A. This chapter establishes an administrative system to assign responsibilities for review of shoreline development permits, to prescribe the processes by which all shoreline permit applications shall be reviewed, public notice provided, and to ensure that all such shoreline permit applications are dealt with in a predictable and equitable manner.

B. Multiple Shoreline Permits. This Shoreline Master Program establishes use regulations (permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited uses); permit procedures for various levels of development (permit exemptions, and substantial development permits), and procedures for variances. In circumstances where both a conditional use permit and a substantial development permit are both required, the applicant shall submit both permits requests simultaneously. Requests for variances shall also be processed simultaneously with other shoreline permits.

C. All proposed uses and development occurring within shoreline jurisdiction must conform to Chapter 90.58 RCW, the Shoreline Management Act and this master program whether or not a permit is required.

D. Administrative provisions must ensure permit procedures and enforcement are conducted in a manner consistent with relevant constitutional limitations on regulation of private property.

E. Specific uses and development that require a shoreline conditional use permit (CUP) must be identified. Standards for reviewing CUPs and variances conform to WAC 173-27. (Ord. 2838 § 1 (Att. A), 2010)
