These standards contain <br />differences from those developed in 1986, namely: <br />a. Distance for c/t parking spaces extended from <br />1,500' to 2,000' from access point, with <br />requirement that a temporary boat mooring <br />facility (make-ready dock) be provided for a <br />number of boats equal to 10% of the parking <br />spaces beyond 1,500'. <br />Providing 700 c/t parking spaces on weekends <br />and holidays from Memorial Day to Laborday with <br />at least 50% of c/t parking spaces available <br />weekdays.
