The shoreline work may proceed after the April 16 effective date, subject to advance notice and restoration requirements. The shorter, lower-profile groin is intended to improve public safety and navigation while protecting shoreline infrastructure. The proposed zoning reorganization would place existing rules into a searchable format and integrate stormwater and erosion-control provisions without changing their substance. The Commission also discussed preparing rules for new residential development requirements taking effect July 1, 2026, but did not adopt those rules at this meeting.
