Shoreline Conditional/Administrative-Conditional Use
The purpose of Shoreline Conditional Use, and Administrative Conditional Use, Permits is to allow flexibility in the application of development regulations in a manner consistent with the policies of the Shoreline Management Act (Act). Conditions may be attached to the permit to prevent undesirable effects of the proposal or to assure consistency of the project with the Act and the Master Program.
