Chapter 8 RURAL AND RESOURCE LANDS KITTITAS COUNTY Page 99 Comprehensive Plan RR-P82: An adequate supply of affordable employee housing within a MPR, or within a reasonable distance of a MPR, should be demonstrated. If this supply cannot be demonstrated, steps should be taken to mitigate the lack of affordable housing supply, so that an unreasonable burden is not placed on the affordable housing markets of surrounding communities. A MPR’s ability to hire local residents should be taken into account in determining whether an “adequate supply” of affordable housing is available. RR-P83: Retail and commercial services should be designed to serve only the users of the MPR and should be limited in scope and location to serve only as ancillary uses within the MPR. RR-P84: Retail and commercial services offered on-site by a MPR should not duplicate the full range of commercial services available in adjacent communities. Retail and commercial services offered on-site by a MPR should be designed to discourage use from outside the MPR by locating such services well within the MPR site rather than on its perimeter. RR-P85: A full-range of commercial services should only be provided within the urban growth areas of the surrounding region. RR-P86: Adequate security, fire suppression and first aid facilities and services should be provided on-site, taking into account the emergency facilities and levels of service available from the County sheriff and local fire and emergency medical districts. RR-P87: MPR community sewer, water and stormwater facilities (including associated treatment facilities) will be provided on-site and should be limited to meeting the needs of the MPR. RR-P88: Public facilities, utilities, and services will be provided to the MPR so long as all costs associated with such extensions, capacity increases, and services are borne by the MPR. Such public facilities, utilities, and service providers may include the County, the cities and towns within the County, water and sewer districts, and owners of water systems. RR-P89: MPR facilities, utilities, and services should be designed to accommodate only the projected needs of the resort users. Because a resort is fully occupied only occasionally, MPR facilities and utilities need not be designed to meet peak user occupancy demands and should rely in part on storage and other appropriate mechanisms and technology to meet peak demands. RR-P90: Construction of a MPR and all necessary on- site and off-site capital facilities and utilities infrastructure will be concurrent, but may be provided in phases to meet the needs of development phases as constructed and utilized. RR-P91: Impacts to public services should be fully reviewed and fair and proportionate mitigation provided by the MPR.
