(a) New road and bridge construction in shoreline jurisdiction shall be avoided and minimized and allowed only through a conditional use permit when related to and necessary for the support of permitted shoreline activities.

(b) New stream crossings associated with transportation uses shall be avoided if possible and minimized in number and total area impacted (e.g., using perpendicular crossings). Culverts and bridges shall be designed to allow passage of adult and juvenile salmon pursuant to WDFW Fish Passage Guidelines and to accommodate the flow of water, sediment, and woody debris during the 100-year return storm event. Bridge abutments shall be located outside of floodplains and channel migration zones if feasible.

(c) Applicants for new transportation facilities shall demonstrate how such facilities have been planned, located, and designed where routes will have the least possible adverse effect on unique or fragile shoreline features.

(d) Transportation facilities shall result in no net loss of shoreline ecological functions and no adverse impacts on existing or planned water-dependent uses. Mitigation shall be provided as necessary to meet this requirement.

(e) Where feasible, transportation and utility facilities shall be required to make joint use of rights-of-way, and to consolidate crossings of water bodies to minimize adverse impacts to the shoreline.

(f) Circulation system plans within the shoreline shall consider and include appropriate provisions for pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation.

(a) Expansion of existing roadways may be permitted only when the applicant demonstrates that:

(b) Where new roads are proposed, applicants shall demonstrate that efforts have been made to coordinate with existing land use plans, including the City’s comprehensive plan and this master program.

(c) All debris and other waste materials from roadway construction shall be disposed of in such a way as to prevent their entry into any water body.

(d) Roads shall be designed to provide safe pedestrian and nonmotorized vehicular crossings where public access to shorelines is intended.

(e) Any road expansion affecting streams and waterways shall be designed to allow fish passage and minimum impact to habitat.

(f) Streets within shoreline jurisdiction shall be designed with the minimum pavement area required. Gravel and more innovative materials shall be used where feasible for pathways and road shoulders to minimize the amount of impermeable surfaces and help to maintain a more natural appearance.

(g) The City shall give preference to mechanical means for roadside brush control on roads in shoreline jurisdiction rather than the use of herbicides.

(a) Parking facilities shall be located outside of shoreline jurisdiction except to support an authorized shoreline use. Parking as a primary use shall be prohibited in shoreline jurisdiction.

(b) Parking facilities shall provide adequate provisions to control surface water runoff to prevent it from contaminating water bodies.

(c) Parking facilities serving individual buildings on the shoreline shall be located landward from the principal building being served, except when the parking facility is within or beneath the structure and adequately screened or in cases when an alternate orientation would have less adverse impact on the shoreline.

(d) Exterior parking facilities shall be designed and landscaped to minimize adverse impacts upon adjacent shoreline and abutting properties. Exterior parking facilities for nonresidential uses shall be landscaped with vegetation in such a manner that plantings provide effective screening within three years of project completion.

(e) New and reconstructed parking areas within the urban conservancy shoreline environment shall utilize low impact development (LID) techniques as appropriate and as described in the most recent edition of the Low Impact Development Manual: Technical Guidance for Puget Sound.
