Project Descr<rption: Descrfbe the scope of work. indicate the major work Involved. Including a brief comparison of existing and proposed conditions. The City of Cle Elam is proposing a design and construction project for improvements to the intersection of First Street and Billings Avemre, as well as stormwater improvements along First Street. Three infrastructure systems are being designed and constructed concurrently: Stormwater, sidewalk, and roadway. City leaders, staff, businesses, and residents defined a vision for spurring economic development in the recent Downtown Revitalization Plan, see attached "Downtown Revitalization planning 1 It Street Concept. To implement the Plan, the corridor project was separated into three succinct phases: 1) Phase One — Peoh Avenue and SR 903 (First Street) intersection improvements; 2) Phase Two — First Street Stonmwater improvements; and 3) Phase Three — Downtown Revitalization including First Street pedestrian and street improvements. Phase One design is complete:, and constracdw is scheduled to be complete by October 701 S. The First Street Stormwater and Billings Avenue Intersection Improvements is a meld between Phases Two and Three, including completion of the stormwater improvements, and design and reconstruction of the First Street and Billings Avenue intersection. This intersection is the furthest west on the First Street corridor as defined in the Downtown Revitalization Plan, serving as the westerly `book end" in defining the City's expected pedestrian commerce area and future walkable "Main Street". The concepts and amenities incorporated into the Phase Onc project were a direct result of Cle Elum's recent and unprecedented outreach during development of the Downtown Revitalization Plan. These same concepts will be incorporated into the First Street and Billings Avenue iniwsection improvements, for consistency throughout the downtown revitalization. The City has prepared the following summary comparing existing conditions (before the project) with Proposed conditions (following project completion). Existing tions Stormwater • Currently, stormwater runoff within the downtown basin is primarily unmanaged as the infrastrucpire does not contain suitable features to collect and properly dispose of surface runoff. The few existing storm facilities along the corridor include a mix of infiltration trenches and a 24" pipeline that drains to an open wasteway. The 24" storm drain pipe contains very few runoff collection points, while a majority of the catch basins utilize an uncharacteristically small 6"x6" grate, adding to the ineffectiveness of the existing system. Due to the very limited surface area, these small grates clog easily and often, resulting in ponding and wintertime icing. Though public works crews schedule ongoing system maintenance, these small grates become clogged and unusable lours after rain and snow events. • The First Street and Billings Avenue intersection has four catch basins, however, they are not located at the true low points, and one is not aligned with the curb. The curb and gutter at the Billings Avenue intersection does not wrap the radius, causing ponding and settling of the roadway in the immediate vicinity. Sidewalk • Sidewalk is deteriorating on both sides of First Street. Each comer of the Billings Avenue intersection includes a single, centered pedestrian ramp, not ADA conforming, and not aligned with striped crosswalks across Billings Avenue on the north and south sides of First Street. Power poles, street lights, and a fire hydrant exist in the sidewalk. Billings Avenue does not include sidewalks on either side of First Street. Street + First Street is an auto -centric thoroughfare. Since First Street was the original state highway through C1e Elam, prior to construction of Interstate 90 (I-90), First Street in the vicinity of the Billings Avenue intersection was constructed with 17 -ft wide travel lanes, a 12 -ft two-way turn lane, and 18 ft paved, striped, parking strips on both sides of the strwL The Billings Avenue intersection does not include a traffic signal or a marked crosswalk across First Street. Conditions • The Phase Two stormwater system project along the length of the First Street corridor includes 60 catch basins in total and 4,060 linear feet of new 12- and 24 -inch storm drain lines. The First Street and Billings Avenue intersection improvements will be constructed to adjoin the remaining First Street Corridor storrawater system. • The City proposes to install six catch basins with 24" x 20" frames and grates at First Street and Billings Avenue. The intersection improvements will also include four bulbouts with curb and gutter designed to better convey and collector starmwater runoff. Following completion of intersection improvements at both ends of the downtown corridor, the City can showcase quick results of the planning efforts made during the development of the Downtown Revitalization Plan and provide a visual definition of place for downtown commerce. Mew & • The First Street and Billings Avenue intersection improvements include sidewalk bulbouts with eight ADA curb ramps, widened sidewalks, pedestrian illumination, undergrounding utilities, amenities, street trees, planters, and irrigation. Cle Elum proposes to complete a continuous and unencunnbered sidewalk system on both sides of First Street accommodating pedestrians of all abilities. Sidewalk will be continued on both sides of First Street on Billings Avenue to accommodate appropriate crossings, and firturc sidewalk extensions north and south on Billings Avenue. The wide sidewalks allow for amenities such as seating, shade, bicycle racks, planter boxes, public art, and trash receptacles. The bulbouts are specifically designed to shorten pedestrian crossings at each intersection of the corridor, while also serving as traffic calming mechanisms, particularly for vehicles entering downtown $om the western "Safeway Hill" area S~ • The now auto -centric thoroughfare of First Street will be placed on a road diet. Driving lane widths will be reduced to 11 feet to promote calming through the corridor. Parking stalls on both sides of Furst Street will be widened and restriped to accommodate diagonal parking, allowing an increased number of available parking spots, at 30 -degree desirable angles, all without adding more impervious surfacing. Street lighting will be a blend of pedestrian -level and street lighting, with electrical GFCI receptacles incorporated into the lights for downtown events and holiday lighting. Designing and constructing the street for a right sized downtown feel and dimension will allow the City to better maintain the roadway system and related integrated infrastructure systems. 2. Explain the specific Infrastructure Issues the project addresses and how they are linked to economic development Improvements. The City is proposing to design and construct stormwater, sidewalk, and roadway infrastructure improvements concurrently at Billings Avenue and First Street. This comprehensive planning strategy allows the City to coordinate the improvements to different but integrated infrastructure systems, at the same location, while providing multiple benefits. Integrated planning allows time alignment across project scheduling for construction of all related systems. Because of the nature of these related systems, coordinating above and below ground elements minimizes disturbances while bringing aging infrastructure to a state of good repair with expected capacity. Additionally, the City should receive favorable construction bids due to the economy of scale. The design and construction of the proposed components at Billings Avenue and First Strieet completes another full intersection identified in the Downtown Revitalization Plan, prepares the City for economic development opportunities, and displays the City's commitment to its citizens and businesses. By planning in an integrated manner, necessary interruptions to local transportation, commerce, and day -today operations will be limited to one occasion, placing Cle Slum in a positive light with existing and prospective businesses. Separately, each of the project elements addresses infrastructure issues that are linked to economic development. When considered together, the First Street Stormwater and Billings Avenue Intersection Improvements project is undeniably well aligned with the purpose of the Distressed County Sales and Use Tax Infrastructure Improvement Program. This project and the Downtown Revitalization effort as a whole will not only directly impact the Cle Elum population of nearly 2,000 people, but will also positively reach all of Upper Kitdtas Couaty's 5,000 residents as Cle Elum's "downtown" is considered the downtown Upper Kittitas County. With very limited commence opportunities in the neighboring communities of South Cle Elum, Roslyn, Ronald, and Suncadia, Cie Elum's regionally significant Downtown Revitalization can meet all of Upper Kittitas County's day -today needs including retail, dining] service, medical, grocery, fuel, amongst many other industries. Complementing established businesses, the Downtown Revitalization will spark infill opportunities and expanded commerce. Stonswater Infrastructure Currently, Cle Elum's downtown is hampered by an inadequate stormwater system, negatively impacting commerce following rain and snow events throughout the year. Cie Elum enjoys year - wand outdoor tourism. Ample amounts of snow provide wintertime outdoor activities and considerable spring and fall rain provides lush and attractive forests encouraging outdoor recreation for much of the year. The same precipitation levels that position the City as a natural tourist destination also expose the deficiencies of the stormwatcr system, Puddling water during rain storms and icing of the streets in the winter discourage non -motorized transportation and stint a vibrant and walkable downtown. The detrimental infiltration and inflow (I&I) issues hampering Cle Mum's regional wastewater system are being identified and potentially partially corrected during the stormwater system reconstruction. By prohibiting unmanaged stormwater and I&I from consuming wastewater capacity, the City will be able to encourage commercial growth without costly upgrades to the regional wastewater treatment plant serving Cle Elum, South Cie Elum, Suncadia, Roslyn and Ronald. The City recently secured funding to fully design and construct Phase Two — First Street Stor mwater Improvements, a major component to the First Sir mt Stor mwater and Billings Avenue Intersection Improvemenis project. Sidewalk Ixfrashucture To shorten wa&mg distances to encourage safe pedestrian crossings at the intersection of Billings Avenue and. First Street, bulb -outs, pedestrian lighting, and street lighting will be introduced, designed for consistency with the First Street and Peoh Avenue intersection improvements, at the easterly downtown corridor entrance. Currently, the sidewalks along First Street are not continuous, have ADA compliance deficiencies, and are in an overall in a state of disrepair. The downtown revitalization project will create a walkable pedestrian corridor for residents and tourists, spurring positive economic impacts for cafes, retailers, and other downtown businesses. Constructing the bookends at the First Street and Pech Avenue and First Street and Billings Avenue intersections is a means of defining the City's expected pedestrian commerce area and future walkable "Main Street". 6 Encouraging non -motorized transportation integrating both motorized and non -motorized transportation, creates a safer and inclusive environment as promoted in the City's Complete Streets Ordinance No. 1455, see attached. In such an environment, many types of businesses can be co - located and thrive amongst the diversity. The sidewalks will have adequate width to acoommodate pedestrian amenities and allow businesses to expand their services and wares onto the sidewalk to further encourage foot traffic. Promoting the walkability in the downtown opens Cie Elum's business and economic opportunities, attracting pedestrians, bicyclists, and passenger vehicles alike. Roadway 14ft ate eftre First Street is an unusually wide street in a small City. The proposed road diet consisting of narrowing the roadway, increasing perking in a safer orientation, increasing sidewalk and pedestrian amenities, together should slow traffic in the downtown area and may reduce the frequency and severity of the 32 auto -related collisions experienced between 2013-2017. Designing for road diet treatments on First Street allows for non -motorized transportation options in a built environment meant to encourage and protect people using all modes and of all abilities. 3.

