This is an industrial zone intended to preserve industrial areas in the harbor for marine industrial uses, that are characterized as water-dependent or water related. Because there is a very limited amount of shorelands adjacent to the Port Angeles Harbor, a zone that allows for mixed uses that do not adversely impact each other can maximize potential water-dependent, water related, and water enjoyment uses of the harbor without excluding either industrial or non-industrial uses being intermixed. Certain commercial, residential, public, and other mixed uses may be appropriately located in this zone, and, therefore, heavy industrial manufacturing uses, that have significant nuisance factors, shall not be located in this zone.
