(1) Purpose. The purpose of the medium-intensity environment designation is to provide for water-oriented and non-water-oriented commercial, mixed-use, and residential uses while protecting existing ecological functions and restoring ecological functions in areas that have been previously degraded. Adaptive reuse of existing structures for office uses is emphasized, along with public access and water-enjoyment uses.

(2) Designation Criteria. A medium-intensity environment designation shall be assigned to shoreline areas if they currently support residential, water-enjoyment, or commercial uses; are located in upland areas outside of stream buffers; and are suitable and planned for limited intensity commercial, residential, or water-enjoyment uses.
