Omak adopts updated Shoreline Master Program and amends municipal code (Resolution 02-2026; Ordinance 1964)
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution 02-2026 adopting an updated Shoreline Master Program after state and agency review, then enacted Ordinance 1964 to amend Chapter 18.21 of the Omak Municipal Code to align with the SMP.
Building Official Tyler Wells told the council that the updated Shoreline Master Program (SMP) went through multiple public meetings and review by the Washington State Department of Ecology and Department of Fish & Wildlife; the changes are required by state statute. On Member Steve Clark's motion, seconded by Member Nattalie Cariker, the council unanimously approved Resolution 02-2026 adopting the updated SMP.
Later in the meeting the council approved Ordinance 1964, which modifies Omak Municipal Code Chapter 18.21 (Shoreline Management) to reflect the SMP updates. The minutes indicate the SMP amendments and the municipal-code change are companion actions required to comply with state shoreline rules; the council recorded no opposing votes.
