title
AN ORDINANCE relating to comprehensive planning and zoning, adopting amendments to the 1994 King County Comprehensive Plan in accordance with the Washington State Growth Management Act; and amending Ordinance 263, Art. 2. Section 1, as amended, and K.C.C. 20.12.010.
body
PREAMBLE:
For the purposes of effective land use planning and regulation, the King County council makes the following legislative findings:
King County has adopted the 1994 King County Comprehensive Plan to meet the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA).
While the GMA and K.C.C. chapter 20.18 generally require the county's Comprehensive Plan to be amended only once a year, the initial adoption of a subarea plan, which may amend the urban growth area boundary only to redesignate land within a joint planning area, may occur more frequently.
As directed by Countywide Planning Policy FW-1, Step 8.b. and King County Comprehensive Plan policy U-205, King County and the City of Snoqualmie completed a joint planning process for the designated Joint Planning Area, and the recommendations of this joint planning process are contained within the Snoqualmie Urban Growth Area Subarea Plan.
The GMA requires that King County adopt development regulations to be consistent with and implement the Comprehensive Plan.
The changes to zoning contained in this ordinance are needed to maintain conformity with the King County Comprehensive Plan, 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.
