Has the capacity of the county to provide adequate services diminished or increased? Is sufficient urban land designated and zoned to meet projected demand and need? Are any of the assumptions upon which the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan is based no longer valid, or is new information available which was not considered during the adoption process or any annual amendments of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan? Does the proposed amendment reflect the current widely held values of the residents of Jefferson County? Do changes in county-wide attitudes necessitate amendments to the goals of the plan and the basic values embodied within the Comprehensive Plan Vision Statement? Do changes in circumstances dictated a need for amendment? Do inconsistencies exist between the Comprehensive Plan and the GMA or the Comprehensive Plan and the County-wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County? Does the proposal meet concurrency requirements for transportation? Does the proposal adversely affect adopted level of service standards for public facilities and services other than transportation (e.g., sheriff, fire and emergency medical services, parks, fire flow, and general governmental services)? Is the proposal consistent with the goals, policies and implementation strategies of the various elements of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan? Will the proposal result in probable significant adverse impacts to the county’s transportation network, capital facilities, utilities, parks, and environmental features that cannot be mitigated? Will the proposal place uncompensated burdens upon existing or planned service capabilities? How is the subject parcel(s) physically suitable for the requested land use designation and the anticipated land use development including, but not limited to the following: Access; Provision of utilities; and Compatibility with existing and planned surrounding land uses? Will the proposal, if adopted, create a pressure to change the land use designation of other properties? If the answer is yes, how would such change of land use designation on other properties be in the long-term best interests of the county as a whole? Does the proposed site-specific amendment materially affect the land use and population growth projections that are the bases of the Comprehensive Plan? If the proposed redesignation/rezone is located within an unincorporated urban growth area (UGA), would the proposal materially affect the adequacy or availability of urban facilities and services to the immediate areas and the overall UGA? Is the proposed amendment consistent with the Growth Management Act (Chapter 36.70A RCW), the Countywide Planning Policy for Jefferson County, and other applicable inter-jurisdictional policies or agreements, and any other local, state or federal laws?
