LAST AMENDED
4/22/2009

On #waterfront zoning lots#, the areas of the #upland lot# and the #seaward lot# shall be computed separately.

(a)    #Upland lot#

        All #bulk# regulations pertaining to the #upland lot# shall be satisfied entirely on such portion of the #zoning lot#. All #floor area#, #dwelling
        units# or #rooming units# generated by such portion shall be located within the #upland lot# and all #lot coverage# computations shall be based
        solely on the area of the #upland lot#.

(b)    #Seaward lot#

        Within the #seaward lot#, only the #water coverage# of #piers# or #platforms# that are structurally sound and physically accessible directly from
        the shore, with a surface that is capable of lawful occupancy, shall be deemed to be #lot area# for the purposes of determining allowable #floor
        area#, #dwelling units# or #rooming units#, or to satisfy any other #bulk# regulations, unless expressly stated otherwise. In no event shall the
        #water coverage# of a #building or other structure# projecting over the water from a #pier# or #platform# be included in #lot area#. #Lot
        coverage# provisions shall not apply to the #seaward lot#.

        Except where all #piers#, #platforms# or #floating structures# are occupied #predominantly# by WD #uses#, the maximum #water coverage#
        permitted on a #zoning lot# shall not exceed 50 percent and the #water coverage# of an #existing pier# or #platform# may not be increased by
        more than 10 percent.

(c)    Special provisions for #bulk# distribution

        #Floor area#, #dwelling units# or #rooming units# generated by #existing piers# or #platforms# within the #seaward lot# may be located
        anywhere on the #zoning lot# provided the amount on the #upland lot# does not exceed the maximum for the district on such portion of the
        #zoning lot# by more than 20 percent. No #bulk# distribution from the #seaward lot# shall be permitted for #new piers# or #platforms#, except
        within Waterfront Access Plan BK-1. Such #bulk# distribution shall be permitted for new portions of #piers# located within Waterfront Access
        Plan BK-1, provided that such new portion of the #pier# is accessed from a portion of an #existing pier# containing not less than 25 percent of
        the #water coverage# of such #existing pier# and that the #water coverage# of the new and existing portions of the #pier# does not exceed the
        #water coverage# of the #existing pier#.
