ACTION REQUESTED: Request to Set Public Hearing for BOCC consideration of the Critical Areas
Ordinance Update
BACKGROUND: CDS staff is requesting to set a public hearing on December 10th at 6:00pm in the
BOCC Auditorium for consideration of the proposed Critical Areas Ordinance
Update. The County has been working on updating the Critical Areas Ordinance
since approximately 2012 and is currently considered non-compliant with the WA
Department of Commerce. Our current Critical Areas Regulations were adopted in
1994. This update must be consistent with Best Available Science, the Growth
Management Act and other applicable state laws, applicable countywide planning
policies, and the goals, policies, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Kittitas County Planning Commission will consider these draft regulations at a
public hearing on November 27, 2018. A staff report containing staff
recommendations and the Planning Commission recommendations along with the
draft regulations will be provided prior to the public hearing.
