13.07.040 Marina.
A. Purpose. The purpose of the “marina” environment is to provide an appropriate degree of special consideration for this ongoing water-dependent and water-related business that provides services related to boat moorage, boat repair, and upland boat storage. This use is currently unique in Bothell’s shorelines.
B. Designation Criteria. Assign a marina environment designation to the Blue Heron Landing property and boat basin and other properties which may become marinas in the future.
C. Management Policies.
1. Provisions for the operation and management of the marina environment should be directed towards maintaining and enhancing water-dependent and water-related services, while ensuring that existing and future activity does not degrade ecological functions.
2. Dimensional standards for new or modified over-water structures should allow for safe and efficient use of the marina, while contributing to the maintenance or improvement of current ecological conditions.
3. Standards should be developed that require appropriate use of materials or techniques to enhance water quality protection and meet current health, safety, and welfare requirements.
4. Aesthetic objectives should be implemented by means such as sign control regulations, screening and architectural standards, and maintenance of natural vegetative buffers where they exist. (Ord. 2112 § 3 (Exh. C), 2013).
