— from San Juan County Communications —

The County is beginning a periodic review of its Shoreline Master Program (SMP) as required by WAC 173-26-090.  This update is intended to assure consistency of the  SMP with the SJC Comprehensive Plan, development regulations and other local requirements. It will:

  • Bring the SJC SMP into compliance with the requirements of the Shoreline Management Act that have been added or changed since the last review;
  • Respond to changes in Ecology’s guidelines;
  • Ensure consistency with comprehensive plans and regulations; and
  • Incorporate amendments to reflect changed circumstances, new information, or improved data.
