The primary purpose of the Act is to provide for them an age me nt and protection of the state's shoreline resources by planning for reasonable and appropriate uses. The law provides a two-tier planning and regulatory program by the state and a erowervrtt,[7,e,_C;,%t„y,_a;('f?,a,r„t;V,aw,r7s,e,r7cl,. By law, the City is responsible for the following: A. Preparation of a "Master Program" in accordance with the policies and requirements of the Act and the State Shoreline Guidelines (WAC 173-26). B. Development of a permit system in accordance with the requirements of the Act. 1.2 Fhe City of Port Fown.send'.s Role in Implementing the Shoreline Management Act In order to protect the public interest in the preservation and reasonable use of the shorelines of the state, the Shoreline Management Act establishes a planning program coordinated between the state and local jurisdictions to address the types and effects of development occurring along the state's shorelines. By law, the City is responsible for the following: A. Development of an inventory of the natural characteristics and land use patterns along "shorelines of the state" within the City's territorial limits. This inventory provides the foundation for development of a system that classifies the shoreline into distinct "environments". These environments provide the framework for implementing shoreline policies and regulatory measures. B. Preparation of a "Shoreline Master Program" to determine the future of the shorelines. This future is defined through the goals developed for the following land and water use elements: economic development, public access, circulation, recreation, shoreline use, conservation, historical/cultural protection, and floodplain management. I:,e q;err7 Ci,t, is encouraged to adopt goals for any other elements, which, because of present uses or future needs, are deemed appropriate and necessary to implement the intent of the Shoreline Management Act. In addition, policy statements are developed to provide a bridge between the goals of the Master Program and the use activity regulations developed to address different types of development along the shoreline. Master Program regulations are developed and adopted, as appropriate, for various types of shoreline development, including the following: agriculture, aquaculture, forest management, commercial development, marinas, mining, outdoor advertising and signs, residential development, utilities, ports and water related industries, bulkheads, breakwaters, jetties and groins, 4'41s- i,[I, solid waste disposal, dredging, shoreline protection, road and railroad design, piers, and recreation.

The City of Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program must be consistent with the policies and requirements of the Shoreline Management Act and the State Shoreline Guidelines. The role of the Department of Ecology is to provide support and review of the Shoreline Master Program and subsequent shoreline development permits and approvals. 1.3 Purposes of the Shoreline Master Program The Shoreline Management Act defines a Master Program as a "comprehensive use plan for a described area." The shoreline planning process differs from the more traditional planning process in that the emphasis is on protecting the shoreline environment through management of uses. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) The purposes of this Master Program are: Page 7/267 A. To carry out the responsibilities imposed on the City of Port Townsend by the ` aAi4a Tarr- tote- e4orr�--- W Kw+grraerir Act (RCW 90.58). B. To promote uses and development of the Port Townsend shoreline consistent with the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan while protecting and restoring environmental resources. C. To promote the public health, safety, and general welfare by providing a guide and regulation for the future development of the shoreline resources of the City of Port Townsend. 1.4 Legislative Findings The legislative findings and policies of the Act, as set forth in RCW 90.58.020, are,,.J..r]..1,,e,rt,l,r7,e„r7t,,,1 ,r„t,,, as follows: The....e€,,Js..atua.r..e...finds ..t at..the shorelines of the state are among the most valuable and fragile of its natural resources and there is great concern throughout the state relating to their utilization, protection, restoration, and preservation. In addition, it finds that ever-increasing pressures of additional uses are being placed on the shorelines, necessitating increased coordination in the management and development of the shorelines of the state. The legislature further finds that much of the shoreline of the state and adjacent uplands are in private ownership and that unrestricted construction on the privately owned and publicly owned shorelines of the state is not in the best public interest. Therefore, coordinated planning is necessary in order to protect the public interest associated with the shoreline of the state. There is, therefore, a clear and urgent demand for a planned, rational, and concerted effort, jointly performed by federal, state and local governments, to prevent the inherent harm in an uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the state's shorelines. There are three basic policy areas to the Shoreline Management Act (SMA): shoreline use, environmental protection and public access. The SMA emphasizes accommodation of reasonable and appropriate uses, protection of shoreline environmental resources and protection of the public's right to access and use the shorelines. It is the policy of the state to provide for the management of the shorelines of the state by planning for and fostering all reasonable and appropriate uses. This policy is designed to ensure the development of these shorelines in a manner which, while allowing for limited reduction of rights of the public in navigable water, will promote and enhance the public interest. This policy contemplates protecting against adverse effects to the public health, the land and its vegetation and wildlife, and the water of the state and its aquatic life, while generally protecting public rights of navigation and its associated activities. In accordance with the Act, Master Programs must provide for public access to publicly owned areas, and a recreational element for the preservation and enlargement of recreational opportunities. "(The public's opportunity to enjoy the physical and aesthetic qualities of natural shorelines of the state shall be preserved to the greatest extent feasible consistent with the overall best interest of the state and the people generally," (i.e., One must look at the overall "best interest" of the state and the people when considering public access opportunities. In some cases, public access goals may be superseded by the goals of environmental protection or promotion of appropriate uses). The Act is intended to protect shoreline natural resources, including "...the land and its vegetation and wildlife, and the waters of the state and their aquatic life..." against adverse effects. To this end, uses shall be preferred that are consistent with control of pollution and prevention of damage to the natural environment or are unique to or dependent on use of the state's shorelines. Alteration of the natural condition of the shorelines of the state, in those limited instances when authorized, shall be given priority for single family residences, ports, parks, marinas, piers, and other improvements facilitating public access to shorelines of the state, and to industrial and The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 8/267 commercial developments that will provide an opportunity for substantial numbers of the people to enjoy the shorelines of the state. 1.5 The Pori Townsend Shoreline Master Program The following section summarizes the building blocks for this Shoreline Master Program. 1974 Shoreline Master Program (SMP) The City of Port Townsend adopted its first SMP in 1974. The Plan combined both the City's shorelines and those of Jefferson County into a single document. Although the SMPs were adopted separately by the State of Washington, the programs were administered jointly over the next twenty years. It became apparent over the years, however, that the Jefferson -Port Townsend SMP was ill- fitted to the more urban development pressures facing Port Townsend. In short, the Jefferson -Port Townsend SMP, which was essentially written for rural Jefferson County, no longer could provide the level of protection to Port Townsend's shorelines that its residents demanded. In 1993, upon the recommendation of the Jefferson -Port Townsend Shoreline Management Advisory Commission, the City Council and the Board of County Commissioners, the SMPs were separated. During the late 1980s and early 1990s amendments to the SMP were essentially project -specific amendments intended to prohibit certain development proposals. The result was a SMP that became disjointed in its approach to shoreline management issues and relied on an outside document, the Urban Waterfront Plan, as its primary source of policies and regulations. mil. vv;r,-� &ccded--vv;rsl i7e City .determined that a comprehensive revision to the SMP in its entirety_w2_r7ee,cle,cl.

The scope of the �- W at& &fit P44+(UWP) covered the waterfront from the Port of Port Townsend properties at Point Hudson to the City limits south of the Boat Haven Marina. The planning area was further broken into eight sub,,, districts based upon the individual character of the district. Each piece of the waterfront planning area contributed to the character of the waterfront as a whole. The C;,%ty,_identified the,_concept of improved public access wvasa-ded�� 44ied--as a vital part of planning for the shoreline, whereby walking continuously along the waterfront should be made easier, with greater connection between open spaces to provide opportunities for socializing, recreation and enjoyment of the natural environment. Other concepts introduced as a result of the t- 4avri W ater#'r orri-PhaffU,W,f?, included a Special Height Overlay Zoning District, an Overlay Design Review District and new design guidelines for the area in an effort to manage growth and maintain the character of the urban waterfront. Historic preservation and the creation of environmental controls were other important issues that were further supported by the U 4av Waterf'r arri C da U,W,f?, building on the kdir-re--C cr-G a o wa S,M„f? and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. Mandatory compliance for the review of all projects within the historic district was another outcome of the plan. The general design guidelines that were included within the appendices of the Plan have been inserted within the zoning code — Waterfront Design Guidelines Overlay District.

In the midst of Phase 11, the state legislature selected Port Townsend as an "early adopter," that is, to be one of the first jurisdictions to update its Shoreline Master Program under the new legislation adopted in December of 2003. As an early adopter, the City was mandated to complete the update by December 1, 2005. Phase I began in 2001. The City conducted a detailed analysis of shoreline conditions as the initial information gathering process associated with the preparation of an update to its Shoreline Master Program. The analysis included an extensive literature review of the City's shorelines and peer review of the draft process. The result was the preparation of science -based recommendations for preserving, protecting, and restoring PortTownsend's shoreline areas. Chapter 3 summarizes the major findings, conclusions, and observations from the City of Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program Update — Phase 1 2002 Shoreline Inventory Summary Report.

With the inventory in hand, the City entered Phase II of the process. The City convened a Shoreline Advisory Group (SAG) made up of various stakeholders, including representatives from State Parks, State Ferries, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Fish and Wildlife, the S'Klallam Tribe, the Portof Port Townsend, the Port Townsend City Council and Planning Commission, and residents and business operators. By the end of this phase, the group had set "provisional" shoreline designations and reviewed general goals. Entering Phase III, the Shorelines Advisory group continued work on the goals and policies of the Master Program. Ad -hoc subcommittees formed to brainstorm on key areas such as Point Hudson, Boat Haven and the Restoration Plan. In all, the Advisory Group met 25 times from May 15, 2003, to July 7, 2005. On June, 2, 2004 the City held an Open House to seek input from the general public with an emphasis on identifying restoration and public access opportunities. Acknowledging the special circumstances surrounding Point Hudson marina, the City launched a focused public participation effort with the goal of providing the Shoreline Advisory Group with specific recommendations for The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007; Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 10/267 Point Hudson. In February 2004, under a $20,000 Q.41 ,I, colo..,,.y grant, the City retained a consultant to work with representatives from the City of Port Townsend and the Port of Port Townsend. The consultant also interviewed a number of key stakeholders, met on April 13, 2004 with a Joint City and Port subcommittee and, on April 14, 2004, conducted a public workshop attended by upwards of 70 individuals. Issues identified, along with options for addressing those issues, were compiled in a final report delivered to the Shoreline Advisory Group. At a workshop on July 28, 2005, the Shoreline's Advisory Group presented the Draft Shoreline Master Program to the Planning Commission. Advisory Group members reflected positively on the "nuts and bolts process' and the "spirit of compromise" embodied in the draft document. Review of the draft Master Program continued with a Planning Commission Hearing held over a series often meetings. On October 13, 2005, after considering public testimony, deliberating the issues and incorporating necessary revisions, the Planning Commission voted 6-0-2 to recommend approval of the Draft Shoreline Master Program. In their recommendation to Council, the Commission noted: "Critical to the success of this effort has been the participation of key stakeholders, including those that participated as part of the City's Shoreline Advisory Group (Advisory Group). The Planning Commission wishes to extend its heartfelt thanks to all members of the Shoreline Advisory Group for their significant service to the city and their fellow citizens." City Council initiated their review of the Draft SMP on October 20, 2005. The public hearing was continued over five additional meeting dates: November 17, November 28, December 5,12th and 19 {�- e Wdiwiva es -; k7ccd). The December 19 hearing continued past midnight. In the early morning hours of December 20, 2005, Council moved to approve the Shoreline Master Program and forward the document to the Department of Ecology for review and adoption (Resolution 05-046). Public involvement in the update process was continuous and the City engaged in various means to inform the public of the update effort. In addition to written comments, public testimony was welcome at each advisory group meeting, planning commission and council hearing. The City's public outreach program included posting of minutes, drafts, overviews on the City's website, broadcasts on Port Townsend public television, presentations to special interest groups, an article in the City Newsletter and a televised open house/speaker series held at Fort Worden on July 20, 2005. The City issued a SEPA threshold determination on July 27, 2005 and submitted an analysis of cumulative impacts to the Department of Ecology (PPE) .Ec.2.11E,r) in August 2005. The final Shoreline Master Program was submitted to 7r~-). c2.I.29y..in March of 2006. 1.6 How the Shoreline Master Program is Used A. A Planning and Regulatory Document The Port Townsend Shoreline Management Master Program is a planning document that outlines goals and policies for the use, development, protection and restoration of shorelines of the City. It is also a regulatory ordinance with regulations for development intended to implement the goals and policies. In order to preserve and enhance the shoreline of the City of Port Townsend it is important that all development proposals relating to the shoreline area be evaluated in terms of the City's Shoreline Master Program, and that the City Shoreline Administrator be consulted. The Shoreline Master Program provides the regulatory parameters within which development may occur, or it states that the community considers a certain type of use, development or activity is unacceptable within the City's Shoreline jurisdiction, or it states that a use or activity may be considered (if a conditional review is applied for), but that the community should be able to ensure that the development is carried out in such a way that the public's interest in protecting the shoreline is retained. B. When is a Permit Required? The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 11/267 The Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program addresses a broad range of uses and development that could be proposed within the shoreline area. This thoroughness is intended to ensure that the Port Townsend shoreline area is protected from activities and uses that, if unmonitored, could be developed inappropriately and could cause damage to the ecological system of the shoreline, or cause the degradation of the aesthetic values of the shoreline that Port Townsend enjoys. Some uses/development may be required to obtain a Substantial Development Permit, a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit, a Shoreline Variance, or a Letter of Exemption. ALL proposals must comply with the policies and regulations established by the state Shoreline Management Act as expressed through this local Shoreline Master Program adopted by the City of Port Townsend. The Permit Process The Shoreline Master Program regulates all "development." It also further defines what is considered "substantial development." In general, a shoreline Substantial Development Permit (SDP) is required to be obtained for development within the shoreline area. Some development may require a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit or a Shoreline Variance from the provisions of the Master Program. Review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) may also be required. "Development," as defined under the Shoreline Management Act of 1971 is: A use consisting of the construction or exterior alteration of structures; dredging; drilling; dumping; filling; removal of any sand, gravel, or minerals; bulkheading; driving of piling; placing of obstructions; or any project of a permanent or temporary nature which interferes with the normal public use of the surface of the waters of the state subject to Chapter 90.58 RCW at any state of water level (RCW 90.58.030(3d)). This definition indicates that the "development" regulated by the Shoreline Management Act includes not only those activities that most people recognize as "development" (for example, improving a road surface, building a structure, etc.), but also those activities that citizens may do around their own home (for example, grading a hillside to enhance their personal view of the water). While the impact of these potential "developments" may seem inconsequential at first glance, they may have unwanted and damaging affects on the shoreline ecology, the property of others, and the shoreline aesthetics ............ "`II 2.22l11.012iM fnr ,'"doe „_ in. cs,[_iiirl, llude.., l raleE,L that ir7valve aniy. rw,Cs,ar re:: devel.a.lxrler7t,. There are three types of shoreline permits: the Substantial Development Permit (SDP), the Shoreline Conditional Use Permit, and the Shoreline Variance permit. Projects that are within the definition of "development" that are not "substantial development" do not require a Substantial Development Permit (SDP); however they must still comply with all applicable regulations in the City's Shoreline Master Program, and may be required to obtain a Letter of Exemption (Such developments may also be required to obtain a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit (CUP) or a Shoreline Variance from the Shoreline Master Program's provisions prior to building permit issuance, see Section 2.4, Uses Not Constituting "Development" and Exemptions from Substantial Development Permit Requirements). 2.

Under the Shoreline Management Act, some types of development are exempt from the requirement to apply for and receive a Substantial Development Permit before beginning work.' These exemptions are listed in Chapter 2 Scope, Jurisdictions, Exemptions. A project that is exempt from Substantial Development Permit requirements must still comply with all applicable regulations in this Master Program, and may be required to obtain a Letter of Exemption. The Shoreline Administrator can help identify if a project is classified as a development or a substantial development, determine if a Substantial Development Permit is necessary or if a project is exempt from permit requirements, and identify which regulations in the SMP may apply to the proposed project.

G. Applicability to uses not requiring development - The City intends to regulate development within the shoreline jurisdiction under its general police power authority to regulate for the general health, safety, and welfare and its specific authority under the SMA. All uses within the shorelines jurisdiction must be consistent with the policies and regulations of the Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program whether or not they require development. Furthermore, Shoreline Conditional Use and/or Shoreline Variance permits may still be required of development that is not substantial development. An exemption from the Substantial Development Permit requirements does not constitute an exemption from the policies and use regulations of the Shoreline Management Act, the provisions of this Master Program, and other applicable city, state, or federal permit requirements. WAC 173-27-140(1): "No authorization to undertake use or development on shorelines of the state shall be granted by local government unless upon review the use or development is determined to be consistent with the policy and provisions of the Shoreline Management Act and the Master Program." ;fie eo w b a-rjde-ed-} 2.3 Pori Townsend Shoreline.lurisdir'tion A.

Given that the Shoreline Designation Map is an integral part of this Master Program, no part of the map may be altered or revised unless a Master Program amendment has been approved by the City Council and the Washington State Department of Ecology (RCW 90.58.090). D. Associated wetlands that are included in the shoreline jurisdiction are those that influence or are influenced by the regulated waters including the Puget Sound, Kah Tai Lagoon and Chinese Gardens. In general, a wetland is "associated" if all or a portion of the wetland falls within that area that is 200 feet from the ordinary high water mark. A wetland outside of this area may also be associated if it is in proximity to the shoreline and there is a demonstrated influence between the wetland and the shoreline. Such influence can include hydraulic continuity, such as a surface or groundwater connection E. Application to projects only partially located within shoreline jurisdiction - For projects lying partially within shoreline jurisdiction, the shoreline permit must incorporate consideration of the entire integrated project and a determination of consistency with the policies of the Shoreline Management Act and this Master Program must be made and uses must be found compatible with shoreline uses within the applicable designation. However, only the portion within the shoreline jurisdiction must meet the regulations and standards (e.g., height limit, lot coverage, etc.) of this Master Program. 2.4 Exemptions from Substantial Development Permit A.

The city is bordered on three sides by marine beaches, referred to in this document as the Northern, Eastern, and Southern shorelines. Although these three shoreline 2.1 e a s are connected through climate, oceanographic features, littoral drift, and animal habitat utilization, they are distinct from one another in ecologically important ways such as: wave energy, substrate type, and degree of human shoreline alterations. City shorelines include priority habitats supporting a variety of priority marine fishes, birds, plants and invertebrates. Many of these species are listed under state and/or federal law as priority species, sensitive species, species of concern, candidate or listed species under the Federal Endangered Species Act. The City also contains two "Lake Shorelines," Kah Tai Lagoon and Chinese Gardens. Following is a description of each shoreline: the Northern, Eastern, Southern, and Lake Shorelines, including existing land use, public access, and impairments. The shorelines are further divided into sub -segments based upon the geomorphology. 3.3 Northern Shoreline The Northern Shoreline runs along the Strait of Juan de Fuca between Elmira Street and the eastern tip of Point Wilson. Of the three shorelines, this shoreline is the most highly exposed to wind waves. The rocky intertidal substrates support surfgrass, priority canopy -forming kelp habitats and priority bird habitats associated with the The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page23/267 bluffs and the proximity to Protection Island. The Northern Shoreline is composed of three sections. The three-mile long stretch includes: the West Bluffs, the Low Bank/Chinese Gardens Trough, and the Fort Worden Bluffs/Point Wilson Spit. Figure 36 of the Shoreline Inventory shows the sub- segments of the northern shoreline. A. West Bluffs This shoreline is 7000 feet long. The drift cell along this sub -segment carries sediments from these West Bluffs east to Point Wilson Spit. Armoring occurs in a few isolated instances. These steep bluffs, with heights up to 300 feet, are still eroding and contributing large amounts of sediments and woody debris to adjacent beaches. Land Use 1. Land use along this sub -segment is residential and agricultural. Historically, there were likely forests to the edge of the entire bluff edge. 2. Presently historical forest areas have been cleared for housing developments between Fort Worden and the western edge of Seaview Estates. Public Access 1. Although there is view access at Elmira Park, there is no public access directly to this shoreline segment due to private ownership of bluff areas and the steep nature of these bluffs. 2. Public view access is only provided atop the steep bluffs at Elmira Park. 3. The tidelands from Elmira Street to Cook Avenue and from Hendricks Street to Hill Street are state- owned from the government meander line or Mean High Tide to Extreme Low Tide (WDNR 1989). Impairments 1. 6% of this shoreline is armored with isolated instances of riprap, bulkheading and stairways. 2. Approximately 70% of the length of the bluff top has been denuded to allow for agricultural and residential uses. B. Low Bank/Chinese Gardens Trough This sub -segment, consisting of approximately 2100 feet of low bank backshore, lies within the northern shoreline drift cell. The net sediment movement is easterly carrying sediment from eroding feeder bluffs at McCurdy Point to the Point Wilson Spit. The bluffs to the west, including the above -described West Bluffs, are important sediment sources for this sub -segment. The low bank nature of this sub -segment precludes its significant sediment contribution to down -drift beaches (Shipman 2002). Land -Use Approximately 80% of the backshore area of this shoreline is residential, 10% is Jefferson County Park lands and the 10% is Fort Worden State Park land. Public Access 1. Informal public access is located at the end of Gise Street, where a rock stairway provides beach access. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 24/267 2. Public access is also located at the North Beach County Park from where the public can easily access the beach from the parking lot, which is only one to two feet above sea level. From either of these access points, the public can continue walking along the shoreline beyond city limits in the westerly direction or walk along Fort Worden property to Point Wilson. Impairments 1. This area appears to have been 90% denuded over the past 100 years. However, no significant additional denudation appears to have occurred over the last 50 years. Cumulative effects of individual occurrences are an ongoing risk. 2. The City of Port Townsend sewage outfall is located 900 feet offshore from the Fort Worden State Park portion of this shoreline. This is monitored on a monthly basis, as part of a statewide Marine Water Column Ambient Monitoring Program.

