A General Site Plan shall be approved by the Planning Director if the Planning Director finds that such General Site Plan is consistent with: (i) the MPR Approvals, including the MountainStar Resort Conceptual Master Plan; (ii) this Agreement; and (iii) Applicable Law.” The proposal is consistent with the Conceptual Master Plan ( see Index #34) and as such under the terms of the Development Agreement is only subject to minimal review with respect to land use activities. “A Site Development Plan shall be reviewed and approved by the County in the same manner as General Site Plans pursuant to Sections 5.1 (b) and 5.1 (c) above; provided, however, that: (i) a Site Development Plan which is consistent with the MountainStar Resort Conceptual Master Plan and the Development Agreement or an approved General Site Plan and a Site Development Plan… may be reviewed and approved by the BOCC without Planning Commission review…” Section 5.2 of the Development Agreement lays out the provisions for subdivision approval which reflect the language for General Site Plan and Site Development plans: (a) Applications to subdivide property within MountainStar shall be submitted consistent with this Agreement and the requirements of Title 16 KC, Plats, Subdivisions, Dedications, and Ch. 58.17 RCW. Plat applications may be submitted and processed concurrently with review of a Site Development Plan under Section 5. 1 above 2. Plat applications may be submitted for all or a portion of the proposed MountainStar development covered by a Site Development Plan. (b) Notwithstanding any provision of Title 16 KCC, Subdivisions, seemingly to the contrary, a plat application submitted to implement development of all or a portion of a Site Development Plan seeking preliminary and/or final plat approval shall be approved by the BOCC upon a finding that any such application is consistent with: (i) the MPR Approvals; (ii) an approved Site Development Plan; (iii) the requirements of Chapter 58.17 RCW regarding plats, subdivisions and dedications; and (iv) the terms and conditions of this Agreement…. In summary by front loading the land use review process through the Development Agreement, Environmental Impact Statement, General Site Plans and Site Development Plans, The Master Planned Resort designation permits an expedited review process for the specifics of subdivision and other land use activities and in reality limits the process to the mechanical elements of the proposed development, not philosophical. Suncadia itself has a required review process for development which scrutinizes the proposal to ensure consistency with the internal provisions, wants, needs, and desires of the resort. These internal CC&Rs provide guidance with respect to the nature of lots sizes, setbacks, and design. Preliminary Plats: The requirements of KCC Chapter 16.08.200, “Subdivision" means the division or re-division of land into five or more lots, tracts, parcels, sites or divisions for the purpose of sale, lease or transfer of ownership any one of which is less than 20 acres.
