SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAMS |
Burien Shoreline Master Program Comprehensive UpdateOn April 22, 2011, the Department of Ecology approved, with required and suggested changes, the Burien comprehensive update of their Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The comprehensive update revises the existing shoreline program, including the goals, policies, regulations, shoreline environment designations, and administrative procedures and definitions. The required and suggested changes have been sent to the City for their review and response. Burien’s current SMP has not been updated since the City began implementing King County’s SMP at the time of incorporation. Shorelines in Burien include approximately 5.5 miles of marine shoreline and Lake Burien. This comprehensive update of the SMP will promote protection and restoration of the riparian habitat along shorelines and recognize the City's historic land use pattern. The required changes include the assurance of continued residential development while protecting existing ecological functions and providing opportunities for mitigation and restoration.
