processes would include a review of additional traffic that may result in added noise. Future <br /> planned commercial and industrial development may result in added noise. <br /> Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: <br /> As a non-project action with no expected impacts to discharge to water;emissions to air; <br /> production,storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances,or production of noise no <br /> mitigation measures are included in the proposal. <br /> 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants,animals,fish.or marine life? <br /> • Indirectly,site-specific development planned for.in the Comprehensive Plan would allow <br /> development that may remove or alter plants and vegetation,disturb soils and add additional <br /> impervious surfaces,and impact habitat and animals through land clearing,construction of <br /> infrastructure and buildings, and additional impervious surfaces and related storm water runoff. <br /> • it is not anticipated that proposed amendments to the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan or <br /> County Code through the Annual Amendment process are likely to affect plants, animals,fish,or <br /> aquatic life over existing standards within current County regulations. <br /> Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants,animals,fish,or marine life are: <br /> The current Kittitas County Development Regulations include plans and policies to manage and <br /> preserve habitat and open space, as well as,critical area regulations. The County recently updated <br /> its Shoreline Master Program,in accordance with the Department of Ecology's guidance and <br /> periodic review process. The County is in the process of updating its Critical Areas Ordinance to <br /> address current conditions and incorporate Best Available Science. All adopted policies,goals and <br /> regulations would apply to future development as planned for in the Comprehensive Plan Update. <br /> 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? <br /> Energy conservation features are not applicable as part of this non-project action. Planned growth <br /> and development will require energy for heating,lighting,commercial and industrial uses, and <br /> other activities. <br /> Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: <br /> • As a non-project action that is unlikely to deplete energy or natural resources no protection <br /> measures are included within this proposal. <br /> • Future development proposals would be subject to development permit reviews which require <br /> them to meet applicable County Building and Energy Codes. <br /> SEPA Environmental checklist(WAC 197-11-960) <br /> Jury 2016 Page 24 of 26 <br />
