Body

                     BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:

                     SECTION 1.  Findings:

                     A.  The Growth Management Act, including RCW 36.70A.130, requires that King County take action to review, and if needed, revise its Comprehensive Plan and development regulations implementing the Comprehensive Plan.

                     B.  The existing regulations for wineries and breweries were last substantively amended by Ordinance 14781 in 2003.  Distilleries were added as a permitted use, with the same development conditions as wineries and breweries, with Ordinance 17539 in 2013.  No other substantive regulatory changes for wineries, breweries and distilleries (collectively "the adult beverage industry") have occurred since 2003.  Since that time King County has encountered unprecedented economic and population growth, resulting in major changes to the adult beverage industry and causing concerns about land speculation in some areas of the county, while leaving others in need of economic stimulation.

                     C.  Population growth, combined with the growing popularity of small producers and local sourcing within the adult beverage industry has created a need for: clarification regarding core industry functions versus other types of more intensive on-site special events that may help a developing business thrive and consideration of the planning requirements of the Growth Management Act, including economic growth, rural character and protection for water resources and Agricultural and Industrial zoned areas.  Changes in state regulations have also occurred, driving a need to bring adult beverage industry development regulations up to date with state licensing allowances. In particular, a state winery allowance for off-site tasting created confusion for business owners regarding the interplay between state licensing requirements and county land use regulations.

                     D.  This ordinance follows a multiyear study of the adult beverage industry, which included the 2016 King County Sammamish Valley Wine and Beverage Study.  The study period was necessary to evaluate existing zoning regulations for the adult beverage industry in light of changes in industry practices, state licensing allowances and the growing popularity of adult beverage industry across King County and the state of Washington.

                     E.  The changes made by this ordinance will help King County to prepare for and support the future of the adult beverage industry as it evolves in the region, to better implement and comply with the policies of the King County Comprehensive Plan ("Comprehensive Plan" or "Plan"), Countywide Planning Policies and the Growth Management Act, and to minimize the ambiguities in existing development regulations that were identified in the study period.  The changes are intended to improve clarity, administrative efficiencies and enforceability while avoiding confusion for the industry users that may have been caused by lack of consistency with state regulatory systems.  The ordinance adds additional protection for the Agricultural zone and provides guidance on enhancing economic activity in the Rural Area zones while also honoring and protecting rural character.

                     F.  King County continues to support and foster agriculture, especially within the five designated Agricultural Production Districts.  King County also supports the adult beverage industry and recognizes the synergistic relationship between the agricultural and the adult beverage industries.  The ordinance aims to establish a strong foundation for moving both industries into the future.  There is a historical and continuing crossover between the agricultural industry and the adult beverage industry, including factors such as agricultural uses providing aesthetic value and raw materials that support the adult beverage industry; and the exposure, opportunity and market demand for agricultural products that the adult beverage industry provides for the agricultural industry.  This ordinance recognizes competing and complimentary interests between the two industries, and aims to provide a balance consistent with the Growth Management Act and the Comprehensive Plan.

                     G.  Consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies R-610, R-615, R-663 and R-677b, the adult beverage industry uses allowed by the ordinance support development of new markets for local agricultural products and help ensure that agricultural production districts continue to be economically viable and farmed into the future.  By promoting complimentary relationships with the adult beverage industry, these regulations will help to improve access to locally grown agricultural products throughout King County.

                     H.  Economic development polices in the Comprehensive Plan, including ED-102, ED-103 and ED-106 recognize that the Rural Area and Natural Resource Lands have a role in economic activity in the county.  The ordinance aims to implement these Comprehensive Plan policies and is focused on protecting the economic value of the natural environment through traditional land use controls such as minimum lot size limitations and structural and other impervious surface limitations in Rural Area and Agricultural zones.  The ordinance creates space for new kinds of small, limited-scope businesses, such as tasting rooms, and small wineries, breweries and distilleries that are visually compatible with rural character and provide cultural opportunities to enhance the region's quality of life and economic vitality.

