FROM: Jack Pace, Director, Department of Community Developme,
DATE: March 18, 2009
SUBJECT: Planning Commission Recommended Shoreline Master Program
ISSUE
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The City Council, sitting as the Committee of the Whole will begin review on March 23, 2009 of
the Planning Commission Recommended Shoreline Master Program (SMP).
BACKGROUND
Review of the Draft Shoreline Master Program Update began on July 24, 2008 with a joint City
Council /Planning Commission briefing on the major aspects of the proposed program. The
Planning Commission then met over the next six months during which it reviewed the document
in detail, held three Open Houses and conducted a public hearing on August 2, 2008 that was
continued to October 9, 2008 to allow additional time for public review and comment of the
document. The Planning Commission met on December 10 and 11, 2008 and January 15,
2009 to make decisions on revisions to the draft document and on February 5, 2009 approved a
Shoreline Master Program to forward to the Council for its review.
DISCUSSION
I wanted to provide you with brief summary of where we've been and what lies
ahead with the review process:
We continue to work with Department of Ecology staff on issues related to
the SMP, including permitted uses in the shoreline environment, shoreline
restoration and public access.
Public testimony identified a number of issues such as public access
requirements, buffer widths, nonconforming uses and structures. Many of these
have been addressed through Planning Commission approved revisions to the
staff draft document, although not all property owners agreed that the revisions
fully addressed their concerns.
After Council adoption, the SMP must be reviewed and approved by the
Department of Ecology. It may be that Ecology will disagree with certain aspects
of our program and request revisions in order to receive Ecology approval. We
will do our best to identify those issues ahead of time so that the Council can
decide whether to modify the Planning Commission approved document before
adopting and sending it to Ecology.
