All development permits. As provided in Section 6.20, no permit shall be issued for <br />any new or expanded building or structure of more than thirty-five (35) feet above <br />average grade level on shorelines of the state that will obstruct the view of a <br />substantial number of residences on areas adjoining such shorelines unless <br />overriding considerations of the public interest will be served. <br /> <br />2. Substantial development permits. A substantial development permit shall be granted <br />only when the applicant demonstrates all of the following: <br />a. That the proposal is consistent with the policies and procedures in RCW Chapter <br />90.58 and WAC Chapter 173-27; <br />b. That the proposal is consistent with the policies and procedures of the Master <br />Program; and <br />c. That the proposal has been appropriately conditioned where necessary to assure <br />consistency of the project with the Act and the local Master Program. <br /> <br />3. Conditional use permits. Uses which are classified are set forth in Table 4.9-1 as <br />conditional uses, or unclassified uses not specifically prohibited, may be authorized <br />as a conditional use provided that the applicant demonstrates all of the following: <br />a. That the proposed use is consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58.020 and the <br />Master Program; <br />b. That the proposed use will not interfere with the normal public use of public <br />shorelines; <br />c. That the proposed use of the site and design of the project is compatible with <br />other authorized uses within the area and with uses planned for the area under <br />the comprehensive plan and SMP; <br />d. That the proposed use will cause no significant adverse effects to the shoreline <br />environment in which it is to be located; <br />e. That the public interest suffers no substantial detrimental effect; <br />f. That if conditional use permits were granted for other developments in the area <br />where similar circumstances exist, the cumulative impact of such uses would <br />remain consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58.020 and not produce <br />substantial adverse effects to the shoreline environment. <br />g. That the proposed use has been appropriately conditioned to prevent <br />undesirable effects of the proposed use and to assure consistency of the project <br />with the Act and the local Master Program. <br />h. When converting from one nonconforming use to a different nonconforming use, <br />the applicant must demonstrate that no reasonable alternative conforming use is <br />practical and that the proposed use will be at least as consistent with the policies <br />and provisions of the Act and the Master Program and as compatible with the <br />uses in the area as the pre-existing use. <br /> <br />4. Variance.