This shoreline sub -segment is hardened by riprap for well over 50% of its length. However, the riprap is varied in height and upkeep. Approximately 20% of the riprap is single boulder height averaging 2 feet each and is in a derelict state. This derelict state still allows some movement of sediments and organic materials between the backshore and the intertidal. The remaining is armored as high as 7 feet with little to no interaction between backshore sediments and the intertidal beach. 4. Shoreline armoring poses the risk of interfering with public access when hardened shorelines cause beach erosion. This erosion can eventually cause the shoreline structure to intrude into the intertidal over time, limiting public access to areas on the other side of the structure. Multiple stairs to the beach, a fence and 2 stormwater outfalls are found in the upper intertidal area. Fort Worden Bluffs/Point Wilson Spit The Fort Worden Bluff portion of this sub -segment is characterized by over 4200 feet of high banks and steep bluffs over 200 feet in height. These bluffs provide sediments for adjacent beaches and the Point Wilson Spit (WDNR 2001, Keuler 1988). The forests above the Fort Worden Bluffs are largely intact with forests along the entire bluff top contributing woody debris to the beach system. The Point Wilson spit is over 2400 feet of low bank backshore and accretionary spit receiving sediments from the bluffs to the west. The Fort Worden Bluffs and the West Bluffs are the major sources of sediments. Some of this sand is transported around the Point by wave refraction and the rest is lost offshore. The combined result, despite the existence of high feeder bluffs to the west, is a sediment deficit at Point Wilson (Schwartz 1994). A series of photos from 1976 to 1990 show a continuous riprap from in front of Battery Kinzie to the lighthouse, intermittent riprap in 1985, and riprap only at Battery Kinzie and the lighthouse in 1990. Presently, the shoreline around the tip of Point Wilson and seaward of the Battery Kinzie are armored by riprap and large concrete blocks. In addition to riprap, a series of three sills, composed of a series of boulders, were placed perpendicular to the shoreline to retard erosion between the Battery Kinzie and the lighthouse in 1989. An extreme series of northerly storms in 1990 lowered the beach profile and cut a scarp into the backshore despite the three sills. Based on beach profile measurements taken in 1994, erosion appears to have lowered the profile of the beach between 1990 and 1994. Park personnel estimate the beach to be eroding at a rate of 4 feet per year. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 25/267 Land Uses 1. This entire sub -segment is Washington State Park lands. 2. The Point Wilson Spit also houses a U.S. Coast Guard lighthouse and dwelling, two parking lots, a road that loops around for public access to a parking lot on the northern side and a road for public access to a campground located on the western end of the spit. Public Access 1. Fort Worden State Park historic military site offers long sandy beaches with upland lodging, conference centers, camping, day -use, theater, science center and boat ramp. 2. A public campground with 50 full -hookup sites on the spit area between the bluffs and the beaches of Point Wilson. 3. Public access to Point Wilson Spit is provided by three trails. 4. The beach along the northern shoreline is used predominately for beachcombing, walking, education and sightseeing. 5. Access to the northern shorelines is available from a day -use parking lot, over riprap and from the campground over the dunes. Impairments 1. 20% of this shoreline has been armored, changing the natural portions of the spit backshore from one of sand, pebbles and cobble to large riprap and concrete blocks. 2. Shoreline armoring has likely interfered with the natural migration of the spit to the south. 3. Armoring may have reduced high berm and upper intertidal area for forage fish spawning. 4. Armoring and the lighthouse structure limit public access to the point. 5. Continued erosion threatens the existence of parking lot and existing Coast Guard buildings. 6. Remaining sill structures potentially impede public access. 14 Eastern Shoreline The Eastern Shoreline runs along Admiralty Inlet between Point Wilson and Point Hudson. Residential and recreational land uses dominate the Eastern Shoreline. It is a semi -protected shoreline with reduced wind wave energy. These shorelines provide fine substrates that support rich abundances of eelgrass meadows that in turn support priority and ESA -listed fish species and priority bird habitats. The Eastern Shoreline is made up of four segments across a two- mile stretch: Point Wilson Spit, Low Bluffs, High Bluffs, and Low Bank Beach to Point Hudson (Figure 44 of the Shoreline Inventory). A. Point Wilson Spit Point Wilson Spit is approximately 3500 feet long. It is a broad, low bank sandy- spit with natural sandy beaches along this eastern shoreline. The spit is located within Fort Worden State Park and supports a Coast Guard Lighthouse that is armored with a combination of concrete blocks, riprap and pilings that have been added over time to defend the Point from erosion. B. Land Use and Public Access The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 26/267 Point Wilson, within the Fort Worden State Park, is used predominately for recreation. The exception is the lighthouse area, presently used for navigational purposes by the U.S. Coast Guard. However, with changes in navigational technology, this use is expected to change to recreational. The spit is used both for active and passive recreational purposes with visitors from around the nation and the world enjoying fishing, diving, boating, viewing, walking, beach -combing, camping, picnicking, and educational group activities along the southern beach of the spit. The public has access to this entire shoreline segment. It is used for diving, boating, beachcombing, clamming, fishing and educational activities sponsored by the Port Townsend Marine Science Center. An underwater dive park is located offshore from this segment. This beach is a popular beach used year-round by families, individuals and organizations. Backshore, picnic tables and shelters, restrooms and public trails enhance public access and use of this beach segment. Impairments 1. Less than 1% of this beach has been armored. Armoring occurs only at the tip of Point Wilson where riprap and pilings armor the tip to protect the lighthouse. 2. The major extent of this beach has very little modification. The low -bank sub -segment with the boat basin, ramp, and associated bulkheads blocks sediment transport to this beach on the southern side of Point Wilson. However, sediments are apparently transported from the north around the spit and deposited onto the beach, as the beach does not show significant erosion loss. C. Low Bluffs This sub -segment extends for approximately 1500 feet. It includes the Fort Worden Boat Basin and extends to the edge of the High Bluffs along Morgan Hill. Just over 10% of this shoreline has been armored. These Low Bluffs are vegetated by a variety of trees and shrubs and are located upland of a broad sand and gravel backshore with dunegrass. These moderately high bluffs are not feeding sediments to the beach or littoral transport system. The beach is sandy with dunegrass found upshore and eelgrass beds in the subtidal areas. The net sediment drift cell direction is northeast from Point Hudson to Point Wilson. This beach area continues to receive sediments from Point Hudson. However, the south boat basin bulkhead breaks sediment drift at the edge of this sub -segment and sediment accumulates on the south side of the boat basin. A paved public road runs along the bluff -top parallel to the beach. This road provides vehicle access to Point Wilson Spit, the beach campground and public facilities. Land Use and Public Access 1. Located within the boundaries of Fort Worden State Park, this area is extensively used by the public for walking, beachcombing, boating, diving and other recreational and educational events. 2. The boat basin within this segment provides a public launching ramp composed of a 33-foot concrete boat ramp and an associated seasonally available 70-foot floating dock. It also hosts the Port Townsend Marine Science Center, a marine science public education facility that includes a marine laboratory and aquarium that is open to the public. 3. The marina includes a 70-foot float for both the science center and public overnight moorage. This float is also located in the boat basin and is attached to the main dock. 4. The basin is enclosed by bulkheads on both the east and west sides. 5. A 132-foot bulkhead is located along the north side of the boat ramp. This protects the basin from wind waves and swells from the east. 6. On the south side of the main dock, a bulkhead consisting of a series of 264 pilings prevents sediments from entering the basin from the southwest and west. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 27/267 7. Several anchor buoys are located offshore for overnight moorage. The State Parks maintains these buoys and charges the public a fee for buoy tie-up. 8. South of the boat basin, a 127-foot stairway provides public access from the paved road at the bluff top. The stairway includes viewing decks area with interpretive signage depicting the natural physical processes along that shoreline. Impairments 1. Approximately 10% of this shoreline is modified. Bulkheads on both sides of the boat basin interfere with the sediment transport process in the net eastward direction and likely decrease the abundance of sediments deposited to the beach on the south side of the Point Wilson Spit. 2. In 1996, it was reported that at least 3500 cubic yards of excess sand were trapped in the basin with larger quantities prograded from the south breakwater updrift to the wooden access stairway. D. High Bluffs This segment begins at the southern Fort Worden boundary and continues for approximately 4300 feet to Chetzemoka Park. These are steep high bluffs of around 100 feet in height. There exists potential for large landslides and future hazards. These bluffs contribute significant sediment loads to the littoral drift system (Shipman 2002). Land Use 1. For the most part, this entire stretch is developed for residential use with houses at the top of the high bluffs. 2. The shoreline is only used for passive recreation, such as walking and beach -combing. Public Access The bluffs are too steep to allow stairway access. Public access to these beaches is only through Fort Worden State Park beaches, Chetzemoka City Park or through Port property at Point Hudson. The Chetzemoka Park access provides viewing seats, disability access and interpretive public education signage on marine resources and shoreline biology. Impairments 1. Less than 10% of this shoreline is armored. The residential portion, which is the major portion, of this sub -segment, contains no bulkheading. 2. The Chetzemoka Park shoreline is armored with broken chunks of aggregate followed to the south by approximately 275 feet of riprap and a concrete ramp walkway providing public and disability access to the shoreline directly from the City park. 3. At nearly Mean Tide Level, the tideline reaches the riprap toe at the base of walkway ramp. 4. On the northern end of the park property, stormwater runoff has been allowed to drain over the top of the bluff causing soil failure directly under the outfall located on the bluff at the rear of the Golden Age Club building. 5. Outfall of chlorinated City water forms an artificial aesthetic "creek" flowing through the park cascades down the bluff. It is at the site of this outfall that most of the derelict armoring aggregate is located. 6. Some denudation along the residential bluff tops with increased construction of new homes. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) E. Low Bank Beach to Point Hudson Page 28/267 This 1500-foot low bank sub -segment extends from the southern border of Chetzemoka Park to Point Hudson. It receives sediments from the south with little, if any, input from the low bank backshore. The sediment wraps around Point Hudson to create the spit. This sediment deposition has created a spit extending easterly from the tip of Point Hudson. It is not clear if there was a historical tidal inlet located along this sub -segment. Historically, the Port filled and dredged the lagoon area at this site to create the marina. Land Use 1. Approximately 700 feet of this 1500-foot sub -segment is owned by the Port of Port Townsend. The remaining is adjacent to private property. 2. Approximately 50% is residential and 50% passive recreational use. The beach is used by the public for walking and beach -combing and the adjacent upland area, owned by the Port of Port Townsend, providing overnight recreational vehicle and trailer -camping. 3. At Point Hudson, a gravel public road adjacent to the backshore provides access to commercial buildings, restaurants, marina office, hotel, and RV camping sites. Public Access 1. Public access to this sub -segment is provided at both the Port's Point Hudson property and Chetzemoka Park. This beach is widely used for beachcombing and walking by the local public. 2. Point Hudson public access provides parking and pathways to the beach. 3. A Native American historical canoe exhibit is adjacent to the beach at the Point Hudson section. Impairments 1. 10% of this shoreline is armored. 2. This 1500-foot shoreline is largely unmodified, with the exception of 140 feet of riprap and wooden stairs added to provide beach access to a private residence. 3. Low bank erosion along the shoreline of the Lincoln Beach residences has moved the southern shoreline landward. This progradation could be exacerbated by shoreline modifications along the southern shoreline that have interfered with sediment transport and the deposition of sediments along this shoreline. 4. Riprap armoring appears to be moving seaward 3.5 Southern Shoreline The Southern Shoreline consists of the shoreline from the Larry Scott Bluffs, west of the western Boat Haven jetty, north to Indian Point, and north from Indian Point to Point Hudson. The approximately 3 miles of shoreline along this segment are defined primarily as urban waterfront with a mix of commercial and residential development. These shorelines are semi -protected from wind -wave energy. They also provide fine substrates for eelgrass beds and support priority and ESA -listed species. These shorelines are also the most highly modified shorelines in the City. The Southern Shoreline consists of three segments: Point Hudson to Indian Point Pocket Beaches, Kah Tai Trough, and Larry Scott Bluffs. Port Townsend shorelines have a long history of human occupation. Based upon early photographs taken at the turn of the century, the City's in- and over -water structure footprint appears to have been reduced over the past decades. This is a result of buildings no longer being built into the intertidal and recent dock construction, such as the Union Wharf, being designed to avoid impacts to the marine environment. The southern shoreline is 100% The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 29/267 modified by various structures and i 4#=41Jhl,l. The majority of land use is commercial/port related industrial. Residential uses in the form of condominiums or apartments occupy low bank areas between downtown and the Boat Haven while single-family residences sit on the high bank property above the Larry Scott Memorial Trail. A. Point Hudson to Indian Point Pocket Beaches This approximate one mile shoreline from Point Hudson to Indian Point consists of small pocket beaches separated by riprap, seawalls and a variety of over -water and other structures. Historically, along the eastern end in the immediate vicinity of Point Hudson, the shoreline was low bank with tidal marshes. Continuing westward from Monroe Street, steep feeder bluffs likely provided sediments to broad, flat intertidal beaches between Point Hudson and Indian Point. Approximately 6% of this shoreline remains unarmored. Unarmored beaches can be found at Pope Marine Park, Adams Park and at the end of Tyler Street. Land Use 1. The land use in this segment is predominately commercial and recreational. 2. Point Hudson is a small marina under the ownership of the Port of Port Townsend that serves mainly recreational boaters. 3. The City Dock, the Wave Viewing Gallery, 41&- 4a4..4&& ;--and the Union Wharf are city -owned structures built to serve tourism and recreational needs. 4. A variety of private property owners own buildings and parcels adjacent to downtown shorelines. 5. Admiralty Apartments and Bayview Condos are the only shoreline residential buildings between Point Hudson and Indian Point. All other uses are primarily commercial hotels, restaurants and retail. Public Access 1. Public access via a pier out over the water is provided at the Point Hudson jetty walkway along the marina jetty. 2. Access to the full length of the beach between Point Hudson and City Dock is available just east of the Thomas Oil site, at the Salmon Club Boat Ramp, and Pope Marine Park. 3. Public access is provided on piers over the water on the City Dock and the Union Wharf. 4. Public access to the beach area between the Cannery Building and the Surf Restaurant is provided at the Adams Street Park. 5. Public access is provided just west of the ferry terminal access road and by way of the public walkway beginning at the Shirley Browning Park at the Bayview Restaurant and extending west to Indian Point via a continuous walkway. 6. Public access is provided at the end of Tyler Street Public access to the shoreline is provided at Walker Street Park. Impairments 1. Over 95% of this beach is armored. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 30/267 2. Between the Jetty Walkway and the old Thomas Oil site approximately 120 feet of beach is armored with riprap followed by 60 feet of unarmored beach. West of the old Thomas Oil site, 60 feet of natural beach extends westward, followed by a 60-foot natural beach and a 60-foot cement seawall. 3. Concrete bulkhead on western edge of Thomas Oil site. 4. Portable Sani-can on intertidal beach. 5. Derelict dock at Thomas Oil site. 6.

The intertidal area between the City Dock and the Cannery Building has been effectively eliminated by a variety of structures that include the ICI-4 d c47 4K- Wave Viewing Gallery, the old Quincy Street Ferry Dock, and the old Cannery Building. 8. West of the old Cannery Building riprap, a seawall extends to a 100-foot unarmored pocket beach adjacent to the Adams Street Park, followed by buildings and decks extending into and over the intertidal, including the Surf Restaurant and Union Wharf. 9. West of the Union Wharf, a series of buildings extend into the intertidal with the exception of one small 100-foot unarmored beach at the end of Tyler Street. 10. Between the Port Townsend Plaza and the Washington State Ferry Terminal, the Port Townsend Plaza bulkheading and fill area effectively eliminates the intertidal beach seaward of the plaza riprap. 11. The area west of the Washington State Ferry Terminal and out to Indian Point is a long continuous intertidal beach armored with a combination of riprap and two concrete seawalls at each end. Indian Point is 4si-441;6.11J. extending out into the intertidal. 12. Bulkheading has interrupted the littoral sediment drift and deposition along Southern Shoreline beaches and adjacent Eastern Shorelines. 13. All docks with the exception of the Maritime Center, Union Wharf and the new Washington State Ferry Terminal are built upon creosote piles. Creosote is known to leach into adjacent substrates and the water column. In this way, it known to enter the marine food web, resulting in the bioaccumulation in marine organisms. 14. Riprap and concrete rubble effectively eliminate shallow intertidal on tides above ry},e,arr..law..w,ate,r... ;,MLW). between Pope Marine Building and riprap rubble west of Cannery Building on Quincy Street. 15.

Between Quincy Street and Port Townsend Plaza, armored shorelines, with the exception of the Tyler and Adams Streets pocket beaches, intrude into the intertidal at tides above mean high water (MHW). 17. Port Townsend Plaza and associated riprap bulkheading extend into the intertidal area, effectively eliminating the shallow intertidal on tides higher than MLW from the eastern edge of the mall to just west of the ferry terminal access road. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 31/267 18. Dredged hole seaward of Port Townsend Plaza, from which fill was dredged to support the plaza, eliminates the colonization of eelgrass at that location. 19. Restaurant, condominiums and motel built on 4s+w441.f.11. between new ferry terminal and Indian Point intrude over historic intertidal and presently effectively eliminate nearshore habitat above MEW. 20. Indian Point ar-xd'il4fill eliminates shallow nearshore on all tides above MLW. 21.

Boat anchoring during heavy tourist season likely dislodges and interferes with health of eelgrass beds along downtown shorelines. B. Kah Tai Trough This is a one -mile shoreline that extends between the base of the bluffs just west of Kearney Street to the eastern base of the Larry Scott Bluffs. This depression once contained extensive wetlands and a very large lagoon that was largely filled to provide for a large boat basin, boatyard and other businesses. It is part of an approximate three - square mile depression in the center of the City that runs approximately 3 miles north to south and 1 mile east to west across the City center. Again, due to extensive modification, the direction of the drift cell is presently unknown. Although historically the littoral drift direction was easterly towards Point Hudson, these beaches are now cut off from sediments deposited by alongshore drift from the west due to the Boat Haven and associated jetties and structures. Land Use 1. Along this approximate one -mile shoreline, between Indian Point and Boat Haven, landuse is 25% residential and 75% commercial. 2. The marina has two boat basins, a main basin for private recreational boats and a smaller commercial fishing basin to the east. Benedict Spit separates the two basins. The marina configuration is that of a closed basin comprised of 4 sets of docks with a total of 425 slips. The main basin hosts two haul- out areas and two boat ramps. 3. 25 acres of uplands adjacent to the marina hosts a large industrial park that provides storage for 200 boats and space for numerous marine trades and related businesses. 4. Historic use of railroad trestle, now abandoned, west of the Boat Haven. 5. Gaines Street sewer pump station located at the waterward end of Gaines Street. Public Access 1. Public access to the beaches along this sub -segment is provided at Gaines Street, at Kearney near Jefferson Title and just west of Aladdin Motor Inn.

The large Port of Port Townsend Boat Haven is a public marina providing public access to docks over the water and along the inner marina shoreline. Impairments 1. The jetties surrounding the marina interfere and block sediment transport with sediments backing up behind the western jetty and not depositing to beaches east of the marina, as they would otherwise do. 2. Marina jetties fill intertidal area and block sediment transport to all pocket beaches to the east with sediments being trapped at the western end jetty. 3. Water quality sampling indicates that boat discharges and the lack of circulation have degraded water quality within the marina. This degradation is significant during the boating season with fecal coliform standards far exceeding WDOH standards. 4. The marina provides no passageway for juvenile salmon migration. 5. The abandoned railroad trestle is a potential source of contaminants due to creosote piles. 6. The Boat Haven is built in some of the most productive Pacific sand lance habitat along city shorelines. Pacific sand lance spawning beaches are found on both sides of the Boat Haven. 7.

A seawall and numerous riprap-armoring modifications intrude into the intertidal posing risks of further seaward intrusion. 9. Artificial Jed#'iddfill at Indian Point intrudes into intertidal habitats. C. Larry Scott Bluffs Land Use 1. The City shoreline along the Larry Scott Trail extends for approximately 1/2 mile. It has 100% recreational use with the trail available to the public for walking and bicycling. 2. Along the bluff tops, the upland use is 100% residential. 3. At the base of the eastern edge of the bluffs, 2 port wetlands are used for stormwater catchment. 4. The Port maintenance shop is also located in close proximity to these wetlands. Public Access At the western end of the Boat Haven boatyard, public access is provided to a shoreline trail for passive public recreation that includes walking and bicycling along the Larry Scott Trail. The trail runs along the old railroad bed that once served the Port Townsend Paper Mill. Impairments 1. Fill and riprap has separated the intertidal from the historic feeder bluffs. This reduces sediment deposition to down -drift beaches. 2. Larry Scott Trail is on fill over historic intertidal area.

Sediments drifting alongshore from feeder bluffs north of Kala Point accumulate behind the marina. 4. Untreated stormwater outfalls are found along this segment of shoreline. 16 Lake Shorelines A. Chinese Gardens The Chinese Gardens Shoreline consists of the shoreline surrounding the Chinese Garden Lake. It is located entirely within Fort Worden State Park within the City's largest drainage basin. The Chinese Garden Lagoon is a Category I wetland with the lake also regulated under the City's Shoreline Master Program. Land Uses 1. Chinese Gardens is located within Fort Worden State Park. The surrounding area to the east and north is used for passive recreation, such as walking and kite -flying. No swimming or boating is allowed in the lake. 2. The western and southern half of the lake is approximately 50% residential,-owre KPrw a w a - hee -- #ar n are-tdre-so*14d 4-ec+Rer and 50% municipal with Jefferson County Housing Authority and the Port Townsend Sewer System and Public Works offices located along the shoreline. Public Access Public access is provided to Chinese Gardens through trails from North Beach County Park and trails to and from Fort Wooden State Park. A bench for viewing and historical information is provided. Impairments 1. Historical drainage valves and dams for Chinese Truck Gardens. 2. Pipeline to marine waters for outflow on tide levels below ,_M.e,a,Y7..1,,,aw,er,,,,l,,,aw,_Wat,e„r„..MLLW�,. 3. Historical deforesting for military fort. 4. City stormwater collection from south, west and east city streets. Most of this stormwater is treated by bioswale and ponding with the exception of a culvert at the south end of the lake and overland from a pasture housing development to the south. 5. Shoreline hardening occurs along the face of the sewer treatment plant. B. Kah Tai The Kah Tai Lake Shoreline consists of the shoreline surrounding the Kah Tai depression. At one time Kah Tai Lake was connected with Port Townsend Bay. In the mid-1960's Kah Tai, previously an open coastal lagoon connected with Port Townsend Bay, was filled with Boat Haven dredge tailing to provide for boat storage areas, businesses, and parking. Today, Kah Tai consists of 15 acres of open water, 15 acres of wetland habitat, and 40 acres of upland habitat nestled within a natural area in the center of the City. Recently Ecology has concluded that the Kah Tai Lake Shoreline is a Category I wetland (Ecology 2004). Land Use 1. Kah Tai basin is the second largest storm water drainage basin in the City. The basin drains approximately 645 acres of medium to dense residential development from the south-central city area, including surrounding areas, the golf course and Discovery Road areas.

To accomplish this, segments of shoreline are given an environment designation based on existing development patterns, natural capabilities and limitations, and the aspirations of the local community. Environment designations are categories that reflect the type of development that has, or should take place in a given area. The scheme of classifications represents a relative range of development, from high to low intensity land use, and targets types of development to specific areas. The environment classification scheme is intended to work in conjunction with local comprehensive planning and zoning. Management policies are an integral part of the environment designations and are used for determining uses and activities that can be permitted in each environment. Specific development regulations specify how and where permitted development can take place within each shoreline environment. Development Regulations in this chapter generally govern use, height limits, and setbacks. Additional policies and development regulations are provided for specific situations, uses and developments in other chapters of this Master Program. 5.2 Authority Weeis4pe V::j7.e...C;.isy...a:('..f'.a.ra..:V.a .rls.E.rlcl... s. required, under the Washington State Shoreline Management Act of 1971 through WAC 173-26, to develop and assign a land use categorization system for shoreline areas as a basis for effective Shoreline Master Programs. The state's Shoreline Master Program Guidelines describe the purpose of environment designations in WAC 173-26-191(1)(d): Shoreline management must address a wide range of physical conditions and development settings along shoreline areas. Effective shoreline management requires that the Shoreline Master Program prescribe different sets of environmental protection measures, allowable use provisions, and development Regulations for each of these shoreline segments. The method for g&�,&f"ef4tj7.e...C;%ty. to account for different shoreline conditions is to assign an environment designation to each distinct shoreline section in its jurisdiction. The environment designation assignments provide the framework for implementing shoreline policies and regulatory measures specific to the environment designation. 5.3 Shoreline Environment Designations The Port Townsend classification system consists of eight shoreline environments that are consistent with, and implement the Washington State Shorelines Management Act (Chapter 90.58 RCW), the Shoreline Master Program Guidelines (Chapter 173-26 WAC), and the City of Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan. These environment designations have been assigned consistent with the corresponding designation criteria provided for each environment. In delineating environment designations, the City of Port Townsend aims to assure that existing shoreline ecological functions are protected with the proposed pattern and intensity of development. Such designations should also be consistent with policies for restoration of degraded shorelines. The eight_: shoreline environments are: Aquatic Natural Conservancy The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 43/267 4.

The official shoreline map and all the notations, references, and amendments thereto and other information shown thereon are hereby made a part of this Master Program, just as if such information set forth on the map were fully described and set forth herein. File Copies The official shoreline map shall be kept on file in the office of the City of Port Townsend Long Range Planning Division, the Washington State Department of Ecology, and the Washington State Code reviser. Unofficial copies of the map may be prepared for administrative purposes. To facilitate use of this Master Program an "unofficial copy" i..s avaJ.1ablear 1 r]ear]d has been attached as Appendix A. Map Amendments The designation map is an integral part of this Master Program and may not be amended except upon approval by the City and the Washington State Department of Ecology, as provided under the Shoreline Management Act. Boundary Interpretation Where uncertainty or conflict may occur in the exact location of a jurisdictional or shoreline designation boundary line, the Shoreline Administrator shall rely upon the criteria contained in RCW 90.58.030(2) and chapter 173-22 WAC pertaining to determinations of shorelands, as amended, rather than the incorrect or outdated map. In the event that new shoreline areas are discovered (e.g., associated wetlands) that are not mapped and/or designated on the official shoreline map, these areas are automatically assigned a natural designation if they include critical areas, or, if no critical areas, a conservancy designation until the shoreline can be redesignated through an SMP amendment.

The state puts added emphasis on these areas to ensure that they are protected for the long-term interests oft he people of the state. The Shoreline Management Act states that the interests of all of the people of the state shall be paramount in the management of shorelines of statewide significance. Areas Designated Within the Port Townsend shoreline jurisdiction, the waters of Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca lying seaward from the line of extreme low tide are designated as shorelines of statewide significance. Management Policies Policy 5.5.1 Recognize the order of use preferences established by the Shoreline Management Act in formulating and implementing this Master Program and any amendments affecting shorelines of statewide significance. This Master Program gives preference to uses, in the following order of preference, that: a. Recognize and protect the statewide interest over local interest. The City will consult with applicable state agencies, affected Indian tribes, and statewide interest groups on proposed actions affecting shorelines of statewide significance. b. Preserve the natural character of the shoreline. Shoreline environment designations and use regulations should direct higher intensity uses away from functionally intact shorelines. C. Result in long-term overshort-term benefit. The benefits of new development should be evaluated in light of the long-term impacts on shoreline resources and aesthetics. d. Protect the resources and ecology of the shoreline. e. Increase public access to publicly owned areas of the shoreline. Given that all of Port Townsend's shorelines of statewide significance lie seaward of the line of extreme low tide, public access for shorelines of statewide significance pertains to aesthetics and access for recreational uses such as boating and scuba diving. f. Increase recreational opportunities for the public on the shoreline. g. Provide for any other element as defined in RCW 90.58.100 deemed appropriate or necessary. Policy 5.5.2 In addition to the provisions of this section, all proposed developments and activities within shorelines of statewide significance shall comply with Section 5.6 Aquatic and all other appropriate provisions of this Master Program. 5.6 Aquatic In addition to the aquatic policies and regulations set forth below, proposals involving areas seaward of extreme low tide must comply with the policies for Shorelines of Statewide Significance (Section 5.5 above). The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 45/267 The development patterns of Port Townsend's historic downtown were predicated on the orientation of buildings located along the shoreline towards Water Street. The absence of adequate access to the rear of these buildings is evidenced by the loading/unloading of commercial deliveries from the center of Water Street. This lack of rear access also hinders the adaptive reuse of historic buildings. Modern building codes require two points of egress for life -safety for most uses. Discharging building occupants to an intertidal area (i.e., beach) does not satisfy the second point of egress requirements of the codes. The City is committed to maintaining the continued viability of historic buildings along the shoreline. The establishment of an over -water walkway or multiple walkways that allow for emergency egress is a key component towards maintaining this viability. I n addition, the establishment of these walkways may, in appropriate circumstances, provide an added benefit by enhancing opportunities for public access. A.:..Purpose The purpose of the Aquatic designation is to protect, restore and enhance the unique characteristics and resources of marine waters, including habitat, ecology, navigation and public enjoyment. Recognizing the unique and fragile nature of the aquatic environment, those limited uses that are allowed will typically require a s.j7.ar..e.11ine...conditional use permit. k,o,_Designation Criteria The Aquatic environment designation is the area located waterward of the ordinary high- water mark, excluding those waters encompassed within marinas, Chinese Gardens or Kah Tai Lagoon. An Aquatic environment designation should be assigned to marine waters and 4qe4wdands waterward of the ordinary high-water mark, provided that water bodies used as commercial marinas may be designated Boat Haven Marine Trades or Point Hudson Marina, and that the largely undeveloped open water areas of Chinese Gardens and Kah Tai Lagoon should be designated Natural. The Aquatic environment includes the water surface together with the underlying lands and the water column of such areas. �...:.-Areas Designated Description,,,, [Fhe Aquatic designation includes areas waterward of the o Haven Marina, Point Hudson Marina, Chinese Gardens or Kah Tai Lagoon. water Rationale,:....,,,, -The Aquatic shoreline environment allows specific control over potential in -water uses and developments. .D Management Policies Uses for Boat Commented [A32]: Note to Codifier: For all parts of Section 5.6-5.13 please put description and Rationale on the same line as the following text, and use italics if possible, to improve readability and make the structure of the text more clear.

Environmental Protection Policy 5.6.9 Shoreline uses and modifications within the Aquatic environment should be designed and managed consistent with the Environmental Protection policies and regulations of Chapter 6 including but not limited to preservation of water quality, habitat (such as eelgrass, kelp, forage fish spawning beaches, etc.), natural hydrographic conditions, and safe, unobstructed passage of fish and wildlife, particularly those species dependent on migration. Policy 5.6.10 Remove abandoned over -water structures when they no longer serve their permitted use unless: a.

These systems require that only very low intensity uses be allowed in order to maintain the ecological functions and ecosystem - wide processes. Uses envisioned within this designation are limited to those recreational/educational uses that are in keeping with the primary goal of environmental protection. Consistent with the policies of the designation, the Shoreline Master Program should include planning for restoration of degraded shorelines within this environment. Designation Criteria The Natural Designation includes those areas that require very low intensity uses in order to maintain the ecological functions and ecosystem -wide processes. A Natural Designation should be considered for shoreline areas if any of the following characteristics apply: 1. The shoreline is ecologically intact and therefore currently performing an important, irreplaceable function or ecosystem -wide process that would be damaged by human activity; 2. The shoreline is considered to represent ecosystems and geologic types that are of particular scientific and educational interest; The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 52/267 3. The shoreline is unable to support new development or uses without significant adverse impact to ecological functions or risk to human safety; or 4. The shoreline is in public ownership and has been identified as a restoration opportunity in th.e.�.iit.''.................

Ecologically intact shorelines, as used here, means those shoreline areas that retain the majority of their natural shoreline functions, as evidenced by the shoreline configuration and the presence of native vegetation. Generally, but not necessarily, ecologically intact shorelines are free of structural shoreline modifications, structures, and intensive human uses. Recognizing that there is continuum of ecological conditions ranging from near natural conditions to totally degraded and contaminated sites, this term is intended to delineate those shoreline areas that provide valuable functions for the larger aquatic and terrestrial environments which could be lost or significantly reduced by human development.

DR-5.7..0.9 Within the Natural Designation, removal of vegetation and topsoil is strictly regulated under the Clearing, Grading and Vegetation Management Provisions of Chapter 9. 5.8 Conservancy Ao Purpose The Conservancy Designation is intended to protect and restore the public benefits and ecological functions of open space, natural areas and other sensitive lands (e.g., valuable historic, educational, or scientific research areas, areas of high scenic value.) where they exist within the City, while allowing a variety of compatible uses. It is the most suitable designation for shoreline areas that possess a specific resource or value that can be protected without excluding or severely restricting all other uses. It should be applied to those areas that would most benefit the public if their existing character is maintained, but which are also able to tolerate limited or carefully planned development or resource use. Permitted uses may include recreational, cultural and historic uses provided these activities are in keeping with the goals of protection and restoration as stated herein. ...........Designation Criteria The Conservancy Designation consists of valuable natural, cultural, or historical resources or environmental conditions that should be protected, conserved, and managed so that those resources and areas remain available for the benefit of the public. Consider assigning the Conservancy Designation to appropriate shoreline areas, that is, those planned for development that are compatible with maintaining or restoring of the ecological functions of the area, and that are generally not suitable for water -dependent uses, if any of the following characteristics apply: They are suitable for water -related or water -enjoyment uses; b. They are open space, floodplain or other,e,rvi,rar7rv,}e,rt..2.1l..y-sensitive areas that should not be more intensively developed; C. They have potential for ecological restoration; d. They retain important ecological functions, even though partially developed; or e. They have the potential for development that is compatible with ecological restoration. C' ..o............

Policy 5.8.1 Ensure the preservation of scenic and non-renewable natural resources and the conservation of renewable resources for the benefit of existing and future generations, by limiting permitted uses and assuring that they are located and designed appropriately. Policy 5.8.2 Encourage the following uses: a. Uses that preserve the natural character of the area or promote preservation of open space, culturally or historically significant sites, or sensitive lands, either directly or over the long term. b. Uses that result in restoration of ecological functions if the use is otherwise compatible with the character of the area. Policy 5.8.3 Give priority to water -oriented uses over non -water oriented uses. For shoreline areas adjacent to commercially navigable waters, water -dependent uses that cannot be reasonably located in other environments (such as radar installations) should be given highest priority.

An additional purpose is to provide appropriate public access and recreational uses. lk.............. Designation Criteria The Shoreline Residential Designation is an area of low and moderate intensity residential land that maintains significant natural features. The Shoreline Residential Designation is appropriate for shoreline areas that are planned and platted for residential development. Where the Shoreline Residential Designation is adjacent to a marine bluff, the Shoreline Residential Designation is that area landward of the top of the bluff. Where no significant bluff exists (i.e., bluffs with a vertical height of ten feet or less), the Shoreline Residential Designation extends to the ordinary high water mark. Appropriate infrastructure either exists within these areas or is planned to be extended for the purpose of serving residential development. C' ..o............ Areas Designated C. Description,:. The Shoreline Residential designation includes: a. Areas zoned residential within 200-feet of the ordinary high water mark of marine waters, Kah Tai and Chinese Gardens lagoons; and b. For bluff top properties, residential lands lying landward of significant bluffs (i.e., bluffs with a vertical height of ten feet or greater). Rationale,:. These areas are privately owned lands zoned for residential development and have become established as residential neighborhoods. Infrastructure either exists or is planned to extend to these areas for the purpose of serving residential development. A key characteristic of these areas is their relationship and orientation to the shoreline.

Setbacks Setbacks from shoreline bluffs are subject to shoreline setbacks from the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) and to critical areas buffers from marine bluffs (Chapter 6, Environmental Protection). Why? Because the two have very different purposes. Shorelines setbacks protect views, while critical areas buffers are intended to reduce the potential for personal injury, loss of life or property damage and degradation of habitat. The greater of the two takes precedence. An additional distinction is that, landscaping, patios, and other at grade improvements are permitted within a setback whereas a buffer is to remain untouched.

