Description:

Abstract: Shunits is a coverage that represents the shoreland management units designated by counties, as in the Oregon Estuary Plan Book.
Purpose:
Goal 17 requires that cities and counties establish a "coastal shoreland boundary" on lands bordering coastal waters, including estuaries. Lands within the boundary are to be planned and managed to recognize their relationship with, and importance to, coastal waters. The coastal shorelands boundary around estuaries must be a minimum of fifty feet upland of the estuary shoreline. The shoreline, or the upper limit of the estuary, is either the line of nonaquatic vegetation or mean higher high water, whichever is higher. The boundary must extend upland to include the following areas and resources: Areas subject to ocean flooding; Areas of geologic instability; Riparian vegetation; Significant shoreland and wetland biological habitats; Areas needed for water-dependent and water-related uses, including dredged material disposal and mitigation sites; and Areas of exceptional aesthetic or scenic quality. The shorelands boundaries shown in the Estuary Plan Book reflect the boundaries in acknowledged comprehensive plans.
In 1984, LCDC amended Goal 17 to allow cities and counties to narrow the shorelands boundary to exclude lands subject to estuary or riverine flooding. The effect of this amendment will be to exclude some floodplain areas, mostly agricultural lands, from the shorelands boundary. Cities and counties will be revising the shorelands boundaries at the time of periodic plan review.

Supplemental Information:
Lands bordering estuaries support a variety of uses which are important for both estuarine protection and development. Shorelands provide special habitat areas for wildlife and buffer the estuary form upland land uses. At the same time, proximity to the estuarine is essential to some types of development and attractive to most others. As a result, shorelands are ecologically important and sensitive areas, yet subject to extreme development pressures. Goal 17 (Coastal Shorelands) sets out planning and management requirements for lands bordering estuaries, as well as lands bordering coastal lakes and ocean shore. Shorelands are also covered by the other Statewide Planning Goals. As a result, a wide variety of planning requirements apply to estuary shorelands.

Other Citation Details:
Original Base maps were prepared by the Division of State Lands in 1972 and 1973 using aerial photographs from the U.S. Geological Survey USGS EROS Data Center, NASA). These base maps were used in 1978 and 1979 by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in its mapping of estuarine habitats as part of DLCD's estuary inventory project. ODFW used aerial photography, published studies, and some onsite investigation to prepare its maps of estuarine habitats. Estuary and shoreland planning designations were compiled from local plans in 1986-87 by DLCD. Neither the DSL base nor ODFW study cover the Columbia River estuary. The base map for this area is a 1" = 1000' map prepared by the Columbia River Estuary Data Development Project (CREDDP) in 1983. Habitat information for the Columbia River was prepared by staff of the Columbia River Estuary Study Task Force (CREST) in 1985. CREST compiled various CREDDP studies, converted data to the ODFW habitat classification, and prepared the habitat map provided here.
Comprehensive plan and habitat maps were digitized by the Oregon Department of Energy in 1986 and 1987 using an ARC/INFO Geographic Information System. Full scale maps (usually at 1" = 1000') were photographically reduced to fit the format of the Plan Book document, and are produced at varying scales.
Digitized maps were reviewed by DOE and DLCD staff to identify inconsistencies and digitizing errors. The most common inconsistency was disagreement between the ODFW Habitat Map and the local plan maps in establishing the location of the estuary shoreline. DLCD staff reviewed aerial photographs. plan documents, and consulted with local planners to resolve inconsistencies.
