. CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan <br /> Policies: <br /> 1. Existing RS District controls on development and land use will be <br /> strictly enforced, and reinforced where necessary, to avoid potential <br /> problems related to sanitation, public safety and security, fire protection, <br /> etc. <br /> 2. The City will encourage private landowners of island properties to <br /> protect their shorelines from erosion. Natural rock rip-rap and other <br /> natural methods will be encouraged.
