KITTITAS COUNTY <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES—BOARD OF COUNTY <br /> COMMISSIONERS <br /> 2024 STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT <br /> STUDY SESSION DATE: August 12, 2024 <br /> TOPIC: Title 16 Code Amendment for Annual Docket <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: Authorize CDS Staff to include Preliminary Plat Code <br /> Amendment to 2024 Annual Docket. <br /> LEAD STAFF: <br /> Jamey Ayling, Planning Manager <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Direct staff to include preliminary plat revisions to the 2024 Annual Comprehensive Plan <br /> Docket. <br /> BRIEFING SUMMARY: <br /> On multiple occasions staff has worked with applicants that have obtained preliminary plat <br /> approval and then would like to make minor changes to the plat such as reducing the number of <br /> lots or reconfiguring based on engineering requirements only to find out there is no process other <br /> than to re-apply for a new application. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> Most recently staff has worked with a landowner on Snoqualmie Pass where road requirements <br /> have driven a change from an 8 lot preliminary plat to a 5 lot plat however, the only way to <br /> accomplish this change currently would be to re-apply for another plat. Staff has discussed this <br /> process with other jurisdictions and propose the attached language to be added to the annual <br /> comprehensive plan docket for consideration by the Planning Commission. <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> This change could benefit the current project which has brought awareness to the lack of current <br /> process for accomplishing minor amendments to preliminary plats. This is one of many that <br /> would benefit and is a concept found in other jurisdictions subdivision codes. Kittitas County <br /> should consider adding this process as a way to address minor changes that are not anticipated <br /> upon initial submittal. <br /> FISCAL IMPACTS: <br /> None <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Exhibit 1: 16.12.260 Revisions of Preliminary Subdivisions <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> Community Development Services"Study Session Staff Report",2024 <br />
