17.150.014 Shoreline residential.
(1) Purpose. The purpose of the shoreline residential designation is for areas which are primarily residential or intended for single-family or multifamily residential use. These areas are to maintain existing character and be consistent with that character in terms of open space, bulk, scale, and intensity of use within the guidelines of current zoning. An additional purpose is to provide appropriate public access and recreational uses.
(2) Designation Criteria. The shoreline single-family residential environment designation is appropriate for those areas of the city’s shorelines that are designated in the Comprehensive Plan and characterized predominantly by single-family residential development or are planned or platted for single-family residential development.
The location of the shoreline residential overlay is as a parallel designation on Church Creek landward of the urban conservancy designation described below.
(3) Management Policies. The following management policies should apply to all shorelines in the shoreline residential environment:
(a) Standards for density or minimum frontage width, setbacks, lot coverage limitations, buffers, shoreline stabilization, vegetation conservation, critical area protection, and water quality shall be set to maintain no net loss of shoreline ecological functions.
(b) New residential developments should provide public access and joint use community recreational facilities where appropriate.
(c) Access, utilities, and public services should be available and adequate to serve existing needs and/or planned future development. (Ord. 1373 § 46, 2014).
