Shoreline Master Program Update
February 24, 2010
![Page 2: Shoreline Master Program Update. Shoreline Management Act approved by voters in the early 1970’s to: – Encourage water-dependent uses – Protect shoreline.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649c905503460f94949b24/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Why Plan for Shorelines?
• Shoreline Management Act approved by voters in the early 1970’s to:– Encourage water-dependent uses– Protect shoreline natural resources– Promote public access
• Cities and counties must adoptlocal ‘Shoreline Master Programs’– Consistent with statute and administrative rules
• New shoreline guidelines adopted in 2003– Establishes scope for SMP update
![Page 3: Shoreline Master Program Update. Shoreline Management Act approved by voters in the early 1970’s to: – Encourage water-dependent uses – Protect shoreline.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649c905503460f94949b24/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Existing Plans
• Thurston Region SMP– First adopted in 1976– Multiple updates
• Special Area ManagementPlans – Percival Creek -- 1990 – Urban Waterfront -- 1993

What’s Happening?
• 2007 – State funding for joint planning effort for Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater – Coordinated by Thurston Regional Planning Council (TRPC)– Technical advisory group
• 2007 – 2009 activities – Inventory and characterization– Shoreline designations– Cumulative impact analysis– Develop restoration and public access plans– Public outreach – Develop draft policies and regulations
• Cities and counties must update their Shoreline Master Programs

• July 2009 – Model SMP handed over to cities– Serves as a starting point for Olympia’s
update – Will be refined to address issues that
are unique to Olympia
• September 2010 – Goal for City Council adoption

Key Issues in SMP Update
• No net loss • Restoration• Sea Level Rise• Building heights • Bulkheads• Park and trail uses• Nonconforming uses/structures• Integration of Percival and Urban Waterfront Plans• Integration with Comprehensive Plan update• Critical Area Regulations within shorelines• Coordination with other jurisdictions• Tribal interests• Port uses

Shoreline Designations
• Purpose– Encourage uses that protect or enhance the
current or desired character of the shoreline.
• Ecology established new designations:– Aquatic– Natural– Urban Conservancy– Shoreline Residential– High Intensity
• TRPC-proposed designations…..
![Page 11: Shoreline Master Program Update. Shoreline Management Act approved by voters in the early 1970’s to: – Encourage water-dependent uses – Protect shoreline.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649c905503460f94949b24/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Aquatic – Waterward of ordinary high water mark– Protect, restore, and manage aquatic areas
Shoreline Designations – Criteria/Purpose
![Page 12: Shoreline Master Program Update. Shoreline Management Act approved by voters in the early 1970’s to: – Encourage water-dependent uses – Protect shoreline.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649c905503460f94949b24/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Shoreline Designations – Criteria/Purpose
• Natural– NRCA, federal, or state wildlife refuge, or unique environment retaining high quality and high value
habitat– Protect areas relatively
free of human influence– Permit only low intensity
uses
![Page 13: Shoreline Master Program Update. Shoreline Management Act approved by voters in the early 1970’s to: – Encourage water-dependent uses – Protect shoreline.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649c905503460f94949b24/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Urban Conservancy– Zoned for open space or has a high proportion of
undevelopable lands such as wetlands, steep slopes or large parks
– Protect and restore ecological functions in urban/developed settings while allowing
compatible uses

Thurston Regional Planning Council (TRPC) is an intergovernmental board made up of local government jurisdictions within Thurston County in Washington State. The Council develops regional plans and policies for transportation, growth management, environmental quality and other topics. TRPC also acts as a regional clearinghouse for planning and demographic information and data.
