Potential projects the draft mentions are camping and picnic areas, short-term lodging facilities, curio shops, gas and service stations, boat launch ramps, golf courses and horse stables and arenas. Other facilities with similar uses will also be considered by recommendation of the Planning Commission.

Included in the discussion was private landowner Ruben Adam's proposal for the development of his property, part of which is located on what could become the resort zone.

His proposal includes a high-security storage area for boats, complete with heated units, valet service to the boat ramps and cleaning service afterwards. Also included in his proposal was a timeshare lodge facility and a small commercial zone with a convenience store, fast food restaurant and a boat-rental facility.

Adams said he would raise the level of the property to lift it out of the flood zone, in addition to building a protective concrete wall on the property line.
