City of Pasco: Upcoming Listening Sessions for Shoreline Master Program

​The City of Pasco invites residents and stakeholders to participate in two upcoming listening sessions to provide input on the development of a user guide for the City's Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The SMP is a planning and regulatory document required by the Washington State Shoreline Management Act (SMA) and updated every 10 years. The SMA is intended to help balance environmental protection with public access and water use. 

The user guide aims to assist the public in understanding critical components of the SMP, which governs the management, access, and protection of Pasco's shorelines. 
​
Listening Session Details: 

• Dates:  
  • Wednesday, April 16, 2025  
  • Tuesday, May 20, 2025 
• Time: 6:30 PM 
• Location: Council Chambers, Pasco City Hall, 525 N. 3rd Ave, Pasco 
  
  

During these sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the SMP, review the draft user guide, ask questions, and provide feedback. Community input is essential to ensure the user guide effectively meets the needs of Pasco's diverse population. 

The draft SMP User Guide is available for review on the City's website at https://www.pasco-wa.gov/858/Shoreline-Master-Program. Residents are encouraged to review the document prior to the listening sessions.
