The Shoreline Management Act (SMA) requires that the City of Issaquah’s Shoreline Master Program (SMP), be reviewed and revised, if needed, on an eight-year schedule established by the Legislature, also known as “Periodic Review”. The review ensures that Issaquah’s SMP remains current with changes in the following areas: SMA, City plans and regulations, changed circumstances in the environment and, new information and improved data. The Department of Ecology (DOE), provides a periodic review checklist which is used to guide jurisdictions through the periodic review update. Included in this agenda packet are: a) the Periodic Review Checklist (the Gap Analysis Report, conducted by the Watershed Company) which summarizes amendments to State laws adopted between 2007 and 2017, and b) the draft amendments to the SMP.