                     I.  Comprehensive Plan policies ED-601 through ED-606, which are part of the rural economic strategies plan, call for a "sustainable and vibrant rural economy that allows rural residents to live and work throughout the Rural Area and Natural Resource Lands."  By creating clear direction regarding scope and intensity limits for adult beverage industry uses, this ordinance protects rural character while encouraging new economic and employment opportunities for rural residents.  The Comprehensive Plan "recognizes the value of home-based business, recreation and tourism, and commercial and industrial clusters for their ability to provide job opportunities in the Rural Area and Natural Resource Lands, and help sustain the rural economic base."  This ordinance takes advantage of the existing, organically developing adult beverage industry to implement this policy in a variety of ways.  The plan directs the county to explore opportunities to support agricultural tourism and to encourage value-added programs related to the production of food specifically including specialty beverages such as beer, distilled beverages, and wine in the county.  The ordinance carefully follows this directive, and was developed over several years as the county considered existing and proposed regulations, balancing the differing needs and emerging trends of the agricultural and adult beverage businesses.  The ordinance adds flexibility, maintains or reduces existing size and scale limits on adult beverage industry uses in the Agricultural zone and the rural area and adds new limits to enhance open and green space values and preserve the natural aesthetic which helps both industries grow.

                     J.  The Comprehensive Plan addresses the Growth Management Act's requirement to plan for industrial uses.  Plan Policy ED-211 encourages the county to "support programs and strategies to preserve and plan for an adequate supply of industrial and commercial land," including through "[p]reventing the encroachment of non-industrial uses on industrially-zoned land and the rezoning of industrial land to other uses."  This ordinance recognizes that although King County has a finite amount of industrial land available, at their highest levels of intensity, some adult beverage businesses can grow to a level of mechanization, volume and intensity suited for the Industrial zone, but avoids funneling smaller, less mechanized, community-serving businesses into the county's limited Industrial zoned areas.  Those smaller scale adult beverage industry uses are appropriately placed in more aesthetically pleasing areas, where rural community consumers and a healthy population of visitors to the county's many regional recreation and tourism opportunities can support economic success.  This ordinance aims to avoid bringing low-impact, low-intensity adult beverage uses into limited Industrial zone spaces that are reserved for more intensive industrial uses.

                     K.  Comprehensive Plan Policy ED-212 states "King County shall encourage and support community based and community led efforts to support and retain existing small businesses."  Although rapid industry growth has resulted in some adult beverage businesses becoming incompatible with rural character, this ordinance honors the sometimes competing Comprehensive Plan policies to support and retain existing small businesses with equally important policy to protect rural character by setting clear scope and size limits to protect the Agricultural zone and Rural Area zone. In the specific case of the previously untested remote tasting room use, which was recently created within state licensing provisions, the ordinance allows some small businesses to continue within limited rural area demonstration projects but also makes space available for remote tasting rooms in Community Business and Regional Business zones for those businesses that wish to expand their scope.

                     L.  The Growth Management Act requires that rural development be contained and controlled to ensure the protection of rural character, assure the visual compatibility of rural development with the surrounding Rural Area and Natural Resource Lands, protect environmentally critical areas and habitat, and protect against conflicts with natural resource uses, such as farming, forestry and mining.  Proximity to existing agricultural uses and rural area recreational destinations provide the raw materials and customer base to allow traditional small-scale adult beverage industry uses to thrive. The adult beverage industry relies on all of these elements to succeed.  For example, the definition of agriculture in the Growth Management Act includes viticulture, an essential component of a winery use.  Viticulture, and agricultural practices related to brewery and distillery uses and their associated processing and sales activities, are all examples of activities the Comprehensive Plan requires the county to protect.

                     M.  The Comprehensive Plan describes rural character and notes that King County "recognizes that each of its rural communities has distinct and unique characteristics."  For instance, "residents of Vashon-Maury Island, accessible only by ferry, sea or air, enjoy an island's leisurely and scenic lifestyle", while "[i]n the Snoqualmie Valley, farming is still the mainstay".  The Sammamish valley, which was a study area during development of this ordinance, has its own distinctively rural character, despite its close proximity to urban incorporated areas and to the city of Woodinville's popular, concentrated winery district.  Some of the regulations adopted as part of this ordinance, such as the various allowances for on-site tasting and retail sales associated with winery, brewery, distillery production facilities, vary across the different rural communities in unincorporated King County.  Individual rural communities take different positions and have different priorities, and this is reflected in some of the regulations; however, generally a countywide lens was used for analyzing potential regulatory impacts on the wider rural area and natural resource lands.

