Nonconforming structures

Nonconforming and SMPs Isn’t this in the WAC? Yes, but… (applies only if your SMP doesn’t cover it) Your SMP can be different than WAC

Nonconforming and SMPs Basic information SHB and court cases WAC Permits SMP examples Considerations

Nonconforming basics Lawfully established or built Prior to effective date of SMA/SMP Do not conform to current SMP Use - no longer allowed in environment Structure –inconsistent with bulk, setback, height, density Not consistent w/ community vision

Nonconforming basics Can continue to exist Long term goal: eliminate Nonconformity cannot increase Abandoned: NC status expires Reality: many exist for a long time

SHB and Court cases Rhod-a-zalea v. Snohomish County NC uses disfavored; restrict so they phase out Jefferson Co. v. Seattle Yacht Club NC uses disfavored SHB 95-6 If setbacks not intended to phase out residential use, invites piecemeal granting of variances

SMA & Guidelines SMA: silent on nonconforming Guidelines: address nonconforming uses and properties (WAC (2)(a)(iii)(A)

WAC Conforming use, NC structures OK to maintain & repair Can expand, but not increase extent of nonconformity NC uses cannot expand, except for SFR Structure that needed variance Legal nonconforming structure NC regulations apply

WAC NC development that is damaged Up to 75%, may be rebuilt to prior configurations Apply within 6 months Complete restoration within 2 years of permit NC use that is discontinued NC rights expire Subsequent use shall be conforming

Recent permits Snohomish County Proposal – add 2 nd story, unheated attic, same footprint New house underway Ecology denied variance SHB Adding 16’ of height increases encroachment Setback line extends into the air

Recent permits West Seattle Proposal – Add partial 3 rd story, additions Stringline setback – nearest shoreside corners SMP – No expansion in any manner that increases extent of NC Ecology denied variance

SMP examples Bellingham CUP needed to expand NC structure No expansion toward shoreline Must meet 35–ft height restriction No increase in impervious surface Commercial – public access, restoration may be required Residential - buffer enhancement may be required

SMP examples Port Townsend NC use discontinued for 365 continuous days loses NC status NC structure damaged more than 50% replacement cost must conform to SMP to be restored NC residential structures destroyed may be rebuilt Commercial, marine, etc. – interior, nonstructural changes OK, limited to 50% replacement cost over 5 years

SMP examples Whatcom County Expansion of SFR needs CUP Can go upland & into side yards No expansion waterward or into side yard setback Can go higher if meet view blockage requirements Buffer planting needed Expanding waterward, into side yard setback or above height standards needs variance

SMP examples Pt. Roberts salmon cannery Whatcom proposed SMP revisions CUP to require public access, beach planting Hotel/restaurant - change roofline, water views for guests

Considerations Vashon shoreline Shoreline with lots of NC structures Is variance needed for new development Consider appropriate designations and regulations

Considerations Address nonconforming regulations in cumulative impact analysis Is no net loss achieved? Time frame for abandonment Maximum % destroyed & allowed to rebuild What does zoning code allow? NC structures can be rebuilt to same footprint & height prior to destruction

Conclusion Guidelines allow some flexibility Nonconformities need to be managed Think it through; show your work Ecology considers statewide interest, public access, habitat restoration
