Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant.This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use"not applicable"or"does not a I "'only when you can explain why it does not agply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal,even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment,all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made,the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.

Public Services JtpjPJ a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services(for example:fire protection, police protection, public transit, health care,schools, other)? If so,generally describe. Page 21 of 26 SEPA Environmental checklist CINAC 197-11-960) July 2016 This non-project action would not directly increase the need for public services. The growth and development planned for in the Comprehensive Plan will require additional public services including water and sewer services, waste management,law enforcement and fire protection, additional school services and facilities, telecommunications,health care,court services,and others. The Comprehensive Plan, Capital Facilities Element forecasts these needs and establishes levels of service to help ensure the quality of public services enjoyed by Kittitas County residents is maintained or improved through the planning period(2017-2037). b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services,if any.ItpjpI The primary purpose for developing the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan is to consider the needs of population growth and related development over the longer term and identify public service needs and gaps that may result. The primary responsibilities of the County for planning and provision of services include:water supply and stormwater,solid waste, transportation (county streets and roads),law enforcement, and court services. While Kittitas County does not plan for services including hospitals,ports,fire,and schools, we do have an important coordination role to ensure that these public facilities and services are available, adequate and concurrent with development within unincorporated parts of Kittitas County. Policies included in the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan, Countywide Planning Policies and Utilities Element outline a framework for coordination with other jurisdictions within the County to provide adequate accommodation of public services concurrently with development. Future development proposals would be subject to SEPA individually as well as development permit review by the County and both processes would include a review of adequate public facilities and services. 16.

Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project,the utility providing the service, and the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate vicinity which might be needed. No utilities will be needed as a direct result of this non-project action. Future development proposals would be subject to SEPA individually as well as development permit review by the County and both processes would include a review of potential proposed utilities. The Comprehensive Plan, Utilities Element contains a detailed discussion of utility demand and future utility needs through the planning period. The Capital Facilities Element also establishes level of service standards for public utilities providing o foundation for analysis of the existing utility delivery system and proposed improvements which are necessary to meet changing demands.

When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal,or the types of activities likely to result from the proposal,would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms. 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water;emissions to air; pro- duction,storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances;or production of noise? • No groundwater will be withdrawn from wells or discharged into groundwater as a result of this non-project action. Future development proposals would be subject to SEPA individually and would include a development permit review of any impacts to groundwater and drinking water. • This non-project action will have no direct effects on air quality. The Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan does include polices and the county code provides regulations to guide growth and development over the 20-year planning period,2017-2037.it is likely that projected population growth could lead to increased air emissions. • Indirectly, the Comprehensive Plan and the growth and development projects for Kittitas County could increase traffic generating additional vehicle emissions, construction of public and private infrastructure and structures could generate localized air emissions,and additional homes burning wood could generate air emissions. • No toxic or hazardous chemicals will be stored, used or produced as part of this non-project action. Future development proposals would be subject to SEPA individually as well as development permit review by the County and both processes would include a review of any toxic or hazardous chemicals. • No noise will be created as part of this non-project action. Future development proposals would be subject to SEPA individually as well as development permit review by the County and both SEPA Environmental checklist(WAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 23 of 26 processes would include a review of additional traffic that may result in added noise. Future planned commercial and industrial development may result in added noise. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: As a non-project action with no expected impacts to discharge to water;emissions to air; production,storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances;or production of noise no mitigation measures are included in the proposal. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants,animals,fish, or marine life? • indirectly,site-specific development planned for in the Comprehensive Plan would allow development that may remove or alter plants and vegetation, disturb soils and add additional impervious surfaces, and impact habitat and animals through land clearing,construction of infrastructure and buildings, and additional impervious surfaces and related storm water runoff. • It is not anticipated that proposed amendments to the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan or County Code through the Annual Amendment process are likely to affect plants, animals,fish,or aquatic life over existing standards within current County regulations. