I guess we will have to waith till next year . ;0}

If the Shoreline Master Plan specifically refers to the CAO for buffer regulations, then presumably the CAO serves as a “use regulation” to the SMP. Therefore, the shoreline buffers found in the CAO are effectively a part of the SMP and the Court’s decision has no effect on the County’s shoreline buffer regulations.

Or, in baseball language, the Designated Hitter rule applies only in American League ballparks. But no worries, Mariners’ pitchers have better batting averages than the fielders anyway.

So the court is basically saying local communitie legislating districts can not set up their own buffer zones when it comes to shoreline boundries ?

What happens if their is circumstances that all of us would agree was a bad idea not to do so in certain areas .
Looks to me extreme envirnomental positions by certain counties by making one buffer fit all areas have caused such a back lash that it may hurt the envirnoment more so because of throwing out the baby with the bath water .

Explain in baseball language someone please .
