(Ord. 3774-20 § 3 (Exh. 2), 2020.) <br />Article IV. Shoreline Permit Procedures <br />15.02.300 Shoreline permit procedures. <br />A. Shoreline Permit Issuance. <br />1. Letter of Exemption. Whenever a development is determined by the city to be exempt <br />from substantial development permit requirements and the development is subject to a <br />United States Army Corps of Engineers Section 10 permit under the River and Harbor Act of <br />1899, or a Section 404 permit under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, the <br />planning director shall prepare a letter addressed to the applicant and the Department of <br />Ecology, exempting the development from the shoreline permit requirements of this <br />chapter. This exemption letter shall be substantially as described in WAC 173-27-050. <br />2. When Construction Authorized. Development under a shoreline permit shall not begin <br />and shall not be authorized until twenty-one days from the date of filing, or until all review <br />proceedings, initiated within twenty-one days from the date of such filing, have been <br />terminated, except as provided in RCW 90.58.140(5)(b) and (c). <br />a. For purposes of a substantial development permit, “date of filing” means the date <br />the decision is actually received by the Department of Ecology. For purposes of any <br />permit that requires a variance or a conditional use, the “date of filing” means the date <br />a decision by the Department of Ecology is transmitted to the city of Everett. <br />b. In addition, each permit for a substantial development, conditional use, or variance <br />issued by the city should contain a provision that construction is not authorized until <br />twenty-one days from the date of filing, or until all review proceedings initiated within <br />twenty-one days from the date of such filing have been terminated, except as provided <br />in RCW 90.58.140(5)(b). Absence of the provision in a shoreline permit shall not affect <br />enforcement of this requirement.
