Use of exemptions. <br /> 1. Each department within the county that receives an application for a license or, in <br /> the case of governmental proposals, the department initiating the proposal shall <br /> determine whether the license and/or the proposal is exempt. The department's <br /> determination that a proposal is exempt shall be final and not subject to <br /> administrative review. If a proposal is exempt, none of the procedural requirements <br /> of this chapter apply to the proposal. The county shall not require completion of an <br /> environmental checklist for an exempt proposal. <br /> 2. In determining whether or not a proposal is exempt, the department shall make <br /> certain the proposal is properly defined and shall identify the governmental licenses <br /> required(WAC 197-11-060). If a proposal includes exempt and nonexempt actions, <br /> the department shall determine the lead agency, even if the license application that <br /> triggers the department's consideration is exempt. <br /> 3. If a proposal includes both exempt and nonexempt actions, the county may <br /> authorize exempt actions prior to compliance with the procedural requirements of <br /> this chapter, except that: <br /> a. The county shall not give authorization for: <br /> i. Any nonexempt action; <br /> ii. Any action that would have an adverse environmental impact; or <br /> iii. Any action that would limit the choice of alternatives. <br /> b. A department may withhold approval of an exempt action that would lead to <br /> modification of the physical environment, when such modification would <br /> serve no purpose if nonexempt action(s)were not approved; and <br /> c. A department may withhold approval of exempt actions that would lead to <br /> substantial financial expenditures by a private applicant when the expenditures <br /> would serve no purpose if nonexempt action(s) were not approved. <br /> (Ord. 2011-013, 2011) <br /> Downloaded from https:Hecode360.com/KI6857 on 2026-04-22 <br />
