The following 3 points are clearly supported by the RCW, which I feel Jefferson needs to clearly adhere to. * A legal lot is a parcel of land that is consistent with the zoning and platting laws that were in place when it was originally created. * If a parcel meets the requirements in place when originally created, and doesn’t change, it will remain a legal lot, even if the requirements change later * If a parcel was part of a subdivision or short plat that was reviewed and approved by the county, and hasn’t changed since approval, it is considered a legal lot. If a parcel hasn’t changed since 1969, it is a legal lot. In your DRAFT there is some mention of Lots Created that didn’t adhere to the planning code in place “ at the time of creation”. If your planning department believes that past County members failed to adhere to planning codes, the DCD needs to present these examples prior to the adoption of this Draft. Obviously, these statements within the draft itself, suggest the existence of these illegally created lots. More importantly, you are mistaking in your attempt to define Legal Lots as separate from a Lot of record. Again, A legal lot is a parcel of land that is consistent with the zoning and platting laws that were in place when it was originally created.
