identification of process inconsistencies as they relate to administrative SEPA <br /> determinations and legislative SEPA determinations. Three code sections <br /> interact with SEPA appeals within Kittitas County Code; 15,15A, and 15B. <br /> Title 15A is intended to define the processes for administrative SEPA appeals. <br /> These are appeals related to non-legislative actions. Title 15B is intended to <br /> define SEPA appeals related to legislative action, such as Comprehensive Plan <br /> amendments and development regulations. Title 15 deals with SEPA <br /> specifically and contains a section related to appeals. <br /> Currently, these sections contain some contradictions that result in ambiguity <br /> as to which process should be applied in each circumstance. The proposed <br /> regulations will eliminate these contradictions and result in all administrative <br /> SEPA appeals to be heard by the Hearings Examiner and all legislative appeals <br /> to be heard by the Growth Management Hearings Board or Superior Court <br /> (depending on the nature of the legislative action). The proposed changes <br /> clearly define the process distinctions that are missing in the current regulations. <br /> These draft regulations are being provided to the Planning Commission as an <br /> introduction to the material and to provide an opportunity to address questions. <br /> No action is being requested at this time. <br /> INTERACTION: CDS,Planning Commission <br /> ATTACHMENTS: STR Regulations Draft for Planning Commission <br /> SEPA Appeal Update Draft for Planning Commission <br /> STAFF <br /> RECOMMENDATION: None <br /> HANDLING: Presentation to the Planning Commission by Kittitas County Community Development <br /> Services. <br /> RESPONSIBLE STAFF: Jeremy Johnston,CDS Long Range Planner <br />
