Description: Last updated on 7/29/2019 by KAH.Shoreline Master Program Designations for Thurston County effective May 15, 1990.The Shoreline Master Program requirement, including subsequent amendments, is a result of the Shoreline Management Act (SMA). The Shoreline Management Act of 1971, Chapter 90.58 Revised Code of Washington (RCW) was adopted by the citizens of Washington in 1972. The overall goal of the SMA is to “prevent the inherent harm in an uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the state’s shorelines.” This act is designed to provide for three broad polices: (1) protect shoreline natural resources and ecological functions, (2) reserve shorelines for water dependent and associated water-related uses, and (3) promote public access.Local SMPs are adopted under guidelines established by Ecology, as defined in WAC 173-26. These guidelines allow local planners to tailor SMP goals, policies, standards and regulations to the specific needs of individual communities. In addition, the SMP is also meant to be used to provide comprehensive planning for the County’s shoreline area (RCW 90.58.030(3)(b)).Master programs must contain a system to classify shoreline areas into specific environment designations. The classification system must be based on the existing use pattern, the biological and physical character of the shoreline, and the goals and aspirations of the community as expressed through comprehensive plans as well as the criteria in this section [WAC 173-26-211 (2)(a)]. Environment designation assignment to shoreline reaches must assure the protection of existing shoreline ecological functions with the proposed pattern and intensity of development as well as be consistent with policies for restoration of degraded shorelines [WAC 173-26-211 (4) (b)].Future development located within shoreline jurisdiction needs to be consistent with the rules and policies within the shoreline environment designation, as well as local government zoning and critical area regulations. Ecology guidelines require critical area protection within shoreline jurisdiction to be - at a minimum - equal to the protection provided under the currently adopted local critical area ordinance WAC 173-26-221(2)(b)(ii),(iii) and (c) and provide for “no-net-loss” of ecological function.This layer is used as a screening tool and the information is based upon the Shoreline Master Program for the Thurston Region Effective May 15, 1990. Layer Schema was updated in 2019 to allow for changes to the layer based upon changes to the Shoreline Master Plan to incorporate updates/fixes as well as changes that have been approved by Ecology over time. This schema change allows for the tracking of "historic" polygons which are shown in the Feature Class and not carried through to the shapefile. Details about the nature of the historic change are included. When using this layer it is important to use the filter Historic = "No" in mapping and analysis.
