BUSINESS FROM COUNTY DEPARTMENTS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Request to Approve Three (3) Resolutions: 1) To Approve Certain Comprehensive Plan Amendments; 2) To Reject Certain Comprehensive Plan Amendments; and 3) To Direct Staff Regarding Review, Analysis and Any Future Potential Amendments to the 1998 Comprehensive Plan: Al Scalf, Director of Community Development, reviewed the public process that was conducted on the Comprehensive Plan Amendments. Commissioner Harpole suggested that one resolution be reviewed at a time. The resolution for approving certain amendments was then reviewed and changes were suggested: Commissioner Harpole noted that the motion by the Board was unanimous on CPA #018 submitted by the Department of Public Works on behalf of the Jefferson County Telecommunications Technical Advisory Committee. He asked that the final paragraph on page 21 of this resolution be revised to reflect this. Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 3, 2000 Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 27-00 with the modification to page 21 as discussed. Commissioner Harpole seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Commissioner Harpole asked that copies of the resolutions that are approved today be forwarded to each of the Planning Commission members today. The resolution for rejecting certain amendments was then reviewed and changes suggested: Commissioner Harpole noted that the motion by the Board was unanimous on CPA #009 submitted by Chuck Finnila. He asked that the final paragraph on page 5 of the resolution be revised to reflect this. Commissioner Harpole moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 28-00 with the modification to page 5 as discussed. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The resolution outlining direction to staff regarding review, analysis and any future potential amendments to the 1998 Comprehensive Plan was discussed. Commissioner Harpole noted that he feels the Board still needs to review whether there should be a Comprehensive Plan Amendment process in 2000. It may not be wise to take any Comprehensive Plan Amendments in the year 2000 because the development regulations are not completed and will require a huge effort by staffto do the work that still needs to be done. With the amount of work the Department of Community Development staff has in front of them right now, it seems inadvisable to take on additional outside Comprehensive Plan Amendments this year. Chairman Wojt asked about site specific amendments and if Commissioner Harpole is suggesting that they not be considered? Commissioner Harpole answered that is correct. However, the map correction process is still available and would apply for that type of error. Commissioner Harpole suggested that items 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 of the resolution be removed which will allow more time for the existing workload and would better focus the County's resources. Commissioner Huntingford stated that he understands and agrees with that direction, but he is not sure if the Board should take action on it right now. He fears that in the near future a County sponsored amendment may come up and they will regret having made that choice. Specifically, the Brinnon Sub- Area Plan and how this could trigger changes in the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Manager Warren Hart reported that this is a two pronged approach. The portion of the Comprehensive Plan regarding intensive rural development needs to be reviewed and possibly revised. The direction is to look at the Comprehensive Plan and the RCWs and see if something can be done on a generic policy level to improve or redefine the criteria that is in the current Plan. If any application proposal came through that would alter the land use, the proponent would have to do the detailed analysis to determine if the area could support the proposed development. The analysis needs to be done at the genetic level. Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 3, 2000 Commissioner Huntingford stated that at the time the Comprehensive Plan was adopted, the Board said their intention was to go back and compare the commercial boundaries delineated with the commercial property that existed before July 1, 1990. Commissioner Harpole added that the Board sent a letter to CTED stating that the adopted commercial boundaries would be reviewed when the Tri Area/Glen Cove Study was completed. He said that he thinks that the final development regulations will also clarify many of the issues regarding options for development. Commissioner Harpole noted that items I through 14 of this resolution deal with the analysis of SHB6094. Items 15 through 19 deal with future Comprehensive Plan Amendments. He stated that there is a backlog of work fi.om other resolutions regarding tasks that have not been completed yet. Commissioner Harpole reiterated that the items dealing with future amendments in the resolution before the Board should be deleted. Commissioner Huntingford stated that the analysis of SHB6094 is crucial and there is a good chance that the results could influence the development regulations. This should be done as soon as possible. He questioned whether the Brinnon Sub-Area Planning Group should put their work on hold for a few months until the County finishes this analysis. Commissioner Harpole moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 29-00 with items 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 deleted and the addition of a new item 15 that includes a review and report of all work fi.om previously adopted resolutions regarding the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Huntingford mentioned that there are items on previous resolutions that may not be able to be resolved. Commissioner Harpole clarified that this work would be reviewed and brought forward for the Board to review and determine how it will be handled in a timely manner. His assumption in making this motion is that after the analysis is done, minor changes may be brought forward to LNP 5.1 and those items can be approved after the process is completed. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion. The Chair called for a vote on the motion. The motion carded by a unanimous vote. Commissioner Harpole then moved to direct staffto develop a resolution stating that Jefferson County will not accept Comprehensive Plan Amendments in the calendar year 2000 with the exception of those generated by the County. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion. Commissioner Harpole clarified he thinks the greatest good for the greatest number of citizens is to get the development regulations done, get the sub-area planning processes done, and clarify some of the LNGs and LNPs that are currently causing confusion. The Chair called for a vote on the motion. The motion carded by a unanimous vote. Page 5 Commissioners Meeting Mihutes: Week of April 3, 2000 HEARING NOTICE re: Amending the Emergency Interim Control Ordinance (EICO) #06-0828-98; With Respect to Siting of Public Purpose Facilities and Changing the Name to Interim Control Ordinance: (See also Item 3 on the Consent Agenda) Commissioner Harpole advised that this is an amendment to the EICO and the Board is under the impression that there are other items that the staff feels need to be changed. Charles Saddler reported that this is the only change that the staff had ready for consideration. A1 Scalf added that the use tables need criteria established. Regarding a facility for CAC, Chairman Wojt asked why a change of use for an existing building needs to be addressed in an ordinance amendment? After discussion of the need for this amendment, Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve the hearing notice as presented. Commissioner Harpole seconded the motion carried by a unanimous vote. Local Government Certification for 2001 Emergency Shelter Grant; Clallam Jefferson Community Action Council and Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Program: Commissioner Harpole moved to approve and have the Chair sign the local government certification for the 2001 Emergency Shelter Grant being submitted to the State Department of Community Trade and Economic Development by the CAC. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carded by a unanimous vote. MEETING ADJOURNED Seal: ATTEST: X Loma Delaney, CMC Clerk of the Board JEFFERSON COUNTY ISSION S Glen Huntin~~ Page 6
