Page 10 of 27  Challenges Update of Ocean Shores, Washington Zoning and Municipal Code • History of “Pyramid Zoning” has resulted in many areas of uncontrolled poten�ally incompa�ble mixed uses, e.g. o Residen�al in business (B-1)/commercial (industrial - B-2) o “Heavier” commercial industrial in or near downtown corridor • Desire for transient lodging development is/has overcoming available parcels for future business/commercial (industrial) • Lack of available parcels for dedicated, larger scale future commercial development (e.g. Walmart, grocery chain). • Con�nued growth of wetland encroachment and encumbering of undeveloped parcels, poten�al diminishing future mi�ga�on bank possibili�es. • Outdated parking rules potentially restricting commercial development As of 09/26/2023 4.
