§ 50-169. Dock densities.

(a)

New or expanded facilities. Expansion of existing or construction of new residential dock facilities shall be limited to a density of one dock per platted lot or per 100 feet of shoreline within single-family zones and a maximum of two boat slips per 100 feet for multifamily zones. As used in this subsection, the term "boat slip" is defined as a place to moor a vessel, created by the construction of finger piers at right angles to the main pier walkway. For a single-family dwelling, the walkway and terminal platform constitute a "boat slip."

(b)

Permit exemptions. No county permit shall be required for private docking facilities which meet the density standards cited in subsection (a) of this section and which also meet the intensity, siting and permit exemption requirement of F.S. § 403.813(2)(b)1—4, which are hereby incorporated by reference as though fully copied in this section.

(c)

Nonexempt permitting requirements. Docking facilities not exempt under subsection (b) of this section must meet the permitting requirements of federal and state agencies including, but not limited to, the United States Army Corps of Engineers and state department of environmental regulation. Nothing in this section shall prevent the adoption of land development regulations which provide more restrictive density, intensity, siting and permitting requirements for nonexempt docks.
