15.14.240 Interpretation of environment designation boundaries.
A. If disagreement develops as to the exact location of an environment designation boundary line, the official shoreline maps shall prevail.
B. If disagreement develops as to the exact location of an environment designation boundary line, the following rules shall apply:
1. Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot, tract, or section lines shall be so construed. Where boundary line adjustments or other modifications are not indicated on the official shoreline maps and where the adjustments involve two or more parcels with different environment designations, a designation of shoreline residential shall be assigned to shoreline jurisdiction on the subject properties until the shoreline can be redesignated through an SMP amendment.
2. Boundaries indicated as approximately following roads or rail lines shall be respectively construed to follow the nearest right-of-way edge.
3. Boundaries indicated as approximately parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsection (B)(1) or (B)(2) of this section shall be so construed.
C. In the event of an environment designation mapping error, the shoreline administrator shall utilize the criteria contained in RCW 90.58.030(2), Chapter 173-22 WAC, and the environment designation criteria contained in this SMP to establish the appropriate environment designation. Appeals of such interpretations may be filed pursuant to SPMC 15.14.650. [Ord. 580 Att. A § 3.2.5, 2019.]