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals,fish, or marine life are: The current Kittitos County Development Regulations include plans and policies to manage and preserve habitat and open space, as well as, critical area regulations. The County recently updated its Shoreline Master Program, in accordance with the Department of Ecology's guidance and periodic review process. The County is in the process of updating its Critical Areas Ordinance to address current conditions and incorporate Best Available Science. All adopted policies, goals and regulations would apply to future development as planned for in the Comprehensive Plan Update. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? Energy conservation features are not applicable as part of this non-project action. Planned growth and development will require energy for heating, lighting, commercial and industrial uses, and other activities. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: • As a non-project action that is unlikely to deplete energy or natural resources no protection measures are included within this proposal. • Future development proposals would be subject to development permit reviews which require them to meet applicable County Building and Energy Codes. SEPA Environmental checklist(WAC 197-11-960) duly 2016 Page 24 of 26 • Washington state regulations for energy conservation apply to all new development. 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated(or eligible or under study)for governmental protection;such as parks, wilderness,wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites,wetlands,floodplains, or prime farmlands? The proposed amendments to the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan and Kittitas County Code through the Annual Amendment Process are not expected to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated for governmental protection. The proposed amendments do not include any new uses or changes that would result in affects to environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated for governmental protection. All proposed projects are held accountable to the code in place which includes measures to protect these areas. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: As a non-project action that is not expected to affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated for governmental protection no protection measures are included in this proposal. 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? Kittitas County's Comprehensive Plan,specifically the Land Use and Rural Elements, and the existing Countywide Planning Policies and objectives identify these lands and outline policies, procedures,and tools to conserve Commercial Forest,Agricultural,Mineral and other Resource Lands and concentrate urban development in Urban Growth Areas and locations of more intense rural development(LAM1RDs). Detailed land use maps,including maps of Resource Lands are available in the Kittitas County planning map library. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: As a non-project action that is not likely to affect land and shoreline uses no measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are included in this proposal. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? • The proposed amendments to the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan are not expected to increase demand on transportation or public services and utilities. The proposal does not include any new uses or changes that would impact transportation or public services and utilities. • Most County roads maintain acceptable levels of service through the planning period supported by expanded transit services and trail networks.State highway expansion projects SEPA Environmental checklist(wAC 197-11-960) July 2016 Page 25 of 26 are planned by Washington State Department of Transportation independently. Demand for public transportation services is also projected to grow. • Additionally, there would be increased demand for water,storm water facilities, telecommunications,solid waste,fire protection and law enforcement,schools, and court services. • Site specific development proposals are reviewed for their water and storm water impacts. Fire districts ensure sufficient operations and equipment to meet state laws and county standards. School districts and utility districts are responsible for preparing capital plans. • While demands for these facilities and services will increase, the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan identifies needed improvements over the planning period(2017- 2037). Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s)are: implementing the Comprehensive Plan, Transportation,Capital Facilities and Utilities Elements would allow the County to accommodate new growth and provide established levels of service for these facilities and services. Site specific development proposals will also require SEPA review individually as well as development permit review. Both processes will require an assessment of transportation and utility impacts. 7. Identify, if possible,whether the proposal may conflict with local,state,or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. The proposed Update does not conflict with local,state,or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. The purpose of the proposed amendments are to bring the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan and implementing regulations into compliance with the Growth Management Act. The proposed amendments protect the environment by establishing appropriate densities and uses in rural areas and implementing regulations that better protect water quality and natural habitats. Future project-specific development proposals will be reviewed pursuant to SEPA and the County Environmental Policy(KCC Title 15)to identify potential environmental impacts and applicable mitigating measures.

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife(WDFW)has read through the proposed docket items and offers up a couple of suggestions for improvements to docket items. Our comments center around both WDFW permit authority and the desire to help Kittitas County with their Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO). Docket Item 24-09:Amend KCC 12 clarifying road standards. WDFW recommends the addition of"Any stream crossings shall be discussed with WDFW for potential for require a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA)permit."This will help us to enforce RCW 77.55 which requires people planning hydraulic projects in or near state waters to get an HPA permit from WDFW. Docket Item 24-10:Amend KCC 16.12.260 to add a preliminary plat revision process. WDFW recommends the addition of"reduction of buffer from critical areas"under D and should result in a substantial change. WDFW believes this is consistent with item#5 under D,but needs to be explicitly spelled out to ensure that any changes that could affect critical areas receive appropriate environmental review.

