Kitsap County and Cities Discussion Meetings
Informational Briefing
OverviewOverviewOverviewOverview
All Kitsap Peninsula Cities & County required to update their Shoreline Management Master Programs (SMPs) by 2012.
Requirements of all SMP updates published in WAC; Department of Ecology is funding and oversight agency
County and City Planning Departments worked on areas of potential collaboration (January 15 with Planning Directors; Feb.5 and 20 “work group”)
Discussed issues and ideas with Ecology (present on all meeting dates)
IssuesIssues
• Kitsap County Jurisdictions required to update Shoreline Master Plans by 2011 (2012 extension)
• WAC has significant requirements for each jurisdiction, i.e.– Cumulative effects– Restoration requirements
• All jurisdictions are in same Puget Sound Partnership (PSP) Action Area, face same PSP goals and objectives
• Department of Ecology funding priorities– Regional approaches (preferred)– Individual jurisdictional approach
• Shoreline impacts do not stop at jurisdictional boundaries
ActionsActions to Date to Date• January – jurisdiction planning directors and technical staff met to
discuss potential regional approach– DOE present– City of Gig Harbor present– Result: Technical staff to meet to develop propose “work plan” and
areas of cooperation• January – Technical working group meets
– Result: need to brief jurisdictional leadership on status, efforts to date– Identified potential areas of collaboration
• February – Technical working group meets– Solidified areas all jurisdictions could work together on– Identified areas where two or more jurisdictions may collaborate, but
not all jurisdictions would be involved• February – Planning Directors meet
– Provided update of presentation to KRCC– Planning Directors have not formally met to discuss technical
advisory groups recommendations
Key Principles for CollaborationKey Principles for Collaboration
• Identify areas for collaboration based on DOE “rainbow” chart
• Establish common principles for shoreline designations• Consider common approaches for public
outreach/involvement• Each jurisdiction would develop implementing code• Each jurisdiction would adopt individual Shoreline
Master Plan• Resourcing this effort has not been decided at this
time

PROCESS HANDBOOK
SECTION SPECIFIC PLANNING TASKS PRODUCTS
Phase 1: Preliminary Shoreline Jurisdiction, Public Participation Plan & Shoreline Inventory
Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7
Task 1.1: Identify preliminary shoreline jurisdiction - shorelines & shorelands Task 1.2: Develop public participation program (citizen, technical, Ecology, other stakeholders) Task 1.3: Conduct shoreline inventory – existing land uses, public access, environmental conditions Task 1.4: Demonstrate how Phase 1 complies with Guidelines
Product 1.1: Preliminary map of local shorelines subject to the SMP Product 1.2: Public participation plan Product 1.3: Complete shoreline inventory Product 1.3.1: Draft list of inventory data sources Product 1.3.2: Digital working maps of inventory information Product 1.4 Documentation in SMP submittal checklist
Phase 2: Shoreline Analysis & Characterization
Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10
Task 2.1: Conduct analysis of the shoreline inventory Task 2.1.1: Characterize ecosystem-wide processes Task 2.1.2: Characterize shoreline functions; reach/drift cell analysis Task 2.1.3: Identify potential protection & restoration areas Task 2.2: Analyze shoreline use & public access Task 2.3: Summarize characterization & analyses findings & make recommendations Task 2.4: Demonstrate how Phase 2 complies with Guidelines
Product 2.1: Shoreline characterization, accompanying map portfolio & GIS data, including: Product 2.1.1: Characterization of ecosystem-wide processes Product 2.1.2: Characterization of shoreline functions, reach/drift cell analysis Product 2.1.3: Identification of potential protection/restoration areas Product 2.2: Shoreline use & public access analysis Product 2.3: Report with shoreline management recommendations from the characterization & analyses Product 2.4: Documentation in SMP submittal checklist
Phase 3: Shoreline Environment Designation, Policy & Regulation Development
Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15 Chapter 16
Task 3.1: Conduct a visioning process based on SMA policy & inventory/characterization Task 3.2: Develop general goals, policies & regulations Task 3.3: Develop environment designations & environment-specific policies & regulations Task 3.4: Develop shoreline use policies, regulations & standards Task 3.5 Develop shoreline modification activity policies, regulations & standards Task 3.6: Develop administration provisions Task 3.7: Demonstrate how Phase 3 complies with Guidelines
Product 3.1: Shoreline management strategy Product 3.2: Draft general goals, policies & regulations Product 3.3: Draft environment designations & environment-specific policies & regulations Product 3.4: Draft shoreline use policies, regulations & standards Product 3.5 Draft shoreline modification policies, regulations & standards Product 3.6: Draft administration provisions Product 3.7: Final report demonstrating how inventory & characterization are reflected in updated SMP policies, regulations, environment designations & restoration strategies; documentation in SMP submittal checklist
Phase 4: Cumulative Impacts Analysis & Restoration Plan; Revisiting Phase 3 Products as Necessary
Chapter 17 Chapter 18
Task 4.1: Prepare cumulative impacts analysis to determine whether proposed SMP provisions will achieve no net loss of ecological functions; adjust preliminary environment designations, policies & regulations based on analysis findings; finalize shoreline jurisdiction Task 4.2: Prepare restoration policies, objectives, priorities & timelines Task 4.3: Demonstrate how Phase 4 complies with Guidelines
Product 4.1: Cumulative impacts analysis report demonstrating how the proposed SMP will achieve no net loss through its environment designations, policies, regulations & mitigation standards; finalized shoreline jurisdiction, including map(s) Product 4.2: Final restoration plan Product 4.3: Documentation in SMP submittal checklist
Phase 5: Local Approval
Chapter 19
Task 5.1: Assemble complete draft SMP Task 5.2: Informal Ecology review of draft SMP documents Task 5.3: Complete SEPA review, documentation Task 5.4: Provide GMA 60-day notice of intent to adopt Task 5.5: Hold public hearing Task 5.6: Prepare responsiveness summary Task 5.7: Locally adopt the draft SMP & prepare submittal to Ecology Task 5.8: Demonstrate how Phase 5 complies with Guidelines
Product 5.1: Final draft SMP Product 5.2: Ecology response following informal review Product 5.3: SEPA products (checklist, MDNS,/EIS; SEPA notice) Product 5.4: Evidence of compliance with GMA notice requirements Product 5.5: Public hearing record Product 5.6: Responsiveness summary responding to comments received during public review period Product 5.7: Complete Ecology submittal package Product 5.8: Documentation in SMP submittal checklist
Phase 6: State Approval
Chapter 20
Task 6.1: Provide public notice & opportunity for comment; respond to comments received Task 6.2: Prepare decision packet to include: findings & conclusions; transmittal letter; conditions of approval (if any); & responsiveness summary Task 6.3: Work with local government to finalize local adoption
Product 6.1: Responsiveness summary Product 6.2: Decision package submitted to local government Product 6.3: Final SMP adoption incorporating any Ecology conditions of approval; SMP takes effect

GroupGroup
• Use and Follow DOE Rainbow Chart on the SMP planning process
• Work Together on agreed-upon Rainbow Chart items proposed by work group
• Evaluate and Coordinate throughout the process on emerging areas for joint cooperation, as appropriate
• Consult with Each other regularly throughout our shared update timelines
