Pasco planners preview Shoreline Master Program user guide and ecological tracking tool

Planning staff used a listening session to walk residents through a draft Shoreline Master Program user guide funded by the Washington State Department of Ecology and to solicit feedback on implementation. The presenter explained that Pasco’s shoreline jurisdiction is a narrow ~200‑foot band along the Columbia and Snake rivers and illustrated environment designations that range from aquatic and natural to high‑intensity industrial and shoreline residential.