Explain how this infnntwcture protect has been coordinated, or will be coordinated with other jurisdictions, such as counties, cities, ststdelfederal agencies, and with economic development organizations during planning, design, financing, construction and/or operation phases. The City retained the services of HLA Engineer g and Land Surveying, Inc. (HLA), together with HBB Landscape Architecture (HBB), to facilitate the planning process to arrive at a concept titled the "Preferred Alternative" as shown on the attached pamphlet titled "Downtown Revitalization Planning lot Street Concept." The planning process was initiated in April 2017 with a Walk and Talk downtown tour, which included City staff and the Mayor, primarily to discuss existing themes, deficiencies, and opportunities. Next, four focus group sessions were administered with assistance from Central Washington University land use planning students, including business owners, longtime residents, students, and Suncadia Resort members. Focus groups discussed the following- How ollowing How would you describe Cle Elum? • What makes Cle Elum unique? Why do you come downtown? What do you like best? • What do you like least? Of the great things you like about other downtowns, what would you apply to First Street? From the focus groups, HLA and HBB created two geometric layouts of a typical block and three amenity grouping concepts. These layouts and concepts were presented at a community stakeholder workshop with 28 participants, and public preferences were noted.. Based on workshop findings, a preferred concept was born and presented at a combined City Council and Planning Commission study session, we attached titled "Cle Elum Downtown Planning — Focus on 1st Street Design Concepts." Following tin study session, the concept was presented at a public forum with 32 participants, continuing to gam traction. Atter detailing the preferred concept to address public desires, the Planning Commission prepared an official recommendation to the City Council on June 26, 2017, to adopt the Preferred Alternative, see attached. On June 27, 2017, the City Council adopted by Resolution 2017-011 (attached) the Preferred Alternative with an overwhelming amount of support from the community, 45 participants and standing roam only in the Council Chambers. 10 Construction of the stormwater system and street improvements will all take place within existing Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) right of way, while the City has control of access points. As a result, the City will be required to receive WSDOT approval on plans and specifications prior to construction. Preliminary approvals of channelizarion concepts have been granted by WSDOT. WSDOT Local Programs will administer coordination with headquarters and the Federal Highway Administration as the project includes secured Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) fimding. Additionally, Department of Commerce will provide oversight and bid package approval as the project includes Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. The City recently entered an interlocal agreement with Kittitas County for providing the City with Certified Acceptance (CA) services. The City welcomes continuing coordination with the Cle Elum Downtown Association and Chamber of Commerce as the project progresses, and anticipates coordinating with the Kittitas County Conservation District. As a part of the revitalizing downtown effort, City staff and assisting consultants have explored a variety of infrastructure improvements needed to help build a sustainable downtown core. Essentially, the grassroots coordination for this infrastructure project was initiated early and broadly. Following completion of the intersection improvements at First Street and Peoh Avenue, an overview presentation will provide an update to current efforts: a Walk and Talk Site Visit for partners and stakeholders (to be scheduled upon award notification). Similar to the First Street and Peoh Avenue, outreach to businesses and residents in close proximity to First Street and Billings Avenue will occur during numerous stages of the design process. A notice of progress will be maintained on the City website during the project. L Explain how the Infrastructure projeo# will help meet the economic development goals of your community andfor region. If this project is not done, will the anticlpated private development still take place? The First Street corridor is one of the original developed areas of the City and has seen few infrastructure improvements. Before Interstate 90, the First Street corridor (State Route 903) was the state highway through Cle Elum, which included right of way of 100 feet. Today, the 100 -foot right of way includes three wide travel lanes raging in width from 16 to 18 feet, two wide parallel Parking lanes ranging in width from 12 to 16 Beet, and deteriorated sidewalks ranging in width fim 10 to 14 feet. Due to the uncharacteristically wide travel and parking lanes and associated safety concerns, pedestrian flow and commence are scarce, as this geometry primarily caters to passing vehicular travel, all negatively impacting the local economy. In addition to the pedestrian safety concerns and indirect negative economic impacts of the existing wide-strseet footprint, the large quantity of unmanaged stop water runoff associated with the expansive impervious area within the first Street corridor must be corrected Unsafe surface conditions including stormwater ponding and wintertime icing adversely impact pedestrian and passenger vehicle travel, while indirectly impacting corridor businesses as commerce resultingly declines. All residents and businesses within the project area are impacted by the deficient stormwater system. This project is essential to advance the City's overall standard of living by improving current services and safety. If the identified improvements are not completed, there is potential for continued ponding and flooding, significantly impacting the First Street corridor and the community as a whole. The lack of proper stormwater management is resulting in high levels of Idtl in the sanitary sewer system which in turn places unnecessary capacity restraints on the City. Alleviating the stormwater-related capacity constraints allows for increased commerce opportunities in the downtown area. Until and unless the stormwater element of the roadway system is addressed, 11 private development is not promotable as the infrastructure systems are unreliable in the Fust Street corridor. Capacity constraints are not the only scheduling pressure on the impravemenffi for the First Street corridor. The proposed First Street Stormwater Improvements (Phase Two) must be installed before WSDOT completes their scheduled First Street (SR 903) Paver project, scheduled in Spring of 2022. If WSDOT completes paving activities before the storimwater improvements are installed, a five- year roadway moratorium will occur, prohibiting the City from construction within the roadway prism, further delaying an economically and physically revitalized downtown. S. Describe any feasibility or predeveiopment studies that demonstoats the linkage between the proposed DlsVessed County Infrastructure Improvements and the anticipated economic outcomes. Conceptual plans and studies have been prepared for Cle Elum's downtown corridor over the past 20 years to improve traffic flow, optimize parking, and build a pedestrian friendly environment. The latter has always been a focal point to enhance Cie Elum's tourism experience. The plans also addressed Uw rwd fief 1tWovements to stmawater facilities throughout the City. Past plans and studies continually lost momentum as the City's limited budget restricted possibilities for advancing forward without financial assistance. With procurement of grants in excess of $1.5 million in 1.5 years, Cle Elum residents and business owners have acknowledged the reality of the downtown revitalization truly coming to fruition. The rigorous planning process discussed in question 7 included feasibility analysis of design alternatives, followed by adoption of the preferred alternative by City Council. Though the planning process did not include a market study and potential economic outcomes following completion of the revitalization, comparisons were made to many of the eastern. Washington neighboring communities implementing main street revitalization, with overwhelming positive results. Eastern Washington examples of economic revitalization resulting from revitalized Main Streets/downtowns include Grandview, Sunnyside, and Yakima, Washington. The consultant team contracted by the City (HLA and HBB) led these three efforts, including the award-winning Grandview "Alive" Downtown Revitalization where over twenty store fronts were vacant prior to the project, and today, one store front stands vacant in the thriving community. 10. Indicate It other needed infrastructure (e.g., sourer, water, power) is In place or N there Is a pian for getting It In place. 11. The First Street Downtown Revitalization project as a whole was strategically planned to address underground facilities during or prior to sidewalk and street improvement project phases. Phase Two — First Street Stormwater Improvements is funded in total and will be completed as part of the First Street Stormwater and Billings Avenue Intersection Improvements. Undergrounding of power and other dry utilities will also be included in the stormwater project to isolate trench excavation needs to one instance. The City's sewer and water systems are already in place and will not require any modifications. As previously mentioned, the proposed stormwater improvements along the entire corridor must be installed before WSDOT completes the First Street (SR 903) Paver project, scheduled for the Spring of 2022. the Project. A The City, many community members, and various organizations have realized the importance of tourism in Cle Elum and the positive affect it has on the current and future businesses. Constructing a safe and efficient stormwater system in harmony with the street and sidewalk infisstructure systems is one of the first steps in creating a flourishing downtown. 12 Enhancing sidewalks and reducing street widths will transition First Street from an auto -centric thoroughfare to a more balanced, safe, and inviting downtown, encouraging tourists to park, walk, and shop. Currently, five businesses per year have complained to the City regarding poor storrawaftw facilities and drainage issues. Appropriate infias-ructure will not only retain several businesses but attract new ones. Completing this project will show good faith and resolve the source of those business complaints. 12. Indfcnted the Estimated Number al J<D001ned by the Project. 36 Assrmptione/Jusdflcatlond.LMethodology/Calculations In the shorter term, the City anticipates between 32 and 38 people will be employed during the three months of this construction project: One general contractor with 7-8 employees and additional subcontractors: • Paving subcontractor. 8-10 employees • Sidcwalk/Curbing subcontractor: 8-10 employees • Traffic control sub A*actor: 45 employees • Const nwdon administration services: 5 employees Indirectly, and in the longer terra, the completion of First Street Starmwater and Billings Avenue Intersection Improvements will spur job creation as infill is experienced in vacant stone fronts and restaurants expand business hours to serve additional customers. Also indirectly, the project will reduce the amount of unintended sanitary sewer IBI, allowing increased sewer system capacity for new commercial connections. By providing capacity, businesses are encouraged to develop in this tourist -oriented district, creating year-round job opportunities. 13 Applicant Certification Certification is hereby given that the information provided is accurate and the applicable attachments are complete and included as part of the application package.

