Ordinance No. 03-0228-05
WHEREAS, the Board of Jefferson County Commissioners ("the Board") has, as
required by the Growth Management Act, as codified at RCW 36.70A.OI0 et seq.,
adopted in August 1998 a Comprehensive Plan (or "CP") through approval of Resolution
No. 72-98, and said CP has been subsequently amended and;
WHEREAS, the Jefferson County CP was subject to the normal CP amendment
cycle during 2004, culminating in the adoption by the Board of certain Ordinances on
December 13,2004 after completion of the proper professional review and public notice
and comment with respect to any and all proposed amendments; and
WHEREAS, Master Land Use Application ("MLA") #04-28, which served to
amend the CP, was adopted by the Board by Ordinance #17-1213-04 on December 13,
2004 following a public hearing on December 6, 2004 and;
WHEREAS, separately but parallel to the 2004 CP amendment cycle, the
Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board (or "WWGMHB"), pursuant
to a remand from Thurston County Superior Court, has ruled that this County must revise
the language of pages 1-19 and 3-10 and LNP 5.8 of its CP in order to comply with the
Growth Management Act regarding rural commercial areas known formally as "limited
areas of more intensive rural development," and;
WHEREAS, the purpose of MLA #04-28, in small part, was to amend the
County's CP to remove the non-compliant CP language found at pages 1-19 and 3-10 as
well as LNP 5.8; and
WHEREAS, MLA #04-28, as brought forth to the Board by the Planning
Commission and the Department of Community Development did contain amendments
that removed the non-compliant language; and
WHEREAS, the Board intended that Ordinance # 17 -1213-04 would contain the
amendments that deleted the non-compliant text then found in the CP at pages 1-19, 3-10
Ordinance No. 03-0228-05 re: Correcting an Error Found in Ordinance #17-1213-04 In Order to Achieve Compliance with a Final Decision and
Order From the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board Relating to the "Lamird" Known as Glen Cove
and LNP 5.8, but the textual attachments to Ordinance #17-1213-04 did not contain the
language curing the non-compliance of the text at CP page 1-19 because of an error by
staff; and
WHEREAS, the Board enacts this Ordinance in order to come into compliance
with a Final Decision and Order from the WWGMHB; and
WHEREAS, the text that amends the CP text found on page 1-19 was publicized
and published in the Planning Commission's version of the CP text amendments during
the 2004 CP cycle and thus was available for early and continuous debate and discussion
during that CP cycle
This Board makes the following FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The recommended text of MLA #04-28 from the Planning Commission and the
Department of Community Development to the Board contained the necessary
change to the text of CP page 1-19 and was available during the public comment
period.
2. A copy of the recommended line-in, line out changes for that particular page is
Attachment A to this Ordinance.
3. On November 15, 2004 staff of the Department of Community Development
brought forth the proposals from that department and the Planning Commission,
both of which contained the text altering CP page 1-19.
4. At that time one member of the Board suggested minor changes to the proposals,
which were and are nearly identical. The Board did not suggest removing or not
including the language that would alter the CP text on page 1-19.
5. The public hearing on MLA04-28 was held Dec 6, 2004.
6. The Board made minor changes to the Planning Commission and Staff
Recommendation on December 13, 2004. The Board then unanimously approved
Ordinance #17-1213-04, which put MLA #04-28 into law.
7. The correct version of the Introduction was available to the public during the
public comment period and distributed to the Board for its public hearing.
8. The omission of the required change was caused by a clerical error by staff. See
Attachment B.
9. The text on page 1-19 of the County's CP that the Hearings Board determined was
and is non-compliant and in need of amendment was found under the heading

INTRODUCTION
Restructuring the local economy is a process that is dependent on both the public and private sectors.
Efforts to strengthen communication and cooperation between these two sectors can provide a strong
foundation upon which a more diversified and flexible economy may emerge. The Comprehensive Plan
is the necessary foundation upon which this communication and cooperation will develop more fully.

Opportunities for meaningful public involvement are key to successful comprehensive planning.

Consistency with the thirteen goals of the Growth Management Act, the decisions of the Growth

In order to reduce the size of the Plan, much of the background information in earlier drafts used to
educate and inform the public has been relocated to separate appendices to the J1ill:a±-Plan.
While much of the technical information has been relocated to the Appendices, the Plan, as a
comprehensive policy document guiding future land use decisions, must contain sufficient detail and
discussion to provide clear and reasonable interpretation of the included policies and strategies. This can
only be provided through a huge volume of information and analysis. For this reason and in an attempt to

INTRODUCTION
Current development patterns were identified through the analysis of aerial photographs, Assessor's
records, environmental mapping, and field inventories. Tables were prepared which illustrated the
relative development density throughout the County, the type of development, and the potential for
additional development. Review of these areas indicated those portions of the County which are fully
"built-out," as well as identifying those areas where new development and/or infill development might
occur. The results of the environmental analysis were used to identify appropriate strategies for
preserving rural character while accommodating anticipated rural population growth.
Planning Objective III - Enhancement of the Rural Economy
To ensure that Jefferson County can accommodate new economic development opportunities, policies are
contained within this plan which: encourage developing the necessary land base and rural infrastructure
and services to accommodate modem economic activities; promote the County's natural environment as a
basis of economic activities that are tourist or recreation-oriented; encourage and provide incentives for
businesses to create "family wage" employment opportunities; and ensure that the County's quality oflife
is preserved as it is enhanced.
Restructuring the local economy is a process that is dependent on both the public and private sectors.
Efforts to strengthen communication and cooperation between these two sectors can provide a strong
foundation upon which a more diversified and flexible economy may emerge. The Comprehensive Plan
is the necessary foundation upon which this communication and cooperation will develop more fully.
Planning Objective IV - Allocation of Land to Meet Anticipated Needs
Jefferson County has identified commercial and industrial land based on the 1997 amendments to the
GMA allowing rural counties to recognize "existing areas and uses." The County has also identified
Irondale and Hadlock as an Urban Growth Area (UGA). Counties may designate UGAs to recognize
areas beyond existing uses to accommodate housing growth and meet future demand for commercial and
industrial land. This Plan includes strategies to ensure a land supply that is adequate to meet future
economic development by inventorying available commercial and industrial lands.
Because the County recognizes existing legal lots of record, the County has included policies to consider
for the intensification of development of some existing areas of more intensive rural residential
development if environmental and health standards can be achieved. These areas constitute a relatively
small proportion of the County's rural residential lands. In all other areas, the County has substantially
downzoned rural residential land.
Associated with ensuring adequate lands for different land uses is the need to ensure that appropriate
services and infrastructure can be provided in a timely and cost effective manner. This Plan contains
policies which support development where services and infrastructure exists.
