(1) Purpose. The purpose of the “shoreline isolated lands” overlay is to provide appropriate regulations for areas that are within shoreline jurisdiction but are effectively isolated from the water by intervening elements of the built environment including railroads and roads or intervening private parcels. In most cases, these areas function as parallel designations with other designations applied to the area adjacent to the water.

(2) Designation Criteria. The shoreline isolated lands overlay should be applied to areas within shoreline jurisdiction that are effectively isolated from the water by intervening elements of the built environment that are of such a scale and location that they effectively preclude this area from affecting shoreline ecological processes or shoreline economic, recreation or other activities. The elements that isolate these lands include large-scale railroads and roads or intervening private parcels that are located and constructed such that the upland within this area cannot inherently affect the shoreline.

Shoreline isolated overlay lands are proposed in Reach A extending landward of the railroad spur over parcels addressed as 10602 Saratoga Drive and 10520 Saratoga Drive.

(3) Management Policies. These areas are subject to upland zoning requirements and are not subject to use regulations of SMC 17.150.029. (Ord. 1373 § 46, 2014).
