Once determined; the appropriate shoreline development regulations can be applied to the proposal.

Supplemental Information	Where designations overlap BOTH designations apply. All shoreline designations include "associated" wetlands and floodplains whether or not they are indicated explicitly in the water feature's description. SAO Wetlands layer and FEMA Floodplain layer were used. Boundaries between designations are perpendicular to the shoreline unless otherwise specified (as a property line). This layer shows the boundaries of various Shoreline Environments assigned to the Shorelines of the State by King County's Shoreline Management Master Program, as adopted from the Shorelines Management Act of 1971.

Attribute information

Shape From ESRI	Description Feature Geometry Domain Coordinates defining the features
DESCRIPTIO From DDES	Description Environmental Designations Domain Urban - The purpose of designating the urban environment is to ensure optimum utilization of the shorelines of the state within urbanized areas by permitting intesive use and by managing development so that it enhances and maintains the shorelines of the state for a multiplicity of urban uses. Rural - The purpose of designating the rural environment is to restrict intensive development, function as a buffer between urban areas, and maintain open spaces and opportunities for recreational uses, within the ecological carrying capacity of the land and water resource. Conservancy - Conservancy areas are intended to maintain their existing character Natural - The purpose of designating the Natural environment is to preserve and restore those natural resource systems existing relatively free of human influence. Urban/Rural - Those areas located in both Urban and Rural designations Rural/Conservancy - Those areas located in both Rural and Conservancy designations Not in Shoreline MMP area - Locations outside of designated areas