Current zoning (C-II, General Commercial) allows for retail businesses, professional offices, hotels, restaurants, personal service shops, recreational uses, and upper -story residential uses. Emerging real estate, business service and office uses are interspersed with multi -family structures and hotels. The Port Townsend - Keystone state ferry terminal is included in this designation. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 66/267 Vehicles entering and exiting the ferry terminal mix with local traffic on Sims Way (State Route 20) creating significant traffic pressures on this two-lane highway. Opportunities to improve the highway are limited by natural topography and the built environment. Between Kearny Street and the ferry terminal, the close proximity of both the bluff and existing structures to pedestrian and vehicular traffic discourages the development of this area as a specific destination. However, significant water views and the bluffs provide a unique aesthetic quality to this area. This shoreline has been heavily modified and shoreline functions are impaired. Restoration efforts should be encouraged through various incentives such as factoring "restoration" in as a water -dependent use in a mixed -use project. Ao Purpose The purpose of the Urban Designation is to provide for commercial and recreational uses, limited residential and transient uses and public land uses while seeking opportunities for protection and restoration of ecological functions. Because few water -dependent or water -related uses are appropriate in this location, to be consistent with the policy of the Act, shorelines within the Urban designation should be used in ways that enhance ecological functions and/or provide opportunities for the public use and enjoyment of this shoreline. lk.............. Designation Criteria The Urban Designation is appropriate for areas that currently support or are planned for general commercial development. The Urban Designation is located landward of the ordinary high watermark. C' ..o............ Areas Designated C. Description: ........... The Urban designation includes: a. Areas east of Boat Haven Marina and west of the downtown Historic Overlay District, landward of the ordinary high water mark. (.e. Care Center on the east side of Kah Tai Lagoon.

Policy 5.10.6 Require, where applicable, new development and/or redevelopment to include environmental cleanup (e.g., removal of contaminated soils) and restoration of the shoreline in accordance with state and federal requirements. Public Access Policy 5.10.7 Protect view corridors identified in Appendix B through appropriate design (e.g., modulation of building heights and massing) of new development. Designs shall protect views of the water and the bluff as viewed from onshore and from offshore. Policy 5.10.8 Seek a public pedestrian walkway system along the Urban waterfront utilizing a combination of natural beaches, pathways, piers, wharves, street -ends, sidewalks, stairways, or other improvements. Although it may not be feasible for the walkway system to be continuous throughout the entire area, it should promote quality pedestrian access to and along major portions of the waterfront. The street -ends of Thayer, Decatur, Kearney, Gaines, Scott, Walker, and Calhoun Streets should, at a minimum, become developed access points to the shoreline. Linkage between these street- ends should be determined by the physical characteristics of the shorelines, existing development patterns, potential for structural improvements, and other factors relevant to developing a continuous pedestrian system. Policy 5.10.9 Encourage designs that enhance pedestrian traffic without impeding vehicular traffic through the use of paving textures, fencing, landscaping, and signage that makes a greater distinction between automobile traffic and pedestrian circulation systems. Policy 5.10.10 Ensure that new development acknowledges and continues the continuity of the street facade and the predominance of ground -level street -front retail bays along Water Street and encloses or otherwise conceals parking facilities. ::......Development Regulations Uses DR-5.10.1 The following are prohibited in the Urban Designation: a.

This area includes many non - water -oriented commercial uses as well as historic structures that have been built on fill placed in the shoreline area. Existing land uses include specialty shops and services, upper floor residential, restaurants, hotels, government offices, cultural resources, community -oriented buildings, public recreational uses and open space. On -street parking is also a dominant visual feature of the area. The development patterns of Port Townsend's historic downtown were predicated on the orientation of buildings located along the shoreline towards Water Street. The absence of adequate access to the rear of these buildings is evidenced by the loading/unloading of commercial deliveries from the center of Water Street. This lack of rear access also hinders the adaptive reuse of historic buildings as modern building codes require two -points of egress for life -safety for most uses. As noted in Section 5.6 Aquatic, the City is committed to maintaining the continued viability of historic buildings along the shoreline. The establishment of an over- water walkway or multiple walkways that allow for emergency egress is a key component towards maintaining this viability. ....Purpose The purpose of the Historic Waterfront Designation is to protect historic resources, provide for continued commercial uses that are consistent with the historic character of the area, including those that are not water - oriented, while protecting existing ecological functions, restoring ecological functions in areas that have been The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 72/267 previously degraded, and enhancing public access to the shoreline.

Policy 5.11.7 Ensure that new development provides visual and physical public access, consistent with constitutional and statutory limitations, unless such access is shown to be incompatible due to reasons of safety, security, or impact to the shoreline. In lieu of on -site improvements, the Shoreline Administrator may allow for off -site improvements if said improvements would provide a greater public benefit (WAC 173-26-221 (4)(c) and (d)). Policy 5.11.8 Implement aesthetic objectives by means such as compliance with the City's sign control regulations (Chapter 17.76 PTMC), appropriate development siting, screening, and architectural standards as implemented through the City's historic design review standards (Chapter 17.30 PTMC), and locally appropriate landscaping. Policy 5.11.9 Seek a public pedestrian walkway system along the Historic Waterfront Designation utilizing a combination of natural beaches, pathways, piers, wharves, street -ends, sidewalks, stairways, or other improvements. Although it may not be feasible for the walkway system to be continuous throughout the entire area, it should promote quality pedestrian access to and along major portions of the waterfront. The street -ends of Tyler, Adams, Quincy, and Monroe Streets should, at a minimum, become developed access points to the shoreline. Linkage between these street- ends should be determined by the physical characteristics of the shorelines, existing development patterns, potential for structural improvements, and other factors relevant to developing a continuous pedestrian system. Policy 5.11.10 Implement ecological and aesthetic objectives by restoring native shoreline vegetation where feasible, including at developed street ends and/or public shoreline access points. ::......Development Regulations Uses DR-5.11.1 The following are prohibited in the Historic Waterfront Designation: a.

A section of the Larry Scott Memorial Trail also lies within this dA; +;ckCl,es,l,p,r7, ,t,i,a,r7.. The Boat Haven marina, owned and operated by the Port of Port Townsend, is a 19-acre rectangle surrounded by a riprap breakwater. Benedict Street Spit separates the existing in -water moorage at Boat Haven into two basins. One privately owned parcel lies within the Port -owned properties at the Boat Haven. The northeastern basin, approximately 4-acres in size, serves water -dependent commercial operations with moorage for approximately 50 vessels. In the mid- 80s, the northeast basin was home to approximately 50 commercial fishing vessels. Market conditions have caused that number to dwindle to approximately 10 commercial fishing vessels today, resulting in increased recreational vessel use of the northeastern basin. The northeast basin is a transitional area that serves as a gateway between the urban waterfront commercial uses to the east, and the water -dependent and water -related marine trades uses in the main basin. The majority of the recreational moorage and water -dependent and water -related commercial facilities within the dsi, "w44:clles,i mation are located in the approximately 15-acre main basin situated on the southwestern side of the Benedict Street Spit, where approximately 350 vessels are moored. There is an existing fuel float, sanitary pump - out facility, and transient moorage float adjacent to the Benedict Street spit, as well as a public boat launch. Prior to development, the entire Boat Haven area, including areas that now lie outside the shoreline jurisdiction, was a small bay that adjoined Port Townsend Bay. Significant filling beginning in the 1800's created the present upland area known as Boat Haven Industrial Park. Uplands areas within the shoreline jurisdiction are used primarily for water -related uses including: boat storage, boat building, repair, sales and service; a commercial fish processing operation, a yacht club; a U.S. Coast Guard station, and marine -related offices and manufacturing. Some of the water -enjoyment and non -water -oriented uses at the Boat Haven occur outside the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction, and include a wide range of uses including: a restaurant; offices; manufacturing; a County household hazardous waste facility; and an assortment of other commercial retail and professional businesses. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 76/267 Current zoning allows for small restaurants of up to 1,500 square feet.' A number of these upland uses are nonconforming (as of 2005) under the marine -related manufacturing (M-II(A)) zoning which is applied to upland portions of the Port's property at the Boat Haven. Though also applied to areas outside the shoreline jurisdiction, the 2005 M-II(A) zoning district states that it is intended for larger scale and more intensive water -dependent and marine -related uses. The Port of Port Townsend plans a deep -water expansion of the marina. Approximately 200 new slips would be added. A new work pier and docks would be constructed in the expanded basin. The Port's preferred alternative is a deep- water expansion and upland redevelopment alternative for the marina expansion. It should be acknowledged, however, that additional input from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as well as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), could result in changes to the preferred alternative (please refer to alternative #2, page III-18-22, and Figure 3-2 within the Comprehensive Scheme of Harbor Improvements Update 2003 & Environmental Impact Statement: December 2, 2003). Ao........... Purpose A. The overall purpose of the Boat Haven Mai irvr V-�ad 5454E 4+iet- C:.)......esig.n.atl.ar7...is to provide for a variety of ............ water -oriented uses, with a primary focus on water -dependent and water -related activities and uses including recreational boating, manufacturing, assembly, haul out and repair. It is intended to support larger scale and intensive water -dependent or marine -related uses and activities that are critical to maintaining and building upon Port Townsend's marine trades businesses. Though the +tO V5-de ig .,!nq„ii0 ', ,_focus is upon water -dependent and water -related activities, an appropriate mix of water -enjoyment and limited non -water -oriented uses is appropriate within the northeastern portion of the ci44s ic+t-:d sifmation to serve as a transitional gateway between the urban waterfront commercial uses to the east, and the water -dependent and water -related uses in the remainder of the Boat Haven.

This is an established marina operated by the Port of Port Townsend and used for recreational, commercial and industrial marine activities. t o......,,,_Management Policies Policy 5.12.1 In regulating uses in the Boat Haven o 4et,Clesif,r7,a.1,1a,r7, distinguish between the main boat basin and the northeast boat basin areas as follows: a. Prohibit water -enjoyment and non -water -oriented uses within the main boat basin. First priority should be given to water -dependent uses, second priority to water -related uses, and third priority to public access uses (i.e., including associated facilities such as public restrooms, benches and signage). b. Within the northeast boat basin, first priority should be given to water -dependent, water - related, and water -enjoyment uses (including public access uses), second priority to non -water - oriented uses combined with water -dependent or water -related uses, and third priority to a limited range of non -water -oriented use as specified in Table 5.12-1. Policy 5.12.2 Provide for high -intensity water -dependent and water -related commercial and industrial uses within tkre-Boat Haven --i &st+iet, while protecting existing ecological functions. Non -water - dependent industrial uses should be located outside the shoreline jurisdiction Policy 5.12.3 Preserve and protect existing water -dependent and water -related uses, especially marine trades, as critical elements of the traditional and current economy of the city, as well as elements that define the character of the community. Policy 5.12.4 Permit as conditional uses water -enjoyment uses and a limited range of non -water -oriented uses within the northeastern basin sub district as described in the "Uses and Sub 4etsC)IsU acts" section of this chapter, provided that such uses are found to be compatible ............... with, and supportive of, preferred water -dependent and water -related uses. This policy is intended to acknowledge the existence of a transition zone between the urban waterfront district lying to the east of Thayer Street and north of Washington Street, and the more intensive water -dependent and water- related industrial uses within the main basin sub -district. Policy 5.12.5 Permit water -enjoyment public access uses (i.e., including associated facilities such as public restrooms, benches and signage) as third priority uses within the main boat basin, and first priority uses within the northeast boat basin, consistent with management policy 5.12.1, above. Policy 5.12.6 Maintain the existing, and expand the future, base of water -dependent and water -related industrial activities within tkre-Boat Haven --i &st+iet, particularly in those areas lying in the main basin sub -district. Policy 5.12.7 Support the Port's preferred alternative for the proposed marina expansion by including the deep -water expansion area in the map designation for the Boat Haven IX79tr ie Clesi,f,r7,at%a,r7. Work with the Port to foster a marina expansion and upland development that achieves the goals of the priority uses for 4K- Boat Haven P44+ 4 and supports the long-term viability of marine trades. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 78/267 Policy 5.12.8 Encourage the Port to manage liveaboards situated within the marina in a manner that ensures the use: a. Will not result in the marina exceeding federal or state water quality standards; b. Will meet the "no net loss' policy for ecological functions; and C. Will not inhibit the long-term viability of priority uses (i.e., water -dependent and water - related uses). Design Elements Policy 5.12.9 Locate, design, construct and operate industrial and port facilities to minimize unnecessary conflicts with and impacts to adjacent, non- industrial land or water uses to the extent practicable, given the intended use and zoning as a Port industrial facility. Policy 5.12.10 Preserve water -dependent and water -related uses, enhance publicly oriented recreational uses along the shoreline, and foster compatible marine -related uses in adjacent upland areas of the Boat Haven. Policy 5.12.11 Require new development to provide physical and visual access to shorelines whenever possible and consistent with constitutional and statutory limitations, provided such access does not interfere with industrial operations or endanger public health and safety. In lieu of on- site improvements, the Shoreline Administrator may allow for off -site improvements if said improvements would provide a greater public benefit (WAC 173-26-221 (4)(c) and (d)).

Over the past 30 years, Point Hudson has become internationally known as the home of the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival and the home of small-scale, high quality marine trades craftsmen and craftswomen. Boat builders, sail makers, kayak retailers, and other marine trades and artisans make Point Hudson a truly unique place, and helped to attract the Northwest Maritime Center. Point Hudson's proximity to the Northwest Maritime Center offers tremendous opportunity to revitalize the area in keeping with its scale and character. The marina and most of the land at Point Hudson are owned and operated by the Port of Port Townsend. In April of 2002, after having leased it to a private entity since April of 1962, the Port took over operation of the Point Hudson property, which consists of approximately 32 acres of uplands and tidelands. Most of the buildings in the Point Hudson 4 aia rvrj-&&444.,Clesif,r7,at%a,ri. date from the 1930's when Point Hudson was used as a federal quarantine station or from the 1940's when Point Hudson served as a Coast Guard station and U.S. Army training base (hereafter referred to as the Point Hudson Station Buildings) (Appendix D, Map of Point Hudson Station Buildings). The U.S. Military deeded the majority of the Point Hudson trieh,Clesif,r7,a.11a,r7, including tidelands, to the Port in 1956. Over the years these buildings have served many purposes and their creative adaptive reuse is one of the character defining features of this Ekqto 4etcl,es,i,mation. The Point Hudson c�i4 4et. es,l,p;rr,,ti,a,r7,_is located within the Port Townsend National Landmark Historic District, but none of the buildings is listed on the National Register. With the ongoing and future planned public access projects, including the 1,400 linear feet of beach trail and the Port's planned esplanade around the perimeter of the marina basin and northeast shoreline, Point Hudson has shoreline access and view corridors of both the Cascades and the Olympic mountain ranges, and also includes water views of Admiralty Inlet and Port Townsend Bay. Views have also been restored by the Port's removal of overhead wires, telephone poles and the foghorn.

Visual access is impacted by the placement of recreational vehicles in the Port operated RV Park. The RV Park provides recreational access to the shoreline to a substantial number of people; however, for the purposes of this master program, RV camping is not considered a water -enjoyment use. Port officials report that net revenues from the RV Park currently keep Point Hudson financially viable, supporting water- oriented development with the income it generates. The City recognizes real improvement to habitat value and ecological function could result from portions of dune areas near the sand spit being restored to more natural conditions, with native species buffer areas to the sand spit established and protected from trampling. The goal is to achieve the ecological restoration of the eastern point. Ao Purpose The purpose of the "Point Hudson -A a- 4�a ' environment designation is to provide for a variety of water -oriented uses and other limited uses appropriate to the existence of a traditional small-scale marina, marine trades and artisan and public use of Point Hudson, which create the character of Point Hudson. This designation seeks to promote adaptive reuse of the existing buildings and a mix of water -dependent and water -related uses compatible with the historic character of the �ktde rat %orl. To promote historic preservation and encourage increased public access and ecological restoration of the eastern point, this E1 9U&ettd s,i,gr atiion also accommodates a mix of water -oriented uses and other limited uses that promote adaptive reuse and are compatible with the historic, marine -related character of the area. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007; Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 87/267 The Shoreline Management Act's goals of increasing access to shorelines; preserving scenic vistas; and protecting and restoring buildings, sites, and areas that have historic, cultural, scientific, or educational value are all priority goals in the Point Hudson P44 44,E).2,l,p;rr,ati,a,r7.. On December 19, 1994, the City of Port Townsend and the Port of Port Townsend through Joint Resolution 94-148 adopted six goals from the draft Point Hudson Master Plan to guide future planning and development activities in Point Hudson. These joint goals have been incorporated into this Master Program (see General Management Policies (1-6) below). Designation Criteria The Point Hudson Mat ir-x;a-4N&k,KA, erw aer . c0esignation encompasses Port and private properties that are occupied by the Point Hudson marina and associated uses including marine trades, maritime educational use, visitor -serving commercial, recreation and moorage. Description,:.............._The Point Hudson A i a G:I-istwic+t- w a t-cd,Clesignation- "-`-g t--&• m- Ai +irk="-) includes: 1. The area southeast of Hudson Place and east of Jackson Street including the spit and the marina landward of the ordinary high watermark. 2. All of Blocks 93 and the east half of both blocks 52 and 45, Plat of Port Townsend Original Townsite, lying east of Monroe Street and south of Franklin Street landward of the ordinary high water mark. 3. The property that encompasses the Northwest Maritime Center site, Block 4 of the Port Townsend Original Townsite, bounded by Monroe Street to the west and the Point Hudson Marina to the east, including the vacated portions of Water and Jackson Streets. 4. The map of environmental designations contained in Appendix A graphically depicts this 4eh,cl,es,i, ;,nation. Rationale: ........... Point Hudson is an established and historic marina and is used primarily for water -oriented marine trades, limited commercial, maritime educational and recreational activities. The uses in Point Hudson are distinct from the residential uses to the north and the c-44 e cl,es,i, ;,r7,at,i,a,r7,...places an emphasis on water -oriented uses as opposed to the more general commercial uses found in the Historic Waterfront I.)e.si.gr7.at1on4i'-qt. 4E4. The Point Hudson Poi 4i4k [)e,si.'riation lies within the Port Townsend National Landmark Historic District. The primary objectives of this c=4Pi 4:c es,i,matiion are to achieve a high level of rehabilitation of existing buildings, renovate the marina, protect and restore shoreline ecological resources, promote shoreline public access and showcase Port Townsend's maritime history, small-scale marine trades businesses, visitor services and special waterfront character. The challenge is to find ways to maintain the, :Dii '-yll ii,.i.nt II N,a s, ,'s„ integrity, character and economic viability to support the needed infrastructure and public improvements without undue gentrification and displacement of marine trades and maritime educational uses. t o......,,,_Management Principles Development and rehabilitation of existing buildings should be based on the following principles: 1. Allow incremental, evolutionary changes to existing buildings and shoreline uses, starting with current use patterns. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page88/267 2. Retain long-term opportunities for water -oriented uses, such as increasing marine -oriented uses, educational institutions and public areas. 3. Coordinate long-term planning with the downtown, particularly in the areas of vehicle and pedestrian circulation, visitor access, and achieving a broad spectrum of uses, activities and attractions. 4. Coordinate boating facilities and marine -oriented activities with Boat Haven to maximize opportunities for the recreational and commercial boating community. 5. Recognize that Point Hudson is a unique waterfront site within the northwest and is an important gateway into Port Townsend. .,.......,,,_Management Policies General Policy 5.13.1 Pursuant to Resolution 94-148, the following general goals provide the foundation for planning within Point Hudson: 1. Point Hudson must be financially self-supporting. 2. Protect small-scale nature. 3. Provide a high degree of public access/use. 4. Preserve the historic character. 5. Encourage the marine trades and water -oriented uses. 6. Maintain property in Port/public ownership. Policy 5.13.2 Encourage the removal of RVs from Point Hudson, especially on the point, by allowing adaptive reuses in existing buildings and new compatible development that will generate sufficient replacement revenues to the Port to ensure that Point Hudson remains financially self- supporting. As part of the recurrent plan and code review and amendments mandated under the GMA (RCW 36.70A.130), periodically assess the status of Point Hudson and determine whether the use and development regulations for Point Hudson are achieving their desired effect. Policy 5.13.3 Work with the Port of Port Townsend to identify opportunities for restoration such as the Point Hudson sandspit and an appropriate buffer zone for protecting and restoring ecological functions, consistent with the ecological protection and restoration objectives of this Master Program. Removal of pedestrian, domestic animal and automotive intrusions from the area nearest the sand spit would facilitate enhancement of ecological functions of that dynamic feature of the land and sea, and promote protection of avian species like Black Brant geese. Policy 5.13.4 Limit the size and total square footage of restaurants in order to protect Point Hudson's small— scale character and emphasize marine -trades as the priority uses in this E1 9U&etdes.i. ,.r7.at%a,r7. Uses Policy 5.13.5 Recognize the unique character of Point Hudson's sub -districts: The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 (Ord. 3198) THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 89/267 a. Point Hudson East Sub district (See Shoreline Designations Map Appendix A). This area includes buildings and open spaces that date from the 1930's. Water -oriented uses and a limited number of nonconforming uses (the latter includes a number of visitor serving uses) that are compatible with the historic character of the buildings have successfully evolved in this sub,,,, district. The former lessee of Point Hudson did not encourage the rehabilitation and reuse of existing buildings and minor modifications to these buildings are necessary to achieve the historic preservation goals of the community. No additional R.V. spaces should be permitted in Point Hudson. Limited new development and adaptive reuse of existing buildings should be allowed within the Point Hudson East Sub district to encourage public access and open space and to facilitate the revitalization and rehabilitation of existing buildings. b. Maritime Heritage Corridor Sub district (See Shorelines Designation Map Appendix A). This area, which includes the N WMC site, should continue to support the majority of the marine trades and other water -dependent and water -related uses located in Point Hudson, because of its proximity to the marina and haul -out and because of the buildings' suitability for small scale marine trades use. Limited water -enjoyment uses are also appropriate uses in this sub,,, district. Non -water -oriented uses should be limited to minor portions of development housing a mix of uses.' C. Marina Sub district (See Shorelines Designation Map Appendix A). This area,,_waTe,r;wa,rr!...a:):.. tjle...O.HWM.,, should be dedicated to water -dependent, water -related and public access uses only. Design and operation of the marina should support upland marine trades. Although the marina is primarily for transient boaters, its historic use of harboring liveaboards during the "off season" is expected to continue. Policy 5.13.6 Encourage and support small-scale marine trades in Point Hudson. Wwater-dependent and water -related uses are priority uses in Point Hudson. Policy 5.13.7 Increase opportunities for marine -oriented educational, public, and non- profit uses. Policy 5.13.8 Recognize the significance of Point Hudson to local Native American Tribes and allow for temporary use of the shorelines for ceremonial and seasonal use. The area north of the Commander's House may be an appropriate location for historic interpretation and additional public access uses. Design Elements Policy 5.13.9 Preserve Point Hudson's historic character. Encourage adaptive reuse of existing buildings. Require new structures to be designed in a manner that is compatible with Point Hudson's historic character. Encourage the rehabilitation of the original Point Hudson East buildings through adaptive reuse.

Keep Point Hudson pedestrian friendly and support development of a water walk/esplanade around the marina and along the northeast shoreline to create new public access and open space. Encourage public access amenities that are designed to respect and preserve ecological functions, native vegetation, and the natural character of the shoreline. Policy 5.13.11 Public view corridors in Point Hudson identified in Appendix B should be protected and enhanced through appropriate design (e.g., modulation of building heights and massing). Policy 5.13.12 Keep on -site parking small scale and consistent with the provisions of PTMC Chapter 17.72 for property within the National Register Historic Overlay District and ADA requirements. Locate parking to efficiently serve multiple uses. Provide convenient pedestrian access from more distant parking areas. New or enlarged parking areas should be located outside of shoreline jurisdiction. Parking for festivals and events should be discouraged in the unimproved shoreline areas of Point Hudson. Encourage transportation, parking, and pedestrian systems to be coordinated with a comprehensive downtown system of parking and transit services. Policy 5.13.13 Retain the small-scale character of Point Hudson. Policy 5.13.14 Recognize Point Hudson is a unique site within the Pacific Northwest and is the marine gateway into downtown Port Townsend for many transient visitors arriving by boat, and provides access to downtown for a variety of tenants, visitors and residents. Future Planning Policy 5.13.15 Work in collaboration with the Port of Port Townsend to help keep Point Hudson financially self- . supportingand resilient. to sea level Hise. Commented [A80]: Checklist 2 Policy 5.13.16 Encourage the Port to work with the marine trades to manage the marina in a way that best supports adopted land use designations noting the direct connection between operation of the marina and the success of upland water -dependent and water -related uses. Policy 5.13.17 Continue to coordinate long-term planning with the historic commercial downtown, particularly in the areas of parking, pedestrian circulation, visitor access (transient moorage), and achieving a broad spectrum of water -oriented uses, activities, and attractions. Policy 5.13.18 Encourage the Port of Port Townsend, City of Port Townsend, and other agencies and non-profit entities, as appropriate, to research and implement a long-term stewardship strategy to manage and oversee revitalization of Point Hudson.

These policies and regulations apply to all uses, developments and activities that may occur within the shoreline jurisdiction regardless of the Shoreline Master Program environment designation. They are to be implemented in conjunction with the specific use and 3sAIs, ty-,ry},2c1Mc,ati.on,policies and regulations found in this Master Program. The Shoreline Management Act (SMA) mandates the preservation of the ecological functions of the shoreline by preventing impacts that would harm the fragile shorelines of the state. When impacts cannot be avoided, impacts must be mitigated to assure no -net -loss of ecological function necessary to sustain shoreline resources (WAC 173-26-201(2)(C)). The SMA also mandates that local master programs include goals, policies and actions for the restoration of impaired shoreline ecological functions to achieve overall improvements in shoreline ecological functions over time (WAC 173-26-201(f)).

DR-6.3.2 In approving shoreline developments, the City of Port Townsend shall ensure that shoreline development, use, and/or activities will result in no net loss of ecological functions necessary to sustain shoreline resources, including loss that may result from the cumulative impacts of similar developments over time to the extent consistent with constitutional and statutory limitations on the regulation of private property. To this end, the City may require modifications to the site plan and/or adjust or prescribe project dimensions, intensity of use, and screening as deemed appropriate. If impacts cannot be avoided through design modifications, the City shall require mitigation commensurate with the project's adverse impacts. DR-6.3.3 Identified significant short term, long term, or cumulative adverse environmental impacts lacking appropriate mitigation shall be sufficient reason for permit denial consistent with constitutional and statutory limitations on such denials. Mitigation The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 109/267 DR-6.3.4 Where mitigation for loss of or impact to shoreline ecological functions is required, a mitigation plan Ara.l.b..bses required. Mitigation plans shall be prepared by a qualified professional as determined appropriate by the Shoreline Administrator. In addition to the requirements for critical areas special reports ,....:-...e0+4a...rre.d-...rx...C41apte.r.:...:1:1a745-e t..A. ,l%s,j7,ecL...Isy...C;.j7...1: te..r:- ., the mitigation plan shall contain the following: a. Inventory existing shoreline environment including the physical, chemical and biological elements and provide an assessment of their condition. b. A discussion of the project's impacts and their effect on the ecological functions necessary to support existing shoreline resources. C. A discussion of any federal, state, or local special management recommendations which have been developed for wetlands or nearshore species or habitats located on the site; d. An assessment of habitat recommendations proposed by resource agencies and their applicability to the proposal; e. A discussion of measures to preserve existing habitats and opportunities to restore habitats that were degraded prior to the proposed land use activity. f. Planting and soil specifications; success standards; and contingency plans; g. A discussion of proposed measures which mitigate the impacts of the project to ensure no net loss of shoreline ecological functions and proposed success criteria; h. An evaluation of the anticipated effectiveness of the proposed mitigation measures to ensure no net loss of ecological functions; i. A discussion of proposed management practices which will protect fish and wildlife habitat both during construction, and, after the project site has been fully developed, including proposed monitoring and maintenance programs; j. Contingency plan if the mitigation fails to meet established success criteria; k. Any additional information necessary to determine the impacts of a proposal and mitigation of the impacts. Mitigation plans and/or Critical Areas special reports shall be forwarded to the appropriate state and/or federal resource agencies for review and comment. DR-6.3.5 On -site compensatory mitigation &4al1 baeis„ the preferred mitigation option, except where off - site mitigation can be demonstrated to be more beneficial to shoreline ecological functions and values and meets the standard of no net loss. Where appropriate, on -site mitigation within the same drift cell should be considered first when it is mitigation for impacts that disrupt a drift cell. DR-6.3.6 If off -site mitigation is implemented, the applicant must demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Shoreline Administrator that the mitigation site will be protected in perpetuity. This may be accomplished through various means including but not limited to dedication of a permanent easement to the city or approved non- profit entity; participation in a publicly sponsored restoration or enhancement program or purchase of credits from a state certified mitigation bank in accordance with C.4&f4er-!4 ,t;-RCW„9..O,,:84 (Wetlands Mitigation Banking). The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 110/267 DR-6.3.7 Where feasible, replacement mitigation shall be required prior to impact and, at a minimum, prior to occupancy. Bonding DR-6.3.8 Performance or maintenance bonds or other security may be required by the City to assure that work is completed, monitored and maintained. Monitoring DR-6.3.9 As a condition of approval, the City may require periodic monitoring for up to five years from the date of completed development to ensure the success of required mitigation. The monitoring period may be extended if the success criteria set forth in the approved mitigation plan fail to be accomplished, or the mitigation plan has a longer horizon. DR-6.3.10 Monitoring plans shall be forwarded, for review and comment, to state and/or federal resource agencies with jurisdiction. 6.4 Environmental Elements Management Policy Policy 6.4.1 Protect against adverse impacts to the public health, to the land and its vegetation and wildlife, and to waters of the state and their aquatic life. This section provides policies and regulations to address environmental impacts to the elements of the environment listed in the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) (WAC 197- 11-600 and WAC 197-11-666). It is not intended to limit the application of SEPA. Development Regulations (In Alphabetical Order) Air DR-6.4.1 In approving shoreline development, uses or activities, the Shoreline Administrator may apply conditions to control emissions, including any compounds, chemicals, pollutants, odors, fugitive dust, or vehicle exhaust with the intent of avoiding significant adverse impacts to the legal use of adjoining properties and ensuring adherence to the guidelines, policies, standards and regulations of applicable air quality management programs and related regulatory agencies. Arc haeologica I/Historica I/Cu Itu ra I Impacts Applicability: The following provisions apply to archaeological and historic resources whose presence are either recorded at the State Historic Preservation Office and/or by the City of Port Townsend or such resources that are uncovered during development activities.