Recommendations eneral comments and additional questions: • It is my understanding the proposed amendments have been considered by the Planning Commission and are to be scheduled before the Board of County Commissioners.Based on our conversation,the PUDs and Gibson Rezone are also.pending a SEPA threshold,determination. Please let me know if I misunderstood. Please also confirm whether the other-docketed items have undergone a SEPA review. CBala&JA Iy into: That is correct we have held the Kittitas County(KC) Planning Commission hearing for the 10-code amendmentSonly. We currently have another hearing scheduled for the BOCC regarding those 10 code amendments. You are correct in that the PUD and rezones are currently in process, which we expect to issue a threshold determination soon. These still need to be heard by the Planning Commission for recommendation and again by the BOCC for final decision. The Docketed 10 items have completed the sepa review process with a threshold determination of non-significance dated August 15, 2024 with no appeals. • During our phone call,you had described that the development regulations,i.e., Kittitas County Code(KCC),found online at Kittitas County, Board of County Commissioners I.County Code may not be up to date. It is highly recommended that this be confirmed as this appears to be the only code made available to the public. Furthermore,I have based many of my comments on the code found online. .111W000. +I`` Ejeae l wF CBala&JAyling: The County Code online is the current upaateu code. I believe this was a misunderstanding during your discussion.The Kittitas County IT department has been in a process of making changes to the website format and access to items such as the Kittitas County Code (KCC) in general. • As discussed, only the comprehensive elan is limited to an annual update in accordance with KW 36.70A.130 2 is .There is no limit to the number of amendments or frequency development regulations can be amended. utsala &JAylinr: We agree and understand this comment According to the KCC,specifically Chapters 158.03 and 15B.04,a docketing system is used for amendments to both the comprehensive plan and the development regulations. Decisions for amendments are considered annually by the Board of County Commissioners with a deadline of December 31. During our phone conversation,I had initially thought the KCC required all amendments to be processed once a year,but appears the Director has some discretion in how often development regulations may be amended. CBala &JA lin : KC does not require all amendment to be processed once a year. In fact,we had other development code updates earlier this year. While a docketing system is a certainly a meaningful process and encouraged per RCW 36.70A.470 to keep of track of needed changes,it is highly recommended the county process develooment m4gullation amendments more often than once a year. CBala &JAyling: KC understands this. Again,we nau other aeveiopment code updates earlier this year that occurred outside of the annual process. In fact, over that last 5 years the county has processed numerous development regulations amendments along with the annual comp plan process. Please note I believe the county has continued to do this, knowing we don't have to, due to the recent compliance effort(2006-2019)that occurred over numerous years as a part of being more transparent. • Chapters 15B.03 and 15B.04 both state that the Board of County Commissioners must approve or deny amendments by December 31s.While such a decision deadline makes sense for annual updates for the comprehensive plan,such a deadline is unnecessary for development regulation amendments. Furthermore,the Board shouldn't be limited to only two options(approve or deny). For example,the Board should have the option to defer their decision to a later date or remand it back to staff/Planning Commission as they see fit.Consider discussing this with your legal counsel. CBala &JAVling: Again,see other comments regarding the development regulation (code) amendments. As for the BOCC being limited. They are not limited and understand that they can decide to approve, deny,or remand back for the further review etc. KC has a well-versed legal staff and understands our process, in fact all docketed items were reviewed by legal prior to commencing forward. Again, our process amongst other things were vetted out during our long compliance effort,which started in 2006-and continued into the 2017-2037 comprehensive plan periodic update eventually becoming GMA compliant in 2019. • It is highly recommended that you meet with the individual(s) responsible for updating the County zoning map to keep it updated on a consistent basis in accordance with KCC Chapter 17.12. CBala &JA,/ling: We have continuously been discussing this and since I have taken the Director's role GIS is now being considered seriously. Currently our IT department is in the process of creating a GIS position to assist with the goal of stopping the inconsistencies that occur when zones&land use designations change amongst other items such as a quick turnaround to update the mapping. • While I understand you were having trouble getting into PlanView,it is crucial that we resolve the log in issues as soon as possible. Per WAC 36S-196-630,notices of intent to adopt amendments are to be submitted electronically via PlanView.The information you emailed has been uploaded into PlanView.Moving forward,any corrections or changes need to be submitted as Supplemental Submittals via PlanView to be consistent with the WAC: - S ^ -7y- 9 CBala &JA iy in&. As my Planning Manager has explained we tried, hoping that it will get fixed, but as the website states when you have issues uploading items you can email. An email was provided to do this,so we did. Secondly, as the confirmation letter states Commerce is in receipt of the proposed docketed items to the code sections and the 3 citizens requests (rezones). Most importantly the letter stated that our 60-day notice ends November 12, 2024 To do so,go to the submittal page in PlanView and select the jurisdiction and amendment type as you normally would.Under the Submittal type,select the option that starts with Supplemental Submittal.Under Draft Submittal ID,select 2024-S-7459 from the drop down options. ^,Seleci your Jurisdiction seta yaw Judadkoon Name from the Im provided.

