(1) Where allowed, commercial and industrial development and use should be located, designed and operated to avoid and minimize adverse impacts on shoreline ecological functions and processes.

(2) Commercial and industrial use and development should be located outside of shoreline jurisdiction unless the use/development is water-oriented. Preference should be given first to water-dependent uses, then to water-related, and water-enjoyment uses. When permitted, the scale and degree of disturbance associated with the commercial and industrial use/development should be minimized.

(3) Allow for new water-oriented commercial uses and infill/redevelopment of existing areas within the Marine Waterfront shoreline environmental designation consistent with this Program. Commercial land use in all other environmental designations should be limited to isolated, small-scale businesses consistent with the policies and regulations of this Program and Clallam County Zoning Code (CCC Title 33). Avoid creating new patterns of waterfront commercial development along shoreline reaches.

(4) Water-oriented industrial and port development (Port of Port Angeles) should be directed to existing waterfront industrial areas such as in the City of Port Angeles, and urban growth areas and rural centers, where such uses already exist, are planned for, and supported by adequate infrastructure in city or County comprehensive plans and zoning regulations. Avoid creating new patterns of industrial waterfront development outside of such established and planned areas.

(5) Where allowed, commercial and industrial use and development should be located and designed to be compatible with adjoining noncommercial/industrial uses in terms of noise, aesthetics, scale and other factors.

(6) Proponents of commercial and industrial development are encouraged to restore impaired shoreline ecological functions and processes as part of their development proposal.

(7) The County should review proposals for new commercial and industrial developments to determine if any such development would thwart or substantially compromise planned restoration actions. The County should work with the proponents of each project to resolve likely conflicts between the proposed development and planned restoration.
