A. Purpose. The purpose of the water-dependent industrial (WD-I) zone is to preserve elements of a working waterfront by providing urban shoreline areas intended primarily for commercial, public and recreational uses that require direct contact with the water and cannot exist at a nonwater location due to the intrinsic nature of the operation. Small boat facilities, water-related uses serving marine needs and marine recreational uses are allowed. Development in this zone that is also located within the shoreline jurisdiction must also meet the applicable standards of the Bainbridge Island shoreline management master program. It is a further purpose of this zone to require that development and uses employ best management practices and best available facilities practices and procedures that minimize impacts and protect affected land uses, or the natural environment, including marine wildlife habitat areas, from potential air, water, noise, visual or other forms of pollution, and to encourage public access to the water through waterfront trails and other means that provide both physical and visual access to the water.

B. Performance Standards. All uses allowed in the WD-I district shall conform to the performance standards listed in BIMC 18.06.050 as well as the following:

1. Pollution. Pollution prevention and water quality protection shall be required of all development and operations of facilities that are located within the shoreline jurisdiction by employing current best management practices and best available facilities practices and procedures for marine facilities in accordance with Chapters 15.20 and 15.22 BIMC.

2. Noise. See BIMC 18.06.030.B.1.

3. Lighting. Lighting standards set forth in BIMC 18.15.040 shall apply to the WD-I district. (Ord. 2016-28 § 10, 2016; Ord. 2011-02 § 2 (Exh. A), 2011)
