A. The shoreline master program is a part of and is intended to be consistent with the city of Lynnwood comprehensive plan.

B. It is the intent of the city that those subsections of Section 4: “General Policies,” Section 5: “Specific Shoreline Uses,” Section 6: “Shoreline Modification,” entitled “Regulations,” and all of Section 7: “Administrative Regulations” shall be regulatory in nature and mandatory and that no use, development or activity is allowed unless it specifically complies with each applicable provision thereof.

C. The remainder of the shoreline master plan is intended to serve as the policy for shoreline uses, developments and activities, the basis of the regulatory sections, and to assist the city in determining whether to grant, modify or deny any proposed use, development or activity.

D. The definitions in the glossary (Appendix A) to the shoreline master plan shall apply in the shoreline master plan and this title unless from the context another meaning is clearly intended. The definitions in Chapter 90.58 RCW are hereby adopted by reference and also apply in this title. If there is a difference between the glossary and Chapter 90.58 RCW the more detailed definition shall apply unless such would lead to an inconsistency, in which case the definitions supplied by RCW 90.58 shall apply.

E. The uses, developments and activities regulated in this chapter may also be regulated by the Lynnwood zoning code, various other provisions of the Lynnwood Municipal Code and state and federal laws. All uses, developments and activities within the shoreline jurisdiction shall comply with all requirements of all applicable regulations. In the event of a conflict between regulations, the most restrictive regulation shall apply. (Ord. 2890 § 3, 2011)
