Develop environment designations. Develop environment designations that are appropriate to current waterfront conditions per the findings of the shoreline inventory and characterization. Shoreline environment designations may be comprised of those recommended in the guidelines; the existing local SMP; unique, locally developed environments; or any combination of these, so long as they are consistent with WAC 000-00-000 environment designation criteria. Prepare draft maps illustrating the land and water area contained within mapped shoreline designation boundaries together with justification and rationale for the proposed designations. Boundaries of shoreline environment designations shall be clearly mapped. Optional shoreline jurisdiction areas, including entire floodplains and buffers for critical areas, should be mapped and designated if they are included within shoreline jurisdiction. A map clearly illustrating existing designations compared to proposed designations should be prepared. A narrative rationale describing reasons for maintaining or changing the designations shall be included. Task 3.4: Develop environment-specific shoreline use & modification policies, regulations and standards Prepare draft policies and regulations for environment designations, all uses discussed in the SMP Guidelines, and shoreline modifications. The draft policies and regulations for shoreline environment designations shall, at a minimum, identify: • Shoreline use and modification activity goals and policies. • Shoreline uses and modifications that are prohibited and allowed by Substantial Development Permit or Conditional Use Permit. • Bulk dimensional standards (buffers, setback, density, etc). • Shoreline modification activity standards. • Any local policies or regulations adopted by reference, if relied upon to satisfy SMA or guidelines requirements. Optional SMP components may include: • Shoreline use and dimensional standards listed in matrices, by environment designation. (Strongly encouraged.) Task 3.5 Develop SMP administrative provisions Prepare draft provisions for SMP administration, including necessary elements and timelines for permit administration, compliance, and enforcement. Statements about the role of Ecology in permit decisions should be included. A definitions section should be prepared. Definitions should be particular to SMP administration, consistent with the SMP’s implementing rules. Definitions should be clearly and concisely written. Optional SMP components may include additio...
