The County’s proposed SMP amendment will be reviewed against the requirements of the Shoreline Management Act and the Shoreline Master Program guidelines. Based on our review, we will decide whether to:
- Approve the SMP as is.
- Approve the SMP with recommended changes.
- Send the proposed SMP back to the County with required changes to meet statutory and rule requirements. Recommended changes may also be included with the required changes.
