Client Assistance Memos (CAMs)
CAM 229, Residential Use of a Vessel, House Barge or Floating Home
|
| For the Department of Planning and Development (DPD), the City department responsible for enforcing shoreline regulations and other laws that govern construction on land and over water in Seattle, the distinction between the residential use of a floating home, house barge or vessel is a crucial one.
DPD must often determine if a questionable residence over water is a floating home, house barge, or vessel. This Client Assistance Memo is intended to assist owners of floating homes, house barges, and vessels in determining which of these categories applies to their property, so they can comply with Seattle’s Shoreline Master Program (SSMP) rules as contained in Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) Chapter 23.60. |