The CEDS identifies issues, needs and critical priorities that impact the region's ability to advance the local economy. The need for a CEDS is not driven solely by a desfre for federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) funding. Rather, this strategy and the process formed to complete it, serves as a platform for future economic development planning in the region. To drive and shape the planning process, Yakima and Kittitas County Commissioners appointed a special CEDS steering committee. This group has met frequently during the CEDS process and has been instrumental in developing the plan and encouraging public involvement. The CEDS committee is comprised of: Jim Anderson, Kittitas County Chamber of Luz Gutierrez, Las Milpas, LLC Commerce Jean Brown, Yakima County Development Assn. Larry Mattson' Yakima Valley Conference of Governments Karen Cunningham, Yakima Nation Mario Martinez, Mayor, City of Mabton Rand Elliot, Yakima County Commissioner Obie O'Brien, Kittitas County Commissioner ! Jesse (arias Mayor, City of Wapato Dr, Bill ProvamIck, CWU Institute for innovation and Entrepreneurship I pavid Gonzales, South Central Workforce Council The steering committee was appointed In May 201.2 and initially helped Dr, Roy Savolan from Central Washington University develop an economic and demographic portrait of the region. The group then developed a fist c f SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) for Yakima and Kittitas Counties that became the basis for public forums and discussions. During the fall the CEDS committee organized six public forums to share information about the planning process and generate input regarding the region's SWOT. Forum participants were also asked to identify strategies that could help diversify the regional economy. One of these 3 forums was held in Spanish to ensure that the area's large Latino population was encouraged to participate in the planning process. An electronic survey was also developed to provide the public another alternative for providing Input Into the planning process. Between the public forums and the online survey, the CEDS committee was able to generate significant public participation in the planning process. Public and CEDS committee input helped shape the key goals and objectives outlined in this plan. Each year the Counties plan to In March 2013 the CEDS committee evaluated economic development projects submitted by local governments and non-profit organizations. The group has also been extremely helpful as reviewers and editors of the final plan. In April 2013 the draft pian was presented to both County Commissions and posted on each County's website (in addition to economic development websites within the region). The public was again invited to review and comment on the draft pian. In May 2013 each County Commission held public hearings on the plan before adopting it via joint resolutions. refresh their CEDS plan incorporating new goals and projects consistent with the region's aspirations for economic vitality. As we finish the Initial 12 -month planning period a debt of gratitude goes to the members of the CEDS steering committee. They spent countless hours driving the planning process and making it work. Thanks also go to each County Commission for supporting the CEDS. Each Commission saw the benefits of regional collaboration and is to be commended for supporting the process. We also appreciate all the people who participated in public forums during the planning process, or touched our CEDS development at some point over the last year, 4 Executive Summary The Kittitas-Yakima Economic Region is a beautiful region of lakes, rivers, and national parks with all four seasons. Hot and dry summers contrasted with cool and wet winters provide a climate suitable for a variety of interests and lifestyles. This diverse landscape of rivers to plains to forests and mountains is only rivaled by the diversity of its residents. - With a population of 292,640 and population density of 76.76 per square mile as of 2015, the Kittitas Vaklme Economic Region can be described as a rural con munity. Similar to most rural areas, agriculture is an economic mainstay that fosters a consistent business climate built around agriculture. Unlike many rural communities, agriculture in the Kittitas Yakima Economic Region has a fair market value of over $1 billion dollars sold locally, nationally and Internationally. Other significant industries or clusters in the region include health services, warehouse/distribution, manufacturing, alternative energy and tourism. Some of the Kittitas Yakima region's economic strengths include: ✓ its proximity to the major metropolitan area of Seattle and Portland markets ✓ a strong and diverse natural resource based economy; ✓ a concentration of higher education institutions; and ✓ an outstanding quality of life featuring great weather and outdoor recreation options. Some of the region's weaknesses include: ✓ Lack of family -wage employment opportunities ✓ Low K-16+ education attainment and corresponding occupational skill gaps ✓ Complacency towards growth and economic diversification Despite some of the region's challenges, the Kittitas Yakima area has enormous economic potential. The CEDS outlines six key goals to advance the regional economy. K[rTr M YAKimA QiWREmENsiyE EcoNamic DEVELOPMENT STRATEtiy GuAll 2013-2017) Goal One: Support the Retention and iEgwnslon of Regional dusters and lndustrles Gaal Two: Support Small Business 5uoress and Entrepreneurship Goal Three; Develop a 7alented Wo*hwce Goal Four: Irwest in Capital Facilities and Infrastructure Goal Five: promote Tourism and Develop Visitor Amenities Goal six: Enhance Downtown and Ne thborhood Businesa District Vitality These broad objectives align closely with the Washington state's economic development plan and workforce development plans for the region. Each of the goa Is has a number of accompanying actions and strategies that are expected to unfold over the following five years. 5 During the planning process, local jurisdictions and nonprofit organizations were invited to submit projects that could create jobs, stimulate private investment or set the stage for future development. Twenty projects were submitted and the CED5 steering committee ranked the projects in terms of their readiness and potential to boost jobs and the regional economy. i yr L.L;Loaw PROJECTS t -un i%itTITAS-1rAKIMA REGION Below is a ranked list of all submitted projects. projects were ranked based on several criteria, listed here in order of importance: job creation, funding leverage, readiness to proceed, likelihood of success, and the overall need for the project In the event there was a tie, the project that crp"d the most jobs and showed the greatest readlness to proceed received superior ranking. 1.

Land Use 2.1. Introduction and Overview The Lend Use Element plays the central role in guiding land use patterns and decisions for the County. In keeping with State law, the County fulfills its responsibility of shaping land use primarily through its Comprehensive Plan policies and implementing development regulations. While this chapter addresses all land uses in the County, the emphasis is on urban lands. Rural and resource land uses are specifically addressed in Chapter ti, Rural and Ream= Lands, The majority of new growth in the County is encouraged to Locate in established cities and urban growth areas (UGAs) where adequate public facilities and services can be provided in an efficient and economical manner. An adequate supply of land in the UGAs will ensure that immediate and future urban needs are met as well as provide for an orderly and efficient transition fi-om low intensity land uses to urban land uses over time as the incorporated cities expand. Growth Management Act Goals Tbree of the Growth :Management Act (GMA) planning pais are particularly relevant to land use: Urban growth. Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. (Revised Code of Washington [RCW] 36.70A.020(1)) Reduce sprawl. Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped laud into sprawlin& low-density development. (RCW 36.70A.020(2)) Private properly. Private Property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation having been made. TU property rights of landowner's shall be protected from arbitrary and discriminatory actions. Xittkas County December 241 ti Comprehensive Plan 2.1 hand Use H.Z. Land Use Patterns Kittitas County is located at the geographic center of Washington State, midway between the heavily populated Paget Sound region and the eastern farming areas centered around Moses Lake. More than half ofthe County is covered by coniferous forests, while approximately thirty percent (30°x6) is in pasture or unimproved grazing land. Less than two percent (2%) of the County is in urban development. The County covens 2,315 square miles of highly varied terrain and climates. Beginning in the high Cascades the land slopes generally to the east and south to the Columbia River. Land use in Kittitas County ranges from residential uses to resource based activities. In the Snoqualmie Pass area, resource allocation in the form of timber harvesting is the predominant land use with additional ansa w d for recreation. Resource lands still predumiunic the mid - elevations, though residential development increases in these areas. In the lower elevations, agricultural activities are the main land use, with residential development intermixed in the area The Department of Defense's Yakima Training Center is located in the southeastern portion of the County, and makes up a large percentage of the ownership in the lower Kittitas Valley, approximately 164,132 acres. 2.1.3. Existing Density Zone classifications consistent with the Comprehensive Plan determine the allowable development density throughout the County. Under current zoning, densities range from one unit per 6,400 square feet to one unit per 80 acres. For example, the Suburban zone allows a density of one unit per acre, while the Agricultural -3, Rural- 5, and Agricultural -20 Zones allow for a density range of one unit per three acres, five acres, or twenty acmes. respectively. The lowest density in the County is in the Commercial Forest'Zone where the assigned density is one unit per 84 acres. 2.1.4. Zoning and Land Use Designations The fallowing table shows the land use designations assigned in this Comprehensive Plan, along with the corresponding zone classifications present in each lend use designation and the total area In acres occupied by that zone. Kittkas Doubly December 2016 Comprehensive Plan 2.2 Lana use 2.2. Use Goals and Policies The foundation of the Comprehensive Flan consists of the major goals and policies established by the County during the planning process. it is upon these goals and policies that virtually the entire plan is based. The planning process is an on-going process consisting of establishing, applying, monitoring and evaluating goals and policies. Different goals may at times conflict requiring the County to weigh one goal against the other in order to choose a policy direction. Citizen participation has been a vital part of the planning process and has guided formation of goals, policies, and objectives. The fnllnwing gmwrol gods, policies, and objectives (GPOs) in this chapter and elsewhere in the Comprehensive Plan have been drawn from that process. 2.2.1. General Goals and Policia: GPO 2.1 The land use pattern for the County shall protect the natural environment, traditional uses, and rural character by directing future resides lal development which is not compatible with rural character to urban areas. GPO 2.2 Protect, preserve, maintain, and enhance the County's natural resource industry base, natural environment, and rural character, including but not limited to timber, agriculture, mineral, water and energy resources. The County shall avoid land use conflicts with its resource industry by applying low residential densities to lands adjacent to resource lands. GPO 2.3 The County should diversify economic development by providing broader employment opportunities. GPC) 2.4 Encourage urban growth and development in those area where public roads and services can support such growth, and where development will pause minimal environmental degradation, reduce the conversion of land for development, and concentrate future growth in established cities and urban growth areas. GPO 2.5 Encourage zoning and development regulations in the UGAs that ensure the cost of new housing in these areas will not be substantially higber than equivalent lousing outside these areas. GPO 2.6 Kittitas County should encourage residential and economic growth in cities and urban growth areas to minimize the costs of providing public utilities and services and reduce the conversion of rural and resource lands. GPD 2.7 Kittitas County will maintain a flexible balance of land uses which will protect, preserve, and enhance the rural character, historical forest lands, agriealtural industries, mineral lands, and high quality environment. GPD 2.8 Kittitas County will cooperate with the private sector and local communities in actively improving conditions for economic growth and development. Kiftitas County December 2018 Comprehensive Plan 2.4 Land Use GPO 2.9 The process and formula for population projection and allocation in Kittitas County is outlined in the County -wide Planning Policies. To achieve and maintain rural character and resmuce based industries, the allocation of population growth to rural and resource lands should be minimized and should not represent a significant portion ofthe County's residential growth capaciv- GPO 2.10 When adapting development regulations, Kittitas County shall notify property owners that zoning and land use may change, and will consider requests for amendments made to individual properties. GPO 2.10A Kittitas County recognizes the imports= of Natural Area. Preserves and Natural Resource Conservation Areas administered by the Washington Sh tc Department of Natural Resources under RCW 79.70 and 79.71. The County will seek to be included in the identification and development of management plans for these sites located within the County. GPO 2.14E The County may develop study areas, either Countywide or specific geographic locations, for analysis and implementation of a variety of planning techniques and tools, including but not limited to: subarea plans, zoning designations, design standards and development requirementL GPO 2.1 OC Study areas shall be considered for the following issues and areas. • Teanaway Drainage Basin Freeway Interchanges ■ Yakima River Watershed Planning Snoqualmle Pass subarea, including Gold Creek Easton Ronald Thorp Vantage GPO 2.11 Kittitas County recognizes the need to provide adequate and efficient fire services to all areas of the County. The following sees should be utilized: • Adopt and implement the most current version of the International Fire Code including the Urban -- Wildiand Interface Code (UWIC) • Participate in the Community Fire Wise Programs • Develop Community Fire Wise Plus Encourage coordination with and between Fire Districts Encourage coordination with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources GPO 2.12A Kittitas County shall work with cities in collaborative efforts that result in transfer of development rights, to encourage and promote the protection of Rural Lands, Natural Resource Lands, Forest Lands and Agriculture Lands. This may be accomplished through development of interlocal agreements. Kittitas County Dmrnber M i Cornpmhonsive Plan Lend use GPO 2.12B Reserved. GPO 2.13 Electric and natural gas trarnission and distribution facilities may be sited within and through areas of Kittitas County both inside and outside of municipal boundaries, UGAs, Master Pk%mied Resorts, and LAMERDs, including to and through rural areas of Kittitas County. GPO 2.14 Kittitas County will continue to explore incentives for farming and ranching to cantle as significant land uses, for example, innovative cluster platting, tt=fer of development rights, and planned unit developments. GPO 2.15 The development of resource based industries and processing should be encouraged in all a>ress of Kittitas County. When such uses are located in rural and resource lards, criteria shall be developed to ensure the protection of these lands to ensure compatibility with rural character. Consider adding a definition for "resource based industry" to the definitions in Title 17, Zoning. GPO 2.16 Habitat and scenic areas are public benefits which must be provided and financed by the public at large, not at the expense of individual landowners and homeowners. GPO 2.17 Kittitas County may accept by bequest lands for habitat and scenic areas. GPO 2.18 If Kittitas County chooses to acquire additional lands for habitat and scenic areas, it may consider a variety of methods of financing, including grants of State or federal funds, or other instruments. GPO 2.19 The County should recognize the abundance of habitat, scenic area and views on publicly -owned lands when assessing the need for additional such lands. Efforts to connect habitat and open space on private lags to habitat and open space on public lands shall be encouraged. GPO 2.20 Efforts to retain access to public lands shall be encouraged. GPO 2.21 A Designate sufficient available land for specialized industrial uses that are by their nature compatible with residendal, agricultural, recreational, and other general land use types. GPO 2.21 S Promote industrial developmerit within the UGAs by encouraging influsbuctune improvements and new business recruitment. GPO 2.21C Encourage an adequate inventory of developable property to accommodate the siting of new, and the expansion of existing industrial uses. GPO 2.21D Identify areas where mixed commercial and industrial uses can be sited if compatibility is evident. GPO 2.22 Kittitas County shall coordinate with State and federal agencies in the development plans and of land use regulations by providing notification to appropriate agencies of new planning activities.

