Abstract:

The City of East Providence evaluated the effectiveness of the City's 30 year old zoning code and revised performance standards in the zoning text in light of possible marine terminal development on the Providence River. This paper summarizes the environmental impacts of typical port operations, and presents the proposed revisions to the City's zoning code.