CBala &JA lin,: We submitted the complete docket list along with the complete applications for the rezones. As stated earlier the website allows us to submit if there are issues with the submittal process online and allows for submittal via email. We did this and received notice from commerce that our 60-day review ends November 12,2024. Commerce must be given the full 60 days to review a full and complete application.Therefore, you will need to apply for a new submittal in PlanView for docket items 2024-11,12 and 13. Given the size of each of the applications, it may be best to submit them each separately,but you can submit them as one submittal as well. CBala &1A tin,: vve unaerstand the there is a 60-day requirement, and we provided the information to start that process. Please see previous comment. 1 would recommend discussing with your legal counsel as to whether any of the docket list of items need to be re-noticed to the public.See WAC 365-196-600. Docket items 2024-01 through 2024-10(not lncludlnf 2024-07 which has been withdrawn] Docket Item 2024-01—Docket Deadlines The document provided is an excerpt from the Comprehensive Plan proposing to change the docketing deadline from June 30 to March 311.While a change to the Comprehensive Plan is a good start,there are no proposed changes to the development regulations,specifically KCC 15B.03.030 and 15B.04.030 which also have a June 30 deadline.It is recommended the Comprehensive Plan not have specific deadlines(perhaps only reference RCW 36.70A.130)and that the KCC be amended with new deadlines. Please submit changes via Supplemental Submittal. CBala &JAylint: Thank you for your thought on this. I will state as a planner here back in the late 90's, as a consultant representing comp plan amendments for individuals, and participating in the long compliance effort,the county's comprehensive plan was upheld with a deadline date to docket a request in its annual comprehensive plan. Kittitas County chooses to continue to have a date within its comprehensive plan. If this gets approved KC will go back and amend its development code to reflect consistency. The reason for an earlier date is to provide staff more time to process due to every year the annual process puts Kittitas County up against the deadline date of December 31",whether it's the process, getting quorums for hearings due to all the holidays along with the everyday items that need to be processed. Docket Item 2024-02—LAMIRD update As discussed over the phone,this document does not describe which document is being amended,nor does it describe where the footnotes are located. Please refer to WAC 365-196-630(1)(b. As discussed,Senate Bill 6140 or RCW 36.70A.070(5)(d)(i)(C)(1)and(1I)allow 10,000 square feet for essential rural retail services. not all retail. If the retail use is not considered an essential rural retail service, it is either limited to 5,000 square feet or 2,500 square feet dependent on the circumstance described in the RCW. Please submit changes via Supplemental Submittal. CBala &lAyling:The rural LAMIRD use table where the footnotes are applicable were not proposed to be altered or amended only the two footnotes referenced in the table,therefore we only included the proposed changed footnote language to be consistent with Senate Bill 6140. Our allowed use table does not separate essential uses and non-essential uses, it lumps it all into retail sales/ General,that additional legwork is determined by the planner with customers on a case by case basis. There are too many variations of uses to capture them all in a table.The general uses are listed leaving the analysis up to the planner to determine if the table and footnote apply in each situation. our full intention is to apply the code consistent with Rcw.36.70A.070(5)(d)(i)(C)(I)and (il). Docket Item 2024-03—Annexation I was able to discuss the proposed adoption of Ellensburg's Annexation Ordinance with my supervisor.A County zoning map and future land use map describing the proposed change must be provided. Ellensburg's zoning map included in the Ordinance will not suffice as it displays city zoning. Please submit via Supplemental Submittal. CBala &1A, We should discuss this further. This is an annexation taking acres a out of KC jurisdiction by poing into the City Limits. The map is showing the area that is beinit removed. The Annexation document describes the zoning, and that the cit will be or c onsistenc . but it's the res onsibilit of the Cit to ado t there zoningand future land use ma for Docket Item 2024-04—Acceptance of paper plats in addition to W lar The language in Title 16 is a bit awkward.What is considered an"original plan"?Consider revising and submit changes via Supplemental Submittal. CBala JA un The .