HEARING HELD:
Ordinance #C-104-00 [PLG 032-00] Amending Chapter 17.03 ICC to comply
with the Order of the WWGMHB relating to Freeland and Clinton
At 10:45 a.m. as scheduled and advertised, the
Board conducted a public hearing for
the purpose of considering Ordinance
#C-104-00 [PLG 032-00] Amending Chapter 17.03 ICC to comply with the Order of
the WWGMHB relating to Freeland and Clinton introduced by Phil Bakke, Planning
Director, on October 16, 2000, and set for
public hearing this date and
time
[GMA doc. #5984].
Staff: Phil Bakke; Jeff Tate
Public: None
Mr.
Bakke explained that this Ordinance was prepared to amend Chapter 17.03 ICC
to comply with the order of the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings
Board relating to Freeland and Clinton.
On June 2, 1999 the WWGMHB entered Final Decision And Order including
No. 9 requesting that the County reassess the designations, densities and uses
allowed in the Freeland and Clinton RAIDS, to either: do proper analysis, make provision for urban services and
designate as a non municipal growth area; or b) restrict boundaries uses and
other densities. On November 8, 1999,
the Board of Island County Commissioners adopted Ordinance #C-119-99 limiting
development and uses and adopted
certain measures to protect possible future urban growth area
designation. On June 5, 2000, the Board
of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance #C-50-00 and on July 17, 2000 adopted
Ordinance #C-62-00 reducing RAID boundaries and amending Appendix A of the
Island County Zoning Ordinance to modify those uses. On October 12, 2000, the WWGMHB ruled that the County was in
compliance with Final Decision Order #9
accepting the revised RAID boundaries and development regulations for the
Freeland and Clinton RAIDS.
Therefore, Mr. Bakke requested that the interim zoning
regulations adopted on November 8, 1999 in Ordinance #C-119-00, amended in
Ordinance #C-62-00 now be made permanent regulations in the Island County
Zoning Ordinance. He confirmed that in
no way did the ordinance preclude the urban growth area studies undergoing
review in Freehand and Clinton. In the event that one or both of those
committees recommend NMUGA status the committees would be recommending new
development regulations and comprehensive plan language for each of those
areas, and by that action would be replacing these provisions in Appendix A and
Rural Center and Rural Zone designation criteria and land development standards
found in 17.03 of ICC, and would also possibly modify the boundaries. Making this a permanent ordinance will be a
procedural thing to continue to be in compliance with the Growth Board’s
decision and Order.
A letter was received by the Board of County
Commissioners on November 6, 2000, dated November 5, 2000, from Steve Erickson,
WEAN, [GMA doc. # ] pointing out
that in the Growth Board’s October 12, 2000 Decision the County was directed to
limit development in areas A and B in the new Holmes Harbor RAID to preclude
any further shoreline subdivision.
That change has not been accommodated in Ordinance #C-104-00. However, the Department has prepared a draft ordinance to address that item
which is being forwarded to the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office today for review,
proposed to be presented to the Board
next Monday for purposes of scheduling a future public hearing.
No members of the public were present to comment either
for or against Ordinance #C-104-00.
By unanimous motion, the Board adopted Ordinance #C-104-00 [PLG-032-00] Amending Chapter
17.03 ICC to comply with the Order of the WWGMHB relating to Freeland and
Clinton [Ordinance #C-104-00 as adopted entered as GMA doc. # ].
