• Residential development will be considered if higher densities are proposed and architectural designs compliment the waterfront and will be given preference where "resort" theme is maintained (i.e. condominiums , time-sharing apartments)
• connections to municipal services will be required for any development.
• Structures over 15m in height may be permitted subject to the maintenance of waterfront vistas, compatibility of proposed use with surroundings , restriction of structure to a property area of 2 ha where no other development is allowed and use of site buffering & Landscaping to minimize visual impact.
• Expansion of marinas in this area will be supported by Council.