Subarea Plans The subarea comprehensive plans for Ewftn, Swauk-Teanaway, Thorp, Westside and Taneum can be found in Volume H of the Kittitas County Comprehmsivc Plan, 1996. These subarea comprehensive plans have no official standing in future land use decisions but may be used as evidence to support f=w comprehensive plan amendments. They constitute a major part of the County's public participation in building the comprehensive plea Snognalmie Pass Comprehensive Plan Snoqualmie Pass Subarea Comprehensive Plan has been adopted into the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan and is located in Chapter 7 of this document. 2,3. Urban Growth Areas The areas included within the urban growth area boundaries are intended to urbanize and become am mod in the proceeding 20 years. Until that time, these lands will continue to be under County jurisdiction. To ensure both consistency and coordination with the future annexing jurisdiction, planning for these areas will be done in concert with the respective cities. In additiM interlocal agreements with the individual cities may be necessary to provide the necessary administrative guidance and services to these unincorporated areas. As portions of the urban growth areas develop, it is assumed that these areas will be annexed to an adjacent city. Prior to annexation, intergovernmental agreements will need to be created to address the allocation of financial burdens that result Ihmn the transition of land from County to city jurisdiction. Similarly, agreements will need to be draped to coordinate plamtiing efforts for the unincorporated areas of the urban growth arras and with facility providers in the other areas throughout the County. The following are additional issues that must be resolved by the cities and Kit6tas County for the preparation and implementation of goals, objectives and policies contained in this comprehensive plan: liiMtse County December 2016 Comprehensive Plan 2.9 Land Use Joint interlocat agreements*: 1) Unified or consistent subdivision code; 2) Municipal utility extension agreement for water, sewer and gas; 3) Intergovernmental service agreements for libraries, Tare, emergency medical service, and parks and recreation; 4) Unified or consistent zoning rode with provisions for urban timing, transitional zoning and other transitional uses; 5) Density and land use mapping; 6) Airport Facility -flight safety zones, density, land uses, expansion of the airport and services provided for the City of FRllenclnrrg 7) Extension and acquisition of rights-of-way; 8) Unified or consistent road standards, stormwater standards and level of service; 9) Annexation agreements; and 10) Shoreline master program amendments. *This list is not intended to be all inclusive. The individual cities within Kittitas County are responsible for developing a final urban growth area boundary, future land use plans for the unincorporated portion of their respective urban growth areas, and facility or service needs to accommodate the 20 -year population growth. These plans are to be submitted to Kittitas County for consideration and ultimately adoption as a portion of the County comprehensive plan RCW 36.70A.110(5) states, "Final urban growth areas shall be adopted at the time of comprehensive plan adoption under this chapter..." and RCW 36.70A.110(6) states, "Each county shall include designations of urban growth areas in its comprehensive plan." Urban growth areas am identified for the cities of Ellensburg, Cie Elum, Roslyn, Kittites, and the Town of South Cle Ehum. GPO 2.27 For purposes of administering the urban growth ares for the City of Ellensburg, in the event a mad right-of-way forms the boundary of the UGA then the boundary shall be extended 660 -feet for areas designated for residential uses and ✓z -mile for areas designated for industrial uses. The extension of the UGA in these areas is made to allow for efficient extension of utilities within the road right-of-way. GPO 2.28 Reserved. GPO 2.29 Kittitas Comity shall seek consistency in development regulations in urban growth areas with adjacent cities and when appropriate where rural development may impact future urban growth This may be accomplished through: • Coordination through the Conference of Governments Kittilas County December 2016 Comprehensive Plan 2.10 Land Use • Development of Interlocal agreements * Use of overlay zones such as Rural Transition Zones GPO 2.30A Consideration for all future development should be the adaptability of a proposal to both public and private utilities such as municipal water and sewer systems. GPO 230B Expansion ofthe UGA should be encouraged in auras least suited for agriculture and mss not impacted by critical areas. GPO 2.30C Urban Reserve: "Urban Reserve" is population allocated to Kittitas County by the State Office of Financial Management that the Kittitas County Conference of Governments (KCCOG) has placed in accounts for the various municipalities. Upon demonstration by the 10ven municipality, thmugh appropriate land capacity and capital facilities analysis, some or all of that population, curmntly held in Urban Reserve as an account, cavi be Udw, a uul and added to the municipality's population allocation. Ibis demonstration shall be made to the KCCOG and the KCCOG will determine the amount of Urban Reserve to be withdrawn and added/adjusted to the municipality's population allocation. Until such land capacity and capital facilities demonstration and determinations are made by the KCCOG, population held in Urban Reserve is not part of a municipality's population allocation and cannot be used as a basis for zoning or UGA size changes. GPO 231 In UGAs where there is an absence of urban utilities, a system of subdivision and development should be encouraged which would produce a pattern capable of re -division to a higher density at such time when utilities are available. GPO 2.32A Encourage and accommodate future expansion of utilities and roadways in a logical nuamer for new development in urban growth areas. Expansion of utilities and roadways shall not be made exclusively to accommodate new development outside of urban growth areas. GPO 2.32B Adopt urban growth area (UGA) boundaries to accommodate residential and employment increases projected within the boundaries over the next 20 years. GPO 2.33 As allowed in GPO 2.108 and GPO 2.10C the County should develop a study area around each Urban Growth Area that may lead to the development of a Rural Transition Zone overlay. The study area should consider but not be limited to: • Strategies to accommodate urban development in the 20 -to -50 -year planning horizon • Shadow platting to pian for and accommodate future development • Transfer of Development Rights receiving areas • Use of Cluster Development • Urban design standards consistem with adjacent or nearby cities GPO 2.34 The UGAs shall be consistent with the following criteria, a. Each UGA shall provide sufficient urban land to accommodate future populatlonlemployment projections through the designated planning period; Kiilitas County December 2016 Compmhensive Plan 2.11 Land Use b. Lands included within UGAs shall either be already characterized by urban growth or directly adjacent to such lands; c. Existing urban Iand uses and densities should be included within UGAs; d. liGAs shall provide a balance of industrial, commercial, and residential lands; e.