                     N.  Comprehensive Plan Policy R-201 defines the characteristics of rural character and the rural area.  Four of these characteristics are particularly relevant to the changes made in this ordinance:  "b.  Commercial and noncommercial farming, forestry, fisheries, mining, home-occupations and home industries," "d.  Community small-town atmosphere, safety, and locally owned small businesses," "h.  Traditional rural land uses of a size and scale that blend with historic rural development," and "i.  Rural uses that do not include primarily urban-serving facilities."

                     O.  Public testimony on this ordinance was consistent with Comprehensive Plan policy goals and included discussion of adult beverage industry uses as being community gathering places, rural residents' desire to take advantage of economic opportunities created by the adult beverage industry and the need for solid customer bases to allow small businesses to thrive.

                     P.  The county is required to balance protecting rural character and agricultural resources in diverse communities, with creating space for rural industries to thrive within those communities.  Existing and proposed regulations of the adult beverage industry are designed for a size and scale appropriate for the rural communities they are located in, and add protections for the Agriculture zone and agricultural production district as well as measures that enhance enforceability of the regulations.  This ordinance aims to implement Comprehensive Plan Policy R-204, which encourages "the retention of existing and establishment of new rural resource-based uses, with appropriate site management and that protects habitat resources" and Comprehensive Plan Policy R-205 which states that uses "relating to agriculture, forestry, mineral extraction, and fisheries, such as the raising of livestock, growing of crops, creating value-added products, and sale of agricultural products; small-scale cottage industries; and recreational and small-scale tourism uses that rely on a rural location"  are appropriate in the Rural Area zones.

                     Q.  Comprehensive Plan Policy R-324 describes the type of nonresidential use appropriate for the Rural Area.  These include uses that "[p]rovide convenient local products and services for nearby residents," "[r]equire location in a Rural Area," "[s]upport natural resource-based industries" or "[p]rovide recreational and tourism opportunities that are compatible with the surrounding Rural Area," as long as the use is "sited, sized and landscaped to complement rural character" and "prevent impacts to the environment and function with rural services including on-site wastewater disposal."  This ordinance implements the plan by creating clear regulations for the adult beverage industry, requiring uses to be sited, sized and landscaped to complement rural character, and by creating a business license so adult beverage industry uses can be better evaluated.  Adult beverage uses provide convenient local products for rural residents, support agricultural resource-based industries, and provide new regional recreational and tourism opportunities.

                     R.  The King County Code establishes standards for water facilities in K.C.C. Title 13.  In part, those standards prioritize connection to Group A water systems, then to Group B water systems, followed by use of private wells, subject to specified criteria.  As part of this ordinance, winery, brewery, distillery facility III uses in the A and RA zones are required to connect to a Group A water system.  The requirement modifies a previously existing regulation for larger wineries, breweries and distilleries and replaces it with a clear standard that improves enforceability.

                     S.  This ordinance protects the Rural Area and Agricultural zones by limiting on-site tasting of products and retail sales for winery, brewery, distillery manufacturing uses, and by allowing on-site tasting of products and retail sales only as accessory to production.  This ordinance places a thirty percent maximum on spaces devoted to on-site tasting of products and retail sales, in order to prevent potential traffic and noise sometimes associated with those uses, and to prevent the more intensive impacts that they can have on rural character and the agricultural production districts.

                     T.  Other development regulations, including stormwater management, impervious surface, critical areas and landscaping requirements, remain in place and are unchanged by this ordinance.

                     U.  Existing special district overlays and property-specific development conditions are in effect and add additional layers of regulation on development within specific areas of the county.  One special district overlay ("SDO") that has been the subject of public comment is SO-120:  Agricultural Production Buffer SDO.  SO-120 applies to portions of the Sammamish valley with Rural Area zoning, and its purpose is "to provide a buffer between agricultural and upslope residential uses."  SO-120 requires clustering of residential subdivisions and imposes a minimum seventy-five percent open space requirement on all such developments.  That SDO will remain in place and will continue to apply to residential subdivisions.  Additionally, this ordinance limits impervious surface maximums for winery, brewery, distillery facilities in the A and RA zones to twenty five percent, or the percentage identified in the zoning code, whichever is less, to be consistent with rural character.

