23.60A.168

A. This Section 23.60A.168 applies to all applications for lot boundary adjustments, short subdivisions and subdivisions, excluding unit lot subdivisions, on parcels within the Shoreline District, in addition to the standards in other chapters of this Title 23 . B. Lots shall be divided and lot boundaries shall be adjusted so that each lot contains an area for a principal structure, necessary accessory structures, and necessary walkways and for access to that area that is: 1. Outside the required shoreline setback for the applicable shoreline environment; and 2. Outside priority habitat as provided in Section 23.60A.160 and, for subdivisions and short plats, complies with subsection 23.60A.156.K. C. Lots shall be divided and lot boundaries shall be adjusted to prevent the need for shoreline stabilization for development, for the life of the development, by establishing on the plat or lot boundary adjustment plan the location of future structures a distance from the shoreline that allows natural shoreline processes, including shoreline erosion, to occur without threatening the stability of the development. D. Lots shall be configured to protect ecological functions, including priority habitat as provided in Section 23.60A.160 and environmentally critical areas as provided in Section 23.60A.156 , by: 1. For subdivisions and short subdivisions, establishing a separate tract or lot with each owner having an undivided interest; or 2. Establishing non-disturbance areas on individual lots as follows: a. Non-disturbance areas shall be recorded on the plat for short subdivisions and subdivisions and for lot boundary adjustments and shall be legibly shown and described on the site plan; and b. Recording a covenant as described in Section 25.09.335 . E. Newly created waterfront lots and lots reconfigured to have new water frontage are restricted to water-dependent or water-related uses or to single-family residential uses; this shall be recorded on the plat or site plan and in the covenant. F. Regulated public access is required as provided in Section 23.60A.164 for the subdivision of land into more than four parcels. The area of public access provided shall be equivalent to the total of the minimum area required for each newly created parcel, may be located in one location, and shall be shown on the plat.
