The proposed amendment to KCC 16.12.040 would allow existing lots that contain two lawfully established residences to be short platted, even though they may not comply with zoning minimum lot size or other dimensional requirements. The Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing on November 22, 2021, and approved the request as presented with two amendments by a 2-1 vote, amending the word “residence” by using “dwelling” instead, and using the date of “July 26, 1996” instead of “April 17, 1984,” finding that: I. The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions to the Board of County Commissioners with a vote of 6-0. The Planning Commission recommended that staff clarify the use of “residence” versus “dwelling.” The current Kittitas County Code does not have a definition for “residence,” but utilizes “dwelling,” “dwelling, multiple-family,” “dwelling, single-family,” and “dwelling, two-family” instead. The Planning Commission also asked staff to investigate the use of April 17, 1984, and asked staff to consider other dates that may work equally well. II. No public testimony for this proposal was received. III. The change meets the Growth Management Act and the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
