All proposed uses, activities, or development occurring within shoreline jurisdiction must conform to the intent and requirements of Chapter 90.58 RCW, the SMA, and this SMP whether or not a permit or other form of authorization is required. See Chapter 13.05 BMC for the shoreline jurisdiction description and Chapter 13.03 BMC for the definition of uses, activities, and development. Uses, activities or development that would not result in exterior alteration of structures, nor alter soils, vegetation, critical areas, nor interfere with the normal public use of the surface of the waters are not subject to the SMP.

The SMP applies to shoreline jurisdiction in the city limits and predesignates shoreline jurisdiction in the Bothell planning area; this SMP will apply to shorelines in the planning area upon annexation.

Pursuant to WAC 173-27-060, direct federal agency activities, such as adopting a management plan for a wildlife sanctuary, dredging a new navigation channel or purchasing land for a recreation area, affecting shoreline jurisdiction must be consistent with the SMA, SMP guidelines, and this SMP.

As recognized by RCW 90.58.350, the provisions of this SMP shall not affect treaty rights of Indian Nations or tribes. (Ord. 2112 § 3 (Exh. C), 2013).
