Docket items 2024-01 through 2024-10(not lncludlnf 2024-07 which has been withdrawn] Docket Item 2024-01—Docket Deadlines The document provided is an excerpt from the Comprehensive Plan proposing to change the docketing deadline from June 30 to March 311.While a change to the Comprehensive Plan is a good start,there are no proposed changes to the development regulations,specifically KCC 15B.03.030 and 15B.04.030 which also have a June 30 deadline.It is recommended the Comprehensive Plan not have specific deadlines(perhaps only reference RCW 36.70A.130)and that the KCC be amended with new deadlines. Please submit changes via Supplemental Submittal. CBala &JAylint: Thank you for your thought on this. I will state as a planner here back in the late 90's, as a consultant representing comp plan amendments for individuals, and participating in the long compliance effort,the county's comprehensive plan was upheld with a deadline date to docket a request in its annual comprehensive plan. Kittitas County chooses to continue to have a date within its comprehensive plan. If this gets approved KC will go back and amend its development code to reflect consistency. The reason for an earlier date is to provide staff more time to process due to every year the annual process puts Kittitas County up against the deadline date of December 31",whether it's the process, getting quorums for hearings due to all the holidays along with the everyday items that need to be processed. Docket Item 2024-02—LAMIRD update As discussed over the phone,this document does not describe which document is being amended,nor does it describe where the footnotes are located. Please refer to WAC 365-196-630(1)(b. As discussed,Senate Bill 6140 or RCW 36.70A.070(5)(d)(i)(C)(1)and(1I)allow 10,000 square feet for essential rural retail services. not all retail. If the retail use is not considered an essential rural retail service, it is either limited to 5,000 square feet or 2,500 square feet dependent on the circumstance described in the RCW. Please submit changes via Supplemental Submittal. CBala &lAyling:The rural LAMIRD use table where the footnotes are applicable were not proposed to be altered or amended only the two footnotes referenced in the table,therefore we only included the proposed changed footnote language to be consistent with Senate Bill 6140. Our allowed use table does not separate essential uses and non-essential uses, it lumps it all into retail sales/ General,that additional legwork is determined by the planner with customers on a case by case basis. There are too many variations of uses to capture them all in a table.The general uses are listed leaving the analysis up to the planner to determine if the table and footnote apply in each situation. our full intention is to apply the code consistent with Rcw.36.70A.070(5)(d)(i)(C)(I)and (il). Docket Item 2024-03—Annexation I was able to discuss the proposed adoption of Ellensburg's Annexation Ordinance with my supervisor.A County zoning map and future land use map describing the proposed change must be provided. Ellensburg's zoning map included in the Ordinance will not suffice as it displays city zoning. Please submit via Supplemental Submittal. CBala &1A, We should discuss this further. This is an annexation taking acres a out of KC jurisdiction by poing into the City Limits. The map is showing the area that is beinit removed.
