  • Findings and Conclusions Comprehensive Update to the Pierce County Shoreline Master Program
    ATTACHMENT A: FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE TO THE PIERCE COUNTY SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM SMP Submittal accepted December 18, 2015 - Ordinance No. 2013-45s4 Prepared by Kim Van Zwalenburg on May 7, 2018 INTRODUCTION Ecology’s Findings and Conclusions (Attachment A), including reference to Attachment B (Required Changes) and Attachment C (Recommended Changes), provide the factual basis for the Department of Ecology’s (Ecology) decision on the Pierce County (County) comprehensively updated Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The document is divided into three sections providing an Introduction; Findings of Fact regarding the submittal, amendment history, and local and state review; and Conclusions. Description of Proposed Amendment Pierce County has submitted a comprehensive update to their Shoreline Master Program (SMP) for review and approval by Ecology. The updated master program will regulate approximately 225 miles of marine shoreline and 880 miles of freshwater shoreline throughout the unincorporated areas of the County. It contains locally tailored shoreline management policies, regulations, environment designations, a designation map folio and administrative provisions, as well as Title 18E Pierce County Code (PCC) Development Regulations - Critical Areas adopted by reference as part of the SMP. Additional reports and supporting information and analyses were included in the County’s submittal and, as noted below, have been considered by Ecology during its review. In addition, because of the lengthy process at both the local and state levels to conclude the comprehensive update, the statutory periodic review deadline is nearing. Pierce County is required on or before June 30, 2019, and every eight years thereafter, to review and, if necessary, revise their master program.
