Exhibit 1 13 <br /> 3. Regulations in the SMP that Promote Restoration of Shoreline Function <br /> • Where nonwater-dependent/related commercial uses are proposed, restoration of the <br /> shoreline and public access are required (essentially as the water oriented component <br /> of the proposal). (SMP Regulation 2 on page 5-26, EMC 19.37) <br /> • For nonwater-dependent residential, recreational, and industrial uses, the biological <br /> assessment and buffer width/enhancement requirements of EMC 19.37 apply to the <br /> river and any associated wetlands. Buffers can be no less than 50 feet when <br /> enhanced. Public access may be located in buffers (SMP Regulation 18 on page 3- <br /> 32). <br /> • As redevelopment occurs, unnecessary impervious surfaces shall be removed and <br /> shoreline buffers enhanced/restored, except as necessary for access to the water. The <br /> Planning Director can require redesign to minimize impacts to existing vegetation and <br /> to provide for buffer enhancement. (SMP Regulation 11 on page 3-31) <br /> • When restoring and enhancing buffers along the Snohomish River, overhanging <br /> vegetation shall be provided when feasible. (SMP Regulation 20 on page 3-32) <br /> • Stormwater facilities such as wetponds are prohibited in buffers for the Snohomish <br /> River (Category 1 streams and wetlands).
