(1) Any shoreline permit issued under the terms of this Master Program may be rescinded or suspended upon a finding that a permittee has not complied with conditions of the permit.

(2) Such rescission and/or modification of an issued permit shall be initiated by serving written notice of noncompliance on the permittee, which shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address listed on the application or to such other address as the applicant or permittee may have advised the city; or such notice may be served on the applicant or permittee in person or his agent in the same manner as service of summons as provided by law.

(3) Before any such permit can be rescinded, a public hearing shall be held by the hearing examiner. Notice of the public hearing shall be made in accordance with SMC 17.80.370(2). The decision of the hearing examiner shall be the final decision of the city on all rescinded applications. A written decision shall be transmitted to the Department of Ecology, the Attorney General’s office, the applicant, and such other departments or boards of the city as are affected thereby and the legislative body of the city.

(4) The Department of Ecology may petition the shoreline hearings board for a rescission of the permit if Ecology is of the opinion that the noncompliance continues to exist 30 days after the date of the notice, and the local government has taken no action to rescind the permit, as provided by RCW 90.58.140(8). (Ord. 1419 § 14, 2016; Ord. 1373 § 46, 2014).
