The Island County Planning Commission will hold a public meeting on Monday, Sept. 28 to discuss the county’s shoreline master plan, also termed a shoreline master program.

The meeting is 2-4 p.m. downstairs in the Courthouse Annex Building, Room B102, at 1 N.E. 6th St., Coupeville. The plan is a set of rules for managing the shoreline.

The state’s Shoreline Management Act, adopted in 1971, requires cities and counties to create such plans.

Under a 2003 change to the Act, the plans must be reviewed every eight years.

Island County’s plan hasn’t been reviewed since it was created in 1976, said Brad Johnson, a senior planner for the county, in an earlier interview.
