1. Spring Tree Ranch, LLC is proposing to rezone their 3 parcels, equaling 22.27 acres, currently zoned <br />Agriculture 5 to PUD. The rezone will allow the current use of the property to be consistent and <br />compatible with the zoning code, as well as allow future expansion of existing uses. A comprehensive <br />plan amendment (CP-24-00002), rezone application (RZ-24-00002), and SEPA checklist were submitted <br />as part of the application packet. Subsequently the project was revised and reduced to 22.27 acres on <br />September 20, 2024. This project is being processed through the 2024 Annual Comprehensive Plan <br />Docket process. <br />2. This proposal includes Tax Parcel numbers 376334, 386334, 396334 located at 1890 Nelson Siding Road, <br />in Section 27, Township 20, Range 14 in Kittitas County. <br />Total Proposal Size: 22.27 acres <br />Number of Lots: 3 <br />Domestic Water: None requested/proposed at this time. <br />Sewage Disposal: None requested/proposed at this time. <br />Fire Protection: Fire District 7 (Cle Elum) <br />Irrigation District: KRD <br />3.

The Comprehensive Plan designation is Rural Residential. <br />The subject property is currently located within Agricultural 5 zoning. Planned Unit Development zoning <br />is being requested for the properties. <br />The purpose and intent of the Agricultural 5 zone is to provide for an area where various agricultural <br />activities and low -density residential developments co -exist compatibly. A-5 zones are predominately <br />agricultural -oriented lands and it is not the intent of this section to impose further restrictions on <br />continued agricultural activities therein. <br />PUD has a requirement to not exceed the underlying density lot size while Agriculture 5 has a 5-acre <br />minimum lot size. Both zones have the same building setbacks (Front and Rear Yards: 25 feet, Side Yard: <br />5 feet). <br />6.
