HEARING HELD:  ORDINANCE #C-28-03 (PLG-006-03) Concerning technical amendments to Island County Comprehensive Plan Future Land

Use Plan Map and  Island County Zoning Atlas

 

A Public Hearing was held as scheduled and advertised on  Ordinance #C-28-03 (PLG-006-03) introduced on March 17, 2003 [GMA #7391] concerning  technical amendments to the Island County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Plan Map and the Island County Zoning Atlas, Map #399 and 314, properties located on South Whidbey. 

 

Phil Bakke, Planning and Community Development Director, and Jeff Tate, Assistant Director,  Planning and Community Development, presented the proposed Ordinance.   Map 399 and Map 314 were submitted as technical corrections to the Zoning Atlas.  The proposal was outlined in Mr. Tate’s memorandum dated March 14, 2003, summarized by Mr. Tate:

 

Map 399.  Rezone of parcel R23020-402-3500 from Rural to Rural  Forest.  The parcel is a small strip  approximately .7 acres adjacent to another  Rural Forest  23 acre parcel owned by the same property owner.  Owner requests the  same zoning designation for both properties.  This action would correct an error on the part of the County when the zoning maps were done.

The rezone would be a  down zone of the .7 acre parcel.

 

Map 314.  Parcel  R22911-103-3620 zoned Rural would expand to more accurately reflect the boundary of a large wetland.  Parcels  R22911-108-3210 and R22911-108-3080 zoned Rural Center would be reduced so that the wetland and buffer would not be located on commercially zoned properties.   This would allow the outer Rural Center RAID boundary to achieve greater compliance with the adopted zoning designation criteria.  The  property is owned by a  preservation group that desires to make ownership follow more closely the area they are interested in protecting.

 

At the time the Chairman called for public comments on this matter, no one was present in the audience who indicated a desire to speak for or against the proposed ordinance.

 

The Board by unanimous motion approved  Ordinance #C-28-03 (PLG-006-03)      concerning technical amendments to the Island County Comprehensive   Plan Future Land Use Plan Map and the Island County Zoning Atlas Map #399 and #314, South Whidbey.  [GMA #7391]
