    (a) Consistent with the objectives set out in section 5 of the Act 
of August 7, 1961 (75 Stat. 284), development and management of the Cape 
Cod National Seashore will be conducted in a manner which will assure 
the widest possible public use, understanding and enjoyment of its 
natural, cultural and scientific features. The regulations in this part 
are designed and promulgated to establish minimum standards which local 
zoning bylaws must meet in furtherance of those purposes.
    (b) The standards hereby established for approval of zoning bylaws 
or amendments of zoning bylaws--are intended: (1) To contribute to the 
effect of prohibiting the commercial and industrial use, other than 
existing commercial or industrial use not inconsistent with the purposes 
of the Act of August 7, 1961 (75 Stat. 284, 291), of all property within 
the boundaries of the Cape Cod National Seashore and situated in the 
towns of Provincetown, Truro, Wellfleet, Eastham, Orleans and Chatham; 
and (2) to promote preservation and development, in accordance with the 
purposes of the said Act, of the area comprising the seashore, by means 
of acreage, frontage and setback requirements and other provisions which 
may be required to be included in zoning bylaws consistent with the laws 
of Massachusetts. Zoning bylaws or amendments of zoning bylaws 
applicable to the area within Cape Cod National Seashore, in order that 
they may be approved, shall conform to the standards herein set forth 
relating to preservation and development of the seashore in accordance 
with the purposes of the said Act. The Secretary shall be given notice 
of any amendments to approved zoning bylaws that affect the Seashore 
District. Nothing in these standards or in the zoning bylaws adopted 
pursuant thereto for the area within Cape Cod National Seashore shall 
preclude the Secretary of the Interior from fulfilling the 
responsibilities vested in him by the Act of August 7, 1961, or by the 
Act of August 25, 1916 (39 Stat. 535), as amended and supplemented.
    (c) Wherever the term ``improved property'' is used in this part it 
shall mean a detached, one-family dwelling, the land on which it is 
situated, and accessory structures, and as further defined in section 
4(d) of the Act of August 7, 1961 (75 Stat. 284).