Housing Element Tables showing specific data on housing shaven in the Comprehensive Plan enc available from the KittitU County Community Development Services Department. i.1. Introduction This Housing Element describes existing housing conditions and needs in Kittitas County, and projected housing needs for the period 2005-2025. This element; to the extent possible, includes information on the plans, goals and specific housing needs of the incorporated cities, towns, and subarea plans within Kittitas County. The purpose ofthis element is to identify Kittites County's goals, policies and sh tegies for the preservation, improvement and development of housing, and the mechanisms that will lead to affordable housing choices far all economic segments of the population. Element organization The Housing Element consists of three main sections. The first section, "Housing Conditions and heeds" includes statistics, which support the County's housing goals and policies. It summarizes existing housing conditions and needs, and projected housing needs within the County. It focuses on inventory data, which support the County's policy orientation on growth management. The second section, `°Goals and Policies" presents a general set of comprehensive goals and policies to guide the implementation of the comprehensive plan. The final section, "Housing Strategies" consists of a set of strategies related to implementation of the Housing Element, and to address future issues that may arise. 3.2. Housing Conditions and Needs In order to effectively plan for the housing needs of Kittitas County residents, and fixture residents, it is necessary to assess the existing housing conditions and needs in the County. This section of the Housing Element describes the number, type and other characteristics of housing units within Kittitas County. It also describes the population of Kittitas County as it relates to housing needs. Kittitas County Dwernber 2016 Comprehenaive Plan 3.1 Hw[sing Element Much of the data coed in this section conies from the U. S. Bureau of Census 1990 ccesus and 2000 cerisus. Other hftmatlon in this section comes from other published reports regarding Kittitas County housing needs and population, and from the housing studies completed by some of the subareas in the County. Number, Type and Distribution Of Housing Units According to the 2000 Census, Kittitas County has approximately 16,475 housing units. Most of the housing units, (55%0 ere located within incorporated cities. The largest city, Ellensburg has 41% of the County's housing units. Table 3.1 shows the distribution of housing units by city and unincorporated area for 1980, 1990 and 2000, and the percent of change in the housing distribution over the twenty year period. A percentage of the housing units in Kittitas County are located in unincorporated areas, which are not served by public water or sewer systems. The number and percent of housing units on private wells and septic tanks has increased since 1990. Most of the housing units in Kittitas County are owner occupied single-family units. In 2000, approximately 47% of the County's hong units were owner occupied. Since 1990, the number of housing units within the unincorporated areas of Kinbs County has increased. Data on issued building permits is maintained by Kittitas County Community Development Services. If growth in Kittitas County population continues in the same pattern as it has since 1990, the majority of the new housing units will be single f anily homes in the incorporated and urban growth areas. Changes to the zoning designations and the provision of water and sewer in the unincorporated area could target growth to selected areas. Tenure and Occupancy Rates According to the 2000 census figures there were 16,475 housing units m Kittitas County. Of these housing units, 13,382 were occupied. The approximately 3,093 Vacant units include seasonal, recreational and fhrm worker housing. In some areas of the County such as Easton, Snoqualmie Pass and Swauk-Teaneway, seasonal and recreational units comprise a majority of the units. Of the occupied units, 7,805 were occupied by the owner, and 5,577 were occupied by a renter_ This represents a home ownership rate of 58%. This rate is higher than it was in 1990 (57%). Efforts targeted at assisting first-time homebuyers and offering housing in various price ranges may encourage trend. 'Dere exists in Kittitas County group quarters dominantly found as a result of students at Central Washington University residing in group quarters. Another form of group quarters available in Kittitas County occsus through nursing homes. Persons in musing homes include individuals with disabilities, and those who are elderly. The portion of the County's population which is over the age of 80 years increased by 186 people KlttRm County — December 2016 Comprehensive Plan ? " Housing Element between 1990 and 2000. This increase in elderly persons may result in the demand for more nursing care facilities. Other persons living in group quarters include individuals with developmental disabilities. As these individuals age, it is likely that some of them will require assisted living or nursing care facilities. (Kittitas County Mental Health/Developmental Disability Board) Value and Cost of Housing Sale prices of homes are an indicator of the value of homes available in the community. The average We price for homes in the Lower Kittitas County area in 2006 was 5250,573.. Currently, the average pricc of single-family homes available for sale is $264,502 (figures based on information provided by a local real estate broker from data tdwn from the Narrhwest Multiple Listing Service). This increase in home puumhase prices has made home ownership beyond the affordability of many potential homebuyers. Using the Washington Center for Real Estate Research's formula for calculating the number of first-time homebuyers in Kittitas County who can afford to purchase the median priced resale home, 43.2°% of theae potential purchasers can afford the median priced home. In Kitbtas County, the current "ceiling" for FHA loans is at $144,336.00. There are few homes available for sale, which qualify for the federal home purchase programs. Data from the U.S. Census in 1990 indicated a median rent of SW for the county. The 2006 census data currently reflects a median rent of $497, which represents a 66% increase from the 1990 median rent. According to the census there were 5,408 renter households in Kittitas County. In October of 2005, the Kiititas County Conference of Govelmmeats (COG) adopted the high population projection provided by the Washington State Office of Financial Managamenit (OFM) for the planning period of 2005-2025. This provided for a population projection for the entire county of 52,180 people in the year 2025. The County -Wide Planning Policies have set population allocations fur local jurisdictions. The total 20 -year allocation for Kittitds County is at 15,052. According to the 1990 Census, there was an average of 2.33 people per household. This figure was for the entire county and represented all single-family units. The following equation can be used to determine the number of future housing units that may be needed. Projected Population Increasd Average # of persons per household = Total # of dwelling units needed 15,052 / 2.33 = 6,460 Total # of dwelling units needed - Ddsting vacant units* = # of additional units needed — 6,460 - 0 = 6,460 *The number of vacant units is assumed to be 0. By using this equation with the 2000 Census average number of people per households and the County -Wide Planning Policies 20 -year population allocation for the county, ate total number of additional units needed between 2005 to 2025 is 6,460. PcIttitas County December 2013 Comprehensive Plan 3.3 Housing 5errrerrt The allocation of these housing units by geographic area and type will be determined by a number of factors including land availability, property ownership, land use controls and market forces. For the purpose of this Housing Element ex6 ing settlement patterns, land use designations and known environmental constraints will be used to project needed numbers of housing units by area. The projected number of housing units for the unincorporated county is currently divided into UGA's and unincorporated areas. 3.3. City Housing Assessments There are five incorporated cities in Kittitas County, including Ellensburg, Kittitas, Cle Slum, South Cie Elm, sort Roslyn. The cities have designated Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) outside of the current city limits. It is recognized and anticipated that as the cities undergo #heir own individual Comprehensive Plan Updates that housing assessor" be available. With current updates occurring, information on housing assessments is anticipated to be adopted in 2007. Kittitas County intends to work together in a cooperative manner with the cities in order to address housing issues brought to light by such. assessments. 3A Goals, Policies, and Objectives Kittites County has established the following goals and policies to guide future housing development. These goals and policies were developed in response to existing housing conditions and identified needs within the County, and support the Courity-Wide Planning Policies.

GPO 3.24 Kittitas County shall employ a variety of strategies to increase and maintain the availability of affordable housing, 3.5. Kittitas County Housing Strategies The goals, which have been developed to guide future housing development in Kittitas County can be achieved by adopting the previously stated policies and implementing the following strategies. These strategies include several recommended changes to the zoning code. These recommendations of change to the zoning code are consistent with the consideration of alternate land use designations currently being studied by Kit u s County. Specific references are not made to a particular zone at this time, since more than one land use designation system is being proposed. Instead the term "higher density acme" in the strategies refers to those residential KRUtes County December 2016 Comprehensive Plan 3.5 Chapter 4. Transportation 4.1. introduction This chapter is organized into the following sections, which correspond to major issue areas identified throughout the comprehensive planning process. Each section contains proposed goals, policies, and implementation measures for consideration and inclusion in the final comprehensive plow Inventory of Existing Facilities and Services Land Use, Environment and Economic Development Level of Service and Concurrency Finance a Ldergovernmental Coordination and Public Participation The complete Long -Range Transportation Plan is maintained by the Kittitas County Department of Public Works, The Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan includes the Transportation Plan by refet+em. The Transportation Plan is adopted through a separate process than the annual amendment platy. Any changes made are adopted by reference to the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan at adaption. 4.2. Description of the Existing Transportation System Kittitas County's road system in the lower valley is roughly based on a one -toile grid system, which is intended to follow section lines or reasonable fractions of a section subdivision (i.e. quarter sections, 1/1 6th lines, etc.). The upper reaches of the county are mountainous and roads lend themselves more to terrain and other physical conditions than to survey features. Kitiitas County December 2045 Comprehensive Plan 47 TransponoWn 'Dere are various categories of roads within Kittitas County that are administered and maintained by difftwt agencies and property owners, including federal, state, county, city, and private. Federal roads include the interstate b%hway system and US Forest Service roads. These roads are administered by federal agencies. State toads include highways that are administered and maintained by the Washington State Department of Transportation and Department of Natural Resource roads, which provide direct access to state lands. QgM roads are officially adopted onto the Kittitas County Road system by the Board of County Commissioners and are also known as "on -system" roads. The county is responsible for maintenance and improvements to these roads. trt roads we administered and maintained by the cities of Cie Elum, Ellensburg, Kittitas, Roslyn, and the Town of South Cle Ehnn. &-vete roads are usually created by developments. They are owned, controlled, and typically m btained by private property owners. Private roads can be dedicated to the public through a platting process or by being used by the public for over TO years without being accepted as a part of the county road system by the Board of County Commissioners. These roads are known as public "off system" roads and cannot be gated or obstructed. County Roads The Long Range Transportation Plan, adopted by reference, provides a summary ofthe county road log inventory of existing conditions for all county on -system roads. They are grouped according to functional classification and include mileage for each road and then a total for each classification. The "Urban" and "Rural" classifications refer to the federal urban amen around Ellensburg. Also included in the Long -Range Transportation Plan is an inventory of existing conditions including pavement width, pavement type, a history of Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes, roadway capacity, and roadway level of service (LOS). Changes to Road Inventory Some of the existing county roads may be vacated or annexed in any given year. Road vacations take the mileage off the inventory through a public transfer ofthe property. Annexations of properties into city limits can involve transferring ownership and maintenance responsibilities of adjacent roads to a city. Road vacations and annexations remove road mileage from the county road log inventory. Just as annexations and vacations remove roads from the inventory, construction of new county roads adds mileage to the inventory. New roads can be constructed either by County resources or as part of developments. Older Transportation Modes There are several alternative transportation modes utilized in Kittitas County other than driving passenger vehicles on roads. These transportation modes include rail, truck service, public transportation, air, and non -motorized systems. The Long -Range Transportation Plan that is lis County December 2016 Comprehensive Pian Traaap xtation maintained by the Kitdtas County Department of Public Works and adopted by reference provides a detailed description of these various modes. It describes: Rail service - available freight rail and potential passenger rail. Truck movements throughout the County. Public transportation options available — demand response services, shuttle bus services, and intercity services. Air transportation - provided at Howers Field Airport, CIe Blum Municipal Airport, DeVere Field, and Easton State Airfield. ■ Non Motorized systems — pedestrian and bicycle services and recreational paths. Transportation System Maintenance Preserving and maintaining the public's investment in transportation infrastructure is an important expenditure of public funds. KitWu County prioritises maintenance activities as follows: fust priority is for emergencies, immediate action is taken to repair damage and correct problems as soon as they are reported; second priority is for items that are scheduled on a yearly basis, including but not limited to: crack sealing, preleveling, sealcoating, and roadway striping; and the third priority is for preventive maintenance activities that are scheduled on a seven-year maintenance cycle to keep the pavement conditions above a level that would rr quim corrective maintenance or other major repairs. 