-,,uest is to allow for surveys to be recorded either in paper or mylar format. The current language in the code is original plan. To clarify the removal of the word Polyester, which is like mylars,was removed for clarity. Again,what was proposed was to add paper as an additional mechanism to record surveys and your reference to original plan is current language that is not proposed to be added or deleted. If this is a major concern, we can note it and include it in our periodic update that we will be starting soon. Docket Item 2024-05—Agritourism No concerns. For future amendments, please be aware of RCW 36.70A.177 and the recent WA Supreme Court Case. CBala &!A 1y hlg: Docket Item 2024-06—Short Term Rentals While Commerce finds no issue with the County's consideration of short term rental,the County only provided a copy of the RCW.Again,per WAC.365-196-630;1.).,b,1,the County must provide the specific text of the proposed amendments to their development regulations, including which the proposed Title, Chapter,Section with new text underlined. CBaia &lAyl : Hisorty: The BOCC, through resolution, created a short-term rental committee to start addressing this topic. This committee has been meeting for the last 5 months with their initial goal of 1. Presenting to KC Staff a definition to adopt. As you have seen in the documents the committee motioned to adopt the complete RCW 64.37 as the definition. Staff mentioned to Planning Commission that this is more than a definition and recommended to only adopt short-term rental as defined within 64.37,specifically 010 (9)since the committee has also been further tasked to develop legislation regarding short term rentals. The Committee opted for the complete RCW. So, to not thwart the committees hard work staff presented the complete RCW on their behalf. To follow that up staff further recommended that the Planning Commission only approve the language from 64.37.010(9)as the specific definition language to be included in the KCC definition section_ The Planning Commission recommended the BOCC to approve the language in 64.37,010(1 thru 11)as the language for the definition and not the complete statute knowing that the committee will be continuing their work to development regulations. This language will be included under our definition section as a new definition KCC 17.08.621 and will be presented to the BOCC at their public hearing, not unlike the previous docketed item. Please submit via Supplemental Submittal in PlanView. Docket Item 2024-08-IBC No concerns. CBala &JAVIin : OK Docket Item 2024-09—Private road standards. No concerns with proposal,but the underlying code is not consistent with the KCC found online. CBala &1A lin Title 12 road standards were upaatea curing the docket process in 2023. This was a huge remove and replace of the entire road standards section. The way our County Code is updated and published on our website requires our IT staff to re-type the entire code and insert the changes coding it in html format so it shows up. Because the update was so expansive they are still working on inputting the updated code.We are going away from this process and will now be contracting with Code Publishing to update and publish our code which will eliminate these delays in the future. The current road standards which are referenced and show the proposed amendments in docket item 24-09 are available online currently but not in the common location of our county code that most people including yourself go to. They are instead published on the Public Works page of the county website under the road standards tab along with the previous version for comparison. Please submit a Supplemental Submittal via PlanView. Docket Item 2024-10—preliminary plan approval process No concerns. CBala &1AVIing: OK Please let me know if you have any questions. With regard to PlanView questions,our admin Linda Weyl is our best contact,but she is out of the office until Monday,September 30. Her phone number is 360-725-3066 and her email is _.I've also cc'd my supervisor Ben Serr.Another option would be to submit to PlanView as a guest via our website.However,the website is currently broken/down as they transition to the new website,so I can't provide you a link at this time.We may have to wait until next week with Linda is available.
