(3)   Nothing in this Section shall be intended to prevent beneficial projects whose primary purpose is protection of resource areas and reduction of risk from coastal flooding, inland flooding, extreme weather, sea level rise and other adverse impacts of climate change. The Commission may enact guidelines, performance standards and implementing regulations specific to beneficial projects identified through the Climate Ready Boston process or equivalent or successor initiatives to advance and expedite such beneficial projects. The Conservation Commission may issue an order of conditions for district scale flood resiliency and flood protection projects where such projects require fill, including coastal fill above and seaward of existing seawalls only when necessary for flood protection; provided that the Commission finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the project will protect and improve coastal, riparian or aquatic habit over current and projected conditions, including, but not limited to, change from vertical seawall to intertidal habitat.
