This chapter adapts the existing upland regulations for use with floating structures.
33.236.030 Houseboats
Houseboats and houseboat moorages are classified under the general use category of Household
Living. An individual houseboat outside of a houseboat moorage is considered a single-dwelling use
of the upland lot. A houseboat moorage is considered a multi-dwelling use. Generally, an individual
houseboat outside of a houseboat moorage is allowed only where a single dwelling use would be
allowed on the upland lot, and a houseboat moorage is allowed only where a multi-dwelling use is
allowed on the upland lot.
In the I zones, houseboats and houseboat moorages are a conditional use.
