What if our analysis indicates that the relevant processes and functions have causes or impacts outside of shoreline jurisdiction or in a neighboring jurisdiction?
Processes, functions and influences often extend beyond local government jurisdictional boundaries. This is specifically recognized in the planning domain of the SMA 8 and in the Guidelines9. In such cases, counties, and especially cities should consider influences from beyond their boundaries through a watershed or sub-basin analysis. Whenever possible, all jurisdictions should coordinate to integrate such analysis and to avoid duplication of time and cost.
