Desicnatien Criteria The Urban Environment is an area of high -intensity land use. This environment does not necessarily include all shorelines within an incorporated city, but is particularly suitable to those areas presently subjected to extremely intensive -use pressure, as well as to areas planned to acceamcdate urban expansion. Shoreline areas to be desig- nated in the Urban Environment should possess one or more of the following criteria: 1. Areas cf high -intensity land use including recreation, residential, public facility, commercial, industrial development and intensive port activities. Z. :areas designated in the adopted plans of public agencies for expan- sion of urban uses. 3. Areas posaossing few biophysical limitations for urban development. 4. Areas which can provide the necessary infrastructure of public services, utilities and access to accommodate urban development. Management Policies 1. Because shorelines suitable for urban uses are a limited resource, emphasis should be given to directing new development into already developed., but underutilized areas. 2. Give priority in Urban Environments to water dependent, industrial and commercial uses requiring frontage en navigable waters. 3. give priority to planning for and developing public visual and physical access to the shoreline in the Urban Environment.