                     V.  During the study period preceding adoption of this ordinance, many adult beverage industry uses were found to be unaware of local health and building codes.

                     W.  This ordinance establishes a business license for the adult beverage industry to provide greater certainty about where adult beverage uses are located, so that King County agencies can more easily educate business owners and verify that they are in compliance with county land use, health and safety regulations.

                     X.  K.C.C. chapter 21A.55 authorizes demonstration projects, "as a mechanism to test and evaluate alternative development standards and processes before amending King County policies and regulations."  One demonstration project is established by this ordinance.  The demonstration project evaluates the presence of remote tasting rooms in Rural Area zoned land in the Sammamish valley.  The demonstration project is located in an area where businesses are supported by nearby small-scale agriculture and proximity to consumers, and relies on a pastoral setting and a rural sense of community for economic viability and traditional rural-based activities.  The criteria for site selection for the demonstration project is based on existing levels of development on the property, lot size, current zoning, proximity to Agricultural zoned areas and agricultural production districts, proximity to local and rural industry-supportive uses and to areas in need of economic stimulus and availability of arterial access.  Those criteria implement Comprehensive Plan policy direction to protect agricultural lands and rural character, and to provide rural economic opportunities.  State Route 202is a designated arterial designed to carry significant traffic loads and is not expected to reflect measurable impacts over loads already generated by existing Rural Area residents and businesses or related to the demonstration project.  The selected location is an ideal place to test the demonstration project's ability to support businesses that are primarily nonurban in nature, to evaluate the benefits and to test impact mitigation strategies before adopting potential countywide regulations.

                     Y.  Public testimony on this ordinance included discussion of congestion on local roads caused by population growth.  With that concern in mind, the ordinance requires the largest winery, brewery, distillery facilities to be sited where there is direct access to an arterial, and that remote tasting rooms be tested where related vehicle trips will be directed to an existing state highway.  Comprehensive Plan Policy T-310 states "[s]tate highway facilities and arterial roads are designed to accommodate higher traffic volumes, at higher speeds than local roads," and the county should "encourage such traffic to use highways or arterials whenever possible."  This ordinance implements the plan's directive by requiring larger or previously untested uses to utilize arterial roads.  Further, the parcels chosen for the remote tasting room demonstration project A in the Sammamish valley are located directly on an arterial.

                     Z.  The Comprehensive Plan states that "[t]he purposes of Rural Town designations within the Comprehensive Plan are to recognize existing concentrations of higher density and economic activity in Rural Areas and to allow modest growth of residential and economic uses to keep them economically viable into the future."  Comprehensive Plan Policy R-507 states, in part, "Rural Towns serve as activity centers for the Rural Area and Natural Resource Lands and may be served by a range of utilities and services, and may include several or all of the following land uses, if supported by necessary utilities and other services and if scaled and designed to protect rural character:  a.  Retail, commercial, and industrial uses to serve the surrounding Rural Area and Natural Resource Lands population…c. Other retail, commercial, and industrial uses, such as resource industries, tourism, commercial recreation, and light industry."  Remote tasting rooms are similar to other, more intensive uses contained within the stated categories and may be appropriately located in Rural Towns.  Other Community Business and Regional Business zones, outside of Rural Towns, are located within the urban growth area or have access to an arterial.

                     AA.  The county is committed to providing fair, accurate and consistent enforcement of the regulations adopted by this ordinance.  The executive expects to engage on-call consultants to conduct outreach and provide technical assistance to businesses required to comply with the new regulations.  It is anticipated that some businesses may take several months to come into compliance.  For businesses progressing toward compliance with the ordinance, the county does not intend to begin enforcement proceedings for a minimum of twelve months after the effective date of this ordinance.

                     SECTION 2.  Ordinance 1888, Article III, Section 5, as amended, and K.C.C. 6.01.150 are hereby amended to read as follows:

                     F.  The civil penalties in this section are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any penalties, sanctions, restitution or fines provided for in any other provisions of law.
