Procedures for obtaining shoreline substantial development permits, shoreline special use approvals, shoreline conditional use permits and shoreline variance permits
Seattle Mun. Code § 23.60A.063
in effectA. Procedures for application, notice of application and notice of decision for a shoreline substantial development permit, shoreline special use approvals, shoreline conditional use permits, and shoreline variance permit are as required for a Master Use Permit in Chapter 23.76 . B. The applicant has the burden of proving that a substantial development, shoreline special use, shoreline conditional use or shoreline variance meets the applicable criteria. The applicant may be required to submit information or data, in addition to that routinely required with permit applications, sufficient to enable the Director to evaluate the proposed development, shoreline modification, or use or to prepare any necessary environmental documents. C. In addition to other requirements provided in this Chapter 23.60A , the Director may attach to the permit or authorization any conditions necessary to carry out the spirit and purpose of and to assure compliance with this Chapter 23.60A and RCW 90.58.020. Such conditions may include changes in the location, design, and operating characteristics of the development or use. Performance bonds not to exceed a term of five years may be required to ensure compliance with the conditions, except for public agencies. D. Nothing in this Section 23.60A.063 shall be construed to limit the Director's authority to condition or deny a project pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act. (Ord. 124105 , § 3, 2013.)
