In making that determination, the Commissioner shall consider (i) the factors set out in subsection A of § 28.2-1205 and (ii) the public benefits and impacts of shellfish aquaculture.
2. All fees and costs and the annual rent have been paid for the lease of the ground. The ground shall be marked at the expense of the applicant.
