1The determination of whether a permitted use requires a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit or is exempt from a permit depends on whether the specific proposal meets the criteria for a shoreline exemption as identified in Subsection 16.55.160(3) and WAC 173-27-040. This determination is made by the Shoreline Administrator as outlined in Subsection 16.55.120(1).

2Note: Sites “separated from shoreline” are those sites physically separated from the shoreline by another property or public right of way.

3Any disposal of dredge material within a channel migration zone requires a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit. A SCUP is not required for discharges of dredge material into the flowing current of a river or in deep water within the channel where it does not substantially affect the geo-hydrologic character of the channel migration zone.

4Parking as a primary use is prohibited in all designations per WAC 173-26-241(3)(k)).

(Ord. 16-3 §33, 2016).
