RE: Mason County Shoreline Master Program User Guide—Community Input Needed
Mason County is developing a Shoreline Master Program (SMP) User Guide to better
convey regulatory provisions, mitigation requirements, and development allowances
within shoreline jurisdiction. Shoreline jurisdiction roughly includes areas 200 feet
landward and in-water marine shorelines, lakes 20 acres or greater, rivers of a certain size
and associated wetlands, shown here: https://masoncounbMa.gov/community-
services/smp-update/2017/SMP-SED-082017.pdf.This guide will be made available as an
interactive online website on the County Community Development webpage. The public
is invited to provide feedback within the next month to guide this effort through the
following survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Z77F6NC.
This project is made possible through a Department of Ecology grant with work set to
conclude by the end of June 2023.