4.3. Land Use, Environment and Economic Development Many of the decisions related to transportation have an effect on land uses, the environment and economic development. Different land uses have different transportation needs and impacts. Transportation improvement projects need to address the envirmmtental impacts of the proposed actions. Similarly, many economic development strategies include the need for transportation facilities. These areas aro all inter -related and their relationships need to be recognized. Land Use The final comprehensive plan will contain a land use element with a land use plan and policies, which will need to be consistent with the transportation elemert. In the event that the land uses proposed cannot be supported by the existing transportation system and there are no ideubfied means to fund the necessary improvements, there needs to be s mechanism in place to review both plans and either revise the land use playa or otherwise change the level of service standard or project priorities and finding in the transportation element, This needs to be an iterative process in which both plans are routinely reviewed for consistency and compatibility. Premtly, the tnursparWan-related assumptions used in the alternative draft land use plans have been developed as part of the SEPA process. Kitt'itas County December 2018 Comprehensive Plan Transpaftion Environment Transportation decisions are not, and should not be, exempt from environmental review. impacts to the natural and built environment need to be taken into consideration before any major transportation decisions are made. Most Iocal transportation improvement projects are subject to state and federal environmental regulations as well as any local environmental laws that apply. County road projects (CRPs) routinely follow SETA regulations unless they are specifically eumptod under WAC 197-11-305, 800 through 880. Some large transportation improvement projects are also subject to NEPA -- the National Environmerital Policy Act. Other environmental reviews are part of permitting for work over or adjacent to streams. Economic Development Transpor a on facilities we an important consideration to a business or industry making location decisions. The decision whether or not to locate in a particular jurisdiction can rest solely in the balance of access to transportation facilities. Businesses look at their need to get customers and supplies to their location with ease. industrial developments need access to transportation facilities for shipping and receiving. Many local jurisdictions have to balance their desires to attract new businesses and industries against the obligation to provide transportation services. 4.4. Level of Service 1 Concurrency Khtitas County measures level of service (LOS) for arterial roadways utilizing the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) LOS methodology. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCK method of measuring LOS is recognized as a national stmadard and is currently being utilized by other jurisdictions throughout the state and within Kittitas County including the Washug0on State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the City of Ellensburg. 4.5. Existing Deficiencies The adopted LOS methodology and threshold determinations are stated in Section 4.8 Goals, Policies, and Objectives, specifically Level of Service (LOS) and Concurrency GPO 4.25 through GPO 4.33. Twenty -Year Forecast As the population grows within the county, the number of registered vehicles and drivers well also Increase. Where those vehicles travel will depend, in large part, on where the drivers reside, shop and Werk. Determining the likely increames in traffic along transportation facilities is based on the land uses, which will be permitted and even encouraged in various parts of the county. The Long- Range ongRange Transportation Plan that is maintained by the Kittitas County Department of Public Works and adopted by reference indicates the twentyyear forecasted traffic growth and level of service impacts to the County's transportation system. Khtbs County December 2016 Comprahenaiva Plan Transportation Planned Improvements Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program The County's Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP} is reviewed, updated, and adapted every year. Washington State Law requires counties to develop six year transportation improvement programs as provided under RCW 36.81.121. In addition to state laws, federal laws also dictate transportation improvements. It is our objective to meet as many of the needs of the traveling public, county residents, visitors, and service providers, in order to provide a safe and efficient transportation system while recognizing the fiscal realities of funding for construction and maintenance ofthe transportation system. The Six -Year TIP is updated every year by the Department of Public Works and changes are made to rzfleet #ending secured or shifts in priorities. The Annual Construction Program, adopted with the county's budget, provides an accurate picture of the first year of the TIP. New Roads and Planned Extensions The Transportation Plan has a list of proposed new roads or extensions, which have been identified through various planning processes to date. 4.6. Financing Transportation Improvements Revenue Sources Revenue sources change annually and are projected and included in the Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program and in the Long -Range Transportation Plan as it is updated. Both of these documents are adopted by reference and should be reviewed for the latest information on tax revenues, grants, and loans available for transportation system improvements. Revenue sources far all programmed improvements are listed in the Transportation lmproventent Program and the Long -Range Transportation Plan to indicate that the plans are financially feasible and constrained. 4,7. Public Participation Discussions and decisions related to transportation are not made without active consultation with the public. A variety of forums are used to solicit quality input from a broad cross-section of interests. The Long -Range Transportation Plan has been developed through an intergovernmental coordination process involving all Kitdtas County jurisdictions and those agencies and individuals indicating interest in transportation issues including QUADCO Regional Transportation Planning Organization, Washington State Department of Tnmspw tadon, local area transportation providers, and local citizens. The draft plan has been posted an Kittitas County's website for review and comment by the public from October 2005 through October 2006. Open Houses will be scheduled for further public input in early November, 2006 and a KIttitas County December 2016 Compmhensive plan Transparbftn Public Hearing will be scheduled mid-November, 2006 with the County Commissioners for final public involvement in this update process. 4.8.

K!Wtm County December 2016 Comprehensive Plan 4.10 L Chapter 5. Capital Facilities Plan 5.1. Introduction Purpose of the CFP and CIP The purpose of the Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is to plan for adequate public facilities within the County's financial capability. The CFP provides the fiamework for this planning effort and adopts by reference a six -you list of proposed projects and financing pian called the KiWtas County's Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Projects proposed in the CIP are public facility improvements needed to shape and maintain our quality of life. All of the public facility impravemerxls identified in the CIP must be consistent with ft land use element of the Comprehensive Plan and scheduled to be in, place concurrently with development impacts to maintain or exceed adopted standards for levels of service. Kitthas County public facilities include County owned buildings, land, parks and roads. Other public facility plans that are not under Kittitss County ownership are also listed or included by reference, such as plans for wafer, sewer, fire, schools, and parks. A capital project may include a newly constructed facility, a renovated facility, a major repair, or reconstruction of damaged or deteriorating facilities. This plan does not cover routine maintenance. furniture, or equipment. Statutory Requirements The Growth Management Act (GMA), adopted by the Washington State Legislature, requires comprehensive planning to guide growth and development. The CFP is one of six mandatory Planning elements that GMA requires in each County's Comprehensive Plan (RCW 36.70A.070 (3)). The CFP must identify specific facilities, include a realistic financing plan, and adjust the plan if funding is inadequate. Washington Administrative Code (WAC 365-196-415) provides requirements and recommendations for the CFP element. KMftn County December 2016 Comprehensive Plan 5.1 Capital Facililin Relationship with other Documents Tie is a direct relationship between the CFP and the land use element of the Comprehensive Plan. The land use element determines where and at what density population and employment growth will be located. The CFP identifies the thresholds ofgrowth when new and expanded public facilities will be needed, and indicates the County's priority system for constructing the identified public facilities. Althougb some public facilities are provided by government agencies or private entities other than the County, the County is responsible to show that thm services are available. Identified improvements to public facilities that are owned or operated by Kittitas County shall also be included in the County's annual budget. Any identified public facility improvements that are not owned or operated by the County, but by independent districts or private organizations. should be included in the annual budgets and Capital Improvements Programs of the entities which provide those public facilities. State, local government, and district plans that are affected by proposed public facility improvements will be considered prior to inclusion of the improvements in the CIP. This includes considering a city's comprehensive plan when evaluating proposed improvements that affect that city's urban Growth Area. CFR Update Process Any updates to the CFP element of the Comprehensive Plan will be considered concurrently with other proposed amendments that are docketed for the annual Kittitas County's Comprehensive Plan amendment review. Kittitas County's Capital Improvement Program (CIP), adopted by refi ame, is a dynamic document that will be updated annually to reflect new cost information, funding information, project list changes, and existing facility updates. The annual updates to the CIP will be done prior to the annual budget process so that CEP projects can be included in the annual budget. 5.2. Capital Project Selection Procedures Levels of Service Standards The County's levels of service standards for public facilities are as follows; Table 52.1 Klttbs County level of Service Standards Facility Cate r Type I Standard for.bevel o Serwees t. Transportation Roads LOS C in rural areae and LOS D in federal urban 2. Parks and Recreation Regional parks 5 acres per 1,000 pop. 3. Solid Waste Dhgxml Solid Waste 4.0 lbs- per capita per day *'par eeplta" or "per 1,OM population" means population of the luriedkilon that provides the public facility, unless otherwise indicated. Kittitas County December 2016 Comprehensive Plan 5.2 Caplial FacHifitea Application of Levels of Service Standards The County and public facility provides will use the levels of service standards shown in Table 52.1 for identifying improvements needed to: • Address existing deficiencies. • Preserve existing capacity, • Provide for new development. • Enhance quality of life. • Meet otaher community needs not related to growth. The County will evaluate whether or not these levels of service standards are being met when updates to the Comprehensive Plan are performed according to the deadlines in RCW 36.70A.130(1)•1 when urban growth areas are reviewed according to RCW 36.70A. 13 0(3), and when major changes are made to the CFP. If these standards arse not being met and public facilities are inadequate, the County will consider one or more ofthe following strategies; • Reduce public facility demand. • Reduce level of service standards. • Increase revenue. i Reduce the cost of the needed public facilities. Reallocate or redirect population and employment growth to make better use of existing facilities. • Phase growth or adjust the timing of development if the lack of public facilities is a short term issue. • Revise countywide population forecasts within the allowable range. The County will also evaluate if proposed development activities would reduce the levels of service of public facilities below the adopted standards. if a proposal is expected to impact a transportation facility, lowering its levels of service below the standard, then preliminary development approval shall not be granted unless improvements or strategies are made concurrent with the development that will maintain the levels of service standards (see Section 5.7 Definitions for the definition of concurrency). All other types of public facilities with level of service standards listed above do not have the specific concurrency requirement that transportation facilitles haver but they do require the provision of adequate public facilities as a condition of project approval. Project Criteria Other Than Levels of Service Standards Public facility improvements that are not needed for maintaining levels of service standards can be programmed if they are: • Facility repairs. • Remodel. 0 Renovation. • Replacernent of obsolete or worn out structures. • ImWovements tbat do not reduce financing for other improvements needed to achieve or maintain the standards for levels of service. Kittitas County December 2016 Comprehensive Plan 5-3 COMMI FICHSGS Improvements that do not contradict, limit or substantially change the goals and policies of any element of this Comprehensive Plan. Public fatality improvements may also provide capacity in excess of what would be required to achieve or maintain levels of service standards (Le., the minimum capacity of capital project is larger than the capacity required to provide the level of service). Excess capacity is beneficial if It results in economies of scale making it less expensive than a comparable amount of capacity if acquired at a later date. However, these projects should be given a lower priority than projects needed to maintain levels of service standards. Analysis of Future Development The County will estimate the type and amount of public facilities needed to accommodate future growth by evaluating previously issued development permits and determining future growth patterns. Future development will be required to pay its fair share ofthe capital improvements needed to address the impact of such development and the portion of the cost of the replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities. The different methods of payment allowed for these capital improvements include: • Voluntary contributions for the benefit of any public facility. • SEPA mitigation payments. M Dedications of land. • Provision of public facilities. Future development will not be required to pay fees for needed public facilities to reduce or eliminate existing deficiencies. The growth forecasts, to be used for planning purposes and the specific growth targets for each UGA, are developed using the Kittitas County population projections established by the State of Washington Office of Financial Management (OFM). The OFM prepares higb, medium and low forecasts for each county, with the middle range representing the most likely scenario.

