It is consistent not only with the needs of the City,but also with the policy and procedural requirements of the Shoreline Management Act and the Shoreline Master Program Guidelines. As we have already discussed with your staff,the Washington State Department of Ecology(Ecology)approves the proposed amendment, subject to the City's agreement to the required changes detailed in Attachment B. The findings and conclusions that support Ecology's decision are also enclosed (Attachment A). Because a change is required,the amendment will not become effective until Ecology receives written notice that the City agrees to the changes'. The effective date of the SMP limited amendment will be the date on which Ecology receives written notice of your agreement. If you do not agree to the changes listed in Attachment B,then pursuant to WAC 173-26- 120(7)(b)(ii),you may propose to Ecology alternative amendments consistent with the scope of the original submittal,SMA policy and the applicable guidelines. At that point,Ecology will need to review and approve the alternative amendment(s)before they become effective. As a reminder,shoreline procedural rules2 require the City to publish a notice that Ecology has taken final action on this SMP update. Therefore,once Ecology acknowledges receipt of your written agreement,the City should publish a public notice to start a required appeal period. WAC I73-26-120(7)(b)(i) 2 WAC 173-26-120(9)
