Re: Comments on the Kittitas County 2026 Comprehensive Plan update <br />March 2, 2026 <br />Page 14 <br />to identify the strategies is now and no specific strategies were identified.37 This <br />violates RCW 36.7oA.070(9)(e)(i) and RCW 36.7oA.130(1)(a) and (5)(c). <br />Further, RCW 36.7oA.070(1) provides in part that "[t]he land use element must <br />reduce and mitigate the risk to lives and property posed by wildfires by using land <br />use planning tools, which may include, but are not limited to, adoption of portions <br />or all of the wildland urban interface code developed by the international code <br />council or developing building and maintenance standards consistent with the <br />firewise USA program or similar program designed to reduce wildfire risk, <br />reducing wildfire risks to residential development in high risk areas and the <br />wildland urban interface area, separating human development from wildfire prone <br />landscapes, and protecting existing residential development and infrastructure <br />through community wildfire preparedness and fire adaptation measures." This list <br />could be developed into specific policies and programs based on that policy. <br />Thank you for considering our comments.
