|---|---|---|---|
review_type | require | Ameren_Shoreline_Management_Plan_approval | Any dock, retaining wall, structure, or in-water construction within the FERC Project 459 boundary (Bagnell Dam / Lake of the Ozarks) requires Ameren Missouri Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) approval. SMP zones (Residential / Conservation / Commercial / Industrial) determine permitted structures and density per linear foot of shoreline. |
base_districts[*].shoreline_construction_findings | require | ferc_project_boundary_compliance | Local zoning ordinances at Lake Ozark, Osage Beach, Camdenton, and the four shoreline counties (Camden 29029, Miller 29131, Morgan 29141, Benton 29015) operate above the FERC boundary, but in-boundary and water-side construction is governed by the SMP, not the city ordinance. |

Research notes
Lake of the Ozarks (~54,000 acres surface; ~1,150 miles of shoreline) is a privately owned hydroelectric reservoir, not a federal USACE or state reservoir. The shoreline overlay is the FERC project boundary plus the Ameren SMP, which floors over local zoning for in-boundary uses. Counties (29029, 29131, 29141, 29015) regulate above-elevation development under Chapter 64; cities (Lake Ozark, Osage Beach, Sunrise Beach, Camdenton, Linn Creek, Village of Four Seasons) regulate within municipal limits under Chapter 89 — but neither can permit a dock or retaining wall without Ameren SMP approval. This is one of the densest STR markets in Missouri and the primary political driver of the 2024–2026 STR-preemption bills tracked in preemptions.md.
