STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. King County has adopted the 1994 King County Comprehensive Plan to meet the requirements of the Washington state Growth Management Act (GMA).
2. The GMA requires that the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations be subject to continuing review and evaluation by the county.
3. King County has approved annual amendments to correct technical errors and to make changes that do not require a substantive policy change or alter the urban growth line.
4. King County has performed its first comprehensive four-year cycle review of the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations. As a result of the review, King County amended the 1994 Comprehensive Plan through passage of the King County Comprehensive Plan 2000.
5. The GMA requires that King County adopt development regulations, to be consistent with and implement the Comprehensive Plan.
6. The changes to the King County zoning code, K.C.C. Title 21A, contained in this ordinance are needed to bring K.C.C. Title 21A into conformance with the King County Comprehensive Plan 2000, as required by the GMA. As such, they bear a substantial relationship to, and are necessary for, the public health, safety and general welfare of King County and its residents.
