§ 72-1057. Standard for review.

Review criteria. In determining whether the development is permissible under the provisions of this article, the EMD shall consider, but not be limited to the following criteria:

(1)

This distance (linear feet) of the development from existing adjacent structurally sound seawall, bulkhead or revetment existing on the effective date of this article to determine if it is located in a predominately natural coastline (PNC) area or a predominately armored (non-PNC) area.

(2)

The ability of armoring to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the upland dune system, thus protecting the upland structure from coastal erosion.

(3)

The necessity to conduct such coastal construction for potential benefits versus adverse impacts to the coastal system.

(4)

The ability of flexible armoring to achieve the same coastal protective objectives.

(5)

The degree, if any, of interference or reduction of public access along the beach.

(6)

The condition and design of armoring on either side of the proposed site.
