2019 Docket Enabling Ordinance December 3, 2019 <br />Page 10 <br /> <br /> <br />The Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing on November 12, 2019 and approved the <br />request as presented by a 3-0 vote, finding that: <br />I. The Planning Commission recommended approval to the Board of County Commissioners <br />with a vote of 4-0. <br />II. No public testimony for this proposal was received. <br />III. The change meets the Growth Management Act and the objectives of the Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br /> <br />19-10 Citizen-Initiated Proposal: <br />Map amendment for a Non-Project Rezone within the Easton Type 1 LAMIRD, Exhibit J. <br /> <br />This amendment was proposed by a private citizen and has been assigned file numbers CP-19-00001 <br />and RZ-19-00001. Jeff Slothower, agent for Ronald and Bonnie Scott are proposing a rezone and map <br />amendment to two parcels (061634 and 029034) from a Residential (061634) and split zoned parcel <br />(029034), rezoned to a General Commercial zoning designation. The parcels are part of a small <br />grouping of residentially zoned parcels in the Easton LAMIRD that border I-90 and are surrounded by <br />General Commercial on the remaining sides. The rezone will allow for a zoning designation more <br />consistent with the existing use conducted on the property. An excavation business has operated on the <br />properties since 1975. A comprehensive plan amendment (CP-19-00001), rezone application (RZ-19- <br />00001), and SEPA checklist were submitted as part of the application packet. A SEPA DNS was <br />issued on October 3, 2019 and the comment period regarding this determination ended on October 18, <br />2019 at 5:00 pm. No SEPA appeals were filed. The processing of this non-project specific rezone is <br />consistent with Kittitas County Code 15B.03 Amendments to Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />The Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing on November 12, 2019 and approved the <br />request as presented by a 3-0 vote, finding that: <br />I. The Planning Commission recommended approval to the Board of County Commissioners <br />with a vote of 4-0. <br />II. No public testimony for this proposal was received. <br />III. The zone change and associated uses is more consistent with the surrounding property and is <br />consistent with the current use of the property that has existed for approximately 50 years. <br />IV. This non-project rezone is consistent with KCC 17.98 and KCC 15B.03. <br />V. The change meets the Growth Management Act and the objectives of the Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br /> <br />19-11 Citizen-Initiated Proposal: <br />Amendments to Title 17 regarding Mini warehouse, Recreational vehicle/equipment service and <br />repair, and recreational vehicle storage, Exhibit K. <br /> <br />This amendment was proposed by a private citizen and has been assigned file number CP-19-00002. <br />The request is a text amendment from Thomas Durant, authorized agent for Jeff Bainter to allow mini - <br />warehouses, RV storage, and RV maintenance and repair as separate land uses in the Forest and Range <br />zoning district through a conditional use permit. These proposed amendments, modify existing <br />definitions, propose a new definition for “Recreational vehicle/equipment service and repair”, add the <br />uses as a CU (conditional use) in KCC 17.5.060.1 Rural Non-LAMIRD Use Table, and also modify <br />and/or add associated footnotes. The proponent argues that this is consistent with the Kittitas County <br />Comprehensive Plan by allowing for diverse business industries, commercial endeavors, and tourism <br />based business to operate in the county with an emphasis on uses that have a low demand for water