This review would occur as part of a local governments docket or Cornprehensive Wan review process. Siting Public Facilities '1 hm are types of public facilities that cannot be located in rural arses of the County, but must remain in the City or Urban Growth Arm (UGA). These include new municipal urban public facilities for residenfud development such as sewage collection and trwtrnerrt, urban street infrastructure, and storm water collection facilities. The County, may coordinate planning and development of public facilities in UGAs with municipalities and public facility providers by entering into intorlocairoint planning agreements, contracts, memorandums of understanding or joint ordinances. Capital facilities and utDities may be constructed and operated by outside public service providers on ntral properties if they are within the boundaries of a. Master Planned Resort (MPR), LA1MM, or Fully Contained Community which is approved pursuant to County Comprehensive Plan policies and development regulations. Electric and natural gas transmission and disc nImflon facilities may be sited throughout Kittitas County both inside and outside of municipal boundaries, UGAs, MPRs, L M M% and Fully Contained Communities. The County will coordinate with the Kittitas County Conference of Governments and/or municipalities within the County when siting regional and commruaity facilities. This coordination may include developing an inventory of essential facilities, determining a fair share allocation of essential facilities, determining needed facilities and the jurisdiction responsible for each facility, conducting public involvement strategies, and assuring protections for the environment; public health, and public safety. Improvements is Public Facilities Identified in Cather Plans Various plans have been prepared that identify potential capital projects that can be included in a future six-year plan. The County will consider these projects as funding becomes available or when it is determined that public facilities have inadequate levels of service. The following plans will be considered: Mtn i ouniy December 2016 Comprehensive Plan capiwFusiees Swiftwater Corridor Vision Plan. It was prepared by a citizen's advisory committee in 1997 to identify unique and special features within the State Route 10 corridor. This plan recommends strategies and capital improvements that are focused on economic development and tourism programs. Kittitas County Outdoor Recreation Inventory. It was completed dune 1, 2004 by the Recreation Advisory Committee to identify recreation adavitles and services. The recreation opportunities and facilities include parks, trails, river access, public lands access, campgrounds and picnic facilities. Economic Development Strategic Plan, prepared for the Kittitas CourAy Economic Group in July, 2009. It is a framework for investment decisions and providing guidance in growth for the County's economic future. Prioritizing Public Facility Project Prioritization of projects and programs can be difficult, so the County established the following general guidance in prioritizing public facility projects, from highest to lowest priorities: 1. Repair existing public facilities to achieve or maintain adopted level of service(s). 2. Construct new or expanded public facilities to achieve or maintain adopted level of service(s). 3. Repair existing public facilities or construct new public facilities to eliminate hazards. 4. Construct new or expanded public facilities to achieve or maintain adopted level of service(s) as forecasted during the next six years. 5. Repair existing public facilities or construct new public facilities to reduce the operating cost of providing a public service or facility, 6. Construct new facilities to provide excess capacity that will be needed beyond the next six -years. 7. All other facilities the County is obligated to complete that do not meet the criteria above. 3.3. Financing Funding Sources for Public Facility Projects Identifying funding sources for public facility projects is critical to the success ofthe Kittitas County's Capital Improvement Program (CIP). It requires coordination among Chanty Departments and a thorough understanding ofthe fiscal capacity of the County to finance these facilities. Public facility projects are often very expensive, requiring multi-year commitments of financial resources. It is important to understand that a CIP does not represent a financial commitment or guarantee that the projects will be implemented. County approval does not automatically authorize funding. It does approve the program in concept and provides validity to the planning process - In an adtempt to stretch money as far as possible, many different funding sources are considered. The financing of some projects relies on outside grant resources. If grants are not received the projects may be delayed, removed, or fnarsced with dedicated revenues, general revenues, excess surplus funds, or bond financing. The various methods of financing are as follows: Kittitas County Doo tuber 2016 Comprehensive Plan 5.6 caphal Fed1wes 1. County enterprise fiords have been established fuer certain County Departments such as the Solid waste Department. Euterpriae funds are financing from: Debt to be repaid by user fees and charges and/or connection or capacity fees for enterprise services. Current assets (i.e., reserves, equity or surpluses, and current revenue, including grants, loans, donations and interlocal agreements). A combination of debt and current assets, 2. Non- enterprise finds are financed from: • Current assets: (i.e., current revenue, fund equity and reserves) • Debt (see County's debt management policy) • Combination of current assets and debt. 71m C=* is guided by the following three principles in selecting a funding source for public facility improvements: 1. Egnfty: Whenever appropriate, the beneficiaries of a project or service will pay for it. For example, if a project is a general function of government that benefits the entire community, such as a school, police station, or library, the project will be paid for with general tax revenues or financed with general obligation bonds. If, however, the project benefits specific users, such as water and sewer facilities, the revenues will be derived through user fees or charges, targeted taxes, and assessments. 2. E' fecuwwv: In selecting a source or sources for financing projects, the County will select one or more that effectively funds the total cost of the project. For example, finding a capital project, or the debt service on a project, with a user fee that does not provide sufficient funds to pay for the project is not an effective means of finding the project. 3. EjFcknq: If greats or current revenues are not available to fund a project, the County will select a financing technique that provides for the lowest total cost consistent; with acceptable risk factors and principals of equity and effectiveness. Them methods currently consist of fixed-rate general obligation or revenue bonds issued by the County, special finding programs fimded by state or federal agencies, or special pool financing. When public facility improvements are located both in the City and Urban Growth Areas, the Coutty and City can jointly sponsor the formation of Local Improvement Districts, Road Improvement Districts, and other benefit areas for the construction or reconstruction of infimsaucture to a common standard. When Funding is Unavailable If revenues that require voter approval in a local referendum that has not been held or is held and is not successful, the CIP will be revised at the next annual amendment to adjust for the lack of such revenues, in any of the following ways: • Reduce the level of service for one or more public facilities; • Increase the use of other sour es of revenue; • Decrease the cost, and therefore the quality of some types of public facilities while retaining the quantity of the facilities that is inherent in the standard for level of service; • Decrease the demand for and subsequent use of public facilities; ■ A combination of the above alternatives. Kidits County December=6 Comprehensive Plan t:ap[W Fadlkles The County shall require all development permits that require public facility improvements to have secured financing for these improvements as a condition of final approval. Maintenance Financing The County Intends to set aside sufficient revenue to finance ongoing maintenance needs and to provide periodic replacement and renewal of public facilities. This is necessary to keep public facilities in good repair and to maximize their useful life. The County should not provide a public fi mility, or accept the provision of a public facility by adu m, if the County or other provider is unable to pay for the subsequent annual operating and maintenance costs of the facility. A Six -Year Plan The County shall provide, or arrange for others to provide, the public facility improvements planned to take place in the next six-year period, with projected beginning and completion dates, estimated costs, and proposed methods of financing. This information is detailed in Kinhas County's Capital improvement Program (CIP) and is considered the six-year plan. The six-year plan is reviewed and updated annually in conjunction with the annual budget process for corrections, updates, and modifications concerning costa, revenue sources, identified public facilities, and schedule. Each update to the six-year plan in the CIP is adopted by reference. 5.5. Existing Facility Inventory Kittitas County's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes an inverilory of the public facilities in Kittitas County. The C1P's existing public facility inventory is updated annually and each update is adopted by reference. The purpose of maintaining a current inventory of existing public facilities is to show what facilities are currently available to County residents, what condition they we in, and whether they have sufficient, capacity to address long-term community needs. S.G. Goals, Policies, and Objectives GPO 5.1 Application of Standards. The County shall establish standards for levels of service for public facilities. The levels of service shall be cooperatively defined by all segments of the public and private sector involved in providing a particular service. GPU 5.2 Determining Public Facility Needs. The County shall determine the quantity of capital improvements that is needed. GPO 5.3 Priorities. The relative priorities among capital improvements projects are as follows: Wttltas County December2016 Comprehensive Plan 3.8 CaplW Fadifts GPO 5.3A Priorities Among Types of Public Facilities. Legal restrictions on the use of many revenue sources limit the extent to which types of facilities compete for priority with other types of facilities because they do not compete for the same revenues. All capital improvements that are necessary for achieving and maintaining a standard for levels of service adopted in this Comprehensive Plan are included in the financially feasible schedule of capital improvements contained in this Capital Facilities Plan. The relative priorities among types of public facilities (i.e., roads, sanitary sewer, etc.) were established by adjusting the stmxkrds for levels of service and the available revenues until the resulting public facilities needs became financially feasible. This process is repeated with each update of the Capital Facilities Plan, thus allowing for changes in priorities among types of public facilities. GPO 5.3B Priorities of Capital Improvements Within a Type of Public Facility. Capital improvements within a type of public facility are to be evaluated on the following criteria and considered. in the order of priority listed below. The County shall establish the find' priority of all capital facility improvements using the following criteria as general guidelines. Any revenue source that cannot be used for a high priority facility shall be used beginning with the highest priority for which the revenue can legally be expended. a. Reconstruction, rehabilitation, remodeling, renovation, or replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities that contribute to achieving or maintaining standards for levels of service adopted in this Comprehensive Plan. b. New or expanded facilities that reduce or eliminate deficiencies in levels of service for existing demand. Expenditures in this priority category include equipment, furnishings, and other improvements necessary for the completion of a public facility (i.e., recreational facilities and park sites). c. New public facilities, and improvements to existing public facilities, that eliminate public hazards if such hazards were not otherwise eliminated by facility improvements prioritized according to Policies a at b, above. d. New or expanded facilities that provide the adopted levels of service for new developent and redevelopment during the next six fiscal years, as updated by the armual review of this Capital Facilities Plan. The County may acquire land or right- of-way in advance of the need to develop a facility for new development. The location of facilities constructed pursuant to this Policy shall conform to the Land Use Element, and specific project locations shall serve projected growth areas within the allowable land use categorim in the event that the plwmed capacity of public facilities is insufficient to serve all applicants far development permits, the capital improvements shall be scheduled to serve the following priority order: 1. Previously approved permits for redevelopment. 2. Previously approved permits for new development 3. New permits for redevelopment 4. New permits for new development. e. Improvements to existing facilities, and new facilities that significantly reduce the operating cost of providing a service or facility, or otherwise mitigate impacts of public facilities on future operating budgets. f. New facilities that exceed the adopted levels of service for new growth during the next six fiscal years by either. ■ providing excess public facility capacity that is needed by future growth beyond the next six fiscal years, or ■ providing higher quality public facilities than are contemplated in the County's normal design criteria for such facilities.

