7. LUPB Hearing– Shorline Master Program Update
Ms. Butsick introduced the Shorline Master Program update, including
where it’s regulations apply, and what activities it regulates. The goal is to
achieve no net loss of shoreline ecological function over time. The City of
Kent’s SMP is currently under review, as is required every 8 y e a r s .
Periodic review is to ensure the SMP’s consistency with policy and
legislative changes that have occurred since the previous update.
Proposed changes include:
• References to the critical areas ordinance.
• Streamlined wording to simplify the text.
• Exemption language for activities that do not require local review.
• Minor changes to requirements for native plants.
• Removed references to the Panther Lake Annexation, as it is now fully
integrated as a part of the City of Kent.
• Updates to shoreline environment designations to address mapping error.