In such cases, the developer shall allow site inspection and evaluation by a professional archaeologist and tribal representative to ensure that all possible valuable archaeological data are properly salvaged. Work should not resume until approval is obtained from the Shoreline Administrator. DR-6.4.4 Archaeological sites located both in and outside shoreline jurisdiction are subject to chapter 27.44 RCW (Indian graves and records) and chapter 27.53 (Archaeological sites and records) and development or uses that may impact such sites shall comply with Chapter 25.48 WAC (Archaeological excavation and removal permits) as well as the provisions of this section. DR-6.4.5 Where archaeological or historic sites have been identified, the city may require public access consistent with constitutional and statutory limitations, provided the development is consistent with the provisions for public access and provided further it is determined that public access to the site will not damage or reduce the cultural value of the site. Earth DR-6.4.6 All shoreline uses and activities shall be located, designed, constructed and managed to minimize interference with beneficial natural shoreline processes such as littoral drift, sand and gravel movement, erosion, and accretion. For projects proposing clearing and grading see Section 9.3 Alteration of Natural Landscape — Clearing, Grading and Vegetation Removal, Chapter 9 Specific Modification Policies and Performance Standards. DR-6.4.7 Gravel and sand bars and other accretion shore forms (e.g., Point Wilson and the sand bar protruding northerly from the tip of Point Hudson) are naturally unstable environments. They are valued for recreation and in some cases may provide habitat. Therefore, new development of these shore forms is prohibited and modification shall be allowed only to protect existing occupied structures. Furthermore, developments that could disrupt the processes benefiting these shore forms shall be carefully evaluated and allowed only when the impacts of such disruption can be adequately mitigated, and where there is a demonstrated public benefit. DR-6.4.8 An erosion and sedimentation control plan shall be submitted with a permit application for activities that involve the removal of vegetation, stockpiling of earth or other materials, or any activity that could result in shoreline erosion or siltation. Said program shall conform to the City of PortTownsend's Engineering Design Standards and shall at minimum, utilize Best Management Practices (BM Ps) to prevent shoreline erosion and siltation. Noise DR-6.4.9 Noise emanating from a shoreline use/activity shall be muffled so as to not to interfere with the designated use of adjoining properties. This determination shall take into consideration ambient noise levels, intermittent beat, frequency, and shrillness. Shoreline developments/activities shall comply with the maximum permissible noise levels and time limits set forth in Port The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 112/267 Townsend Municipal Code Chapter 9.09 (Noise). Exception: This regulation does not apply to foghorns, tsunami warning or other emergency warning systems Pesticides and Fertilizers, Application of: (Pesticides include herbicides and algaecides) DR-6.4.10 Chemical pesticides using aerial spraying techniques within the shoreline jurisdiction, including over water bodies or wetlands, e r-.C,eprohibited unless specifically permitted under the Washington Departments of Agriculture or Public Health. DR-6.4.11 Pesticides, organic or mineral derived fertilizers, or other hazardous substances, if necessary 4441-bse-js.-restricted in accordance with the a) state Department of Fish and Wildlife Management Recommendations b) the regulations of the state Department of Ecology as the Environmental Protection Agency's delegated authority and permitting body for the application of pesticides and herbicides to the waters of Washington State, and c) pesticide labels as per the authority of the state Department of Agriculture. DR-6.4.12 Pesticides 4ial-I-,r12.1Ast,_be used, handled, and be disposed of in accordance with provisions of the Washington g&� Pesticide Application Act (RCW 17.21) and the Washington kk-+Pesticide Cor]tr,al,-Act (RCW ,1:,k::=; F,1,!..:5 ) to prevent contamination and sanitation problems. DR-6.4.13 Pesticide products commercially applied for terrestrial use usually include information on how far to stay away when applying near water. If there were a chance of a product entering the water, the product should be labeled for aquatic use. Only products approved by the Washington State Departments of Agriculture, and Ecology for aquatic use can be applied to Washington State waters. Activities to be conducted using these products should take place under one of the Department of Ecology's general NPDES permits for aquatic pesticides. In some cases labeling information for commercial products may indicate the need for larger aquatic buffers and other restrictions when used near salmon -bearing waters. s;.e.e-- ttp" ..: � .t .t....tE,.t. i. ... ry ek gtae...... .....;: �F �.6... d:�-:k7ir7tlt.�....:•.;...�.o;.i.�„;...4.yg...I;;.Y.7..v;..Y7.�.e.Y.7.:�}.rz.Y:.�yte.�,:;..,ts�f>e"- DR-6.4.14 Application of pesticides by commercial applicators requires licensing through the Washington State Department of Agriculture.- a erow tia rare-4oeervr w e&R-bae-feweckat-- I�`'��;.�:..;.�.;>.rz DR-6.4.15 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles shall be used when applying pesticides and herbicides within the shoreline jurisdiction of the SMP. Application of pesticides to areas outside of the SMP shoreline jurisdiction that might have an affect on this jurisdiction should also follow these practices. IPM can be defined as a coordinated decision -making and action process that uses the most appropriate pest control methods and strategy in an environmentally and economically sound manner to meet pest management objectives. Public Health & Safety DR-6.4.16 All shoreline developments shall be located, designed, constructed, and operated so as not to be a hazard to public health and safety. View Protection/Aesthetics The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 113/267 DR-6.4.17 The protection of public views of the shoreline is an important shoreline management objective. View protection can include preventing view blockage through height limitations or requiring aesthetic enhancement with landscaping. View protection does not justify the excessive removal of vegetation to create views or enhance partial existing views. Retaining vegetation and "windowing' or other pruning techniques, k7� .r:e..always 4& preferred options over vegetation removal. Please refer to Chapter 9, Section 9.3, Alteration of Natural Landscape — Clearing, Grading and Vegetation Removal Chapter 7, S.j7.a.r.e.line...Public Access. DR-6.4.18 New development shall be located and designed to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to views from public vista points. DR-6.4.19 The height of new or expanded buildings shall be limited consistent with the restrictions of Chapter 5. Private views of the shoreline, although considered during the review process, are not expressly protected. Property owners concerned with the protection of views from private property are encouraged to obtain view easements, purchase intervening property and/or seek other similar private means of minimizing view obstruction. DR-6.4.20 Where lighted signs and illuminated areas are permitted, such illuminating devices shall be shaded and directed so as to prevent light and glare from negatively impacting neighboring properties, streets, public areas or water bodies. DR-6.4.21 New development, uses and activities shall locate and screen trash and recycling receptacles, utility boxes, HVAC systems, electrical transformers, fences and other appurtenances to minimize interference with public views. Exceptions may be permitted for security fencing. Water Quality DR-6.4.22 The bulk storage of oil, fuel, chemicals, or hazardous materials, on either a temporary or a permanent basis, shall not occur in shorelines without adequate secondary containment and an emergency spill response plan in place. DR-6.4.23 All development activities approved under this Shoreline Master Program shall be designed and maintained consistent with the City's Stormwater Management Plan and Engineering Design Standards. In addition, the City encourages utilization of Low Impact Development principles and practices such as setbacks, retaining land cover, and reducing impervious areas, and special caution to avoid infiltration of stormwater in shoreline areas along marine bluffs. (See the 2005 Low Impact Development Technical Guidance Manual for Puget Sound as guidance in this regard.) DR-6.4.24 As a condition of approval of a permit issued in accordance with this master program, the Shoreline Administrator may apply the following conditions to protect water quality: a. The development, use or activity shall utilize Best Management Practices (BMPs) to minimize any increase in surface runoff and to control, treat and release surface water runoff to protect the quality and quantity of surface and ground water. Such measures may include but are not limited to catch basins or settling ponds, installation and required maintenance of oil/water separators, biofiltration swales, interceptor drains and landscaped buffers. b. The release of oil, chemicals (including pesticides and herbicides), fertilizer or hazardous materials onto land or into the water is prohibited within the shoreline jurisdiction. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 114/267 C. Equipment for the transportation, storage, handling, or application of such materials shall be maintained in a safe and leak -proof condition. If there is evidence of leakage, the further use of such equipment shall be suspended until the deficiency has been satisfactorily corrected. 6.5 Critical Areas - General Management Policies Policy 6.5.1 Protect unique, rare, and fragile environments, including wetlands and fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas from impacts associated with development.

Management Policies The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 116/267 Policy 6.6.1 Protect critical salt -water habitats in recognition of their importance to the marine ecosystem of the City of Port Townsend and the State of Washington. These habitats provide critical reproduction, rearing and migratory nursery areas for valuable recreational and commercial species. They provide habitat for many marine plants, fish and animals. Policy 6.6.2 Prohibit, with limited exceptions, uses, activities and structures in critical saltwater habitats. Exceptions may be allowed for public or semipublic facilities (e.g. water -dependent recreational or transportation facilities or utilities) where no alternative location is available. Policy 6.6.3 Protect the composition of the beach and bottom substrate. Developments within or adjacent to the shoreline jurisdiction where critical salt water habitats exist, should not directly or indirectly change the composition of the beach and bottom substrate. Habitat enhancement and restoration projects should change beach or bottom substrata only when appropriate to restore or enhance these habitats. Policy 6.6.4 Avoid indirect impacts on critical saltwater habitats by appropriately locating and designing developments beyond the standard setback.

In the Port Townsend shoreline, high marine bluffs are the most visible type of geologically hazardous area, although seismic, tsunami and erosion hazards have also been mapped. The more severe hazard areas are not suitable for placing structures or locating intense activities or uses due to the inherent threat to public health and safety. Vegetation removal during construction and development of adjacent properties alters surface runoff and ground water infiltration patterns that can lead to increased slope instability. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 119/267 A certain level of erosion of shorelines and marine bluffs is natural to the Puget Sound area. Erosion from "feeder bluffs" is the primary source of sand and gravel found on beaches including accretion beaches (gravel bars, sand pits and barrier beaches). Extensive "hardening" of feeder bluff areas can eventually starve beaches down drift of the bluff, resulting in lowered beach profiles and the potential for increased erosion. Changes in the beach substrate resulting from reduced sediment deposition may result in negative habitat impacts. Erosion and accretion are natural processes that provide ecological functions and thereby contribute to sustaining the natural resource and ecology of the shoreline. Management Policies Policy 6.8.1 Ensure that new development or the creation of new lots does not cause any foreseeable risk from geological conditions to people or improvements during the life of the development. Policy 6.8.2 Permit development in such a manner and only in locations where no slope protection (e.g. bulkheads, rip -rap, retaining walls, etc.) is necessary or where nonstructural protection (e.g., vegetated buffers) is sufficient for the life of the project (75 years) Policy 6.8.3 Ensure that proposals are designed and constructed in a manner that does not increase or result in slope instability or sloughing. Policy 6.8.4 Allow shoreline modifications or other measures to protect existing primary structures only when they are demonstrated to be necessary, when no alternatives including relocation or reconstruction of existing primary structures are found to be feasible, and when the modifications are found to comply with the policies and regulations of this Master Program for modifications (See chapter 9) as well as the requirements of WAC 173-26-231 (Shoreline Modification requirements). Preference should be given to those types of shoreline modifications that have a lesser impact on ecological functions. Assure that modifications individually and cumulatively will result in no net loss of ecological functions.

A wetland directly impacts water quality and stormwater control by trapping and filtering surface and ground water. Wetlands also provide valuable habitat for fish and wildlife. Because of the difficulty in replacing these rare and valuable areas, these regulations control development adjacent to and within wetlands, and limit the amount of wetlands, which may be altered. The purpose of these regulations is to protect the public from harm by preserving the functions of wetlands and streams as recharge for ground water, flood storage, floodwater conveyance, habitat for fish and wildlife, sediment control, pollution control, surface water supply, aquifer recharge and recreation. Wetlands in Port Townsend are characterized by hydric soils, water -tolerant plants (hydrophytes), and surfaces that are either saturated or inundated with water for a specified period of time.

Policy 6.9.2 Prevent adverse impacts to wetland functions by controlling all activities that could potentially affect wetland ecosystems whether the activity is located within or adjacent to shorelines jurisdictional wetlands or their buffers. Policy 6.9.3 Encourage in -kind replacement of functional wetland values as the preferred mitigation. Where in- kind replacement is not feasible or practical due to the characteristics of the existing wetland, provide ecological resources of equal or greater value, preferably within the same hydrologic sub -basin. Policy 6.9.4 Coordinate proposals for mitigation, creation, or enhancement with appropriate resource agencies to ensure adequate design and consistency with local, state and federal regulatory requirements. Policy 6.9.5 Develop wetland education programs to increase awareness of the importance of wetlands and to inform the citizenry of protective wetland regulations. The City of Port Townsend should distribute wetland education materials to the public, including schools, landowners, and developers in the Port Townsend area.

An attractive destination for travelers because of the geography and historic setting, it is also a stop along the state highway linking to Whidbey Island and points north and east. The State Parks, Centrum, and the Wooden Boat Festival, among others, attract large numbers of visitors from far and wide annually. Inarguably, the economic vitality of the City is bolstered by the public access to and enjoyment of the shorelines. Shoreline public access is the physical ability of the general public to reach and touch the water's edge or the ability to have a view of the water and the shoreline from upland locations. There are a variety of types of public access, including docks and piers, boat launches, pathways and trails, promenades, street ends, picnic areas, beach walks, viewpoints and others. An important goal of the Shoreline Management Act is to protect and enhance public access to the state's shorelines. Specifically, the SMA states: RCW 90.58.020: "[T] he public's opportunity to enjoy the physical and aesthetic qualities of natural shorelines of the state shall be preserved to the greatest extent feasible consistent with the overall best interest of the state and the people generally. "Alterations of the natural conditions of the shorelines of the state, in those limited instances when authorized, shall be given priority for... development that will provide an opportunity for substantial numbers of people to enjoy the shorelines of the state." Public access and use of the shoreline is supported, in part, by the Public Trust Doctrine. The essence of the doctrine is that the waters of the state are a public resource owned by and available to all citizens equally for the purposes of navigation, conducting commerce, fishing, recreation and similar uses and that this trust is not invalidated by private ownership of the underlying land. The doctrine limits public and private use of tidelands and other shorelands to protect the public's right to use the waters of the state. The Public Trust Doctrine does not allow the public to trespass over privately owned uplands to access the tidelands. It does, however, protect public use of navigable water bodies. Requiring public access on privately owned property as a condition of development has been the subject of considerable legal review. Our state Constitution and the U.S. Constitution provide both the authority for conducting the activities necessary to carry out the Shoreline Management Act and significant limitations on that authority. While the SMA stresses the need for public access, our state and the U.S. Constitution provide for protection of certain private property rights. Where public access is required as a permit condition, the courts have stated that there must be a rational and roughly proportionate connection between the project's impact on public access and the public access requirement. Certain state statutes, such as RCW 82.02.020, also impose limitations on the regulation of private property. 7.2 Background This Public Access Chapter is preceded by several planning efforts to maintain and enhance public access to the shoreline in Port Townsend. The public access policies and strategies included in this Master Program build on those established in past planning documents. Relevant policies and development guidelines from two r.e.tire. d e�4+e6e-plans, the 1990 Port Townsend Urban Waterfront Plan and the 1992 Comprehensive Public Access Plan, dw+v-& laeegw..fr,e, incorporated into this Master Pro ram clu!rin tr7e 2i1C17 u! relate.

The Urban Waterfront Plan specifically encouraged provisions for a "Waterwalk Trail" route. 1992 Comprehensive Public Access Plan - In keeping with the special character of Port Townsend, the 1992 Comprehensive Public Access Plan intended to celebrate the special qualities found along the waterfront by recommending modest access improvements coordinated with existing informal trails, street ends and access points. The 1992 Comprehensive Public Access Plan also included specific design guidelines intended to help developers and permit administrators in providing well -designed public access improvements. Following are three additional plans implementing public access provisions that remain in effect and e4;444&2,r,e, implemented in concert with this Shoreline Master Program include: Gateway Development Plan —Adopted by the City Council in August 1993, the Gateway Plan identifies specific transportation improvements for capital development and establishes development guidelines for the Sims Way/S.R. 20 corridor from the Port Townsend City limits to the Washington State Ferry Terminal. Guidelines within the Gateway plan focus on traffic safety, streetscape improvements and aesthetics, and economic vitality. Non -Motorized Transportation Plan (NMTP) —A functional plan, expressly required by the City's Comprehensive Plan, the N MTP is guides and promotes the development of improved facilities for pedestrians (including those in wheel chairs), bicyclists, and transit users. It is primarily a transportation plan that seeks to identify a network of pedestrian walkways, and bikeways to connect neighborhoods with parks, schools, commercial areas, and other destinations. Enhancement of recreational opportunities is a secondary benefit that accrues from the NMTP Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan —Also a functional plan, required by the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Plan documents park, recreation, and open space needs. The plan provides focus and direction for future development of programs, facilities and funding sources. 7.3 Public Access Policies General Policies Policy 7.3.1 Seek to maintain and enhance public access, both physical and visual, throughout the City's shoreline. Access should be provided for a range of users including pedestrians, bicyclists, boaters and, to the extent feasible, people with disabilities. Access opportunities should be varied, ranging from urban water walks to viewing platforms of natural areas. Policy 7.3.2 Encourage the use of public access facilities to actively educate and inform the public on the importance of environmental protection of the shoreline jurisdiction. Work in partnership with local entities (e.g., Jefferson Marine Resources Committee, WSU Jefferson Extension, Port Townsend Marine Science Center, North Olympic Salmon Coalition, Jefferson Conservation District, Hood Canal Coordinating Council, and others) to implement this policy. Policy 7.3.3 Locate and design public access in a manner that does not interfere with ecological functions or wildlife habitat. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 125/267 Policy 7.3.4 Link recreational and public access opportunities together via trails, beach walks and water routes whenever appropriate. Where practical, access points link to non -motorized transportation routes, such as bicycle and hiking paths, and kayak/canoe routes. Policy 7.3.5 Along the Historic Waterfront and Urban environments, seek a public pedestrian walkway system (dubbed urban water walk) utilizing a combination of natural beaches, pathways, piers, wharves, street -ends, sidewalks, stairways, or other improvements. Although it may not be feasible for the walkway system to be continuous along the water's edge throughout the entire area, it should promote quality pedestrian access to and along major portions of the waterfront. The public's ability to physically walk along the beach is a priority and thus extending boardwalks over the beach should be limited. Recommendations for the urban water walk are included in the 2007 Shoreline Public access :nhance.r�ent I'm ect Recormenclati .n.........- - errsx- ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................I..................................................................................- Policy 7.3.6 Incorporate public access provisions into the review and approval of all public and private development projects including land divisions. Exceptions may be considered for the following: a. Single-family dwelling units; b. Where deemed inappropriate due to health, safety and environmental concerns; and C. Restoration projects. Policy 7.3.7 Require new development that impacts public access to mitigate through the provision of on - site visual and physical public access, unless such access is shown to be incompatible due to reasons of safety, security, or impact to the shoreline. In lieu of on -site improvements, the Shoreline Administrator may allow for off -site improvements if said improvements would provide a greater public benefit (WAC 173-26-221 (4)(c) and (d)). Policy 7.3.8 Preserve and enhance public views from the shoreline upland areas. Enhancement of views should not be construed to mean excessive removal of native vegetation that partially impairs views. (See Section 9.3, Chapter 9, Alteration of Natural Landscape— Clearing, Grading and Vegetation Removal). Policy 7.3.9 Foster public access through a variety of approaches including purchase of key segments, encouraging public and private partnerships, and working with developers to explain the benefits of incorporating public access and recreation. Beachwalks Policy 7.3.10 Preserve Beachwalks as unimproved public access. Beachwalks are unmarked sections of intertidal land upon which the public has rights of passage in accordance with the Public Trust Doctrine. Beachwalks by definition are usually not passable on a 24-hour basis due to tidal action. Street Ends The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Commented [A122]: Checklist 6 Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 126/267 Policy 7.3.11 Encourage the use of street ends and other publicly owned or controlled lands to increase public access to shoreline areas. Policy 7.3.12 Develop street end access and viewpoints. Improvements to and linkages between these street - ends should be determined by the physical characteristics of the shorelines, existing development patterns, potential for structural improvements, and other factors relevant to developing a continuous pedestrian system. Street ends appropriate for shoreline access/viewpoints include but are not limited to: a. South shore: Thayer, Decatur, Kearney, Gaines, Scott, Walker, Calhoun, Tyler, Adams, Quincy, and Monroe Streets; b. East shore: Clay, Taft, Reed, W Street; C. North shore: Gise Street, Cook Avenue, and Elmira Street; Policy 7.3.13 Ensure that use of street ends for parking does not physically block public access to the shoreline or degrade the scenic qualities of the City as viewed from the water. (See Parking Facilities, Section 8.11, Chapter 8) Policy 7.3.14 Identify and bring into compliance uses that unlawfully encroach on public access areas, unless a street use agreement has been made between the City of Port Townsend and the proponent of the use. Policy 7.3.15 Develop a prioritized list of improvements to street ends. Cost effectiveness shall be a key element in prioritizing the proposed improvements. Recommended street end improvements are provided in the 2007 Shoreline Public access I:: nhancerv�en l'rajec,t,,,,, ........................................................................................................................................................................................1..........1.................. Rec.arvi}me.ndat%a.rls.A f o -C. Design Policy 7.3.16 Public access improvements should be designed and constructed to: a. Look and "feel" welcoming to the public and be usable by the greatest number and diversity of people including, to the extent possible, the physically handicapped. b. Connect to public areas, street -ends and other pedestrian or public thoroughfares. C. Be as close as possible to the water's edge while preserving the natural character of the shoreline and protecting ecological functions and processes of shorelines and/or their associated wetlands. d. Be compatible with the surrounding character and appropriate for the anticipated intensity of use. In general, the higher the intensity of development and use, the more formal and durable the improvements should be. e. Enhance PortTownsend's character, including the historic and economic activity of downtown, the marine industry heritage associated most strongly with ports, and the high quality natural areas. f. Avoid conflicts with water -dependent uses. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 127/267 g. Provide for public safety and to minimize potential impacts to private property and individual privacy and security. h. Require a low level of operation and maintenance. i. Ensure that construction (i.e., structures, trails and access pathways) incorporates environmentally sensitive design and materials (e.g., use non -toxic, natural materials). Access to Kah Tai Lagoon and Chinese Gardens Policy 7.3.17 Encourage viewpoints along the shoreline of Kah Tai Lagoon and Chinese Gardens; however, the needs of wildlife, including migratory waterfowl, should be the primary consideration in their location and design. Policy 7.3.18 Limit public access to Kah Tai Lagoon and Chinese Gardens to passive recreation such as walking, bicycling, and wildlife viewing in designated areas (e.g., trails and viewpoints). Policy 7.3.19 Encourage trail and access restrictions to Kah Tai Lagoon and Chinese Gardens, such as, but not limited to: pet leash requirements, requirement to clean pet waste, hours of use, available trash cans, etc. to reduce potential environmental damage. 7.4 Development Regulations General Requirements DR-7.4.1 Developments, uses, and activities shall be designed and operated to avoid blocking, reducing, or adversely interfering with the public's visual or physical access to the water and the shorelines. DR-7.4.2 Except as provided in regulations ............DR: and,DR,_7.4.5, shoreline substantial developments or conditional uses shall provide public access where any of the following conditions are present: a. Where a development or use will create increased demand for public access to the shoreline, the development or use shall provide public access to mitigate this impact. b. Where a development or use will interfere with an existing public access way, the development or use shall provide public access to mitigate this impact. Developments may interfere with accesses on their development site by blocking access or by discouraging use of existing on -site or nearby access. C. Where this Master Program permits a use that is not a priority shoreline use under the Shoreline Management Act (see definition of "Priority Use") on a shoreline of the state, public access provisions may be required in exchange for flexible use standards. d. Where a use or development will interfere with a public use of lands or waters subject to the public trust doctrine, the development shall provide public access to mitigate this impact. DR-7.4.3 Required public access may include the preservation of shoreline views, the establishment of public access easements to and along the shoreline, enhancement of an adjacent street -end or park or other consideration commensurate with the degree of impact caused by the development. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 128/267 DR-7.4.4 Public access is not required if, the applicant can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the City, that constitutional and or statutory limitations would be violated. DR-7.4.5 Alternatives to on -site, physical access to the shoreline maybe approved if the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction oft he City that one or more oft he following conditions exist: a. Unavoidable health or safety hazards to the public exist which cannot be prevented by any practical means; b. Access is not feasible due to the configuration of existing parcels and structures, such that access areas are blocked in such a way that cannot be reasonably remedied by the proposed development; C. Inherent security requirements of the proposed development or use cannot be satisfied through the application of alternative design features or other solutions; d. The cost of providing on -site access, easement, or an alternative amenity is unreasonably disproportionate to the total long-term cost of the proposed development; e. Unacceptable environmental harm which cannot be mitigated, such as damage to spawning areas or nesting areas, will result from the public access; or f. Significant undue and unavoidable conflict between the proposed access and adjacent uses would occur and cannot be mitigated. Provided further, that the applicant has first demonstrated and the City has determined that all reasonable alternatives have been exhausted, including but not limited to: a. Regulating access by such means as limiting hours of use to daylight hours. b. Designing separation of uses and activities, with such means as fences, terracing, hedges, and landscaping. DR-7.4.6 When allowed under DR-7.4.5, alternative shoreline access must result in an equal or greater public benefit. Alternatives may include but are not limited to: a. Publicly accessible rooftop decks. b. Off -site public access, such as improvements to a nearby street end, an off -site viewpoint, or a trail system, purchase of land or an easement at a location appropriate for future access improvements. C. A payment in lieu agreement with the City in accordance with RCW 82.02.020 (relating to fees associated with development). DR-7.4.7 Off -site public access, when required, must meet the same standards and requirements as on - site public access. DR-7.4.8 In providing visual access to the shoreline, the native vegetation shall not be excessively removed either by clearing or by topping. (Note: Trimming of trees and vegetation may be allowed, pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Master Program). DR-7.4.9 When required, public access sites shall be fully developed and available for public use at the time of occupancy or use of the development or activity, except where the decision maker The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 129/267 determines an appropriate mechanism for delayed public access implementation is necessary for practical reasons. If on- or over- the water, development shall be constructed to minimize interference with physical access along the beach and views from surrounding properties, to the shoreline and adjoining waters, including locating structures as far landward as possible. Physical Access and Easements DR-7.4.10 Where on -site physical access is appropriate, the development shall dedicate, improve, and provide maintenance for a pedestrian easement that provides area sufficient to ensure usable access to and along the shoreline for the general public. DR-7.4.11 Public access easements shall be designed to accommodate the anticipated intensity of use, generally ranging from a minimum twelve -foot width easement in less traveled residential areas to a minimum 25-foot width in more intensely urbanized areas. Where deemed necessary to protect environmental functions, the easement shall accommodate a buffer of native vegetation between the OHWM and the public access walkway/viewpoint. DR-7.4.12 A reduced width access easement may be allowed to facilitate redevelopment of existing structures that encroach into the easement area, provided that the easement and design of the access is sufficient to provide safe access or alternative shoreline access is provided. DR-7.4.13 Public access easements and permit conditions shall be recorded in an appropriate manner, such as on the deed where applicable or on the face of a plat or short plat as a condition running in perpetuity with the land. Said recording with the Auditor's office shall occur at the time of permit approval (RCW 58.17.110; relating to subdivision approval or disapproval) and prior to the issuance of any land disturbing or construction permits. DR-7.4.14 The standard state approved logo or other approved signs that indicate the public's right of access and hours of access shall be constructed, installed, and maintained by the applicant in conspicuous locations at public access sites. Signs should be designed to distinguish between public and private areas. In accordance with the regulations in this section, signs controlling or restricting public access may be approved as a condition of permit approval. DR-7.4.15 Future actions by the applicant or other parties shall not diminish the usefulness or value of the public access site. Design DR-7.4.16 Public access sites shall be connected directly to the nearest public area (e.g., street, public park, or adjoining public access easement), typically the nearest public area. Where connections are not currently possible, the site shall be designed to accommodate logical future connections. In either case, the design shall take into consideration the priority placed on protecting physical access along the beach (i.e., boardwalk connections that interfere with physical access along the adjoining beach area are discouraged). DR-7.4.17 Public access sites shall be made barrier free for the physically disabled, where feasible, and designed consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007; Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 130/267 DR-7.4.18 Public access landscape design shall use predominantly native vegetation (i.e., 80% or greater), particularly drought -resistant and saline tolerant plant species. Landscape buffers may be required where desirable to provide public/private space separation. 1311-7.4.I19I Public access shall be designed to achieve no net loss of ecological functions.

