Applicable comprehensive plans and regulations that identify the type of land use for <br /> the site, specify density, and identify and provide for funding of public facilities needed <br /> to serve the proposed development and site should be the standard for project review. <br /> Consistency should be determined in the project review process by considering four <br /> factors found in applicable plans or regulations: <br /> a. The type of land use permitted at the site, including uses that may be <br /> allowed under certain circumstances, such as planned unit developments <br /> and conditional uses, if the criteria for their approval have been satisfied; <br /> b. The level of development allowed, such as units per acre or other measures <br /> of density; <br /> c. Infrastructure, such as the adequacy of public facilities and services <br /> identified in the comprehensive plan, to serve the proposed project; and <br /> d. The character of the proposed development, such as compliance with <br /> specific development standards. <br /> 2. In determining consistency, the determinations made pursuant to this title shall be <br /> controlling. <br /> 3. Project review should not require additional studies or mitigation under Chapter <br /> (SEPA) where existing regulations have adequately addressed a proposed project's <br /> probable specific adverse environmental impacts. <br /> 4. Supplemental authority as specified by Chapter 43.21 C RCW should be used to the <br /> extent that existing requirements do not adequately address a project's specific <br /> probable adverse environmental impacts. <br />
