2019 Docket Enabling Ordinance December 3, 2019 <br />Page 11 <br /> <br />and public services (GPO 2.42, 2.43A, 8.8, 8.16, 8.17, 8.18, 8.21, 8.44C, 8.54, 8.57, 8.61, 10.4, and <br />10.5). These GPOs have been replaced as either a policy or goal in the most recent Comprehensive <br />Plan Periodic Update by Ordinance No. 2019-010 dated June 2019. The new citations are as follows <br />respectively: LU-P56, LU-P57, RR-P4, RR-P15, RR-P16, RR-P17, RR-P19, RR-P45, RR-P54, RR- <br />P56, RR-P61, E-G4, and E-P5. <br /> <br />County staff recommended approval of the code amendments as proposed by the applicant except for <br />the definition of mini-warehouse. Staff finds it unnecessary to include RV Storage in the definition of <br />“mini-warehouses” because “rv storage” is its own use in the use table and is proposed to be permitted <br />with a conditional use permit therefore expanding the definition of “mini-warehouses” is redundant. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission recommended modifying staff’s recommendation to to re-write the siting <br />criteria to only allow contiguous or adjacent to state highways and within ¼ mile of highway <br />interchanges and freeway interchanges. <br /> <br />The Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing on November 12, 2019 and approved the <br />request as presented by staff with one additional change, striking the building height requirement <br />proposed by the applicant, 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. Public testimony in favor of this proposal was received. <br />III. The Forest and Range zone provides adequate building height standards. <br />IV. The change meets the Growth Management Act and the objectives of the Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br /> <br />19-12 Citizen-Initiated Proposal: <br />Map amendment for a Non-Project Rezone and Land Use change within unincorporated Kittitas <br />County, Exhibit L. <br /> <br />This amendment was proposed by a private citizen and has been assigned file numbers CP-19-00003 <br />and RZ-19-00002. Pat Deneen, authorized agent for DK Professionals is proposing to change the land <br />use and zoning designations of two parcels (17916*** and 17918) from a land designation of Rural <br />Working to Rural Residential and zoning from Forest & Range to Rural 5. Parcel 17916 is adjacent to <br />the south of parcels zoned Rural 5 in the Rural Residential land use designation. Parcel 17918 is <br />adjacent to 17916. The parcels are partially located under the BPA transmission lines and in an area <br />used primarily for residential and recreational purposes. A comprehensive plan amendment (CP -19- <br />00003), rezone application (RZ-19-00002), and SEPA checklist were submitted as part of the <br />application packet. A SEPA DNS was issued on October 3, 2019 and the comment period regarding <br />this determination ended on October 18, 2019 at 5:00 pm. No SEPA appeals were filed . The <br />processing of this non-project specific rezone and land use designation change is consistent with <br />Kittitas County Code 15B.03 Amendments to Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed rezone and land use change subject to <br />the applicant providing TDRs to the county. Upon further review of rezone criteria in KCC 17.98 and <br />TDR requirements in KCC 17.13, staff agrees with the planning commission recommendation that this <br />proposal can be approved subject to (conditioned) the applicant provides TDRs prior to final plat of <br />future subdivision. <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:
