The city of Bothell requires the issuance of a shoreline substantial development permit for any development as defined within Chapter 13.03 BMC and WAC 173-27-040(2)(a) where the total cost or fair market value of the development exceeds $5,000 as adjusted for inflation by the Washington State Office of Financial Management or any development that materially interferes with the normal public use of the water or shorelines of the state.

A. Applications for a shoreline substantial development permit shall follow the applicable requirements of BMC 13.17.080 and the following in subsections B to D of this section:

B. Applications for a shoreline substantial development permit shall follow the procedures for a Type II development application pursuant to BMC Title 11, Administration of Development Regulations, except as otherwise provided in this section.

C. If the proposal that requires a substantial development permit also required a shoreline conditional use permit or shoreline variance, the application permit process shall follow the highest-numbered procedure type that applies to any of the applications. For example, a development that requires both a shoreline substantial development permit and a shoreline conditional use permit shall follow the higher Type III application procedure.

D. SDP applications shall be consistent with the criteria for approval in BMC 13.17.090(B)(3).

E. Decision. An appeal of a shoreline substantial development permit shall be to the Bothell hearing examiner and shall be filed pursuant to the procedures of BMC 11.14.005. Appeals of the Bothell hearing examiner’s decision shall be to the state Shorelines Hearings Board and shall be filed within 21 days of the date of filing as set forth in RCW 90.58.180. (Ord. 2280 § 13, 2019; Ord. 2112 § 3 (Exh. C), 2013).
