AGENDA STAFF REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 1, 2018
ACTION REQUESTED: Continued closed record meeting to consider approval of the Amended Hyak
PUD Rezone Final Development Plan (RZ-87-00002).
BACKGROUND: On July 7, 1987, the Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners approved
the Hyak Planned Commercial Development (pre-dates Planned Unit
Development zone) for 650 units mixed between motel and multi-family on
approximately 25 acres through Ordinance 87-4. On January 18, 1994, the
Kittitas County Board of Commissioners approved the Amended Hyak Planned
Unit Development Rezone (Resolution 94-12), which reduced the overall
approved density to 622 units consisting of 562 multi-family dwelling units and
60 single family units. This final development plan consists of a total of 392 units
mixed between 344 multi-family units and 48 single family units, on 34 acres
located in the southwest quarter Section 15, Township 22 North, Range 11 East,
WM, Kittitas County, WA.
According to Kittitas County Code (KCC) 17.36.040, following approval of the
preliminary development plan by the county, the developer (owner) shall submit
a final development plan for approval by the Board. The final development plan
submittal shall be consistent with the process as outlined for final plat
development in KCC Chapter 16.20, which specifies that the Board shall
consider the plan at a public meeting (KCC 16.20.080).
According to KCC 17.36.045(2), the Board shall approve final development
plans for the PUD, provided the conditions imposed on the preliminary PUD
approval have been satisfied. Staff has reviewed the final development plan, and
finds that the conditions imposed by Resolution 94-12 have either been met or
are on-going conditions to be met prior to final plat approval (see Hyak PUD
Amended Compliance Review Matrix). Pursuant to KCC 17.36, the final
development plan has been reviewed by Kittitas County Community
Development Services for compliance with KCC 17.36 (at the time of project
preliminary approval) and Resolution 94-12.
A closed record meeting was held on April 2, 2018 at 10:00 am before the Board
to consider approval of the Hyak PUD Final Development Plan. During this
meeting, the Board directed staff to discuss with the prosecuting attorney’s office
whether or not the County has the authority to deal with current mitigation needs
of the area by adding additional conditions to the Final Development Plan. The
prosecutor’s office stated there is the ability for the Board to place additional
conditions on the Hyak PUD Final Development Plan to deal with current
mitigation needs of the area. Based on this conversation, Community
Development and Public Works staff has prepared five (5) conditions for Board
2
consideration to address the concerns raised by the Board at the April 2, 2018
meeting. These conditions were provided in a Memo from the Planning Official
dated April 11, 2018 and titled “Hyak PUD Final Development Plan – Staff
Recommended Conditions of Approval.”
A continued closed record meeting has held on April 17, 2018 to further
deliberate the final development plan. The BOCC directed staff to clarify the
open space plat notes to be consistent with county code and to also clarify that
building permits and home construction are only to be allowed on platted lots.
This meeting was then continued to May 1, 2018 for staff to provide amended
development plan documents and a resolution for consideration.
