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 as provided for by a decision of the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board (Case No. 96-3-0022c); and amending Ordinance 263, Art. 2, Section 1, as amended, and K.C.C. 20.12.010.

The GMA requires that the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations be subject to continuing review and evaluation by the county. The GMA requires that King County adopt development regulations to be consistent with and implement the Comprehensive Plan.
On April 19, 2001, the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board (Board) ruled that King County failed to comply with the GMA's public participation requirements in March 1996 when the County adopted an "Industrial" land use designation for the Spenser Industries property in the South Park neighborhood.

Specifically, the Board ruled that the County had failed to publish notice of the proposed land use designation in two newspapers (as required by the King County Code) and failed to mail notice to property owners within 500 feet (as required by the King County Code).