For example "formal" (e.g. concrete sidewalks, colonnade) elements in the downtown or "informal" design elements (e.g. log benches, dune grass and gravel paths) in the North Beach neighborhood. b. Durable, capable of withstanding exposure to the elements; and C. Wherever financially feasible and practical, environmentally friendly materials and technology in such things as building materials, paved surfaces, porous pavement, etc., shall be used. Public/Private Separation DR-7.4.20 Public access facilities shall look and feel welcoming to the public, and not appear as an intrusion into private property. DR-7.4.21 Natural elements such as logs, grass, shrubs, and elevation separations are encouraged as means to define the separation between public and private space. DR-7.4.22 New multi -family residential development bordering public space designed for shoreline access shall be at least 3-feet higher than adjacent pathways to provide a visual privacy separation between uses (i.e., the grade separation may not be required for sidewalks on the upland side of a residence). Amenities DR-7.4.23 Furniture used in public access areas shall be appropriate for the proposed level of development, and the character of the surrounding district. For example, large urban projects should provide formal benches of the type found in the Main Street Streetscape Design Guidebook (adopted by Ordinance 2143, 1-17- 89); for smaller projects in less -developed districts, simpler, less formal benches, or suitable alternatives would be appropriate. DR-7.4.24 The City may require the installation of benches, bicycle racks, pet waste, garbage and recycling receptacles, educational signage, and other street furniture at shoreline public access points commensurate with the degree of project impact. Where required, a. Benches shall be set back from a walkway or path so pedestrians will still have room to walk by when the benches are in use. At least four (4) feet of unobstructed pathway width The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 131/267 should remain where benches are placed on pathways. Benches may be built without backs and should be at least 4 to 5 feet in length. b. Provisions for maintenance sk i 4c-are„ required as a condition of permit approval. C. Educational signage should be used to identify unique natural features, maritime uses and historical landmarks. Parking DR-7.4.25 Parking associated with Public Access shall comply with applicable parking requirements in Chapter 8, Specific Uses, Section 8.11. Section 8.11 includes specific development regulations for Vista parking facilities. Southern Shoreline DR-7.4.26 Public access pathways in the Urban, Historic Waterfront, Boat Haven and Point Hudson environments should be sited to maximize views of the water and access along the water's edge. DR-7.4.27 Improvements within the Historic Waterfront,D si-'nat,%ar7-are subject to the design guidelines codified in Chapter& 17.30 PTMC. Improvements westerly of the ferry terminal should also be reviewed for compatibility and consistency with the urban design guidelines set forth in the Gateway Development Plan. Kah Tai Lagoon and Chinese Gardens DR-7.4.28 New development associated with providing access to Kah Tai Lagoon or Chinese Gardens, such as parking and restrooms, shall be located outside of the shoreline jurisdiction area to the extent feasible. DR-7.4.29 Where public access is to be provided at Kah Tai Lagoon or Chinese Gardens, the following requirements shall apply: a. The trail shall be no wider than 8 feet, plus 1-foot gravel shoulders, for a maximum width of 10 feet. b. Where feasible, taking into account the location of available public rights -of -way, new trail alignments shall be placed toward the landward edge of wetland buffers, except to provide direct access to the water or viewing platforms. C. When within wetlands or their required buffers mitigation will be required per Chapter 6, Environmental Protection,- and- .. e, Cky-',&Cf iiea&4reaA:ar�� watiic u d. Restoration/mitigation within the wetland buffer between the trail and the ordinary highwater mark shall typically be in place prior to or in concert with construction of the trail.

The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 132/267 Chapter 8 `specific Use Policies and Development Regulations 8.1 1ntrod uaction Development and use proposals may involve a number of uses and shoreline modifications and must comply with the policies and regulations for each. For example, uses associated with a new marina may include boat launches, industrial and port facilities, parking facilities, and recreational facilities. Construction of a marina may involve numerous shoreline modifications, including dredging, dredge spoil disposal, a jetty, and perhaps laare4%46;%II. Each project is reviewed for compliance with the applicable "use" policies and regulations in this Chapter and with the applicable "modification" policies and regulations in Chapter 9. All shoreline developments and uses must comply with the policies and standards of this Master Program whether or not a shoreline substantial development permit is required. Specific conditions that ensure such compliance may be attached as a condition of permit approval. Shoreline uses specifically listed as "prohibited" shall not be eligible for consideration as a shoreline variance or shoreline conditional use permit. However, if the use is permitted, deviations from the minimum performance standards may be approved under a shoreline variance unless specifically stated otherwise. The performance standards contained herein augment standards established through other land development regulations. Where conflict arises between these and other applicable controls, the regulations that provide more protection to the shoreline area shall apply. This chapter provides specific policies and regulations for the following types of specific usesa..s 11stec1I2,e,1,2..

The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) 8.7 Industrial and Port Facilities Page 141/267 Industry applies to those businesses or uses involved in the production, processing, manufacturing, or fabrication of goods. Warehousing and storage of materials or products is considered part of the industrial process. Water - dependent industries are those that require location on the shoreline by reason of the nature of their business. Ports are a specialized subcategory of general industrial use. Port facilities are centers of water- borne traffic and commerce. Industry and ports are both covered in this section. Port and industrial developments are often associated with a number of uses and modifications that are identified separately in this Master Program (e.g., parking, dredging). Each use activity and every type of shoreline modification should be carefully identified and reviewed for compliance with all applicable sections. Port and industrial facilities are intensive and have the potential to negatively impact the shoreline environment. When impacts cannot be avoided, impacts must be mitigated to assure no net loss of ecological function necessary to sustain shoreline resources. Please refer to Chapter 6, Environmental Protection. Policies Policy 8.7.1 Reserve shorelines that are particularly suitable for water -dependent and water -related industrial development for these uses. Suitable shorelines have few environmental limitations, such as critical areas. Industrial uses are encouraged to locate in areas contaminated by past uses thus, allowing for environmental cleanup/restoration to be incorporated into development plans. Policy 8.7.2 Prohibit non -water -dependent industrial developments over water. Policy 8.7.3 Require new industrial development to provide physical and visual access to shorelines whenever possible, consistent with constitutional and statutory limitations, and provided such access does not interfere with industrial operations or endanger public health and safety. Policy 8.7.4 Encourage or require cooperative use of docks, cargo handing, storage, parking, and other accessory facilities among private or public entities in shoreline industrial areas. Policy 8.7.5 Ensure that land transportation and utility corridors serving ports and water -related industry follow the guidelines provided under the sections dealing with utilities and transportation. Where feasible, transportation and utility corridors should be located upland to reduce conflicts with industrial operations. Development Regulations General DR-8.7.1 Only water -dependent industry and water -related industry 4al11 e� l..2 permitted in the shoreline jurisdiction. DR-8.7.2 Over -the -water construction of non -water -dependent industrial uses is prohibited. This provision is not intended to preclude the development of docks; piers or boating facilities that are necessary for the operation of a water -dependent industrial use must be located, designed, and operated in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Master Program. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007; Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 142/267 DR-8.7.3 Storage and/or disposal of industrial wastes are prohibited within shoreline jurisdiction, unless specifically listed herein. DR-8.7.4 The following uses may be permitted as a conditional use: a. Bulk storage of oil, fuel, chemicals, or hazardous materials, on either a temporary or a permanent basis, provided that secondary containment and an emergency spill response plan are included in the proposal. b. Wastewater treatment and reclamation systems accessory to a permitted use (also see "Utilities"), provided that i. Alternate inland areas are unavailable and, ii. The proposed location, design and operation are compatible with existing and planned water -oriented uses. Design DR-8.7.5 Industrial and port facilities shall be located, designed, constructed, and operated so as to minimize impacts to shoreline resources and unnecessary interference with the right of adjacent property owners, as well as adjacent shoreline or water uses. To this end, applications for industrial/port facilities must demonstrate conformance with the following criteria. The proposal shall: a. Comply with all federal, state, regional, and local requirements regarding air and water quality including but not limited to those contained in Chapter 6, Environmental Protection. No pollution of air by fly -ash, dust, vapors, odors, smoke, or other substances shall be permitted that are harmful to health, animals, vegetation, or other property, or that can cause excessive soiling. b. Incorporate adequate buffers or greenbelts to protect adjacent non -industrial uses. All new or expanded industrial development shall be set back and buffered from adjacent shoreline properties that are used for or zoned for non -industrial purposes. As set forth in Section 5.13.19, such buffering or greenbelt at Point Hudson shall include landscaping, shrubs, trees and native vegetation as found to be appropriate depending on the impact, and shall be planted along the common boundary and grow to not more than 12 feet or less than 8 feet in height, nor less than 10 feet in width, within five years, unless an alternate landscaping plan that better meets the goal of Section 5.13 of this SMP is approved by the Shoreline Administrator that better meets the goal of Section 5.13 of this SMP. In all other instances, buffering shall be consistent with the provisions of PTMC Section 17.22.020(C). Buffers shall not be used for storage of industrial equipment or materials, or for waste disposal. Buffers may be used for outdoor recreation if consistent with public access provisions. C. Maximize joint use of accessory facilities -industrial/port facilities shall be designed and operated to promote joint use of over -water and accessory facilities such as piers, docks, storage, and parking whenever practicable. d. Protect public views of harbor areas and other recognized or officially delineated vistas. Private views of the shoreline, although considered during the review process, are not expressly protected. Property owners concerned with the protection of views from private property are encouraged to obtain view easements, purchase intervening property and/or seek other similar private means of minimizing view obstruction.

Shoreline modification activities are structures or actions that permanently change the physical configuration or quality of the shoreline, particularly at the point where land and water meet. Shoreline modifications include, but are not limited to, s,j7,ol e J.r] e s t a b.11.1.z ar.12r7_structures such as bulkheads, ,a� piers and cl,ac,ks,, and actions such as clearing, grading, and removing vegetation. Generally, shoreline modifications are undertaken for the following reasons: a. To prepare for a shoreline use; b. To support an upland use; or C. To provide shoreline stabilization or defense from erosion. A single shoreline use may require several different shoreline modification activities. For example, a new boat storage yard may require clearing and grading of the upland yard and construction of a jetty and docks in the water. Can a shoreline modification be proposed without an associated use? I Commented [A141]: Note to Codifier: Please show all que.sLons in bold text as provided here. Under this Master Program, speculative shoreline modifications not tied to or required as part of a specific permitted use, an existing legal development or necessary to ensure the publics health and safety are prohibited. (Note that permitted uses include restoration and habitat enhancement pursuant to Chapter 5 of this Master Program.) Proposals for shoreline modifications are to be reviewed for compliance with the applicable "use" policies and regulations in Chapter 8 and the applicable "modification" policies and regulations of this Chapter. Can a :2¢7cnire..ii.12 variance be granted to construct a shoreline modification listed as "prohibited" or to deviate from the performance standards? Shoreline modifications listed as "prohibited" are not eligible for consideration as a shoreline variance. Deviations from the minimum performance standards may be approved under a shoreline variance unless specifically stated otherwise. 9.2 General Policies and Regulations Policies applicable to all shoreline modifications Policy 9.2.1 Locate and design all new development in a manner that prevents or minimizes the need for shoreline modifications far ti7e clesi r7 life o.. t ..e iro'ect.

Policy 9.2.3 Regulate shoreline modifications to assure that the modifications individually and cumulatively do not result in a net loss of ecological functions. Mitigation may be required to meet the no net loss standard. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 162/267 Policy 9.2.4 Give preference to those types of shoreline modifications that have a lesser impact on ecological functions and require mitigation of identified impacts resulting from shoreline modifications. Policy 9.2.5 Incorporate all feasible measures to protect ecological shoreline functions and ecosystem -wide processes in the placement and design of shoreline modifications.

Regulations applicable to all shoreline modifications DR-9.2.1 Shoreline modification activities that do not support a permitted shoreline use are considered "speculative' and are prohibited by this Master Program, unless it can be demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Shoreline Administrator that such activities are necessary and in the public interest for the maintenance of shoreline environmental resource values. DR-9.2.2 Structural shoreline modification measures shall be permitted only if nonstructural measures are unable to achieve the same purpose. Nonstructural measures considered shall include alternative site designs, increased setbacks, relocation, and bioengineering. DR-9.2.3 Shoreline modification activities, with the exception of shoreline restoration or enhancement efforts, are prohibited in wetlands, and on undeveloped spits, hooks, bars, barrier beaches, or similar accretion terminals or accretion shore forms. DR-9.2.4 Proponents of shoreline modification projects shall obtain all applicable federal and state permits and shall meet all permit requirements. 9.3 Alteration of Natural Landscape - Clearing, Grading and Vegetation Removal (See also Environmental Protection - Water Quality- Application of Pesticides/Herbicides and Fertilizers) Protection of the shoreline resources is an overarching goal of the Shoreline Management Act and this master program. Alteration of the natural landscape can cause changes in the structure and functioning of shoreline habitats and alter use of the habitats by fish, shellfish, birds, marine mammals and other organisms. It can destabilize bluffs, increase erosion, siltation, runoff/flooding, change drainage patterns, reduce flood storage capacity and damage habitat. To minimize impacts to shoreline resources, this master program regulates alteration of the landscape (including but not limited to clearing, grading, and vegetation removal). Although clearing may not always be consideredl"development" that triggers a substantial development permit, clearing and vegetation -Commented [A143]: Pertains to ECY Checklist 2017e removal as activities that impact shoreline resources are regulated b y t,jlis Maste,r,,,,f'ral,rary ,_ r7cl ti7e f?a,rt V awrisericl,,,, ..... ..... ... .....

Commented [A144] Pertains to Checklist 14a Clearing and grading are activities associated with developing property for a particular use including commercial, industrial, residential, or public use. Specifically, "clearing" involves the destruction or removal of vegetation, including but not limited to, root material removal and/or topsoil removal. "Grading" involves the physical alteration of the earth's surface and/or surface drainage pattern by either recontouring, excavating or filling. defined as placement of dry fill on existing dry or existing wet areas to create new land or raise the elevation, is addressed in Section 9.6, d,. 441i lr: ill. Vegetation removal means the removal or alteration of trees, shrubs, and/or ground cover by clearing, grading, cutting, burning, chemical means, or other activity that causes significant ecological impacts to functions provided The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 163/267 by such vegetation. Trees, shrubs and groundcovers can maintain slopes and reduce erosion from surface water, shallow groundwater and, to some extent, coastal processes. Field and laboratory studies have demonstrated the cause -and effect relationship of vegetation removal and either increased rates of erosion or higher frequencies of slope failure. Vegetation removal is typically associated with "landscaping" improvements or limbing to create or enhance views. (Detailed definitions are provided in Chapter 15, Definitions). Policies Policy 9.3.1 Prohibit speculative clearing, grading or vegetation removal. Allow alteration of the natural landscape only in association with existing legal uses or a new permitted shoreline use or development. Exceptions may be granted for vegetation removal in association with an inhabited legal, non -conforming structure, noxious weed abatement, maintenance or maintenance/restoration of historic viewsheds on public lands within a National Landmark Historic District (e.g. viewsheds from the bunkers in Fort Worden State Park). Policy 9.3.2 Limit alteration of the natural landscape to the minimum necessary to accommodate the shoreline development or a landscape scheme developed in conjunction with the shoreline development.

If on -site mitigation habitat is not possible, off -site mitigation shall be permitted at a minimum replacement ratio of one -to -one -and -a -quarter (1:1.25) (habitat lost to habitat replaced). The revegetation landscaping required by this regulation shall meet the following standards: f. At the time of planting, shrubs must be eighteen (18) inches high. Shrubs should be planted such that within two years the shrubs will cover at least sixty percent (60%) of the area that would be covered when the shrubs have attained a mature size. At the time of planting, deciduous trees must be at least two (2) inches in caliper as measured one (1) foot above grade, and coniferous trees must be at least five (5) feet in height. g. The applicant may be required to install and implement an irrigation system to insure survival of vegetation planted. For remote areas lacking access to a water system, an alternative method (e.g., hand watering) may be approved. h. For a period of two (2) years after initial planting, the applicant shall replace any unhealthy or dead vegetation planted as part of an approved landscape plan. DR-9.3.7 Trimming of trees and vegetation is allowed within shoreline setback areas without a landscape plan, provided: a. This provision is not interpreted to allow clearing of vegetation, b. Trimming does not include topping, stripping or imbalances; a minimum of 60% of the original crown shall be retained to maintain tree health, C. Trimming does not directly impact the nearshore functions and values including fish and wildlife habitat, d. Trimming is not within a wetland or wetland buffer, and e.

Dredging is the removal or displacement of earth such as gravel, sand, mud, or silt from lands covered by water. Lands covered by water include tidelands, marinas and wetlands. Dredging is normally done for, and in this Master Program must be associated with, a specific purpose or use such as maintaining navigation channels, developing/expanding marinas, constructing bridge footings, laying submarine cable and in some cases aquaculture (See Aquaculture, Section `:4..ar7,cl,,,A .0 ati,c,_C1es,i, ;;r7, tl,ar7,_Secti.on,5.6). Dredging to restore pre-existing contours within a designated and authorized navigation channel or basin is considered normal maintenance (i.e. maintenance dredging) and is exempt from the requirement for a substantial development permit. Dredging is only maintenance where there is a designated and authorized facility such as a marina, federal navigation channel or a berth authorized by permit. If operations expand the channel or basin, a permit is required even if the marina or similar project has been operating for years. Dredge spoil is the material removed by dredging. Dredge spoil disposal is the depositing of dredged materials on land or into water bodies for the purpose of either creating new or additional lands or for disposing of the dredge material (See also, ffBddl,;i,l,l, Section 9.6). Policies Policy 9.5.1 Restrict maintenance dredging associated with an authorized use (though exempt from a substantial development permit) to maintaining previously dredged and/or existing authorized location, depth, and width. If operations expand the channel or basin, a permit is required even if the marina or similar use has been operating for years. Policy 9.5.2 Site and design new development to avoid or, if that is not possible, to minimize the need for new and maintenance dredging. Policy 9.5.3 Allow dredging for the purpose of establishing, expanding, or relocating or reconfiguring permitted water -dependent uses (e.g., navigation channels and marina basins) where necessary for assuring safe and efficient accommodation of navigational uses. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 170/267 Policy 9.5.4 Prohibit dredging waterward of the ordinary high-water mark (OHWM) for the primary purpose of obtaining fill material, except when the material is necessary for the restoration of ecological functions. When allowed, the site where the fill is to be placed must be located waterward of the ordinary high-water mark. The project must be either associated with a Model Toxic Controls Act (MTCA) or Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) habitat restoration project or, if approved through a shoreline conditional use permit, any other significant habitat enhancement project. Policy 9.5.5 Plan and conduct dredge and dredge disposal operations in a manner that avoids or minimizes interference with navigation and significant ecological impacts. Impacts, which cannot be avoided, should be mitigated in a manner that assures no net loss of shoreline ecological functions. Policy 9.5.6 Allow dredge spoil disposal: a. In water areas only for habitat improvement to correct problems of material distribution adversely affecting fish and shellfish resources, or where the alternatives of depositing material on land is more detrimental to shoreline resources than depositing it in water areas. b. On land in areas where environmental impacts will not be significant. Policy 9.5.7 Encourage beneficial use of dredge materials (e.g. beach nourishment, capping superfund sites on uplands) as an alternative to deep -water disposal. Development Regulations DR-9.5.1 Maintenance dredging associated with an authorized use, though exempt from a substantial development permit, shall only be conducted upon the completion of a dredge materials management plan for the site based on compliance with the policies and performance standards of this Master Program.

Dredging and dredge spoil disposal in wetlands can occur only for the purposes of enhancing valuable wetland functions. DR-9.5.4 Unless waived by the Shoreline Administrator, applications for shoreline dredging and dredge spoil disposal shall provide, at a minimum, the following information: a. Physical, chemical, and biological analysis of material to be dredged, including material composition, particle size distribution, volume and amount, organic content, source of material, volatile solids, chemical oxygen demand (COD), grease and oil, oxygen and heavy metals, nutrients, sulfides and biological organisms, both permanent and migratory/transitory. b.

DR-9.5.5 Dredging and dredge material disposal shall be done in a manner that avoids or minimizes significant ecological impacts and impacts, which cannot be avoided, shall be mitigated in a manner that assures no net loss of shoreline ecological functions. Analysis of proposed dredging or dredge disposal shall include but is not limited to a review of: a. Conformance with the no net loss standard for ecological processes and functions; b. Potential damage to water quality, fish, shellfish, and other essential biological elements; C. Adverse impacts to natural drainage and circulation patterns, and currents, impacts to properly functioning conditions for proposed, threatened or endangered species or the functions and values of critical areas; d. Potential impacts to natural geohydraulic processes; e. Interference of navigation or use or value of adjacent properties; and f. Compliance with all requirements of applicable regulatory agencies. DR-9.5.6 Proposals for dredging and dredge spoil disposal, when permitted, shall: a. Be kept to the minimum necessary to accommodate the proposed use. b. Include all feasible mitigating measures to protect habitats and to minimize adverse impacts such as turbidity, release of nutrients, heavy metals, sulfides, organic materials, or toxic substances, depletion of oxygen, disruption of food chains, loss of benthic productivity, and disturbance of fish runs and important localized biological communities; C. Be scheduled so as to not materially interfere with the migratory movements of anadromous fish; d. Utilize techniques that cause minimum dispersal and broadcast of bottom material; hydraulic dredging shall be used wherever feasible in preference to agitation dredging; e.

Be found, through analysis by qualified personnel, to be minimally or nonpolluting; and Meet all requirements of applicable regulatory agencies. Additional Standards for Dredge Deposits/Disposal In addition to the regulations above, dredge deposits/disposal shall comply with the following: DR-9.5.7 Dredged soil material may be disposed at approved upland sites. If these upland sites are dry lands and fall within shoreline jurisdiction, the disposal of dredge spoils shall be considered grading and must be consistent with all applicable provisions of this Master Program. If these upland sites are associated wetlands, then the disposal of dredge spoils shall be considered "da dt'4dl;f;%I,I," and must be consistent with all applicable provisions of this Master Program. DR-9.5.8 Water disposal may be permitted if suitable alternatives for land disposal are not available or are infeasible, or if water disposal is proposed and approved for habitat enhancement. DR-9.5.9 When depositing dredge materials in water areas for ecological enhancement, the proposal shall: a. Result in habitat improvement; or b. Correct problems of material distribution adversely affecting fish and shellfish resources; or C. Enhance geohydraulic shore processes by beach feeding. DR-9.5.10 Dredge material disposal sites in water areas should be identified by the City in cooperation with the Washington State Departments of Natural Resources, and Fish and Wildlife. DR-9.5.11 The City may impose reasonable limitations on dredge disposal operating periods and hours and may require provision for buffer strips at land disposal sites. 9.6 ¢-a..t-i (4:� ¢...c die i44[LI.L, is the creation of or addition to the surface of the land by the filling, placement or depositing of sand, soil, or gravel, or other material on land covered by water, or in a wetland, marsh, bog, swamp, or similar water detention area. die i4b41.: ill is normally done for, and in this Master Program must be associated with a specific purpose or use such development of a commercial site, construction of roadways or a jetty.

These actions include structural and nonstructural methods. Nonstructural methods include building setbacks, relocation of the structure to be protected, ground water management, and/or planning and regulatory measures to avoid the need for structural stabilization. Structural methods can be "hard" or "soft". "Hard" structural stabilization measures refer to those with solid, hard surfaces, such as concrete bulkheads. These are static structures traditionally constructed of rock, concrete, wood, metal, or other materials that deflect, rather than absorb, wave energy. "Soft" structural measures rely on softer materials, such as vegetation, drift logs, and gravel. They are intended to absorb wave energy, mimicking the function of a natural beach. Generally, the harder the construction measure, the greater the impact on shoreline processes, including sediment transport, geomorphology, and biological functions. Structural shoreline stabilization methods also aFteirs. orn etlrp}es. result in vegetation removal and damage to near - shore habitat and shoreline corridors. The following methods of shoreline defense are organized from "soft" to "hard". The use of "soft" methods is the preferred "best practices" choice (if non-structural methods cannot be used or are insufficient) when considering shoreline defense works. "Soft" • Vegetation enhancement; • Upland drainage control; • Bioengineering/biotechnical measures; • Beach enhancement; • Anchor trees; and • Gravel enhancement. "Hard" • Rock revetments; • Gabions; • Groins; • Retaining walls and bluff walls; • Bulkheads; and • Seawalls. What constitutes normal repair and maintenance?

The Shoreline Management Act calls for a cooperative enforcement program between local and state government. It provides for both civil and criminal penalties, orders to cease and desist, orders to take corrective action and permit rescission. The choice of enforcement action and the severity of any penalty should be based on the nature of the violation and the damage or risk to the public or to public resources. The existence or degree of bad faith of the persons subject to the enforcement action, the benefits that accrue to the violator, and the cost of obtaining compliance may also be considered. 12.2 Penalties Any person found to have willfully engaged in activities on the City's shorelines in violation of the Shoreline Management Act of 1971 or in violation of the City's Master Program, rules or regulations adopted pursuant thereto shall be subject to the penalty provisions of PTMC 20.10.070 (Civil penalties - Schedules) and 20.10.060 (Criminal penalty). 12.3 Violations Subsequent Development and Building Permits No building permit or other development permit shall be issued for any parcel of land developed or divided in violation of this Master Program. All purchasers or transferees of property shall comply with provisions of the Act and this Master Program and each purchaser or transferee may recover damages from any person, firm, corporation, or agent selling, transferring, or leasing land in violation of the Act or this Master Program including any amount reasonably spent as a result of inability to obtain any development permit and spent to conform to the requirements of the Act or this Master Program as well as costs of investigation, suit, and reasonable attorney's fees occasioned thereby. Such purchaser, transferee, or lessor, as an alternative to conforming their property to these requirements, may rescind the sale, transfer, or lease and recover costs of investigation, litigation and reasonable attorney's fees occasioned thereby from the violator. 12.4 Public and Private Redress 12.4.1 Any person subject to the regulatory program of 4re-,t,his..Master Program who violates any provision of 41& t,j7isMaster Program or the provisions of a Permit issued pursuant thereto shall be liable for all damages to public or private property arising from such violation, including the cost of restoring the affected area to its condition prior to such violation. 12.4.2 The City attorney may bring suit for damages under this section on behalf of the City. Nothing in this section precludes private persons from bringing suit for damages on their own behalf. If liability has been established for the cost of restoring an area affected by violation, the court shall make provisions to assure that restoration will be accomplished within a reasonable time at the expense of the violator. In addition to such relief, including monetary damages, the court, in its discretion, may award attorneys' fees and costs of the suit to the prevailing party.

Some terms used in this Master Program may have a different definition and application under other City of Port Townsend regulations. Words in the singular include the plural, and the plural, the singular. The words "shall" and "will" are mandatory; the word "may" is permissive. Additional definitions applicable to this Master Program and adopted by reference herein, are found in RCW 90.58 and applicable sections of the Washington Administrative Code. The following definitions apply throughout this Program, unless otherwise indicated. If a definition is not included here, the city shall rely on definitions found in applicable citations in the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Washington Administrative Code (WAC), the Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC), and finally a standard dictionary, in that order. In case of conflict with PTMC, definitions within the RCW, WAC, and/or this Master Program shall prevail. 15.2 Definitions: A'to B Abandoned Over -water Structure An over -water structure that has been abandoned and has fallen into a dilapidated state such that reuse of the structure will require repairs equal to or greater than 50% of i 4iits, market value. Abiotic — Not "biotic." Accessory Building A subordinate building attached to or detached from the principal building and used for purposes customarily incidental to the use of the principal building. Accessory buildings include but are not limited to an automobile storage garage, playhouse, laundry room, garden shelter, hobby room and mechanical room. (PTMC—Zoning— January 1, 2005). Accessory Dwelling Unit An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a habitable dwelling unit added to, created within, or detached from and on the same lot with a single family dwelling that provides basic requirements for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation. Accessory Use A water -oriented or non -water -oriented use that is demonstrably subordinate and incidental to a water -oriented use; located on the same lot or in the same building as the water -oriented use; and which functionally supports its activity. Accretion The growth of a beach by the addition of material transported by wind and/or water. Included are such shoreforms as barrier beaches, points, spits, hooks and tombolos.

