Overlay District does not change the existing zoning of the property within the geographic area that it covers, but it does create additional requirements and does limit the types of uses that may be permitted for the development or redevelopment of property within the Overlay area.
(Ord. 25-04. Passed 10-12-04.)
