("EICO"), Ordinance No. 06-0828-98, concurrent with the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan to
ensure that all future development within the County is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
5.
The Emergency Interim Controls Ordinance contains provisions for development throughout the
County but omitted development standards for several zoning districts within the Port Ludlow Master
Planned Resort.

adopt development standards for the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort within sixty (60) days of the
issuance of the EICO.

established for critical areas and that on-site and off-site infrastructure impacts have been fully
considered and mitigated.
15.
The planning staff advised the Planning Commission that, without an adopted new master plan for
Port Ludlow which addressed the environmental impacts of the proposed new development at Port
Ludlow, development standards would have to be adopted that were consistent with the adopted 1993
Port Ludlow Final Environmental Impact Statement.
16.
The Planning Commission, on October 7, 1998, voted (five in favor, none opposed and one
abstention) to have staff develop standards and regulations which were consistent with the 1993 Port

Revisions to an adopted Master Plan that will result in a substantial change to the intent or purpose of
the MPR designation including: increase in the intensity of use, scale, or density of development;
revisions to the MPR boundaries or sub-area boundaries; or changes which are deemed to have a
substantial impact on the environment beyond those which have been reviewed in previous
environmental documents, are considered to be major revisions and will require the submission of a
revised master plan, or sub-area or zone plan that addresses the proposed changes.

supportive information, which provide for a unified development, integrated site design and
protection of natural amenities; and which further the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
D. A listing of proposed additional allowable uses and/or proposed maximum density and
intensity of uses within the MPR and a discussion of how these changes and their distribution
meet the needs of residents and patrons of the MPR. Additional proposed uses for review

revision, including an analysis of the cumulative impacts of both the proposed revision and
the approved Master Plan, and their effects on surrounding properties and/or public facilities.
F. A description of how the proposed Master Plan revision is integrated with the overall MPR
and any features, such as trail systems, natural systems or greenbelts, that have been
established to retain and enhance the character of the overall MPR.
G. A description of the intended phasing of development projects within the revised sub-
area/zone, if any; and how this phasing relates to the overall phasing of development within

intensities, and the cumulative environmental impacts associated with the proposed development.
Plan revisions will be submitted to the Jefferson County Long-Range Planning Department for
review and an administrative determination of the type of Master Plan revision by the DCD
Director. The DCD director shall make a determination of the Master Plan revision within 14
days of submission. Those revisions that are deemed to be major revisions will be reviewed as
submitted by the Jefferson County Planning Commission for consistency with the provisions of
the Comprehensive Plan and other supporting documents and regulations. The Planning
Commission will then submit the Master Plan and a report of findings and recommendations to
the Board of County Commissioners for review and final adoption as a sub-area amendment to
the Comprehensive Plan within sixty (60) days of the major revision determination by the DCD
Director. Revisions of Master Plan or sub-area/zone plans within an approved Master Plan Resort
may occur outside the annual comprehensive plan amendment date. The adopted revision will
also be reviewed by the SEP A Responsible Official to determine the level of environmental
review required for the revised plan.

the master plan in effect and which:
a. Involve no more than a ten percent (10%) increase or decrease in the overall square footage
of the floor area over that identified in the development plan (Master Plan or sub-area/zone
plan).
b. Will not have a significantly greater impact on the environment and/or facilities than that
addressed in the development plan.
c. Do not alter the boundaries ofthe approved plan.
d. Do not propose uses that modify the recreational nature and intent of the Master Planned
Resort,
1. Minor Revision Process:
Applications for plan revisions shall be submitted to, and reviewed by the Jefferson County
Long-Range Planning Department to determine if the revisions are consistent with the existing
MPR plan, the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan and other pertinent documents. Those
proposals that are determined to result in no major change in use, location, intensity or
environmental impact and which satisfy the above-referenced criteria shall be deemed a minor
plan revision and may be administratively approved by the Director of the Department of
Community Development.
