A. Purpose. This designation is intended to protect the banks of rivers, sloughs and waterways in the developed areas of the Borough and to restrict structural development in the Chena River floodway and flood hazard areas. The zone has been further designed to prohibit most structural development within the zone unless the structures are directly related to recreational waterfront purposes. This zone does not convey public use of private property.

B. Regulations and Standards. Permitted uses in this zone are: dock, deck or boat launch. Conditional uses are: boat houses, roads, bridges, trails, bike paths, bank stabilization and utilities. There shall be no minimum lot area except as may be required by the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation in areas where community sewer and water are unavailable. Setback from ordinary high water mark (except for permitted structures) shall not be less than 25 feet. (Ord. 2000-08 § 2, 2000. 2004 Code § 18.48.090.)
