MLA #
For Comprehensive Plan amendments, applications must be completed and submitted to the Department of Community Development by March 1 of the current calendar year in order to be considered
during this year’s amendment process. Completed applications that are received after March 1 will be placed on the preliminary docket for the following calendar year. Generally, applications
for text amendments are proposals that broadly apply to the goals, policies and implementation strategies of the Comprehensive Plan. Applications for suggested UDC amendments may be
considered on a rolling basis. Applications that are incomplete (i.e., that do not include all of the information required under the Jefferson County Code) will be returned to the applicant.
Submittal Requirements
A completed Permit Application and all required Exhibits.
A completed and signed State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Checklist.
Any additional information deemed necessary by the Administrator to evaluate the proposed amendment.
Please prepare and label as “Exhibit A,” a description of the proposed text Comprehensive Plan/UDC amendment. Applications for such amendments that do not specify proposed uses and potential
impacts are assumed to have maximum impact to the environment and public facilities and services.
Please prepare and label as “Exhibit B,” proposed amendatory language (i.e., to affected text of both the Comprehensive Plan and UDC) shown in “bill” format, with text to be added indicated
with underlining (e.g., underlining), and text to be deleted indicated with strikeouts (e.g., strikeouts).
Please prepare and label as “Exhibit C,” a thorough explanation of how the proposed amendment, meets, conflicts with, or relates to the following inquiries (NOTE: Simple “yes” or “no”
responses are unacceptable.)
Is growth and development as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan occurring faster or slower than anticipated, or is failing to materialize?
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Are any of the assumptions upon which the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan is based no longer valid, or is new information available which was not considered during the adoption process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?

The proposed text amendment meets concurrency requirements for transportation and does not adversely affect adopted level of service standards for other public facilities and services
(e.g., sheriff, fire and emergency medical services, parks, fire flow, and general governmental services);
The proposed text amendment is consistent with the goals, policies and implementation strategies of the various elements of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan;
The proposed text amendment will not result in probable significant adverse impacts to the county’s transportation network, capital facilities, utilities, parks, and environmental features
that cannot be mitigated, and will not place uncompensated burdens upon existing or planned service capabilities;
In the case of a text amendment to the Land Use Map, that the subject parcels are physically suitable for the requested land use designation and the anticipated land use development,
including, but not limited to, the following:
(A) Access;
(B) Provision of utilities; and
(C) Compatibility with existing and planned surrounding land uses;
The proposed text amendment will not create a pressure to change the land use designation of other properties, unless the change of land use designation for other properties is in the
long-term best interests of the county as a whole;
The proposed text amendment does not materially affect the land use and population growth projections that are the bases of the Comprehensive Plan;
If within an unincorporated urban growth area (UGA), the proposed text amendment does not materially affect the adequacy or availability of urban facilities and services to the immediate
area and the overall UGA;
The proposed amendment is consistent with the Growth Management Act (Chapter 36.70A RCW), the County-Wide Planning Policy for Jefferson County, any other applicable inter-jurisdictional
policies or agreements, and any other local, state or federal laws.
Please provide an explanation of why the amendment is being proposed. (Attach additional sheets, if necessary.)
