Policies <br />1. Signs should be located, designed, and maintained to be visually compatible with <br />local shoreline scenery as seen from both land and water, especially on shorelines <br />of statewide significance. <br />2. Sign location and design should not significantly impair shoreline views or public <br />access. <br />B. Regulations <br />1. Signs may be permitted above the OHWM in any shoreline environment, subject to <br />the locally adopted signage standards. <br />6.18 Transportation <br />A. Policies <br />1. New public or private transportation facilities should be located inland from the <br />water, out of the shoreline, unless: <br />a. Perpendicular water crossings are required for access to authorized uses <br />consistent with this Program; or <br />b. Facilities are primarily oriented to pedestrian and non-motorized use and <br />provide an opportunity for a substantial number of people to enjoy shoreline <br />areas, and are consistent with policies and regulations in Section 5.2 <br />Environmental protection and critical areas. <br />2. Transportation facilities should be located and designed to avoid public recreation <br />and access areas and significant natural, historic, archaeological or cultural sites. <br />3. Parking shall only be allowed to support authorized uses. <br />4. Circulation planning shall include systems for pedestrian, bicycle and public <br />transportation where appropriate. Circulation planning and projects should support <br />existing and proposed shoreline uses that are consistent with this Master Program. <br />5. Transportation system route planning, acquisition, and design in the shoreline <br />should provide space wherever possible, for compatible multiple uses such as utility <br />lines, pedestrian shore access or view points, or recreational trails. <br />6. Transportation system plans and projects within shorelines should accommodate <br />non-motorized traffic such as pedestrians, bicyclists, or equestrians. Space for such <br />uses should be encouraged along roads on shorelines and should be considered <br />when rights-of-way are being disposed of or abandoned.
