Waterfront Access Plans (WAPs) allow for the modification of waterfront public access area requirements to address unique conditions in specific areas. The area must consist of at least a full block or four acres with 600 feet or more of shoreline. A WAP adapts waterfront zoning regulations governing public access and height and setback requirements to the specific conditions and planning goals for a defined area. It can be used, for instance, to ensure seamless continuity of shore public walkways to be developed over time by multiple property owners.