Artwork As used in this Master Program, artwork means an original creation of visual art including but not limited to sculptures, fountains, ceramic tiles, and earthworks. Murals and structures (such as the Jackson Bequest or Wave Viewing Gallery) are excluded from this definition. See the City's sign code for regulation of murals . te,r17.76 PTMC). See "Structure". Associated Wetlands Those wetlands that are in proximity to and either influence, or are influenced by tidal waters or a lake or stream subject to the Shoreline Management Act (WAC 173-22-030(1)). Backshore The area wetted by storm tides but normally dry between the coastline and the high tide line. It may be a narrow gravel berm below a sea bluff or a broader complex of berms, marshes, meadows, or dunes landward of the high tide line. Bar Similar to spits and hooks, though generally not attached to the mainland during periods of high water. Barrier Beach An accretion shore form of sand and gravel that has been deposited by longshore drift, like storm barriers, in front of bluffs, bays, marshes and estuaries.

Beach feeding The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page218/267 A process by which beach material is deposited at one or several locations in the updrift portion of a driftcell. The material is then naturally transported by a wave's down drift to stabilize or restore eroding beaches or berms. Benthic/Benthos Of or having to do with the bottom of oceans or seas. In biology, "benthos" meaning the organisms living on or in the bottom of oceans, lakes, or streams. Berms A linear mound of sand or gravel that is placed parallel to the shore at or above the ordinary high water mark. This may be a natural or a manmade feature. Best Management Practices (BMPs) BMPs are methods of improving water quality that can have a great effect when applied by numerous individuals. BMPs encompass a variety of behavioral, procedural, and structural measures that reduce the amount of contaminants in stormwater runoff and in receiving waters. The term "best management practices" is typically applied to nonpoint source pollution controls and is considered a subset of the AKART requirement. Bioengineering The practice of using natural vegetative materials to stabilize shorelines and prevent erosion. This may include use of bundles of stems, root systems, or other living plant material, soft gabions, fabric or other soil stabilization techniques, and limited rock toe protection where appropriate. Bioengineering projects often include fisheries habitat enhancement measures in project design (e.g., anchored logs, root wads, etc.). Biota The animals and plants that live in a particular location or region Bioengineering/biotechnical measures Bioengineering is the term given to the practice of using natural vegetative materials to stabilize shorelines and prevent erosion. This may include use of bundles for stems, root systems, or other living plant material; soft gabions, fabric or other soil stabilization techniques; and limited rock toe protection where appropriate. The use of bioengineering as a shoreline stabilization technique is seen as an alternative to riprap, concrete and other structural solutions. Biotic Of or relating to life; especially: caused or produced by living beings. Boat Launch or Ramp Graded slopes, slabs, pads, planks, or rails used for launching boats by means of a trailer, hand, or mechanical device. Boat Lift A mechanical device that can hoist vessels out of the water for storage. These devices are usually located along a Boathouse The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Boathouse Page219/267 A structure designed for storage of vessels located over water or in upland areas.

Its primary purpose is to protect a harbor, moorage, or navigational activity from wave and wind action by creating a Still- water area along the shore. A secondary purpose is to protect the shoreline from wave -caused erosion. Buffer "Buffer" means an area on a landscape adjacent to any critical area which: 1. Physically isolates the critical area from surrounding areas using distance, height, visual and/or sound barriers; 2. Acts to minimize risk to the public from loss of life, well-being or property damage resulting from natural disasters associated with the critical area; Protects the functions and values of the critical area from adverse impacts of adjacent activities; 4. Provides shading, input of organic debris and coarse sediments, room for variation and changes in natural critical area characteristics; Provides habitat for wildlife; and/or Provides protection from harmful intrusion. All of these buffer functions protect the public from losses suffered when the functions and values of critical areas are degraded. (Also See "Setbacks").

Dredging The removal of earth, sand, gravel, silt, or debris from the bottom of stream, river, lake, bay, or other water body and associated wetlands. Drift cell Drift cell is a term used to describe a geographic unit along the shore. Each begins at a sediment source along an eroding shoreline, often at the base of "feeder bluffs". Sediment is transported within the drift cell by currents and wind-blown waves, finally being deposited at an accretion shore form (e.g., spits, sandbars, accretion beach) marking the end of the drift cell. See "Accretion" and "Feeder Bluff'. Driftway The foreshore area that connects a feeder bluff and its accretion from where sand or gravel is deposited by net effect of wave action and longshore drifts. L. Dwelling Any building or portion thereof designed or used primarily for residential occupancy, including single-family dwellings, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and multifamily dwellings, but not including hotels or motels. Dwelling, multifamily A building containing five or more dwelling units, including units that are located one over the other. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Dwelling, single-family Page223/267 In considering shoreline exemptions, single-family dwelling means a structure designed for and occupied exclusively by one family and the household employees of that family (i.e., it does not include duplex, triplex, or fourplex). Ecological Functions "Ecological functions" or "shoreline functions" means the work performed or role played by the physical, chemical, and biological processes that contribute to the maintenance of the aquatic and terrestrial environments that constitute the shoreline's natural ecosystem. See WAC 173-26-,.2.00::201...(2)(c). The beneficial roles served by ecological functions include, but are not limited to, water quality protection and enhancement, fish and wildlife habitat, food chain support, flood storage, conveyance and attenuation, ground water recharge and discharge, erosion control, wave attenuation, protection from hazards, historical and archaeological and aesthetic value protection, educational opportunities, and recreation. These beneficial roles are not listed in order of priority. Functions can be used to help set targets (species composition, structure, etc.) for managed areas, including mitigation sites. Economic Development A development that provides a service, produces a good, retails a commodity, or engages in any other use of activity for the purpose of making financial gain. Ecosystem -wide processes The suite of naturally occurring physical and geologic processes of erosion, transport, and deposition; and specific chemical processes that shape landforms within a specific shoreline ecosystem and determine both the types of habitat and the associated ecological functions. Eligible Buildings For the purposes of the Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program, "eligible buildings' refers to the following buildings in the Point Hudson Shoreline Designation that are allowed to have adaptive uses in a portion of the building: Hospital Main Building Shower Building Emergency An unanticipated and imminent threat to public health, safety, or the environment which requires immediate action within a time too short to allow full compliance with the Master Program.

Or -Alteration of an existing resource to improve or increase its characteristics and processes without degrading other existing functions. Enhancements are to be distinguished from resource creation or restoration projects. Environmental Impacts The effects or consequences of actions on the natural and built environments. Environmental impacts include effects upon the elements of the environment listed in the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) (WAC 197-11-600 and WAC 197-11-444) Environment(s) (N,Ac_Ik212A!n_a,,�_Shoreline Environment(s)) Designations given specific shoreline areas based on the existing development pattern, the biophysical capabilities and limitations, and the goals and aspirations of local citizenry, as part of a Master Program. Erosion The group of natural processes including weathering, dissolution, abrasion, corrosion, and transporting by which earthy or rocky material is removed from any part of the earth's surface. Esplanade A level stretch of ground, especially a public walk or walkway. Estuary That portion of a coastal stream influenced by the tide of marine waters into where it flows and where the seawater is diluted with fresh water derived from land drainage. Exempt Development Certain specific developments as listed in WAC 173-27-040 are exempt from the definition of substantial development and therefore exempt from the substantial development permit process of the SMA. An activity that is exempt from the substantial development provisions of the SMA must still be carried out in compliance with policies and standards of the Act and the local master program. Shoreline Conditional use and/or shoreline variance permits may also still be required even though the activity does not need a s..ho,r,ellri.e substantial development permit (RCW 90.58.030(3e)). Extreme Low Tide The lowest line of the land reached by a receding tide. Fair Market Value "Fair market value" of a development is the open market bid price for conducting the work, using the equipment and facilities, and purchase of the goods, services and materials necessary to accomplish the development. This would normally equate to the cost of hiring a contractor to undertake the development from start to finish, including the cost of labor, materials, equipment and facility usage, transportation and contractor overhead and profit. The fair market value of the development &hal-l-includes, the fair market value of any donated, contributed or found labor, equipment, or materials. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Feasible Page225/267 Pursuant to the Shoreline Guidelines (WAC 173-26), feasible means that an action, such as a development project, mitigation, or preservation requirement, meets all of the following conditions: (a) The action can be accomplished with technologies and methods that have been used in the past in similar circumstances, or studies or tests have demonstrated in similar circumstances that such approaches are currently available and likely to achieve the intended results; (b) The action provides a reasonable likelihood of achieving its intended purpose; and (c) The action does not physically preclude achieving the project's primary intended legal use. In cases where these guidelines require certain actions unless they are proven to be infeasible, the burden of proving infeasibility is on the applicant. In determining an action's infeasibility, the reviewing agency may weigh the action's relative public costs and public benefits, considered in the short- and long-term time frames.

Marshes, Bogs, and Swamps As defined in WAC 17-22-030(5), "marshes, bogs, and swamps" are lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where saturation with water is the dominant factor determining plant and animal communities and soil development. For the purposes of this definition, these areas must have one or more of the following attributes: a) At least periodically, the land supports predominantly hydrophytes; and/or b) The substrate is predominantly undrained hydric soils. Hydrophytes include those plants capable of growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content. Hydric soils include those soils that are wet enough to periodically produce anaerobic conditions, thereby influencing the growth of plants. Master Program The comprehensive management plan for a described shoreline and water surface area and the use regulation together with maps, diagrams, charts, or other descriptive material and text; a statement of desired goals and standards developed in accordance with the policies enunciated in RCW 90.58.020 and its guidelines under WAC 173-14 and 173-16, as amended. Mining The removal of naturally occurring rock, sand, gravel, and minerals from the earth. Mitigation or Mitigation Sequencing The process necessary to avoid, minimize or reduce, or compensate for the environmental impact(s) of a proposal (see WAC 197-11-768fi t;-,1:7 2-64P.G-/,-alb}). Mitigation or mitigation sequencing means the following sequence of steps listed in order of priority, with (a) of this subsection being top priority: a) Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; b) Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts; c) Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment; d) Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations; e) Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and f) Monitoring the impact and the compensation projects and taking appropriate corrective measures. Mixed -use Development Mixed -use developments are projects that include water -dependent uses combined with water -related uses, water -enjoyment uses and/or non -water -oriented uses. Mixed -use developments can be a tool for increased water -dependent activities, civic revitalization, and public access to the shoreline. To encourage mixed -use The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 231/267 projects that achieve a public benefit, special provisions can be included in a master program that offer a potential developer incentives or more latitude than normal master program requirements. In return, the developer's proposal must include elements that further the objectives of he t.hf..Shoreline Management Act and benefit the public. Implicit in the concept of mixed -use provisions is that additional development incentives must be justified by increased and long-term public benefit resulting from the project and that the public benefit must relate to SMA objectives. Generally in mixed -use projects the water -oriented uses and non -revenue recreation uses are "subsidized" by the economic advantages of the other uses in the sense that the water- oriented uses could not be economically developed without support from viable water -enjoyment or non -water -oriented uses. Moorage Any device or structure used to secure a vessel for temporary anchorage, but which is not attached to the vessel (such as a dock or buoy). Moorage Piles Structural members that are driven into the lake bed to serve as a stationary moorage point. They are typically used for moorage of small boats in the absence of, or instead of, a dock or pier. In some cases, moorage piles may be associated with a dock or pier. Mooring Buoy A floating object anchored to the bottom of a water body that provides tie up capabilities for vessels. Multiple -Use The combining of compatible uses within one development. Native Plants or Native Vegetation Plant species that are indigenous to the Olympic Peninsula. Natural A shoreline possessing unique or fragile features, whether natural or cultural, that are totally or essentially unaltered from their natural state or are relatively intolerant of human use other than for passive historical, cultural, scientific, archaeological, or educational activity. Natural or Existing Topography The topography of the lot, parcel, or tract of real property immediately prior to any site preparation or grading, including excavation or filling. Navigable Waters Those waters lying waterward of and below the line of navigability on lakes not subject to tidal flow, or extreme low tide mark in navigable tidal waters, or the outer harbor line where harbor area has been created.

Recreational Facilities Facilities such as parks, trails and pathways, campgrounds, and swim rafts that provide a means for relaxation, play, or amusement. For the purposes of this Master Program, recreational uses are divided into two categories: Water -dependent (e.g., boating facilities, fishing pier, swim rafts) and 2. Non -water -dependent. Non water -dependent recreational uses are further divided into three subcategories based on their relative impact to the shoreline environment: a. High Intensity recreational uses require substantial development/ land modification or large areas of fertilized lawn. Such uses may include but are not limited to camp grounds, sport courts (e.g., tennis/basketball), golf course, sport fields (e.g., ball park), aquatic center, skateboard park. b. Moderate Intensity recreational uses are typified by formal parks for passive recreation (e.g., Chetzamoka and Pope Marine Parks) requiring some modification of natural conditions, limited paving and often including accessory structures (e.g., picnic shelters, restrooms, viewing galleries, gazebos, playground equipment. C. Low intensity recreational uses are passive in nature (e.g., walking, photography, wildlife viewing) and require very minimal alteration of natural conditions. Such uses/modifications may include but are not limited to non -motorized trails, vista points, wildlife viewing areas, picnic tables and benches. Recycling Facilities GE6B> f Ji y a A facility for the collection and/or sorting and storage of recyclable materials generated from domestic or small business sources, such as bottles, cans, paper, cardboard, aluminum, and plastics.

Recycling facilities are further divided into two categories: A. Major recycling facilities include facilities primarily dedicated to the collection, sorting, or purchase and resale of recyclable materials. B. "Minor recycling facilities include bins or other temporary or permanent facilities for the collection of small quantities of recyclable materials to be sorted and/or processed elsewhere.

Restaurant An establishment where food and drink are prepared, served and consumed primarily within the principal building. Restaurants may qualify as a water -enjoyment use when located, designed and operated to assure the public's ability to interact with the shoreline. Water -enjoyment design elements may include the incorporation of outdoor seating areas that are compatible with shoreline public access. Drive-thru restaurants are not considered water - enjoyment uses and are prohibited in the shoreline designation. Restore, restoration or ecological restoration Means the reestablishment or upgrading of impaired ecological shoreline processes or functions. This may be accomplished through measures including, but not limited to, revegetation, removal of intrusive shoreline structures and removal or treatment of toxic materials. Restoration does not imply a requirement for returning the shoreline area to aboriginal or pre -European settlement conditions (WAC 173-26-020(2.7 3 0). Restoration of ecological functions and values, above and beyond that which may be required as mitigation for project impacts, are considered a water -dependent use under this master program. Retrieval Lines A system by which a float or other floating object is retrieved to a pier, dock, or shoreland. Revegetation The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page 239/267 The planting of vegetation to cover any land areas that have been disturbed during construction. This vegetation shall be maintained to insure its survival and shall be consistent with planting requirements of the Port Townsend Landscape Code. Revetment A revetment is a sloped shoreline structure built to protect an existing eroding shoreline or newly placed fill against currents and wave action. Revetments are most commonly built of randomly placed boulders (riprap) but may also be built of sand cement bags, paving, or building blocks, gabions (rock filled wire baskets) or other systems and materials. The principal features of a revetment, regardless of type is a heavy armor layer, a filter layer, and toe protection. See also "bulkheads." Riprap A layer, facing, or protective mound of stone placed on shoulders, slopes, or other such places to protect them from erosion, scour, or sloughing of a structure or embankment; also, the stone so used. Rock Weir A structure made of loose rock that is designed to control sediment movement, water flow, or both. A rock weir adjacent to a shoreline is typically formed by placing rock in a line outward from the shore, with the top of the rock embankment below the water level to restrict current movements parallel to the shore without completely blocking flow. Runoff Water that is not absorbed into the soil but rather flows along the ground surface following the topography. 15.6 Definitions S'to T Sediment The fine-grained material deposited by water or wind. SEPA See State Environmental Policy Act. SEPA Checklist A checklist is required of some projects under SEPA to identify the probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The checklist will also help to reduce or avoid impacts from a proposal, and help the responsible governmental agency decide whether a full environmental impact statement (EIS) is required (WAC 197-11-960).

Second Class Tideland Land over which the tide ebbs and flows outside and more than two miles from the corporate limits of any city from the line of ordinary high tide to the line of extreme low tide. Setbacks "Setback (yard requirements)" means the distance between a building and its lot lines. Setbacks shall be measured, where applicable, from building lines to the proposed or actual public or private street right- of -way lines. Shoreline Environment Setbacks —the distance between a building or use and the ordinary -high water -mark (OHWM) as established for each specific environmental designation under Chapter 5of this Master Program. Shall "Shall," indicates a mandate; the particular action must be done. Shore Defense Works Structures or modifications for the purpose of retarding shore erosion from waves or current action, protecting channels and harbors from wave action, encouraging deposition of beach materials, preventing stream bank overflow, and retaining uplands. They may consist of bulkheads, seawall, dikes, revetments, breakwaters, jetties, groins, or gabions. Defense works are commonly constructed from quarry rock (rip -rap), treated wood, concrete, steel, and sand and gravel. Shoreland Areas or Shorelands Those lands extending landward for two hundred (200) feet in all directions as measured on a horizontal plane from the ordinary high water mark, including all wetlands associated with the shoreline which are subject to the provisions of this chapter; the same to be designated as to location by the Washington Department of Ecology.

The removal of invasive or noxious weeds does not constitute significant vegetation removal. Tree pruning, not including tree topping, where it does not affect ecological functions, does not constitute significant vegetation removal. Vegetation Stabilization Planting of water -loving land vegetation upon shoreline banks, slopes, or berms to retain soil and retard erosion from surface run-off, planting of aquatic vegetation offshore to reduce wave action and retain bottom materials; and utilizing temporary structures or netting to enable plants to establish in unstable areas. Vessel Ship, boat, barge, or any other floating craft that is designed and used for navigation and does not interfere with the normal public use of the water. Waste Disposal Refuse composed of garbage, rubbish, ashes, dead animals, demolition wastes, automobile parts, and similar material. Water -dependent Use A use or a portion of a use, which, as its primary characteristic, cannot exist in any other location than on the water because it is dependent on the water by the intrinsic nature of its operations. Examples of a water -dependent uses include marinas, docks that support marinas, on- the -water recreational programs or small vessels that require in - water moorage, hand -launch or small boat launch sites, ferry and passenger ship terminals, ship or boat building areas, associated haul out facilities and dry docking, float plane facilities and sewer facilities. Activities and development undertaken for the purpose of restoring ecological functions and values, or enhancing shoreline habitat are also considered water -dependent under this Master Program. Water -enjoyment Use A shoreline recreational use such as a park, pier, or other use that facilitates public access to the shoreline as a primary character of the use; or, a use that provides for passive/active recreational use or aesthetic enjoyment of the shoreline for a substantial number of people as a general character of the use and which, through location, design and operation assure the public's ability to enjoy the physical and/or aesthetic qualities of the shoreline. The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007; Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page246/267 In order to qualify as a water -enjoyment use, the use must be open to the public and most if not all of the shoreline oriented space within the project must be devoted to the specific aspects of the use that foster shoreline enjoyment. Water -enjoyment uses may include, but are not limited to, shoreline parks, public access piers or other improvements (e.g., walkways or boardwalks) facilitating public access to the shorelines of the state or that foster the public's awareness and understanding of the shorelines of the state (e.g., shoreline or maritime -related museums, and scientific/ecological reserves). Other uses, including mixed -use developments, may qualify as water- enjoyment uses if they include a mix of more than one of the general water -enjoyment uses designed to take advantage of a waterfront location, protect views of the water, enhance pedestrian traffic, and display and sell merchandise oriented to marine uses or other office and research functions contributing to marine activities. Examples may include those uses listed in the following table: WATER -ENJOYMENT USES Ecological and Scientific Reserves Waterfront Parks Beaches for Public Use Aquariums Available to the Public Museums - Marine Oriented or Natural History Museums Restaurants Retail businesses housed in mixed use projects designed to take advantage of a waterfront location, protect views of the water and enhance pedestrian traffic, and which display and sell merchandise oriented to marine uses, including but not limited to: a. Fishing tackle b. Marine maps, books, magazines, catalogs c. Marine oriented provisions and clothing Water -oriented Use A use or a portion of a use which is either a water -dependent, water- related, or water -enjoyment use, or any combination thereof. All uses which do not meet the definition of water -dependent, water -related, or water - enjoyment are classified as non -water -oriented uses. Water -related Use A use or portion of a use that is not intrinsically dependent on a waterfront location, but whose operation cannot occur economically without a shoreline location. Water -related uses contribute to the marine trades, maritime educational uses or maritime heritage uses or activities of a particular shoreline designation because of the following: a. A functional requirement for a waterfront location, such as the arrival or shipment of materials by water (e.g., fish processors), or the ability to work on boats that are moored in a marina (e.g., sail lofts, riggers, boat repair) or; The Port Townsend SMP was comprehensively updated in 2007: Last amended in 2018 THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS DRAFT PROPOSED CHANGES Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Page247/267 b. The use provides a necessary service supportive of the water -dependent, water -related commercial activities and the proximity of the use to its customers and marine trades businesses makes its services less expensive and more convenient. Examples include marine chandleries or marine hardware stores, boat shops, marine electrical services, marine metal work or fabrication, or manufacturers of boat parts or supplies that are necessary for a viable marine trades economy; or C. The use provides marine -related services necessary to serve in- water marinas and on -land boatyards that provide a cluster of marine -related businesses that derive an economic benefit from close proximity to one another. Examples include boat dealers and brokers, marine surveyors and marine architects, moorage offices, shower and Laundromat facilities for moorage guests, and specialized professional services to support the marine trades; or d. The use provides maritime educational or maritime heritage activities that strengthen the city's marine trades businesses by providing a cluster of activities that support water -dependent uses, water - related uses and marine -related services. Examples include yacht or sail club facilities, diving shops with classes and/or rentals, recreational services that promote on -the -water activities (e.g., kayak rentals) and interpretive and educational facilities that provide demonstration areas or classrooms for marine trades or marine -related ecology or educational workshops, seminars or classes (e.g., vocational boat schools or maritime educational centers). Watershed Restoration Plan A plan, developed or sponsored by the W,s„�7,i,r7,rt,ar7,Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Department of Ecology, the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Transportation, a federally recognized Indian tribe acting within and pursuant to its authority, a city, a county, or a conservation district that provides a general program and implementation measures or actions for the preservation, restoration, re-creation, or enhancement of the natural resources, character, and ecology of a stream, stream segment, drainage area, or watershed for which agency and public review has been conducted pursuant to chapter 43.21C RCW, the State Environmental Policy Act. Wetlands or Wetland Areas Areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from nonwetland sites, including, but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass- lined swales, canals, detention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities, or those wetlands created after July 1, 1990, that were unintentionally created as a result of the construction of a road, street, or highway. Ha eves,, wetlands may include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from nonwetland areas to mitigate the conversion of wetlands if permitted by the C;,arar7t.Y ol_City (RCW 36.70A.030(20)).

The review is required under the SMA at , ,C;,.W 9..0, ,s 1. 1. Ecology rules that define the procedures for conducting these reviews include a requirement to use this checklist to ensure a successful review (A_7....00). By filling out this checklist, the local government is demonstrating compliance with the minimum scope of review requirements of WAC 173-26- 090(2)(d)(ii). The checklist is organized into two parts. Part One is used to identify how the SMP complies with current state laws, rules and guidance. This checklist identifies amendments to state law, rules and applicable updated guidance adopted between 2007 and 2021 that may trigger the need for local SMP amendments. Part Two is used to document local review to ensure the SMP is consistent with changes to the local comprehensive plans or development regulations, and to consider changes in local circumstances, new information or improved data. As part of this periodic review the local government should include consideration of whether or not the changes warrant an SMP amendment. How to use this checklist See the associated Periodic Review Checklist Guidance for a description of each item, relevant links, review considerations, and example language. Use the review column to document review considerations and determine if local amendments are needed to maintain compliance. See WAC 173-26-090(3)(b). Ecology recommends reviewing all items on the checklist. Use the action column as a final summary identifying your final action taken to address the identified change in state law, rule or guidance. See WAC 173-26-090(3)(d)(ii)(D), and WAC 173- 26-110(9)(b). This will likely include one of the following: • Amendment proposed (include code citation); • No amendment needed; or • Not applicable. Row Summary of change Review Action 2017a OFM adjusted the cost threshold for substantial development to $7,047. 21A.25.29013 refers to the statutory thresholds, as amended by OFM. No amendments needed. For more information Coordinate with.with.E c.gllggY._ .egi.pm.all !l2.D.!2f.L for more information on how to use this checklist and conduct the periodic review.

Written comments from Washington Geological Survey (DNR) — Geologic Planning Liaison Email April 22, 2025 In keeping with the interagency correspondence principles, I am providing you with comments on Port Townsend's Shoreline Master Program (2025-S-8303). For this proposal submitted via Planview, I looked at the proposal and focused on areas related to WGS work. Of note, but not limited to, I look for language around the geologically hazardous areas, mineral resource lands, mining, climate change, and natural hazards mitigation plans. Specifically in this proposal, I reviewed the 20250415_Port_Townsend _SM P_Revisions_2240046LILO(2).doc. Page 112: "The City's critical areas regulations codified in Chapter 19.05 PTMC, as adopted by Ordinance 3348 on March 17, 2025 are hereby incorporated by reference to become part of the shoreline provisions established herein as Sections 6.5 — 6.9 of this master program." Related provisions continue onto page 113. That's fine. Page 116: "Geologically hazardous areas are areas susceptible to severe erosion; slide activity, or other Response 1. Responses to Geologic Planning Liaison's email: Thank you for your review of the document and comments. Page 112 — Noted. Yage 116 —Yes, that is correct (See PTMC 19.05.100 (B)) geologic events. In the Port Townsend shoreline, high marine bluffs are the most visible type of geologically hazardous area, although seismic, tsunami and erosion hazards have also been mapped." Therefore, your identified geologically hazardous areas are landslides, erosion, tsunami, and seismic? Page 117: "Proposals within Geologically Hazardous Areas are subject to critical areas protection standards for Geologically Hazardous Areas established by Policy 6.5.3 above." Page 180: In DR-9.7.9, When "professional geologic site studies or design" is required, does the work need to be done by a licensed in WA engineer or geologist? Below, I include our usual language for this and future endeavors. Recognizing the limitations of the current proposals, I want to mention that it would be great for you to consider these in current or future work, be it in your comprehensive plan, development code, and SMP updates, and in your work in general: • Consider adding a reference to the definition of geologically hazardous areas, WAC 365-190-120, in other areas besides the CAO. In addition, consider adding a reference to WAC 365-196- 480 for natural resource lands. Page 117 — Noted. Page 180 — Yes, that is a requirement listed in many portions of PTMC 19.05 including sections 19.05.100(F)(1) and 19.05.100(G) Noted. • Consider adding a reference to the WGS Geologic Information Noted. Portal in other areas besides the CAO. If you have not checked our interactive database, the WGS Geologic Information Portal, lately, you may wish to do so. Geologic Information Portal I WA — DNR • If you have not checked out our Geologic Planning page, you may wish to do so. Geologic Planning I WA - DNR Thank you for considering our comments. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me. For your convenience, if there are no concerns or follow-up discussion, you may consider these comments to be final as of the 60-day comment deadline of 6/20/25. Have a great day!

Written comments from Liz and Charley Kanieski Emails May 6, 2025 Hello Emma - My husband Charley and I have been very involved in Port and marine trade, boating activities for over 30 years. We have one comment for the master plan update under the theme - pedestrian access to shorelines. The big one - Pt Hudson and City access for walkers and others who may be wanting to stroll along the water's edge or hand carry small craft to the shore. Our port is in the process of updating a strategic plan that puts a priority on access to the water's edge. Currently, at Pt Hudson, the northern portion of the shoreline walkway is blocked by RV sites! Uggh. It would be an inexpensive, simple fix to just move those back from the shoreline and have a complete contiguous path from the shore to the south marina ramp. Pedestrian access should take precedence. No fancy structure needed, just a sign, and a clear path along the shore. The City of Port Townsend and our Port could do the same along the entire waterfront -all the way to Boston Haven. Walk the path - looking at every location for access and make sure it is marked, and accessible, and welcoming. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Sincerely, Liz and Charley Kanieski LIZ HOENIG KANIESKI (ki/kin) cell:360-280-0233 email: lizhoenig@gmail.com Dear Emma, One more thought- it would be a super fun public engagement process to have local citizens participate in a shoreline access field survey day. Walking the edge identifying best places - as well as areas that need help. Walkers, boaters, birders, swimmers, fishers - could all help out. Liz 2. Response to Liz and Charley Kanieski: Thank you for involvement and comments. The location you reference at Point Hudson is held by the Port of Port Townsend. You may consider reaching out to them by phone or email with your input: pointhudson@portofpt.com Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions and input. Thank you for the suggestion.

