ADDITION OF NEW SECTION 6.21 CHERRY POINT MANAGEMENT UNIT
ADD THE FOLLOWING SECTION:
6.21 CHERRY POINT MANAGEMENT UNIT
1. Cherry Point Management Unit - Definition
The Cherry Point Management Unit is a geographic area defined as all
the shoreline areas within the jurisdiction of the Whatcom County
Shoreline Management Program lying between the eastern property
boundary of Tax Lots 2.27 and 2.28 within the SE 1.4 of Section 11,
Township 39 North, Range 1 West, as it exists on June 18, 1987, and
the southern boundary of Section 32, Township 39 North, Range 1 East,
extending waterward a distance of 5000' and extending landward for 200'
as measured on a horizontal plane from the OHWM. The Cherry Point
Management Unit is represented in the map found in Appendix E of this
program.
2. Cherry Point Management Unit - Purpose, Intent and Format
The purpose of the Cherry Point Management Unit, Section 6.21, is to
provide a regulatory environment which recognizes and balances the
special port, industrial and natural resource needs associated with the
development of this marine resource along a shoreline of statewide
significance, identifies preferred development components of port and
shore - dependent industrial activities consistent with the policies of
the Shoreline Management Act, and clearly sets forth the standards for
such development.
The intent of Section 6.21 is to organize policies and regulations
applicable to the Cherry Point Management Unit's geographic area in
order to present clear and concise policy direction for development,
minimize regulatory confusion, and eliminate conflicting or duplicative
shoreline regulations. The policies and regulations found in this
section are supplemental to those found in Title 20 of the Official
Whatcom County Zoning Ordinance, and are directed specifically toward
the shoreline environment.
The format of Section 6.21 differs from that of other sections in
Chapter 6 of the program in that it is organized by geographic area and
the Cherry Point Management Unit designation rather than by type of
development.
3. Cherry Point Management Unit - General Policies
The general policies apply to all development within the jurisdiction
of the Cherry Point Management Unit:
A. Port Development
The development of pier on piling and floating public and private
marine cargo transfer terminal facilities is encouraged as the
preferred use in the Cherry Point Management Unit. Port develop-
ment that requires dredge and fill not associated with the
construction and operation of the preferred uses has not been
permitted in the Cherry Point Management Unit due to its poten-
tially adverse effects on the natural environment, including fish
and shellfish habitat and geo- hydraulic processes. Further,
Washington State natural resource agencies have identified certain
portions of the Cherry Point Management Unit as a herring spawning
bed and have prohibited dredge and fill activities therein.
Consequently, it is the polic
facilities which require dredge
construction and operation of
prohibited until such time that
impact of such development will

avoid adverse effects to the
B. Shore - Dependent and Shore - Related Industrial Development
The development of shore - dependent and shore - related industrial
facilities is encouraged in the Cherry Point Management Unit.
Those facilities that require access to the shoreline should be
given preference over other types of development.
C. Approval of Non -User Permit Applications
Property owners within the Cherry Point Management Unit or their
agents are encouraged to develop port or shore - dependent or shore -
related development projects, even though an user of the
development project may not be identified. Development of
projects should be of sufficient detail to allow review under the
standards set forth in this section and the regulations of other
agencies with .jurisdiction in the Cherry Point Management Unit.
Owners or their agents are further encouraged to make application
for the permits and approvals necessary for implementing the
development projects as a means of identifying and resolving
specific development issues, such as natural resource mitigation
and overall development cost estimates including mitigation,
municipal service provisions, and operational requirements.
Approval of nonuser permits will decrease regulatory and
development cost uncertainties for actual user - operated
development projects.
In the event an approved nonuser permit does not have an actual
user prior to the date the permit would normally expire, the
nonuser permit should remain valid to the maximum extent allowed
by law.
D. Multiple Use Facilities
Facilities that allow for the multiple use of piers, cargo
handling, storage, parking and other accessory facilities are
encouraged.
E. Shore - Defense Works
Shore - defense works should be allowed for protection of existing
and new developments when protection from wave action is required
for operational safety and economic feasibility.
F. Public Access
Port and Industrial Development within the Cherry Point Management
Unit is encouraged to provide public beach and shoreline access in
a manner that does not cause interference with operations or haz-
ards to life and property. Developers may accomplish such access
through individual action or by joint, coordinated action with
other developers and landowners, for example, by setting aside a
common public access area.
Special emphasis should be given to providing public beach and
shoreline access for opportunities such as crabbing, small craft
launching, surf fishing, picnicking, clamming, beach walking, and
overnight camping in the vicinity of Gulf Road, and secondarily in
the vicinity of Aldergrove /Point Whitehorn roads and any other
sites that may become available.
The Parks and Recreation Board of Whatcom County should prepare a
Cherry Point Shoreline Access Plan to be approved by the Whatcom
County Council. This plan should be based on the 1976 "Marine
Shorelines Study of Public Access and Recreation Sites in Whatcom
County."
G. Natural Resource Protection
Diverse and vital natural resources such as fish and wildlife
habitats; marine and upland interactions in the shore- process
corridor including littoral drift, natural wetlands, feeder bluffs
and accretion shoreforms, and; aesthetic vistas of land, water and
the San Juan Archipelago are important ingredients of development
in the Cherry Point Management Unit. All development in the
Cherry Point Management Unit should be designed, constructed and
operated in a manner to avoid or minimize adverse effects to the
shoreline environment.
Several state and federal resource agencies have regulatory juris-
diction over activities within the Cherry Point Management Unit.
Proposals must be consistent with the regulations and policies of
these agencies. Project proponents are encouraged to contact these
agencies at the earliest stage of project development to determine
applicable regulations and policies.
Fish and Wildlife
a. Development should avoid or minimize impacts on fish and
wildlife resources and habitats.
b. Research to determine methods to protect and enhance
fish and wildlife habitats is encouraged.
Geohydraulic Process
a. Development should avoid or minimize interference with,
and when possible, maintain basic geohydraulic
processes.
Aesthetics
a. All development should be designed to avoid or minimize
the negative visual impact on the scenic character of
the area.
Water Quality
a. All development should be constructed and operated in a
manner which will avoid or minimize adverse impact to
existing water quality standards for both fresh and
marine waters. Sediment quality will also have to be
maintained so there are no adverse effects.
Surface Drainage
a. All development should be designed to prevent large
volume storm runoff from having a negative impact on
adjacent shore uses or resources.
Site Suitability
a. Development should be on sites of sufficient size and
located such that the site and surroundings are capable
of accommodating the impacts of development.
i Accretion Shoreform
a. Development should be prohibited on the accretion
shoreform as identified on the map in Appendix E, other
than recreation development for public and quasi - public
shoreline access, subject to the regulations in this
section and consistent with the conservancy and aquatic
shoreline designation policies and regulations of
Section 6.14.

AMENDMENTS TO APPENDIX C: DEFINITIONS
MODIFY:
24. Breakwaters are offshore structures generally built parallel to shore
that may or may not be connected to land, and may be floating or
stationary. Their primary purpose is to protect harbors, moorages and
navigation activity from wave and wind action by creating stillwater
areas along shore. A secondary purpose would be to protect shorelines
from wave - caused erosion. Most breakwaters in the Pacific Coast are
rip -rap mound construction. Several include ancillary sand by- passing
operations.
ADD NEW DEFINITION:
46. Excavation is the removal, displacement. and disposal of unconsolidated
earth material such as silt, sand, gravel, soil, rock or other material
from all areas landward of OHWM including berms, backshore, natural
wetlands, flood plains and uplands. This definition does not include
archaeolooical excavation.
