Shoreline Master
Program
The city of Monroe has updated its Shoreline
Master Program (SMP), in accordance with the Growth Management Act
(GMA) and requirements of the Washington State Department of Ecology
(DOE). The city began this process in 2001, with a shoreline
inventory of the Skykomish River and Woods Creek. The city received
a grant from the DOE to complete the update, which resulted in the
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Monroe Municipal Code.
The city received final approval of the updated SMP from DOE in July
2008.
Downtown Sub-Area
Plan
A sub-area plan is a land use plan for a specific
geographical area, in this case historic downtown Monroe. The
focus of this plan is to review the overall land use pattern, uses,
and infrastructure to enhance economic vitality and promote a greater
sense of community. To accomplish this, an inventory of existing
conditions is generated including, but not limited to, land use patterns,
public facilities and utilities, traffic patterns, and off-street
parking. A comprehensive environmental review will take place for
potential development alternatives. Goal and policy statements will
be created to guide future development of this area and incorporate
these findings into the City of Monroe Comprehensive Plan. Finally,
development standards will be adopted into the zoning code, MMC Title
18, to implement the new goals and policies for this sub-area.