Since you will have a second reading, I did not bring them up in public comment last evening. They are mostly items left over from the last efforts to update the document. The pdf page numbers are from the version in last evening's packet. Thanks, Debbie Jahnke pdf p38 (doc p34) line 3 - bank is no longer Washington Mutual; it is now Chase Bank; Kah Tai'center' is now Life Care Center City Comment: This revision has been made. pdf p70 (doc p66) Section C.b. - care center is now called the Life Care Center, not Kah Tai Care Center City Comment: This revision has been made. pdf p70 (doc p66) Policy 5.10.1 - Perhaps Kah Tai and Chinese Gardens should be singled out for non -water oriented uses (Kah Tai should have no uses that allow people or dogs to enter the water; perhaps the same for Chinese Gardens) City Comment: This comment is noted, Kah Tai and Chinese Gardens includes policies in Chapter 7 that limit public access and state wildlife needs are the primary concern. pdf page 130 #4 (doc pl26) three policies referring to Kah Tai and Chinese Gardens could be more specific about no shoreline/water access by people or pets; also, Kah Tai public viewpoints should only be encouraged along the south shoreline City Comment: Further policies could be considered as the result of public involvement at the next periodic update. pdf p291 (doc p22 Additional amendments section) characterization of Kah Tai Trough may have changed so should be checked City Comment: As this is a periodic update, the Shoreline Inventory Characterization has not been updated and will be updated during the next comprehensive update. pdf p301 (doc p32 Additional amendments section) note #12b comment about shoreline public access from 2021 by D Jahnke; staff noted it would be considered during public review process City Comment: The public review process did not bring up additional public input relating to public access in Kah Tai. This may be revisited in a future amendment. Staff Report To: Planning Commission From: Emma Bolin, Planning Director Jenny Murphy, Associate Planner Date: May 13, 2025 SUBJECT: Director's Recommended Shoreline Master Program Periodic Update Summary The Director recommends: • Planning Commission hold a public hearing and recommend changes to the proposed Shoreline Master Program Periodic Update to City Council based on the criteria discussed in the May 8, 2025, meeting • City Council Adoption of the 2025 proposed Shoreline Master Program updates— Exhibit 1 Introduction and Backeround The City of Port Townsend adopted its first Shoreline Master Program (SMP) in 1974 following a state mandate under the Shoreline Management Act (SMA). The Port Townsend Shoreline Master Program is a policy document that promotes uses and development within the shoreline while protecting and restoring environmental resources. The City's SMP has been recurrently amended over the past 51 years. In addition to regular discretionary amendments, the City also conducted statutorily mandated reviews and updates to its SMP in 2007 to ensure ongoing compliance with the SMA. Accordingly, much of the foundation of the existing SMP remains generally relevant and appropriate. The SMA mandated review occurs on a periodic basis (currently every ten years). The SMP was due for review in 2020. Although the City made considerable progress towards a 2021 periodic review, staffing shortages putting the update on hold. Pursuant to the SMA schedule, the City is again statutorily mandated to review, and (if needed) amend its SMP by June 30, 2030 (RCW 90.58.080.4). The Plan must cover the period from 2030 to 2040. While amendments required to ensure SMA compliance are the focus of the 2025 update, Council will consider including a limited number of optional amendments on the 2025 periodic update. State Funding - The City received a $228,890 competitive grant from the Department of Ecology to implement permit streamlining, sea level rise mitigation and to complete the 2025 periodic update. The City retained an outside consultant (AHBL) to review the Shoreline Master Program and update environmental regulations for SMA compliance using the Department of Ecology's periodic update checklist, assist in conducting public engagement, and draft updated codes and regulations. Director's Recommended Scooe and Schedule for the 2025 Shoreline Master Program update Exhibit 1 provides the Director's recommendation on the 2025 periodic update docket. 0 Mandated amendments to the Shoreline Master Program • Optional and Suggested Amendments to the Shoreline Master Program Mandated Amendments to the Shoreline Master Program Mandated amendments were added to the City's SMP to align with changes in laws and rules and to remain consistent with other City plans and regulation. The periodic updates is responsive to changed circumstances, new information and improved data. Early in the process, the City retained an outside consultant (AHBL) to review the Shoreline Management Program and development regulations for SMA compliance using the Department of Ecology's update checklist (Exhibit 2). The Director recommends completing mandated and optional amendments to the Shoreline Master Program. Housekeeping in the Shoreline Master Program The original SMP contained explicit direction regarding its policies and regulations. Although most of the goal and policy direction remains relevant, the document could be streamlined and simplified by removing redundant and now obsolete policies (e.g., those that have been accomplished). In addition, housekeeping encompasses minor, non -substantive amendments to improve readability and internal/external consistency (e.g., reference updated functional plans, revise outdated references to State departments/programs). Optional and Suggested Amendments to the Shoreline Master Program The Director is tasked with compiling suggested (non -mandatory) amendments into a periodic review checklist. During the initial review of the SMP updates in 2021, staff received many comments on the proposed SMP updates. The comments and staff responses are linked in Exhibit 4. In April of 2025, staff published notice of suggested amendment requests through the May 8, 2025, deadline. The City received two comments. Other optional amendments were shared and further refined through the public engagement process. These will be summarized by staff at the Planning Commission workshop on May 22, 2025. The main categories of optional amendments are presented in Exhibit 1. How are Amendments Selected for the Shoreline Master Program Update? The Director compiled a broad range of suggested amendments prior to and during the public participation process. A summary of the public engagement process can be viewed by reviewing Appendix A in Exhibit 5. The substantive work effort has largely been undertaken and completed by the Department of Planning and Community Development and hired consultants. City Council will finalize the Shoreline Master Program update recommendations in 2025. The final 2025 Shoreline Master Program proposed amendments will be sent to the Washington State Department of Ecology for final review and adoption. Overall, 1) The proposed amendments address significantly changed conditions or responds to an expressed desire by the community since the last time the pertinent Shoreline Master Program was amended and thus warrants review in the current year — Optional amendments in Exhibit 1 addresses significantly changed conditions or respond to an expressed desire by the community. 2) The proposed amendments are consistent with policy implementation in the city-wide planning policies, the Shoreline Management Act, other state or federal law, and the Washington Administrative Code. Amendments in Exhibit 1 are consistent. Scope of proposed Shoreline Master Program Updates 2025 The Director's Recommended 2025 Shoreline Master Program periodic updates are contained in Exhibit 1. The timeframe for completing the update is constrained by a grant timeline for the end of June 2025. It should be clearly acknowledged that the next Shoreline Master Program periodic review update is anticipated to begin in 2028. The public process and SEPA review will guide future changes to the City's SMP. Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC) 20.04.090.A allows for amendments of adopted land use code as long as the change is consistent with Port Townsend's Comprehensive Plan and the City's official Land Use Map. Proposed amendments to the Shoreline Master Program (SMP) are consistent with the City of Port Townsend's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map as follows: Land Use Map Staff Response: SMP section 5.1 states that the environment classification scheme is intended to work in conjunction with local comprehensive planning and zoning. Multiple references are made within the SMP to allow uses within the shoreline provided they are consistent with the underlying zoning. Land Use Policy 2.3: Protect natural resource lands, archaeological properties, and critical areas through public and private initiatives, such as open space tax incentives, cluster development, PUDs, transfer or purchase of development rights, public land acquisition, dedication of City -owned tracts and street rights of way, conservation easements, landowner compacts, soliciting donations of land, downsizing, limiting the amount of lot coverage, and best management practices in development. Staff Response: City staff has proposed updates to the SMP which align with updates in state laws and regulations to ensure compliance with the Shoreline Management Act, to remain consistent with other City plans and regulations, and to adapt to changed circumstances, new information and improved data. In addition, the Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) was updated placing additional protections on Critical Areas. The SMP now contains a reference to the CAO to ensure changes made within the CAO are accurately reflected within the SMP. Land Use Policy 2.3.2: Consider opportunities for climate change mitigation and adaptation on natural resource lands and critical areas. Staff Response: The City participated in the Port of Port Townsend's Phase I Water., Walk process to identify ways that the SMP could be updated accommodate public access while also addressing sea level rise. A draft technical memo assessing Sea Level Rise (SLR) within the City's southern shoreline is available as Exhibit 5. Land Use Policy 2.8: Respect the rights of private property owners while protecting and preventing the degradation of environmentally sensitive areas. Staff Response: The City proposed amendments to the nonconforming section of the SMP (Chapter 11) to allow for greater flexibility for rebuilding a structure, within the same footprint, should the structure be damaged or destroyed. In addition, mitigation sequencing was moved from the definitions section and added as a development regulation to better comply with WAC 173-27-201(2)(e). Land Use Policy 8.8: Assess the risks (e.g., increased incidence of drought, flooding, and sea level rise) and potential impacts on both City government operations and on the larger community due to climate change. Staff Response: During the March 12, 2025, public meeting City staff conducted polling to understand the public's preference of adaptation measures to various climate change risks including green measures, structural methods, temporary measures and retreat. The small polling sample showed community preference for structural protection measures lip`i.:ill�e...IHIiistoiriic„IlI)Ji tirii_ct.

(new finding post Planning Commission recommendation to support staff findings for state review). Land Use Policy 11.9: Work closely with the Port of Port Townsend to provide for the development of the Boat Haven and Point Hudson properties in a way that ensures the viability of long-term marine uses, the vitality of the area for port -related uses, and compatibility with surrounding areas. Staff Response: City staff participated in the Port's proposed Waterwalk in order to assess potential updates needed within the SMP to accommodate protection of Port assets while also providing public access. In addition, proposed amendments would allow aquaculture for enhancement in both the Boat Haven and Point Hudson, allow limited aquaculture in existing marinas, as well as clarification of language regarding docks, piers and floats within marinas. Land Use Policy 19.5: Recognize that the goals and policies of the City's SMP are considered part of this Comprehensive Plan, and that the shoreline use and development regulations of the SMP are considered part of the City's development regulations. Staff Response: As shown within the findings of this staff report, the proposed amendments to the SMP are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Updates to the Comprehensive Plan have occurred in 2016, 2019 and 2023. An analysis of the SMP showed that the SMP remains consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the previously mentioned updates. Development regulations associated with SB 5290 have been addressed within the proposed SMP updates including deleting circular references, clarification of permitting processes for both property owners and staff, and by adopting permit timelines associated with SB 5290. Housing Policy 4.3.1: Include within the comprehensive land use plan and zoning code mixed use zones to encourage a co -mingling of residential and commercial uses in certain, select areas. Staff Response: A proposed change within the SMP is to allow residential use of the ground floor of commercial buildings within the Historic District, so long as it does not front Water Street. This was previously prohibited. Economic Development Policy 3: Strengthen the marine trades economy while protecting the natural environment and balancing public use of shoreline areas. Staff Response: Proposed amendments include allowing limited commercial shellfish aquaculture within existing marinas with a Conditional Use Permit and allow aquaculture for enhancement within the Boat Haven and Point Hudson. Economic Development Policy 3.3: Plan and design shoreline open spaces that are compatible with marine -related industrial and commercial uses of shoreline areas. Staff Response: Proposed changes will allow for greater flexibility in the construction of a Waterwalk, landward of the Ordinary High -Water Mark, within the Boat Haven district which would provide public access and help reduce damages to Port assets caused by future inundation. Findings of Fact: 1. Proposal: The City of Port Townsend proposes amendments to various sections of the Shoreline Master Program. The amendments relate to: a. Remaining consistent with changing state laws and regulations b. Improving implementation and addressing development regulations associated with SB 5290 c. Merge the Waterwalk with Sea Level Rise and King Tide adaptation 2. Location: The proposed amendments apply throughout the City of Port Townsend. 3. Environmental Review: Amendments to the Shoreline Master Program are subject to review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of Non -Significance (DNS) (Exhibit 3) on April 21, 2025. The SEPA comment period expired on May 8, 2025. Two comments were received and addressed in Exhibit 4. 4. Commerce Review: The City must notify the WA Department of Commerce of any proposed amendments to the Shoreline Master Program.

Coastal flooding probabilities and projections were developed using sea level rise projections and current coastal flooding impacts, such as storm surge, wave runup, and 100-year floods. This 2025 work builds on the 2022 assessment and discusses other recent analyses that similarly build on that work. The City Comprehensive Plan has identified the vision of a Waterwalk along the developed portion of the City's shoreline between the Boat Haven Marina and the Point Hudson Marina to improve water access for people. The Port of Port Townsend (the Port) has been in the process of developing a comprehensive design plan to build a structural Waterwalk along a portion of the city's southern shoreline (i.e., the Port's Waterwalk), which would consist of a public access pathway of varying construction types that would protect shoreline public access, water -oriented uses, and vital infrastructure in the Larry Scott Trail, Boat Haven, and Flats District portions of the city's shoreline. The design is robust for the short term (until 2075) and is proposed for construction landward of the regulatory (current) ordinary high water mark (OHWM). The proposed location of the structure and the highly developed nature of the shoreline in this area means that ecological impacts of the proposed structure are less than other less developed portions of the city's shoreline. The Port's proposed design elevations are compared to the City's recommendations coming out of Port Townsend (2022). They agree to a great extent, though the Port is using a shorter design life than the timeframes recommended by the City, which results in the Port using lower design elevations. This document includes discussion of a variety of proposed measures to protect assets at risk of future coastal flooding along the city's highly developed entire southern shoreline located in five shoreline segments: the Larry Scott Trail, the Boatyard, the Flats District, the Downtown Historic District, and Point Hudson (see Figure 1 in the Project Introduction section). The current version of the plan of the Port's Waterwalk alignment would not protect the northeast end of the Flats District, the Historic District, and Point Hudson (Figure 1), which are all at risk of future flooding. Each of the proposed Waterwalk protection methods for the City's Waterwalk (i.e., the remainder of the original Waterwalk route) are discussed in terms of cost, access considerations, permitting complexity, and efficacy. Recommendations are provided for the appropriateness of each measure to the five shoreline segments, along with response to those measures from the public, further described below and in Appendix A. Finally, this technical memorandum includes a summary of recommended revisions to be made to update the City's Shoreline Master Program (SMP) to accommodate climate change resiliency actions. The document outlines several possible revisions to protect non -conforming historic structures and other key city infrastructure, encourage retreat, and encourage ecologically sensitive approaches to marine flood protection. mf cc_23-08209-000_tm_sealevelriseresiliency_20250425.docx III 6 HERRERA This page intentionally left blank The Waterwalk route, which spans Port Townsend's entire southern shoreline, originated in the Port Townsend Urban Waterfront Plan (Port Townsend 1990) and was formalized as Appendix G of its Shoreline Master Program (SMP) in 2007 as "a coordinated system of connected pathways, sidewalks, passageways between buildings, and shoreline access points." The idea is currently central to the City's management of the five shoreline segments on its southern shoreline, as a part of its SMP. Unfortunately, the original public access route idea did not consider sea level rise and subsequent increased storm damage caused from it. The Waterwalk SLR Study Area spans those five segments of the southern shoreline, from west to east: the Larry Scott Trail, the Boatyard, the Flats District, the Historic District, and Point Hudson. The Port's Waterwalk is proposed for three of these shoreline segments southwest of downtown Port Townsend, including the Larry Scott Trail, the Boatyard, and the Flats District (Figure 1). Figure 1 shows the Shoreline Environment Designation (SED) Map from the city's Shoreline Master Program. Like a zoning overlay, the SEDs help tailor SMP policies and regulations to the range of shoreline conditions to avoid a one -size - fits -all approach for managing shoreline use and development. The five segments of this project's Study Area correlate to these SEDs as follows: • Larry Scott Trail — Conservancy SED • Boatyard — three 'Boat Haven' SEDs • Flats District — Urban SED • Historic District — Historic Waterfront SED • Point Hudson — three 'Point Hudson' SEDs Most portions of this shoreline have been highly modified with a combination of armoring consisting of sea walls and riprap due to the prevailing southeast winds and significant fetch in Port Townsend Bay. Natural geomorphic shoreline processes such as bluff erosion and beach nourishment have been heavily modified for many years. The City recognizes that solutions to this problem will require creative approaches to provide best available science in pursuit of environment benefit coinciding with shoreline protections measures. The City anticipates regulations will change to allow such creativity to be implemented and yet improve already highly impacted shoreline environments. The goal of this project is to continue the Waterwalk public access planning process along the city's southern shoreline. The objective of this report is to identify the anticipated gaps, both physical and regulatory, from future sea level rise (SLR) adaptation actions on the Waterwalk in Port Townsend, which comprises the study area(Figure 1). It is intended to identify which adaptive measures along the City's portion of the Waterwalk are or could be allowable by the City's SMP, the State's Shoreline Management Act (SMA) and Washington Administrative Code (WAC) and provide the scientific foundation for those decisions. The proposed conceptual design of the Port's Waterwalk (KPFF 2024) and its associated appendices identifies a broad array of conceptual design options at specific locations, alternative rankings, and priorities for future detailed assessment; and possible SMP revisions. These strategies are summarized here, in addition to several others that can be applicable to other portions of the City's Waterwalk. Ap ri 1 2025 1 AtTechnical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between HER Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina Outireadh Outreach began with various presentations at regular meetings of local climate change experts. This included a meeting with the Marine Resources Committee on December 3, 2024, a meeting with the local Climate Action Committee on December 11, 2024, and a meeting with City staff on December 12, 2024. These productive meetings led to an understanding of the key issues facing the City and its Waterwalk and the unusual features of climate risk to Port Townsend. This outreach included review by these same local experts of early versions of this memorandum. An interim meeting was held on February 20, 2025 to familiarize the public with the periodic update process for the SMP and introduce the work presented herein. No results from this document were presented at that meeting, however. Following this engagement with local experts, a general public meeting was held on March 12, 2025. Approximately 30 members of the public attended with 15-20 respondents to most of the polling questions that were developed as a part of this work. The public was queried about their vision and the regulatory issues raised by this document. The lively and thoughtful response from the community was varied. Several individuals advocated for immediate and proactive management of the city's response to sea level rise and development of a climate plan to prepare for the day when maintaining the City's Historic District will not be feasible in its current configuration. A slightly larger group felt like a phased approach was most appropriate. Details of the engagement process including written comments and polling responses can be found in Appendix A. lip 2 Ap ri 12025 HERRERA Technical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina A -e 19 V� f The southern shoreline of Port Townsend is at risk of coastal flooding under existing conditions, though it is understood that primary impacts from overland marine processes are wave and debris damage and sea spray. The Existing Conditions Characterization relies on the analysis performed by Blue Coast Engineering (2024), as part of the basis of design document prepared for the Port's Waterwalk project (KPFF 2024) and the City's own sea level rise analysis (Port Townsend 2022). Coastal flooding from emergent groundwater as the water table is pushed to the surface from rising sea levels and saltwater intrusion was not considered in this Existing Conditions Characterization. The City's analysis (Port Townsend 2022) provides the City's recommendations for assessments of sea level rise. These two studies (Blue Coast Engineering 2024; Port Townsend 2022) will be compared and described in detail below, along with context of other publicly available information. The City's analysis, which is less developed and more simplistic since it was developed for planning purposes only, will be presented to provide context in the section below. A more detailed description of the Port's analysis will be provided in a separate section. IIII iiiii of aIIIIII. IIII iiiii It is first helpful to establish terminology with regards to marine high-water events, in order to estimate their change with sea level rise. Often people will refer to "King Tides," which, strictly speaking, are an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the alignment of the sun and moon create exceptionally high (tidally induced) water levels in marine waters. These events can be predicted years beforehand due to the accurate prediction of planetary alignments. Sometimes they can be distilled to a single value, referred to as the Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT). However, greatest storm damage typically occurs when high tides co-occur with an atmospheric low-pressure event (i.e., storms) which combines to generate a storm surge (through what is known as the inverse barometer effect —pulling water upwards) with strong winds, which generate large waves. This unique combination of conditions can occur during "King Tides" but does not require a King Tide (Figure 2). King Tides are a foot or two higher than mean higher high water (MHHW), whereas storm surge can be up to 3 feet higher than astronomical tides would suggest. A storm event can add additional height to water levels from wave setup and runup. Wave setup, shown as overlapping in Figure 2, is the increase in mean water level due to the presence of breaking waves, while runup is the maximum onshore elevation reached by waves, relative to the shoreline position in the absence of waves. Total Water Level (TWL) represents this combined maximum water level from tides, storms, and waves. Though it is improbable that all contributing factors will peak at the same time, several simultaneous events occurred most recently in 2022 causing significant flooding along areas of the Waterwalk. TWL provides a valuable management tool for preparing for future inundation, planning, and design purposes. Figure 2 graphically displays the components common to this type of approach. 4 Ap ri 1 2025 HERRERA Technical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina Figure 2. Illustration of the Components of a Marine High -Water Event and Total Water Level. A total water level approach was used in the City's analysis of sea level rise (Port Townsend 2022). Over the short term (i.e., until 2050), the uncertainty associated with sea level rise projections is small, but so are the projections themselves (typically less than 1.5 feet). As water levels gradually rise over the next few decades, the risks to city assets are not significantly different than in current conditions, which, based on discussions with City public works staff, are generally confined to wave runup, battering from large woody debris, and sea spray. Stormwater infrastructure does not currently backwater (i.e., back up due to an inability to freely drain) routinely in a significant way due to Stillwater marine levels (i.e., water level in the absence of waves; see Figure 2), as it does in other low-lying Puget Sound locales (Herrera 2020). However, when looking beyond 2050, there is both far greater uncertainty and the potential for much larger increases in sea level, due to feedback mechanisms and cryogenic inputs from Greenland and the West Antarctic Ice sheet, among other contributing factors. This acceleration in sea level rise would produce significantly greater risk exposure to city assets. Finally, as mentioned above, sea level rise will persist beyond 2100, and is predicted to follow a path of increasing acceleration. The city is currently subject to the risk of marine flooding of inundation of the 100-year marine flood event (i.e., an event that has a 1 percent chance of occurring in a given year) (see Figure 3), as assessed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The City (Port Townsend 2022) categorized sea level rise into two broad categories, the 17 percent probability of exceedance at 2100 (3.0 feet) and the 1 percent probability of exceedance at 2100 (5.0 feet). Larger values are possible and were noted, in particular the NOAA (2022) high projection of 6.5 feet. The City used the RCP 8.5 greenhouse gas emission scenario, the "business as usual" scenario. The analysis considered total water level, as described graphically above (Figure 2). Note that the storm surge and wave runup values in the City's sea level rise analysis (Port Townsend 2022) are not significantly different than the values calculated by Blue Coast Engineering (2024), even though the level of analysis applied in the City's analysis was limited. Caution should be used comparing wave runup in different portions of the city. There are numerous factors that can influence wave runup, such as wind direction, beach slope, offshore bathymetry, wave period, etc. However, the comparison in Table 1 is valuable for assessing the level of risk the City's Waterwalk might be exposed to.

R _3 o 4 k�0- Q { on A key aspect to current marine flood risks in the city is storm surge combined with wave runup, contributing to wave and debris damage and sea spray. While reliable, predictive wave forecasting remains elusive, storm surge has been modeled accurately and effectively for Port Townsend (NOAA 2024). Local citizens have begun to use the NOAA Probabilistic Extra -Tropical Storm Surge tool (NOAA 2024) to forecast high water levels. A recent high-water event was accurately predicted by the tool (within 0.3 foot: Local 20120 [2024]). Note that these predictions are more accurate than other locations within Puget Sound, likely due to the relative lack of baroclinicity (i.e., complications due to mixing in Admiralty Inlet and other Puget Sound sills, which contribute to tides elsewhere in Puget Sound, but not in Port Townsend) in the tidal predictions for Port Townsend. Sharing these predictions with the community, along with a high -resolution topographic map, should be considered to assist in preparation for these high-water events in the future. IIII iiiir aiiiir aIIIIII"")esiiiii iiiir The Port's Waterwalk design has been developed to protect the western portion of the city's southern shoreline and to increase and protect public access along the entire shoreline, consistent with the Port Townsend Urban Waterfront Plan (Port Townsend 1990) and the City's SMP. The design is intended to primarily protect Port assets in the vicinity of the Boat Haven boatyard and a modest portion of the city on either side. The design alignment can be divided into three primary segments representing general shoreline conditions and land uses. Each stretch was further subdivided based on variability in shoreline and upland conditions (KPFF 2024); however, each stretch has generally similar conditions and will be amalgamated for simplicity of discussion. These segments are: 1. Larry Scott Trail, which is largely undeveloped other than the trail, approximately 1,800 feet 2. Boat Haven boatyard, which is intensely developed, approximately 2,600 feet. 3. Flats District, a mix of developed properties, parking lots, and undeveloped properties backed by State Route 20 (Water Street), approximately 2,800 feet. The design elevations are variable for the different parts of the Port's Waterwalk. However, none exceed 15 feet NAVD 88., which is less than the planning elevation set forth by the City (Table 1). That said, the various Waterwalk structures are expected to produce reliable, significant protection until 2075, according to KPFF (2024). It is important to note that none of the locations have sufficient freeboard to accommodate the city's own low probability total water level elevation (19.1 feet NAVD 88; Table 1) in 2100 or the highest total water levels in the "Extreme Case" in the Port's analysis (18.3 feet NAVD 88; Table 1). Blue Coast Engineering (2024) used a DeIft3D model to simulate waves in conjunction with storm surge and sea level rise (Table 1). The purpose of this modeling was to estimate a total water surface elevation to inform design elevations (Table 1). The analysis assumed two scenarios based on the highest astronomical tide (HAT) height: A "King Tide" case that did not have an accompanying storm surge. 2. An extreme case with a storm. 8 Ap ri 1 2025 HERRERA Technical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina Both scenarios assumed a 50 percent level of exceedance for sea level rise. This estimate of a total water level might be accurate for preliminary planning assessments of the remainder of the city's southern shoreline because the wave characteristics were modeled, though some further considerations need to be made as to its applicability to the City's Waterwalk since wave characteristics may be significantly different due to differing shoreline conditions (see the Recommended Actions to Improve Resiliency to Sea Level Rise section for a detailed recommendation in this regard). For the extreme case, Blue Coast Engineering (2024) considered the following characteristics to develop their total water level: the tidal basis was a HAT, plus 2.2 feet of storm surge, estimated to be the annual exceedance event, with 1.5 feet of sea level rise (50 percent probability of exceedance in 2075 using the RCP 8.5 greenhouse gas scenario, the scenario that generates the largest sea level rise increases, approximately 50 years in the future). In the absence of sea level rise, these hydrodynamic conditions are quite conservative from a design perspective because the probability of the highest astronomical tide occurring during a storm surge is low. However, the sea level rise estimate is modest, particularly when compared to the City's estimate of 5 feet, albeit for a different time interval (2075 [Blue Coast] versus 2100 [City]; Table 1). These conditions predicted by Blue Coast (2024) yielded a total water level of between 13.7 and 18.3 feet NAVD 88. Note that this is generally lower than the City's values in Table 1. However, Blue Coast Engineering's results (2024) are arguably more accurate, as wave conditions were modeled for the expected topographic conditions, not anecdotal estimates. For the Blue Coast Engineering (2024) "King Tide" case without a storm surge, a HAT was used with 1.5 feet of sea level rise (Table 1). No storm surge was included in this scenario. Waves were modeled according to these slightly lower water levels and varied depending on the shoreline conditions (Table 1). Further details about the approach can be found in Blue Coast Engineering (2024). The Blue Coast Engineering report (2024) targets 2075 as the end of the design life of the Waterwalk structure. Its ultimate design elevations are lower than most of total water level estimates in Table 1. Design elevations were set to provide freeboard on still water elevations (i.e., elevations that do not include the influence of waves) and a minimum amount of overtopping. As a result, the design will account for some overtopping in the extreme case simulations (primarily from wave runup) towards the end of the design life. Finally, it is important to consider that sea level rise will continue and is predicted to accelerate after that time. In fact, as pointed out quite clearly in the City's sea level rise analysis (Port Townsend 2022), significant sea level rise is expected beyond this date and may exceed the elevations of the extreme design storm used to estimate inundation in the Blue Coast Engineering analysis (2024). Therefore, it is prudent to revisit observed sea level rise at regular intervals, and a phased approach to adapting to it is reasonable, as discussed in detail in the Recommended Actions to Improve Resiliency to Sea Level Rise section. The alignment of the Port's Waterwalk is highly constrained by existing infrastructure and was developed with careful consideration of staying landward of the current OHWM. As such, the design alignment is appropriate and minimizes ecological impacts in the context of these largely already hardened and paved backshore environments. Confluence Environmental (2024) summarized the applicable regulations relevant to the Port's Waterwalk. One key aspect of the Port's Waterwalk design is its avoidance of work below the current Ap ri 12025 9 lip Technical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between HERRERA Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina ordinary high water mark. This may allow some parts of the project to proceed without state and federal permits and reduce nearshore habitat impacts, although there are other triggers for state and federal permits that may trigger greater outside scrutiny by regulatory agencies. Also, federal jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act has been defined at the High Tide Line, and recent clarity from USACE puts that elevation at 8.9 feet NAVD 88, slightly higher than the 8.7 feet NAVD 88 that is used by KPFF (2024). Also, the design is not advanced sufficiently to ensure that all work below these jurisdictional boundaries can be avoided. Cultural resource issues may also complicate construction and avoidance of in -water work, and they have not been investigated in detail yet. It is also important to note that although these structures are proposed to be located above current OHWM, water levels will be heightened over time, which may require re -engineering of structures to withstand increasing water level and wave impacts. A more detailed analysis of the implications for permitting the project is included below. of T In comparing the City of Port Townsend (2022) total water level estimates to Blue Coast Engineering (2024), it is important to establish the differences between the purposes of the analyses performed by the two studies. The City of Port Townsend planning study (Port Townsend 2022) was intended to inform policy and facility planning. As a result, it did not have a site in mind, and therefore somewhat generically characterized wave runup (i.e., using a single observation of a storm in the Historic District for an estimate). While there are also differences in storm surge, they are minor (less than a foot). The Port's estimate was based on an analysis of water level, which suggests that 2.2 feet is the annual exceedance event. The Port's analysis modeled waves, which provides detailed conditions on how the waves will runup on the shoreline, based on local elevations and topography (albeit estimated from public sources and not licensed survey). The purpose of the Port's analysis was to provide specific location and context - based guidance for a public works project. Their analysis also provides a variation in the final total water level. That said, as can be seen in Table 1, the final numbers fall within the same broad range, with the City's estimates being towards the upper end of the Blue Coast Engineering (2024) range. However, probably the most significant difference in the analyses is the planning horizon or design life. Sea level rise estimates generally diverge around 2050 (Miller et al. 2018). This is because the acceleration in sea level rise is uncertain beyond 2050. The upper end of the range of predicted acceleration, as depicted in the City's "low probability" case, can be quite large. Since Blue Coast Engineering (2024) was interested in 2075, as opposed to 2100, the assumed sea level rise was much lower. It is also much more certain, which is important for design. The detailed assessment of waves, which produced larger estimates of wave runup (in some cases) than the single observation used by the City (Port Townsend 2024), raised the final total water level somewhat, but not enough to compensate for the higher assumed sea level rise assumed by the City (Port Townsend 2022). 10 Ap ri 1 2025 HERRERA Technical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina ResiliencyRecommended Actions to Improve It is recommended that the City take actions to reduce potential damage from inundation that would impact assets that are not protected by the Port's Waterwalk project (Port Townsend 2022). Most of the high exposure properties and the Waterwalk itself, identified by the City's sea level rise analysis (Port Townsend 2022), will remain highly exposed to inundation, since the Port's Waterwalk will only protect low areas associated with the Boat Haven boatyard and Kai Tai Lagoon (KPFF 2024). That said, the City's protected Waterwalk could be extended from the east end of the Port's Waterwalk to Point Hudson. Figure 4 illustrates two potential alignments of protective actions to be taken to protect city assets, including the Waterwalk itself. Figure 5 illustrates the possible tools available to provide that protection. Each tool will be discussed below with regards to relative efficacy, cost, access, and environmental impact. An explanation of the scoring is provided as Table 2. Efficacy has been rated primarily through professional judgment and similar experiences in the Puget Sound region, though some of tools do not address all aspects of marine flooding, which necessarily limit their efficacy. The tools are scored (equally) one to five with respect to each of these elements: the higher the scores, the more desirable the element (i.e., a cost score of a five means an inexpensive alternative). It is important to mention that many of these elements are highly project- and site -specific for each measure. The scoring is also mainly relative to the other measures. For instance, temporary measures might have very few environmental impacts, but they do not confer any environmental benefits, so they do not score a five because some of the green measures could provide environmental benefits. All the actions, including the no -action alternative, have a cost since sea level rise will eventually endanger more than $100 million in city and private assets (Port Townsend 2022). It is likely, just as with the Port's Waterwalk project, that the City will find a range of appropriate measures, depending on site -specific characteristics, which will further inform the development of strategies to protect the Historic District.

