This amendment to KCC 15A.07 changes the filing location for appeals of administrative land use decisions. This code change necessitates other portions of KCC 16 and KCC 17 to be amended as well for consistency. The BOCC office is no longer the appropriate place to file these types of appeals because the BOCC amended county code during the 2018 Annual Docket re-assigning the authority to the Hearing Examiner. The Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing on November 12, 2019 and approved the request as presented by a 3-0 vote, finding that: I.

The change meets the Growth Management Act and the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. 19-03 Kittitas County Proposal: Housekeeping amendments to KCC Title 17 to clarify that "riding arenas" are a standalone land use already in code, update RCW references that have changed, to clarify that "permit" in 17.61.040.2 is specific to "building permits", and to correct scrivener errors, Exhibit C.
