These GPOs have been replaced as either a policy or goal in the most recent Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update by Ordinance No. 2019-010 dated June 2019. The new citations are as follows respectively: LU-P56, LU-P57, RR-P4, RR-P15, RR-P16, RR-Pl 7, RR-Pl9, RR-P45, RR-P54, RR- P56, RR-P61, E-G4, and E-P5.

Staff finds it unnecessary to include RV Storage in the definition of "mini-warehouses" because "rv storage" is its own use in the use table and is proposed to be permitted with a conditional use permit therefore expanding the definition of "mini-warehouses" is redundant. The Planning Commission recommended modifying staff's recommendation to to re-write the siting criteria to only allow contiguous or adjacent to state highways and within ¼ mile of highway interchanges and freeway interchanges. The Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing on November 12, 2019 and approved the request as presented by staff with one additional change, striking the building height requirement proposed by the applicant, by a 3-0 vote, finding that: I. The Planning Commission recommended approval to the Board of County Commissioners with a vote of 4-0. II. Public testimony in favor of this proposal was received. III. The Forest and Range zone provides adequate building height standards. IV. The change meets the Growth Management Act and the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. 19-12 Citizen-Initiated Proposal: Map amendment for a Non-Project Rezone and Land Use change within unincorporated Kittitas County, Exhibit L.
