U-12, right column, add the following section after the second paragraph:
Two environmental conditions are associated with the coastal bluffs which
discourage accessory, limited intensity activities. First, extreme geo-
logic conditions are present and have been noted by E.S.A. as posing a
hazard to even human passage (see Natural Environmental Section) . Second,
both vegetative and wildlife communities are dependent on the unaltered
state of the Coastal Bluff face (England and Nelson) . For this reason, the
City should limit this activity.
