Purpose and Guiding Principles
Update of Ocean Shores, Washington Zoning and Municipal Code
Purpose: The purpose of the Planning Commission update to Ocean Shores, Washington Zoning
and Municipal Code is to recommend ac�ons to the Ocean Shores City Council that iden�fy and
correct discrepancies with the 2020 Ocean Shores Comprehensive Plan, simplify the code, and
reflect the past and present reali�es of development within the City of Ocean Shores.
Guiding Principles:
• Use 2020 Ocean Shores Comprehensive Plan as a guide, but also be willing to update
both the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning and Municipal Code as required.
• Simplify the current Zoning Map and Municipal Code
• Reflect the “on the ground” reali�es of historical and recent development in Ocean
Shores
• Maintain and improve the current character and nature of single-family housing areas.
• Sustain and improve the natural beauty and environment of Ocean Shores
• Seek opportuni�es and areas to create more affordable housing, especially single-family
housing.
• Enhance the Ocean Shores resident and visitor experience through a more aesthe�cally
pleasing “Downtown Area”
• Iden�fy areas for “resort type” and “mixed use” opportuni�es.

Challenges
Update of Ocean Shores, Washington Zoning and Municipal Code
• History of “Pyramid Zoning” has resulted in many areas of uncontrolled poten�ally
incompa�ble mixed uses, e.g.
o Residen�al in business (B-1)/commercial (industrial - B-2)
o “Heavier” commercial industrial in or near downtown corridor
• Desire for transient lodging development is/has overcoming available parcels for future
business/commercial (industrial)
• Lack of available parcels for dedicated, larger scale future commercial development (e.g.
Walmart, grocery chain).
• Con�nued growth of wetland encroachment and encumbering of undeveloped parcels,
poten�al diminishing future mi�ga�on bank possibili�es.
