(1) Upland environment designations, including high-intensity, medium-intensity, shoreline residential, and urban conservancy, shall apply to shorelands.

(2) Only one environment designation shall apply to a given shoreland area. In the case of different designations occurring parallel to the shoreline, designations shall be divided along an identified linear feature (such as a stream buffer).

(3) Any areas within shoreline jurisdiction that are not mapped and/or designated due to minor mapping inaccuracies in the lateral extent of shoreline jurisdiction from the shoreline water body related to site-specific surveys of ordinary high water mark, associated wetlands, floodway, and/or floodplain are automatically assigned the environment designation of the contiguous waterward shoreline environment designation.

(4) All other areas of shoreline jurisdiction that are neither mapped as jurisdiction nor assigned an environment designation shall be assigned an urban conservancy environment designation until the shoreline area can be redesignated through an SMP amendment process conducted consistent with WAC 173-26-100, as amended, and Article II of this chapter.
