Des Moines Shoreline Master Program 1.1 Purpose and Responsibility CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION Washington’s Shoreline Management Act (SMA) (Chapter 90.58 RCW, the Shoreline Management Act of 1971) was passed by the State Legislature in 1971 and adopted by the public in a referendum. The Act was created in response to a growing concern among residents of the state that serious and permanent damage was being done to shorelines by unplanned and uncoordinated development. The goal of the Act was "to prevent the inherent harm in an uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the state's shorelines." While protecting shoreline resources by regulating development, the Act is also intended to provide for appropriate shoreline growth by encouraging land uses that enhance and conserve shorelines functions and values. The SMA established a cooperative program of shoreline management between local government and the state. Local governments have the primary responsibility for initiating the planning and administration of the local Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The Department of Ecology is responsible for supporting and assisting local governments and insuring compliance with the SMA and its provisions, primarily WAC Sections 173-26 – State Master Program Approval/Amendment Procedures and Master Program Guidelines and 173-27- Shoreline Management Permit and Enforcement Procedures. The SMP is a comprehensive use plan for local shoreline areas that includes desired goals and policies consistent with SMA policy (RCW 90.58.020); maps, diagrams and charts or other descriptive material and text; use and development regulations; and administrative procedures for the shoreline permitting process. The Ecology SMP guidelines (WAC 173-26) establish general goals and policies, and standards and criteria for regulations. The SMP is based on State guidelines, but tailored to the specific conditions and needs of individual communities. The SMP is also meant to be a comprehensive vision of how the shoreline area will be used and developed over time. The City of Des Moines ("City") first adopted an SMP in 1972 and updated it in 1987 (adopted under Ordinance No. 715). In 1996 the City of Des Moines (Ordinance No. 1176) amended the City’s Comprehensive Plan to include the Woodmont/Redondo annexation area (i.e., from Saltwater State Park south to the current city boundary adjacent to the City of Federal Way). On January 17, 2004, Ecology adopted new SMP guidelines (WAC 173-26), which required revision of several provisions contained in the 1988 City of Des Moines SMP. According to Substitute Senate Bill (SSB) 6012, passed by the 2003 Washington State Legislature, cities within King County were required to amend their local SMPs consistent with Ecology’s revised guidelines. The required update process also provided the City with an opportunity to incorporate the changes in the City’s physical shoreline conditions (including annexations) and integrate current technical and scientific information into the SMP. The current SMP was adopted locally on October 15, 1987 by Ordinance No. 715 and adopted by Ecology on March 1, 1988. The goals and policies contained therein were incorporated into Department of Ecology approval effective November 1, 2010 Adopted by City of Des Moines Ordinance No. 1502 1
