The County adopted its Comprehensive Plan in August 1998 and its development regulations or UDC in December 2000. 2. The Growth Management Act, which mandates that Jefferson County generate and adopt a Comprehensive Plan, also requires that there be in place 3. a process to amend the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment process for the Comprehensive Plan must be available to the citizens of this County [including corporations and other business entities] on a regular basis. In accordance with RCW 36.70A.130, CP amendments can 4. be considered "no more frequently than once per year." This particular amendment "cycle" began on or before May 1, 2002, the 5. 6. deadline for submission of a proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment. These amendments were all timely submitted. With respect to MLA #02-76 [Eastview Industrial Plat], the Board adopts as its own findings and conclusions those portions of the Draft SEIS and the Final SEIS which discuss this CP amendment, its potential cumulative 7. impacts and its environmental impacts, if any. With respect to MLA #02-232 [Forest Transition Overlay District], the Board adopts as its own findings the substantive changes to the CP and UDC proposed within the Draft SEIS and Final SEIS. The Draft SEIS and Final SEIS discuss and analyze this CP amendment, its potential cumulative 8. impacts and its environmental impacts, if any. With respect to MLA #02-234 [Parks and Recreation Open Space Plan], the Board adopts as its own findings and conclusions those portions of the Draft SEIS and the Final SEIS which discuss this CP amendment, its potential 9. cumulative impacts and its environmental impacts, if any. With respect to MLA #02-238 [Non-Motorized Transportation Plan], the Board adopts as its own findings and conclusions those portions of the Draft 2 Ordinance No, 19-1213-02 re: Six Comprehensive Plan Amendments 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. SEIS and the Final SEIS which discuss this CP amendment, its potential cumulative impacts and its environmental impacts, if any. With respect to MLA #02-239 [Changes to Chapter Two of the Comprehensive Plan relating to the CP amendment process], the Board adopts as its own findings and conclusions those portions of the Draft SEIS and the Final SEIS which discuss this CP amendment, its potential cumulative impacts and its environmental impacts, if any. With respect to MLA #02-242 [UGA in Port Hadlock and lrondale], the Board adopts as its own findings and conclusions those portions of the Draft SEIS and the Final SEIS which discuss this CP amendment, its potential cumulative impacts and its environmental impacts, if any. With respect to MLA #02-242 [UGA in Port Hadlock and lrondale], the Board finds that it adopts the UGA boundaries reflected on the map entitled "Tri-Area UGA DCD Revised Recommendation of November 6,2002," made Exhibit "E" to the Final SEIS of November 25,2002. However, the Board made changes to what can be called the "November 6" proposed UGA boundary. The Board chose, during deliberations on December 9, 2002, and based, in part, on a recommendation from planning staff, to add approximately 45 acres in and around the structure known as the "Old Alcohol Plant." The Board finds that addition of these approximately 45 acres dovetails with an earlier DCD recommendation dated August 13,2002, specifically a map included within the DSEIS entitled "Tri-Area UGA: Department of Community Development Recommendation August 13,2002." The Board notes that the November 6 recommended map did not include the 45 acres near the "Old Alcohol Plant," while the August 13, 2002 recommendation did. 3 Ordinance No, 19-1213-02 re: Six Comprehensive Plan Amendments 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. The Board notes that the owner(s) of the "Old Alochol Plant," through their attorney, expressed to the County staff in a November 11, 2002 letter [with maps attached] their desire to be included inside the UGA boundary. In deliberations on December 9, 2002 the Board also added six parcels lying to the east of what had been proposed by the planning staff in their map dated August 13,2002, a map made part of the Draft SEIS. These parcels abutted the easternmost edge of what planning staff had proposed in August 2002 through the map and the draft SEIS. The Board finds, upon recommendation of the planning staff, that all currently-applicable development regulations, sometimes known as "rural standards," should be and will be maintained in the Port Hadlock and lrondale UGA until such time as appropriate zoning and infrastructure capital facility studies are complete. The Board finds that adoption of a UGA boundary for Port Hadlock and lrondale does not cause any change or alteration in the UDC or the UDC provisions that are now applicable to any parcel that falls within the Port Hadlockllrondale UGA. These amendments constitute six of the 19 proposed amendments that worked their way through the entire process laid out in state statutes for such amendments. Those proposed amendments went through professional review at the County and State level. These six amendments were the subject of public hearings before the County's Planning Commission in the fall of 2002. MLA #02-232 [Forest Transition], MLA #02-239 [Changes to Ch. 2 of the CP] and MLA #02-242 [UGA in Hadlock and lrondale] were also the subject of public hearings before the BoCC. 4 Ordinance No, 19-1213-02 re: Six Comprehensive Plan Amendments 25. Only the CP amendments known as MLA #02-232 [Forest Transition] and MLA #02-242 [UGA in Hadlock and lrondale] drew or caused any substantial amount of public comment. 26. All of these amendments have been subject to a SEP A-driven analysis through the August 2002 Draft SEIS and the November 2002 Final SEIS. 27. These amendments further the goals and policies set forth in the GMA, the County-Wide Planning Policies and the County's CPo All procedural and substantive requirements of the GMA have been satisfied. 28. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED as follows: Section One: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map is amended to reflect that the Eastview Industrial Plat, also known as Parcel Numbers 947800001, 947800002, 947800003, 947800004, 947800006, 947800007 (reserve area) is and shall be given an underlying zoning designation of Light Industrial.
