The Seaport land use classification includes port, harbor, wharves, docks and associated land areas to accommodate delivery or embarkation of materials, equipment or people via access to the mainland through means of sea going vessels. Land areas contiguous to wharves and docks that are used for the staging, off-loading, transfer and storage / processing of materials, equipment or people are also classified as Seaport land use. Existing Seaport use includes waterside facilities adjacent to the existing turning basin near the Vehicle Assemble Building. The turn basin was originally built to allow barges to off load rocket vehicle stages where they were then rolled into the Vehicle Assembly Building for processing and stacking. The turning basin was also used to receive and off load Space Shuttle’s external tank.
