C-f' � 2030 Management Elements of this Plan, and with all applicable environmental regulations. 3B. All significant natural resources and systems shall be protected from incompatible land uses, including the Intra-coastal Waterway, coastal wetlands and mangrove areas and reestablished coastal dune systems and vegetation. 3C. The City of Sunny Isles Beach shall not increase maximum densities and intensities in the Coastal High Hazard Area beyond that which is permitted in the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations as of May 1, 2016, including bonuses and transfer of development rights provided therein. The provision of facilities and services to accomplish the timely evacuation of the City's residents in advance of approaching hurricanes shall be a priority of the City of Sunny Isles Beach's transportation planning and hurricane preparedness programs. 3D. Bulkhead repair or construction shall include the placement of rip -rap except where placement would be a hazard to navigation, or public safety, or would preclude continued public recreational uses. Alternatives to rip -rap, such as an area of wave- absorbing material built into a seawall, shall be evaluated for use in places where rip- rap is not practical or safe, and where boat wakes create hazards to navigation. 3E. A wide range of public water -oriented opportunities shall be provided at the water's edge within the coastal areas in the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Through its Development Review process, the City shall continue to afford greater visual and physical public access to the beach and Intra-coastal Waterway. 3F. The City shall place a high priority on maintaining existing water -dependent uses (i.e., uses which cannot exist or occur without association with coastal or estuarine water masses), and water -related uses by the public by identifying appropriate, environmentally compatible areas for such activities. Priority will be given in land planning by the City for water -dependent land uses along the shoreline. 3G. New developments along the beach and Intra-coastal Waterway at a minimum should include environmentally compatible shoreline access facilities such as walkways, piers, and viewing areas with landscaping grouped or spaced for views of and from the water. 3H. The use of causeways, road rights -of -way and canal easements at shorelines shall be expanded wherever possible and additional sites sought to provide public access for water -related activities.
