STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. King County has adopted the 2004 King County Comprehensive Plan to meet the requirements of the Washington state Growth Management Act ("GMA"), chapter 36.70A RCW.
2. The King County Code allows amendments to the Comprehensive Plan once every year if those amendments are not substantive. Every four years a major review of the Comprehensive Plan is allowed at which time substantive amendments to the Comprehensive Plan can be considered. The last major review of the Comprehensive Plan was conducted in 2004. Therefore, 2006 is part of the annual cycle for which only amendments to the Comprehensive Plan that are not substantive are permitted.
3. The GMA requires that the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations be subject to continuing review and evaluation by the county.
4. The GMA requires that development regulations be consistent with and implement the Comprehensive Plan.
5. The amendments to the Comprehensive Plan contained in this ordinance bear a substantial relationship to, and are necessary for, the public health, safety and general welfare of King County and its residents.
