The purpose of the resort district is to provide for tourist recreational development in areas of unique scenic and recreational values. It is the intent of this district to permit commercial tourist recreational facilities that provide a destination point and a range of necessary services and activities for visitors. It is also the intent of this district to provide for maximum public access, enjoyment, and use of an area's scenic, natural, and recreational resources while ensuring preservation of such resources. Where this district is applied to areas adjacent to the shoreline, uses permitted shall at least in part require an ocean front location in order to operate. This district is not intended for highway service commercial uses.
