Des Moines Shoreline Master Program 5.3 Shoreline Residential Environment 5.3.1 Purpose The purpose of the “shoreline residential” environment is to accommodate residential development and associated structures that are consistent with the SMA and the protection and restoration of ecological functions. 5.3.2 Management Policies 1. Densities or minimum frontage width standards in the “Shoreline Residential” environment should be set to protect shoreline ecological functions, taking into account the environmental limitations and sensitivity of the shoreline area, the level of infrastructure and services available, and other comprehensive planning considerations. 2. Create development standards for setbacks, buffers, shoreline stabilization, vegetation conservation and enhancement, critical areas protection, and water quality to assure no net loss of shoreline ecological functions, and contribute to the restoration of ecological functions over time in areas where ecological degradation has occurred. 3. Multifamily and multi-lot residential and recreational developments should provide public access and joint use for community recreational facilities. 4. Access, utilities, and public services should be available and adequate to serve existing needs and/or planned future development. 5. Construction of structural shoreline stabilization should be allowed, provided it is designed so it will not result in eventual damage to neighboring properties or ecological functions. New developments should be designed to preclude the need for such works and should be compatible with shoreline characteristics and limitations. 5.3.3 Designation Criteria The “Shoreline Residential” environment designation is appropriate for those areas of the City’s shoreline that are predominantly single-family or multifamily residential development or are planned and platted for residential development. 5.3.4 Boundary Description 1. The limits of shoreline jurisdiction from the south bank of Massey Creek to the northern limits of Saltwater State Park as shown on Figure 5-1, representing the official Des Moines SMP map. This area generally coincides with the Zenith neighborhood. 2. The limits of shoreline jurisdiction from the southern limits of Saltwater State Park to South 282nd Street as shown on Figure 5-1, representing the official Des Moines SMP map. This area generally coincides with the Woodmont neighborhood. 3. The limits of shoreline jurisdiction from South 283rd Street to the southern city limits as shown on Figure 5-1, representing the official Des Moines SMP map. This area generally coincides with the Redondo neighborhood. Department of Ecology approval effective November 1, 2010 58 Adopted by City of Des Moines Ordinance No. 1502
Des Moines Shoreline Master Program 5.4 Aquatic Environment 5.4.1 Purpose The purpose of the “aquatic” environment is to protect, restore, and manage the unique characteristics and resources of the areas waterward of the ordinary high-water mark. 5.4.2 Management Policies 1. Allow new or expansion of existing overwater structures for water dependent, public access, transportation, or ecological restoration only and only when abutting or associated with upland areas designated High Intensity. 2. The size of new over-water structures should be limited to the minimum necessary to support the structure's intended use. 3. Shoreline uses and modifications should be designed and managed to prevent degradation of water quality and alteration of natural hydrographic conditions. 4. In order to reduce the impacts of shoreline development and increase effective use of water resources, multiple uses of over-water facilities should be encouraged. 5. All developments and uses on navigable waters or their beds should be located and designed to minimize interference with surface navigation, to consider impacts to public views, and to allow for the safe, unobstructed passage of fish and wildlife, particularly those species dependent on migration. 6. Uses that adversely impact the ecological functions of critical saltwater and freshwater habitats should not be allowed except where necessary to achieve the objectives of RCW 90.58.020, and then only when their impacts are mitigated according to the sequence described in WAC 173-26-201 (2)(e) as necessary to assure no net loss of ecological functions. 5.4.3 Designation Criteria The “aquatic” environment designation is appropriate for all lands waterward of the marine ordinary high-water mark in the City of Des Moines, with the exception of areas inside the Des Moines Marina breakwater and areas associated with the Redondo High-Intensity waterfront. 5.4.4 Boundary Description All intertidal or subtidal lands within the City of Des Moines city limits, waterward of the ordinary high-water mark, with the exception of areas inside the Des Moines Marina breakwater and areas associated with the Redondo High-Intensity waterfront as shown on Figure 5-1, representing the official Des Moines SMP map.
