Client Assistance Memos (CAMs)
CAM 328, Environmentally Critical Areas Exceptions
|
| City of Seattle regulations for environmentally critical areas (ECAs) (Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) Chapter 25.09) affect geologic hazard areas, steep slope areas, flood-prone areas, wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, and abandoned landfills.
An applicant may request the Director of the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) to modify ECA development standards. This Client Assistance Memo (CAM) sets out the circumstances and submittal requirements under which such an application can be considered, and includes an application form. A CAM is only a guideline and not a substitute for the City’s legal requirements. Specific requirements for exceptions to ECA development standards can be found in Section 25.09.300 of the City’s Municipal Code, and other code sections cited in this CAM. |
