Shoreline Alternative Master The Seattle Shoreline Alternative Mitigation Plan will change the way Ecology
Plan that the city implements its Shoreline Master Program for the
shoreline between the Hiram Chittenden Locks and the Montlake Cut.
Currently, on-site shoreline mitigation and public access requirements
limit the development potential of industrial sites and reduce potential
shoreline and open space benefits. Industrial development is limited
due to reduced development potential of shoreline properties and a
sometimes lengthy permitting timeline. Potential shoreline and open
space benefits are reduced because specific mitigation projects are
spread throughout the planning area rather than concentrated for
greater benefit or placed in locations offering the best opportunity for
restoration. Main purpose is to set up a structure of off-site mitigation.
Both habitat/ecological function and public access could be mitigated
by paying to fund to provide this function in other areas within the
Lake Union/Ship Canal waterfront area. Includes a plan to quantify
and measure ecological function.
Shoreline Master Program Chapter of city municipal code intended to implement the policy and Ecology
provisions of the Shoreline Management Act and the Shoreline Goals
and olicies of the Seattle Comprehensive Plan by regulating
development of the shorelines of the City in order to:
1. Protect the ecosystems of the shoreline areas;
2. Encourage water-dependent uses;
3. Provide for maximum public use and enjoyment of the shorelines of
the City; and
4. Preserve, enhance and increase views of the water and access to
the water.
Shoreline Streetends Shoreline Street Ends are those platted streets that run into water and Neighborhood Planning
Program (SDOT) provide access and/or views of Lake Washington, Lake Union or
Puget Sound. The City has 149 shoreline street ends (77 are currently
public?). City Resolution 29370, adopted in September 1996,
identified shoreline street ends as a scarce and valuable public
resource which should be open for the enjoyment and benefit of the
public. This policy was adopted after much public discussion and
careful consideration. Ordinance 119673 was adopted in October
1999 to establish a new type of permit and a new fee schedule for
permitting private uses of the shoreline street ends. Although the
ultimate goal is to remove private uses of these street ends, the
permit process acknowledges some private uses will continue. No
projects happening at the moment. Opportunity for creating open

designations that encourage mixed use development. Other
strategies include encouraging rural land being used for agriculture
