| environmental analysis | Determines the environmental risk posed by existing development and whether or not it should be revitalized |
| community involvement | includes education, environmental monitoring, and visioning |
| remediation plan | explains the process for cleaning up high toxicity levels |
| conceptual framework plan | explains the overarching plan for the waterfront, and relies on previous studies. Allocates investment, facilitates appropriate water uses, and joins new waterfront development with existing urban and rural development. |
| detailed plan | lays out the specific plan for the waterfront, including new uses, reinterpreted uses, and new places and destinations |

| ocean and bay waterfronts | should utilize piers for recreational uses. These uses should smoothly and safely connect the ocean to the urban business and residential landscape |
| lake and reservoir waterfronts | should encourage water sports as well as shoreline recreation and activities |
| Design Strategies for Waterfront Planning | Continuity, Sequence, Variety, Connection |
| Continuity | provides a continuous system along the waterfront for purposes of walking, biking, jogging, and similar activities |
| Sequence | places open spaces sequentially along the waterfront. these spaces are often aligned with major roadways or unique views. |
| Variety | incorporates multiple land uses along the waterways. These uses should be compatible, and satisfy the needs of different users. |
| Connection | provides visual and physical connection between the waterfront, the bay, and the city |

| Open Space | Plazas, parks, piers |
| Sustainability | ecological preservation and ecological design. Ensures watershed and habitats are protected and maintained. Encourages water uses that preserve and restore the natural ecology. Wetland restoration, preservation of natural vegetation and storm water mngmt |
| Connections | Paths, promenades, tourism-oriented water connection (ferries, water taxis, etc), transportation-oriented water connections |
