3. 2021Shoreline Master Program Periodic Update
Community Development Director Bond introduced Kari Sallee, Long Range Associate Planner for the
City. He said she has taken a leadership role in this project. Our tentative schedule right now on
completing the Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Update is to bring this to Council at the first meeting
in March for a preliminary adoption. The SMP will then need to go to the Department of Ecology for
approval, and then back to Council in June for final adoption.
Long Range Associate Planner Sallee noted their department has been working on this for about a
year and a half. This draft update has been to the Land Use Committee and the Planning Commission
for a public hearing. This is a required update to our SMP every eight years. A comprehensive re-
write of this was completed in 2013.
Ms. Sallee spoke to the updates which included cost thresholds for permits, making sure the SMP is
consistent with the City's internal plans, codes and policies, making the SMP more user friendly, sea
level rise, downtown parking, flood hazards, revisions to shoreline and land use tables,
transportation facilities, view restrictions, parking structures, shoreline exemptions and public
noticing regarding the update.
