(a) No new development, construction or use shall occur within shoreline jurisdiction without obtaining a development authorization in accordance with the provisions of this title, except for those provided for in Sections 16.03.050 (Exceptions to local review) and 16.03.090 (Exemptions). Exemptions, as provided for in Section 16.03.090, shall be considered as development authorization, including those taking place on federal lands and requiring permits or review as provided in Section 16.01.060 (Applicability of permit system to federal agencies) but qualifying for other exemptions under this chapter. All proposed uses and development occurring within shoreline jurisdiction must conform to Chapter 90.58 RCW, the Shoreline Management Act, and this master program.

(b) With respect to application and review procedures, it is the intent of this title to streamline and coordinate the authorization of critical area projects which require other local, state and/or federal permits or authorizations. Any nonexempt development, construction or use occurring within shoreline jurisdiction shall be processed according to the provisions of this chapter and the critical area ordinance (Chapter 11.50).

(c) Approval of a development authorization under this title shall be in addition to, and not a substitute for, any other development permit or authorization required by the city of Selah. Approval of a development authorization under this title shall not be interpreted as an approval of any other permit or authorization required of a development, construction or use.

(d) Permits issued in accordance with this title shall run with the land. (Ord. 2123, § 1 (Att.), 2021.)