Numerous manufacturers have been used effectively (e.g., during recent hurricane events in the southeastern United States) to prevent inundation of marine waters when sufficient advance notice is provided. The details of implementation for tidal flooding, as would be the case here, are less clear, though likely it will be dependent on judicious use of actionable inundation estimates (NOAA 2024), similar to what has begun to be used by the Port of Port Townsend. This would also require the development of a forecasting and implementation process that currently does not exist but appears generally feasible. Upfront costs for such a system are likely significantly less than a permanent solution, although mobilization, demobilization, and storage costs over time could be significant as portable barriers and temporary flood gates are removed after each storm. These solutions also often require little space to deploy. Another advantage of this approach is that it would not impair access most of the time. Efficacy.4, Cost: 3, Access: 4, Environmental Impact: 2 Sandbags: Sandbags serve a similar purpose to portable barriers and temporary flood gates and have been implemented in the past by the Port in particularly problematic locations in the city. Sandbags can be less expensive than portable barriers or temporary flood gates, but they can require more advance notice. Fortunately, the forecasting tools currently available can produce reasonable, actionable inundation estimates (NOAA 2024; Local 20120 2024). Sandbags also could facilitate shoreline access when not in use, rather than more permanent structures. Efficacy.3, Cost: 4, Access: 4, Environmental Impact: 2 Sealed Street Grates: Backwater flooding from storm drains that drain to marine outfalls is a common mechanism for inundation, though less so at the current time in the city. This may not be true as sea level rise persists in the latter half of the 21st century. Simply sealing these storm drain grates can prevent it. Although sealing street grates takes some advance notice, like all the temporary measures, it requires much less time than barriers or sandbags. It is also a very inexpensive measure and does not impair 14 Ap ri 1 2025 HERRERA Technical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina access but does little to prevent wholesale marine flooding. However, under current conditions, backwater flooding is rare; and this method might be of limited use. Efficacy. 7, Cost: 5, Access: 4, Environmental Impact: 3 Green iiiir iiiii Living Shorelines: Living shorelines utilize natural materials and processes to protect coastlines from erosion caused from waves and improve nearshore habitat for aquatic species, such as forage fish. Typically, these shorelines can use large woody materials combined with cobbles and vegetation to disperse wave energy. However, living shorelines require more area than hard armoring, such as a wall, and are not feasible in most locations due to the proximity of historic structures. Efficacy.3, Cost: 3, Access: 5, Environmental Impact: 5 Floodable Landscapes: Similar to living shorelines, this approach allows natural processes to persist to provide habitat for species that use the nearshore. The primary difference is that these areas would allow and accommodate inundation, rather than providing protection from inundation. While most locations are not amenable to this approach due to development, it may be possible to implement this approach in less developed areas around Point Hudson, particularly when made in conjunction with elevating remaining structures combined with beach nourishment to help prevent erosion and debris damage. Efficacy.3, Cost: 2, Access: 5, Environmental Impact: 5 Stormwater Management: Upland runoff drainage will be important to be maintained once sea level rises such that the existing stormwater system is frequently backwatered. Although stormwater management and insufficient drainage is not significant currently, it is likely to be an important piece of any flood protection solution, no matter the means used to hold back marine waters. This likely would require a comprehensive strategy involving gates, infiltration galleries, cisterns, etc., in the Historic District and could be quite expensive. It may also be complicated by the local geology, which has extremely slow infiltration rates. Efficacy. 7, Cost: 7, Access: 5, Environmental Impact: 5 Elevated Structures and Floodproofing: For those structures waterward of Water Street, where space is limited between intertidal waters and the structures themselves, elevating the finished floors may be the only means of adaptation, short of complete removal. these historic buildings are important to Port Townsend's identity and elevating floors of historic buildings are likely not a reasonable solution. Smaller elevations will likely be necessary to maintain the historic character of the structures, but they may be combined with selective abandonment of first floors (Eggleston et al. 2021). Although the existing floor elevations are above most of the total water levels described in Table 1, water damage to the understructure of these buildings, commonly from wave splash during the highest tides, does complicate normal uses. For other buildings further landward, it can also be a more reasonable approach to Ap ri 1 2025 is AtTechnical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between HER Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina adaptation, particularly at the edges of the Historic District (i.e., in the Flats District and Point Hudson), where elevations only need to be modest (a few feet) and the structures are built of timber. Efficacy. 4, Cost: 2, Access: 5, Environmental Impact: 3 Retrofit Docks: All of the docks along Water Street (approximately a dozen) will likely have to be retrofitted in the next century. This can be an expensive, complicated undertaking. However, if the existing pilings are creosote treated, it can become a multi -objective project that produces water quality and habitat benefits, improved shoreline use and access, and economic development. Currently, the City's code around these types of structures is limited in regard to adaptation measures. Recommendations for facilitating this work are described below in the Recommended Code Revisions section. Efficacy. 4, Cost: 3, Access: 5, Environmental Impact: 4 (if replacement entails replacement of pollutant - generating structures) IIPeiiriimaineiirft 5"'dill iiii Walls and Berms: Walls and berms are the primary means of protection used in the Port's Waterwalk design (KPFF 2024). They are also one of the most common permanent (i.e., immovable and structural) means to protect areas from flooding in other locales. They are highly effective if designed properly. They tend to be costly and can be difficult to permit if placed waterward of the ordinary high water mark and can produce deleterious geomorphic impacts on adjacent properties (Brucal and Lynham 2020). They can also present shoreline access limitations if they block common access routes. Walls are likely to be required for much of the more aggressive protection alignment due to the lack of space for other protective options (Figure 4). And even then, they may be difficult to implement due to disturbance and fill below the ordinary high water mark. Walls and berms should be designed to accommodate additional sea level rise that is anticipated in the coming decades, which may increase erosion and necessitate future beach nourishment and other habitat and geomorphic improvements. Due to the developed nature of the shoreline and the lack of new sediment input, renourishment is likely to be required. Berms can be constructed to resemble upper beach (foreshore) and backshore habitats and recover lost intertidal areas from development, erosion, and coastal squeeze. Vegetation plantings can enhance resilience, where feasible. Efficacy. 5, Cost: 7, Access: 7, Environmental Impact: 1 Raised Planters: Similar to wall and berms, this more modest type of structure can provide effective flood protection, provided total water level is not significantly above the existing land surface. It also adds green space, while providing reliable protection. It is important that raised planters are contiguous so that floodwaters are retained, although these can disrupt access. As such, they may contribute to access disruptions. However, raised planters could easily be used along Water Street (well above the current ordinary high water mark) in the less -aggressive alignment to protect more inland portions of the Historic District (Figure 4). Efficacy. 5, Cost: 7, Access: 7, Environmental Impact: 1 16 Ap ri 1 2025 At HER Technical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina Elevated Streets and Trails: Like walls and berms these features are common in Port's Waterwalk project. This approach is particularly well suited to the less -aggressive alignment. In this case, the trail could be placed next to the road. Also, since this would all occur well above the ordinary high water mark, the state and federal permit effort is likely to be minimal. Costs may be large if they necessitate other transportation changes. However, an elevated trail along Water Street could impact the character of those structures waterward of Water Street, which would be counter to Eggleston et al. (2021) and would require engagement of the community and potentially local artists. Efficacy. 5, Cost: 7, Access: 3, Environmental Impact: 1 Breakwaters: Since the city's primary issues on its southern shoreline relate to wave energy, it may be possible to delay damage to historic structures from sea level rise by suppressing wave energy using a breakwater. The effectiveness of breakwaters can be seen in the analysis of Blue Coast Engineering (2024), where the lowest total water levels are within the confines of the marina (Table 1), which is protected by a breakwater. Breakwaters are typically employed to reduce erosion and provide still water for marine operations, but they can also be used to reduce storm damage. Breakwaters, particularly when designed in combination with beach nourishment, can produce new nearshore and offshore habitats for aquatic species that have been lost to past development and human modification (e.g., eelgrass, rockfish), though the nearshore geomorphic and habitat composition changes associated with them would need to be investigated in more detail. Efficacy. 7, Cost: 7, Access: 3, Environmental Impact: 3 IIRetiireat 11, tirategy Moving Buildings: Much of the study area being assessed will eventually require permanent flood protection, since the City and its public is not willing to completely abandon its Historic District at this time. Since flooding will continue to get worse over time, retreat represents a reasonable, if sometimes uncomfortable, alternative. While many of the buildings in the Historic District are constructed in such a way as to make it difficult if not impossible to move them, many of the smaller timber structures on the edges of the Historic District are easily movable to higher ground. Moving structures is often much cheaper than the construction (and maintenance) of permanent protective structures. Or moving buildings could facilitate the retention or construction of other protective structures, such that they could be removed and used for mitigation purposes. However, according to input from the public meeting, moving buildings in the Historic District could damage the historical character of this area, which means this strategy may not be feasible. After managed retreat, the vacated area should be restored to natural conditions where possible, using nature -based solutions like living shorelines to buffer future sea level rise impacts. Converting these spaces to public access areas —such as parks or restored coastal habitats —can enhance ecological function, shoreline access and recreational opportunities. Efficacy. 5, Cost: 7, Access: 5, Environmental Impact: 5 Ap ri 12025 17 AtTechnical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between HER Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina mirmirnairy aiiir ° IIII ° iiiii iiin firairn Geineii4° III iiiii The cumulative impacts of these resiliency tools in a single City project are expected to be discrete, since only the southern shoreline of the city is expected to be protected in this way. Protection of small residential properties that are not historically significant, typical of most of the rest of the city, is a fundamentally different problem. Also, the City's SMP specifically regulates areas by shoreline environment designation and changes to the SMP are not being proposed to other areas. For the green alternatives, which are more feasible in the less intensely developed areas, the existing SMP should be sufficient to permit development while protecting nearshore resources. These methods could also be employed in tandem and in a phased manner. A phased approach was quite popular with open house attendees from the local community. For instance, a breakwater could be constructed to reduce wave heights, with other temporary measures installed for those predictable extreme high-water events. Currently, most of structures along the southern shoreline along the City's Waterwalk are not at significant risk to wholesale inundation (i.e., the still water flood levels are well below their finished floors). While inundation risk increases monotonically (consistently and continuously) with time, it is possible that wholesale inundation of most buildings in the Historic District will not occur prior to 2050. However, they are currently at risk from storm -wave damage. Therefore, combining a breakwater with a plan for temporary structures could provide a relatively reliable and ecologically low -impact solution to increase the longevity of the historic structures and the viability of the activities within them without compromising the accessibility of the city's shoreline. This also points to a potentially phased approach to adaptation, where earlier measures allow the City time to reconfigure its low-lying areas for much greater sea level rise at the end of the century, where more intensive measures may be necessary. Table summarizes the scoring tallied in each of the measures. The general public generally favored those strategies that were effective and environmentally friendly, as compared to cost and access, in the meeting held on March 12, 2025. The scoring was not altered in the table, however. This preference, as can be seen in the scoring, would favor structural and green approaches. There was broad agreement that green approaches would not be appropriate in the Historic District but would be appropriate in Point Hudson. There was significant skepticism that retreat was a viable strategy in the Historic District due to the complexities (and feasibility) of moving historic masonry structures, the complications with piecemeal implementation of retreat (i.e., the gaps left behind), and the lack of alternative locations to place historic structures that have been moved. lip 18 Ap ri 1 2025 HERRERA Technical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina ImpactEnvironmental Sealed Street GratesIIIIP Living Shorelines Floodable LandscapesStormwater Management /////////////,,,, / ,//rrrrrrrrrrrrr ,rrrrrrrrrrrrrr,� Elevated Structures v q1 vv 1 v9 Retrofit Docks Walls and Berms Raised Planters u iiiiiii rrr;ii, rrl„% f[f[f[f[ rrrrrrr, rrrrrrrr,EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE[[[ ,,,, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillli Elev♦ .

Although some portions of the Waterwalk will be exempt from federal permits because they are located well above the existing ordinary high water mark (again, the 8.9 feet NAVD 88 will be required, not 8.7 feet NAVD 88 as currently planned), there are numerous actions and locations that will likely trigger federal permits. These actions will likely trigger the need for mitigation, which will be administered by state and federal agencies. Table 7 in Confluence Environmental's report (2024) provides a calculation of mitigation credits, which suggests that the available onsite mitigation will be sufficient to permit the project. Despite the calculation, it is unclear whether these mitigation credit totals will be accepted by the state and federal agencies, particularly since mitigation is not always located where the impacts would occur. In terms of the City's SMP code, in the Larry Scott Trail section, the proposed action is largely in line with the existing SMP. In the Boat Haven boatyard, it is less clear, particularly for those areas where there will be impacts below the ordinary high water mark. The City's current code for Boat Haven allows for bulkheads and revetments, as a conditional use (Port Townsend Municipal Code, Table 5.12-1). Walls, particularly those above the ordinary high water mark, are not mentioned. The City should consider revising the table to include walls outside the ordinary high water mark, since in highly developed places like Boat Haven, the additional impact from their construction is minimal. This characterization would further encourage the Port to develop designs and construction activities to avoid intertidal areas, where the greatest ecological impacts would occur. For the Flats District, there is a greater diversity of shoreline protection. Some of these measures already meet requirements set forth in the SMP. These soft -shore techniques are typically implemented in lower -density development areas (KPFF 2024). In the Flats District, the City could consider allowing flexibility for flood protection structures above the ordinary high water mark, since they will only be implemented in those areas already intensely developed. II1'utuireIIII miiiii iiiii iiiir iII1 i11 S The City's Waterwalk public access route and range of associated protective structures may be much more challenging to permit than the Port's flood protection structure with added access features, depending on the alignment selected because of the constrained nature of shoreline, particularly in the Historic District. The more protective alignment likely would require work below the ordinary high water mark in many locations. These impacts would trigger federal permits, which would require significant mitigation. The identification of mitigation opportunities is beyond the scope of this memorandum. The less -aggressive alignment shown in Figure 4 should be much more feasible from a planning perspective. For instance, this alignment might be able to avoid federal permits altogether, since it lies 20 Ap ri 1 2025 HERRERA Technical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina well outside of the ordinary high water mark and is in an entirely developed area. As such, the only environmental permit that may be required would be a shoreline permit. The SMP should be revised for the Historic District, as described above for the Boat Haven District, to accommodate walls in upland areas, which should facilitate adaptive projects that do not impact vulnerable habitats, even though it was not generally popular with the public open house attendees. Some accommodation should also accompany acceptable tie-in points and foundations for structures that are otherwise above the OHWM. The obvious drawback of the less -aggressive alignment is that it leaves some properties vulnerable to inundation. This issue was deemed unacceptable by a significant portion of the open house polling respondents. However, it is possible that short stretches could be protected in this way; and it is consistent with the public support for effective structural solutions heard during the open house. This would not be a complete approach because some properties may remain vulnerable to inundation. Another, more popular approach would be to phase work and protect historic structures temporarily, such as by adding breakwaters as a conditional use with specific criteria and/or prescriptive standards. To facilitate a decision about SMP revisions, the City should consider a further, more sophisticated evaluation of the city assets at risk. This might include additional technical study to extend the Blue Coast Engineering (2024) model or develop a new model of the Historic District and Point Hudson. The analysis performed by Blue Coast Engineering (2024) was suitable for the small area around Boat Haven, but it might not be appropriate for the Historic District, particularly in the vicinity of Point Hudson where tides, currents, and swell complicate an estimate of total water level. Further, the City could consider incentivizing retreat actions, particularly for any assets that are highly sensitive to coastal flooding. However, the public input from the open house was generally resistant to retreat, at least for the Historic District. There were significant questions about feasibility and the implications of piecemeal movement of structures from the Historic District. Currently, relocation of structures would require a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit. For instance, the City could consider easing permit requirements related to the landward relocation of any structure, since by removal of development, it will necessarily meet the environmental intent of the SMP and help achieve no net loss of ecological function. The City may consider excluding the Historic District from this provision, where the complications raised by the community are most pronounced. The City (and the Port) may also consider a mechanism to re-evaluate sea level rise planning as science evolves and future sea level rises are realized (or not). This may include new provisions for new development or redevelopment that go beyond current requirements, which only factor in expected sea level rise in typical planning horizons (i.e., 30 years or less). This is also under consideration by Ecology as part of their rulemaking process (RCW 90.58.630) and may facilitate future code updates. Along these lines, the City should also consider revision of its Non -Conforming Structures section (Chapter 11). This was generally a popular approach at the public open house. All the commercial and residential overwater structures along Water Street are non -conforming. Currently the city's shoreline code states that if the structures are damaged to greater than one-half of the replacement cost, they must be made conforming. This would likely necessitate their removal in most cases. Since without action all the overwater structures —many of which are historic and therefore sought to be retained as a part of Port Townsend's historic character —are likely to be damaged to this extent beyond 2050, consider allowing non -conforming structures to persist if they are raised above some threshold (e.g., assuming Ap ri 1 2025 21 lip Technical Memorandum I City of Port Townsend Sea Level Rise Resiliency to Address Impacts on Shoreline between HERRERA Downtown and the Boat Haven Boatyard/Marina 5 feet per the City's sea level rise analysis [Port Townsend 2022]). Also consider adding specific sections to Chapter 11 to address floor raising to encourage action prior to damage. Raising of structures, which might include replacement of pollutant -generating piles with more benign steel or concrete piers, could benefit nearshore habitat and water quality as well.

This was the first of two open house events in a series called "Future of OurShorelines."An email reminderwas sent to those on the parties of record list, and signs were posted around the town to advertise the event, using the Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Update branding (see Exhibit 1). The presentation of this first open house was Figure 1: Open House (212012025) designed to feature a more general overview of the SMP Update. This included an overview of the SMA and SMP, the Periodic Review, SMP topics and overview of permit types, merging waterwalk with sea level rise and king tide adaptation, and other miscellaneous bookkeeping. After the presentation, open house participants interacted with staff, asked questions, and provided comments on several large pads of paper located throughout the room. The activity featured the following four questions: • What is important that we get right in the SMP Update? • What are your thoughts and concerns about Sea Level Rise? • What confuses you about Shoreline Permitting or Shoreline Master Programs? • Other questions or concerns? Exhibit 2 features images of each of the completed pad of paper. In addition to the written comments of the boards, the sign -in sheet for the February 20, 2025, event featured a column to include questions or concerns. This generated two different comments: • Hard armoringvs soft revetment • Shoreline armoring/development and long-term priorities On March 12, 2025, City staff and AHBL hosted a second open house at the Cotton Building. Similar methods were used to advertise the event digitally and through flyers (see Exhibit 1). The focus of this second open house was a discussion of sea level rise and potential City responses to it in the SMP. The event featured a staff presentation and a live polling activitywhich encouraged group discussion. Presenters included Emma Bolin and Jenny Murphy of the City of Port Townsend, Dave Nakagawara of the Port of Port Townsend, Jeff Parsons of Herrera Environmental, and Wayne Carlson of AHBL. Page 12 City staff gave an overview of the evening's agenda which included the following: the periodic review and update of Shoreline Master Program (SMP), summary of existing climate change information and resiliency plans (particularlythe Port's Waterwalk project), adaptation actions for City portions of the Waterwalk, and updating SMP development regulations to accommodate publicly preferred adaptation strategies. Jeff Parsons of Herrera summarized the City of Port Townsend's preliminary analysis of potential sea level rise impacts and the Port of Port Townsend's Figure 2: 3112125 Open House Waterwalk design. Other climate change analyses were addressed, like NOAA's 2022 projection of a 6.5-foot sea level rise by the year 2100. Like other city facility designs, staff noted that input will be needed from the public. Staff noted that other opportunities for public engagement related to the SMP Update and Waterwalk project will further inform future design decisions. Exact designs are still being determined and different options were addressed in the presentation. Staff presented the study area to attendees, highlighting the Port's Waterwalk and the existing City Waterwalk. There was a high-level overview of the Port's Waterwalk design approach, and the Port is currently 30% into the design process. There will be a mix of approaches along the entire alignment due to varying characteristics like the presence or absence of structures. There were discussions about funding, cost benefit analysis, a discussion on a phased timing approach, and changing rules from the state. Possible city resiliency measures were addressed, including temporary, green, and structural measures, as well as retreating (or moving buildings) from the shoreline. It was noted that waves are a bigger risk to Port Townsend than sea level rise; although cities like Olympia will experience the opposite impacts. The presentation then transitioned into the polling activity, the results of which can be found in Exhibit 3. The presenters went through each question individually, and some questions and responses featured robust conversation, including: Do you support retreat in the Historic District? There were quite a few "maybe" responses. The intention was that could mean not right now, but retreat could be necessary in the future. One participant noted that sea level rise is not going to stop for hundreds of years. One member of the public shared that if we do not think about retreating now, then there could be less land available to move buildings to in the future. A presenter reminded the audience that retreat means retreating laterally, whereas raising the finished floor of buildings is considered to be green methods. There was also some contention that it is hard to give an opinion; however, these questions are meant more as a higher level, preliminary planning stage. For example, retreatment is not even mentioned in the current version of the SMP. Page 13 Do you support retreat in Port Hudson? There are buildings in this area that can be moved because some have been moved already. Rank the following shoreline resilience strategies for application in the Historic District (1st is most desired to 4th). There are habitat components that can be added to structural elements. The Army Corps of Engineers would likely be involved no matterwhat the chosen measures are. Rank the following shoreline resilience strategies for application in Point Hudson (1st is most desired to 4th). People had confusion over the different methods (structural, green, temporary, etc.). It was noted that it is hard to rank these options without the costs. A presenter explained that structural measures will almost always be the most expensive, at least at first. Temporary may be the cheapest initially, but ongoing costs need to be considered too. Green methods can vary in cost. The SMP requires structures damaged 50% or more be required to meet new and existing shoreline rules. Should this be relaxed? In addition, it was noted that the FEMAfloodplain regulations are going to require that someone elevates their building if there is more than 50% of substantial damage, and the finished floor will have to be above the base flood elevation. One person had concerns about the cost of delaying these projects. The Port (50 yrs) and the City (75 yrs) currently have different infrastructure planning horizons. What approach should the City pursue? It was noted that it is really hard to predict what will happen beyond 2100. Do you have any other concerns that you would like to discuss? • Climate change info is needed • Demolition by neglect of historic buildings and impacts on environment • Is there a I plan for dealingwith derelict buildings that result from policy restrictions? • Keep planning the situation is evolving • Incentivizing long-range planning for viability of a development if it creates permanent impact to shorelines. • Assessing areas of shoreline armoring that can be removed as mitigation. • We need a large public information campaign to urge people, industry, businesses, governments, etc. to reduce their carbon footprints ASAP. • Plan beyond SMP update cycle so a 50-year building isn't built in an area that floods in 30- year • Temporary structures need a total water level forecast available to the public and a communication plan to get the forecast out. Key to the communication plan is a high - resolution topographic map Page 14 • Are there any historically significant coastal cities that have already gone through this exercise and reached feasible solutions? Can we invite someone to share their process/ experiences? • Have any Port Townsend historic buildings already addressed sea level rise in their remodeling plans or actions? What did they do? • Svante Arrhenius figured this out 150 years ago • Tipping points are not adequately addressed in your models and any predictions beyond 2050 are likely low in terms of SLR. Other verbal comments: • It could be helpful to have maps about what is going to be impacted and when. o Staff explained that there is the 100-Year Flood plain (1% annual chance off looding) and additional maps in the memos are available on the website. Next steps: Community Development Director Emma Bolin noted that gathering feedback from the second open house was the last step before revising the draft technical memo. The City periodically updates the SMP, so there will be additional opportunities to revise it in the future as needs change. The next step is modifying the SMP regulations, and those will go through Planning Commission. At least one Planning Commissioner was present at the open house. Page 15 FUTURE OF OUR Ttn� kJ�.

No Keep planning the situation is evolving Keep planning the situation is evolving Are there any historically significant coastal cities that have already gone through this exercise and reached feasible solutions? Can we invite someone to share their process/ experiences? We, need a large public information campaign to urge people, industry, businesses, governments, etc to reduce their carbon footprints ASAP. Tipping points are not adequately addressed in your models and any predictions beyond 2050 are likely low in terms of Si Plan beyond SMP update cycle so a 5O yr building isn't built in an area that floods in 30yr Incentivizing long-range planning for viability of ci development if it creates permanent !impact to shorelines. Assessing areas of shoreline armoring that coo be removed as mitigation. Ild Ritentimeter Do Vou have anV other concerns that Vou would like to discuss? Temporary structures need a total water level forecast available to the Public and a communication plan to get the forecast out. Key to the communication plan, is a high resolution topographic map Is there a I plan for dealing with derelict buildings that result from policy restrictions? Svointe Arrhenius figured this out 150 years ago Have any Port Townsend historic buildings already addressed sea level rise in their remodeling plans or actions? What did they do? Page 112
