A. Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to provide a review process for changes to an already approved Shoreline Permit.

B. Review Process.

1. A formal revision is required whenever the applicant proposes substantive changes to the design, terms, or conditions of an already approved shoreline permit. Changes are substantive if they materially alter the project in a manner that relates to its conformance to the terms and conditions of the permit or approval, Shoreline Management Act (Act), and this Title.

2. The applicant shall provide detailed plans and text describing the proposed changes.

3. If the County determines that the proposed changes are within the scope and intent of the original permit and are consistent with the Act and this Title, the County may administratively approve a revision without a public hearing, even if the original permit required a public hearing and approval by the Hearing Examiner. "Within the scope and intent of the original permit" means all of the following:

a. No additional overwater construction in an Aquatic SED, except that pier, dock, or float construction may be increased by 500 square feet, or 10 percent from the provisions of the original permit, whichever is less;

b. Ground area coverage and height may be increased a maximum of 10 percent from the provisions of the original permit;

c. The revised permit does not authorize development to exceed height, lot coverage, buffer, or any other requirements of Title 18S PCC except as authorized under a Shoreline Variance granted as the original permit or a part thereof;

d. Additional or revised landscaping is consistent with any conditions attached to the original permit and with Title 18S PCC;

e. The use authorized pursuant to the original permit is not changed; and

f. No adverse environmental impact will be caused by the project revision.

4. Revisions to permits may be authorized after original permit authorization has expired under RCW 90.58.143. The purpose of such revisions shall be limited to authorization of changes which are consistent with this Section and which would not require a permit for the development or change proposed under the terms of Chapter 90.58 RCW, this regulation, and the Master Program. If the proposed change constitutes substantial development, then a new permit is required. Provided, this subsection shall not be used to extend the time requirements or to authorize substantial development beyond the time limits of the original permit.

5. If the sum of the revision and any previously approved revisions violate the decision criteria of this Section, the County shall require that the applicant apply for a new permit.
