COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Council Initiative: Provide sustainable water quality & environmental infrastructure
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: N/A
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
On January 22, 2015, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2136. This resolution authorized the Community Development Director to submit the Longview Shoreline Master Program (SMP) to the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) for their review and approval. In a letter dated July 27, 2015 to David Campbell, Ecology announced that they approved the Shoreline Master Program update. The letter is attached.
Ecology approved the SMP without requiring any modifications. Thus, the City can approve the SMP as is. However, Ecology recommended four changes. Three are for clarity purposes only (modifications to the table of contents, minor wording changes to the introduction section, and creating an Appendix B where the shoreline maps would be found).
The fourth recommendation is to update the wetland rating standard | approved | Pass |
