Council Committee of the Whole Meeting on Ecology Required and
Recommended Revisions to City Adopted Shoreline Master Program
Should the City adopt new ordinances incorporating the Department of Ecology required and
some recommended changes to the Shoreline Master Program as well as housekeeping items
that fall within the scope of the Ecology required or recommended changes?
BACKGROUND
Adoption of a local jurisdiction's shoreline master program is a joint effort between that
jurisdiction and the Washington Department of Ecology (DOE). After a multi -year process, the
Tukwila City Council adopted a new Shoreline Master Program (SMP) on December 14, 2009.
The SMP was then submitted to the Department of Ecology for its review and approval on
January 22, 2010.
The Department of Ecology conducted its own review process on the City's SMP and then
notified the City of required and recommended changes to the SMP in order to receive state
approval. These changes are generally technical in nature. The City Council held a work
session on May 11, 2011 to review the required and recommended changes.
A public hearing was opened on June 27, 2011 and closed on July 25, 2011 on four draft
ordinances that would incorporate the Ecology required and some recommended changes. The
required and recommended changes are the same changes that were reflected in the materials
the Council received for the May 11, 2011 work session.
Staff identified a group of housekeeping corrections to the Shoreline Master Program since
receiving the Ecology required and recommended changes to the SMP typographical errors
as well as some required changes from Ecology that need clarifying or modification. This
housekeeping list was provided to the Council in its July 25, 2011 packet. After the close of the
public hearing on July 25 staff was directed to work with Ecology staff to identify which of the
housekeeping items are within the scope of the changes required by Ecology and provide that
information for the August 8, 2011 meeting. Ecology staff indicated that housekeeping changes
that are related to an Ecology required or recommended change would be reviewed more
quickly than those changes that are outside the scope, such as revisions to shoreline buffer
widths or changes to the nonconforming provisions of the SMP.

DISCUSSION
After review of the revised housekeeping changes list, the Council has several options:
1. Adopt four ordinances to incorporate only those Ecology required and recommended
changes that have been discussed to -date and re -visit the SMP in one year to make
housekeeping changes and to consider other changes to the SMP. This option involves
no additional Ecology review time.
2. Adopt four ordinances to incorporate not only the Ecology required and recommended
changes, but also the housekeeping items that fall within the scope of these
required /recommended changes. This option involves additional Ecology review time,
however Ecology staff have committed to review the revisions as quickly as possible.
3. Make additional revisions to the four ordinances that go beyond the Ecology required
and recommended changes and housekeeping items that are beyond the scope of the
Ecology required /recommended changes. This option will require substantial additional
Ecology review time and will trigger a new review of the SMP to ensure there is no net
loss of shoreline ecological function by the proposed changes.
As stated by the representative from the Department of Ecology at the July 25, 2011 hearing,
any revisions to the Ecology required and recommended changes will necessitate another
round of review by Ecology. How long this review takes depends on the scope of the changes
approved by the Council.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends moving the four new ordinances (Option #2 above), revised in strike through
underline format, to reflect the housekeeping changes that are within the scope of Ecology's
required and recommended changes to the August 15, 2011 Regular meeting for adoption.
ATTACHMENTS

maps at the meeting.)
