Exhibit "c"
Downrigger' s
Shoreline Substantial Development Permit SMA 94(07)143
Finding:
1. The request is for approval of a 770 square foot deck and an exterior stairway to the
north end of the Landing Terminal, to allow for outdoor dining at Downrigger's
Restaurant.
2. The proposed deck projects eleven feet from the building but is not over-water at mean
low fide.
3. At the ordinary high water mark the proposed deck will be over-water by a vertical
distance of twenty-one feet.
4i The Shoreline Master Program identifies the site as Urban, and the following regulations
have been found to be the most relevant: General Regulations C. 1, 2, 6 & 7; and Use
Activities F. 1.a., c & e.
5. Use Activity F. 1.e prohibits over water construction of commercial facilities in the urban
environment unless the commercial facility is in direct support of a water dependent use.
6. The deck would be constructed to provide outdoor dining for a restaurant, which is a
water-enjoyment use.
7. The deck would result is a minor addition to an existing building which would allow
continued public views of the harbor from the restaurant and would not block public
views from other perspectives.
8. The deck would be directly above a riprap revetment.
9. According to the most recent analysis, required parking for the Landing Terminal under
the interim parking ordinance is 90 spaces. The deck addition would require an
additional four spaces. There are 103 spaces provided.
10. The site is zoned CBD and designated Central Business District in the Comprehensive
Plan.
11. The Port of Port Angeles, acting as lead agency, issued a Determination of Non-
Significance for the project on April 27, 1994.
12. At low tide, the proposed deck is not over-water.
2822
13. Substantial public access already exists on-site and in the vicinity.
14. The provision prohibiting over-water commercial construction has been eliminated in the
Clallam County Shoreline Master Program and is under consideration for elimination in
the City of Port Angeles draft Shoreline Master Program.
15. Testimony indicated that the prohibition of over-water commercial construction in large
part arose out of much larger projects that would result in substantial detrimental effects
to the public's access to the water.
Conclusions:
A. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the Port Angeles Shoreline Master Program.
B. The restaurant use is consistent with the Central Business District designations of the site
in the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.

patterns in the Harbor, nor will it adversely affect the natural environment of the
shoreline.
D. The intent of the Shoreline Management Act to preserve the water for public access and
navigation is not harmed by the proposed development.