Debt financing shall not be used to provide more capacity than is needed within the schedule of capital improvements fru non -enterprise public facilities Mess one of the following conditions are met: 1. The excess capacity is an integral part of a capital improvement that is needed to achieve or maintain standards for levels of service (i.e., the minimum capacity of a capital project is larger than the capacity required to provide the level of service). 2. The excess capacity provides economics of scale making it less mmmrsive than a comparable amount of capacity if acquired at a later date. 3. The asset acquired is land that is environmentally sensitive, or designated by the County as necessary for conservation, or zecreation. 4. The excess capacity is part of a capital project financed by general obligation bonds approved by referendum. GPO 5.14 Operating and Maintenance Costs.

Utilities 6.1. Introduction The Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan utiElies element shall, at minimum, consist of the general location, proposed location, and capacity of all existing and proposed utilities, including but limited to, electrical lines, telecommunication lines and natural gas lines. Existing and updated maps of all utilities in Kittitas County are maintained by the County Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to meet the requirements of the Utilities Element as outlined in RCW 36.7OA.O7O. Glossary of Terms Utilities means the supply, treatment and distribution,, as appropriate, of domestic and irrigation water, sewage, storm water, natural gas, electricity, telephone, cable television, microwave transmissions and streets. Such utilities consist of both the service activity along with the physical facilities necessary for the utilities to be supplies. Utilities are supplied by a combination of general purpose local governments as well as private and community based organizations. Municipal Services -are those services in beeping with and/or required in incorporated cities and urban growth an.as such as, but not limited to, centralized sewage collection and treatment, public water systems, urban street infrastructure, power and storm water systems, emergency services, libraries, schools, and government. Regulatory Authority: The primacy regulatory agency for most utilities in Washington State is the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WU'TC ), a state agency. Thee VA= ensures that safe and reliable service is provided to customers at reasonable rates. The Commission regulates the rates and charges, services, facilities, and practices of most of Washington's investor-owned gas, electric and telecommunication utilities. As defined by the Kittitas County december 2016 Comprehensive Plan 6-1 WUTC, some utilities are considered a critical service, namely electricity and standard telephone, and must be provided "upon demand". In order to fulfill public service obligations, these utility providers must plan to emend or add to their facilities when needed. On the other Mend, natural gas is not considered a necessity, but rather a utility of convenience. All utilities regulated by the WUTC are prohibited from passing the cost of new construction onto the existing rate base. Federal agencies also play a role in regulating some of these utilities. For example, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates telecommunications. In addition, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC an independent commission with, the U.S. Department of Energy, sets rates and charges for the transportation and sale of natural gas, and for the transportation of oil by pipeline, for the transmission and sale of electricity, and the licensing of hydroelectric power projects. Local government, too, has a role in regulation for certain utilities, such as franchise agreements. However, the effort behind meeting Growth Management Act requirements is not primarily regulatory; rather it is to promote coordination and cooperation between jurisdictions and utility providers. Virtually all land uses require one or more of the utilities discussed in this Chaplax. Local land use decisions drive the need for new or expanded utility facilities. In other words, utilities follow growth. Expansion of the utility systems is a function of the demand for reliable service that people, their land uses, and activities place on the systerns_ Participation Kittitm County recognizes the vast array of utilities provided by various companies and government agencies. Utilities provided include electricity, natural gas, standard telephone, cellular telephone, cable, and irrigation purveyors.

Economic Development plays a key role in maintaining the quality of life in Kittitas County. A strong economy crates jobs and oppvrhmities for the citizens. Within Kittitas County there exist resource-based industries, recreation, industrial, and commercial businesses. Supporting such economic development and developing strategies to do so will assist in encouraging and retaining business and industry in Kittitas County. The pnrpase of this chapter is to establish the goals and policies for economic growth and vitality that will enhance the County's character and quality of life. Element organization The Economic Development Element cmisists of three main sections. The first section, "Economic Conditions and Needs" includes statistics, which support the County's economic goals and policies, The second section, "(hWs and Politica" presents a general set of comprehensive goals and policies to guide the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.

Kifti`Eae Coup December 2016 Comprehensive Plan 10.3 Emnomic Development Element Population growth in Kittitas County lagged behind the nate in Washington in the 1980's, but it has been above the state rate since 1990. Total covered employment in KAbtas County grew at an average rate of 2.S% per year during 1990 through 2003, slightly faster than population in the some period. Population and employment growth tend to grow at similar rates. Employment growing faster than population may indicate a decrease in unemployment, an increase in the labor force participation rate, or increased level of workers commuting from outside of Kittitas County. Population in Kittitas County is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 0.6% (low), 1.3% (intermediate), or 1.8% (high) over during 2005 to 2025. Employment in Kittitas County is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.4% over the ten years from 2002 to 2012. Employment in Kittitas Courrty may continue to grow slightly faster than population as it has since 1990, or it may grow slightly slower than population if the labor force participation rate declines due to an aging population. Given the range of growth rates in the State's population forecast for Kittitas County over the 2005 — 2025 period, this suggests employment growth at a rate of 0.5% to 2.0% per year over the next 20 years. The low end of this range, however, is unlikely to occur unless the US or Washington State experiences a severe economic recession. While this scenario is possible, it is unlikely and not a useful scenario for planning purposes. 10.3. Goals, Policies and Objectives Kittitas County has established the following goals and policies to guide future economic development. Tixese goals and policies were developed in response to existing economic conditions identified within the County. GPO 10.1 Be a county the supports the varied needs and demands of the community and surrounding area through the understanding and creation of a supportive and active environment for economic development in the community.

Under the guiding principle of "the use of public resources to stimulate private investmerd," the purpose of the plan is to help the Economic Development Group of Kittitas County and policy makers at all levels of government understand their competitive position and to coalesce around a vision for pmrnoting the region. By utilizing a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis approach, the plan identified and addressed strategic goals, policies and objectives for policy makers and administrative personnel to apply in decision making processes to advance and enhance the economic vitality of Kittitas County. The EDSP drew input from a broad cross section of citizens and interest groups, and has been formally endorsed by Kirdtas County, the City ofEllensburg, the City of Cie Elum, the City of Roslyn, the City of Kittitas, the Ellensburg Chamber of Commerce, and the CIe Elum Chamber of Commence. The Endings and recommendations outlined in the plan are designed to serve as a framework for making investment decisions, and for providing guidance in growth that is both realistic and sustainable, In addition the plan also provides a comprehensive depiction of the socio-economic and demographic status of the county and its relationship to other counties, both regionally and nationally. The 2009 version of the Economic Development Strategic Plan is adopted by refhrence into this comprehensive plan subject to the following limitations. The Economic Development Strategic Plan is adopted as a reference document to be used by Kittitas County as an aid in land use, capital facilities, and public policy discussions, and by members of the public wishing to propose project96 Pie want for projects, or prolmse agreements with landholders. The Economic Development Strategic Plan may be used as a part of the Kittitas County Capital Facilities plan for purposes of utilizing real estate excise tax (REET) proceeds for acquisition or expansion of recreational infrastructure. Non-compliance or inconsistency with the Economic Development Strategic Plan shall not be considered noncompliance or an inconsistency with the comprehensive plan or the GMA; nor may any noncompliance or inconsistency with the Economic Development Strategic Plan be a basis for appeal of any land use or public policy decision made by Kittitas County. The Economic Development Strategic Plan shall not be used as evidence of use of property in an action for prescriptive easement or adverse possession. 1CkHW County December 2016 Comprehensive Plan 10.6 Cle Elum Land Use Plan (2009) Land Use Plan (Adopted 2009) Table of Contents Introduction 2 Grow* Maaaagement Act Regalr Ots 2-3 Urban Gmv& v& Area Bauadary 34 Existing Development Pathwus 4 L Natural Eavlronment 4-5 R built Environment 5 Characteristics of Eydating Land Use 6 Table 1— Land Use Typo and Acreage 7 Table 2 — Urban Growth Ares and Sphere of Interest g Table 3 — Projected 10 -Year Service Needs 9 Table 4—BoUrrog Planning Area Laud Use Summary I0 Homkg Stock/ Retial Land Area Regairvuents 11 Land Use and Zoning Designatia®s M14 Comprehensive Pian Land Use Dedpadom 15 tnoompatR& Land ase, 1s Land Use and Zontag Compatibility Ma uft 16 TOIe 6 — Ofildal Cie El+nn Zouing Map 17 TaMe 7-A, — Comprdkensive Land Use Designation Map 1 of 2 IS Tabhe 7_11 — Coanprelendve Land Use Designdation Map 2 of 2 19 Table 9 — Sphere of Interest 24 Open space 21 AgWer Recharge 21--22 Wetlands and Flood Plalm 22 Eudmfeal and Cultural Preservation 22.23 Land Use Goals and Polleles 23.31 City of Cie Elum — Land Use Plan Introduction Cie Elum's development pattern is the result of its unique geography, nestled linearly in the Yakima River Corridor.and the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range. The Yakima River defines a rich and envirummentally sensitive river valley. The historic development activities of the Railroad, Coal Mines end Timber Harvesting, and the built environment including the interstate 90 interchanges and the Suncadia Master Planned Resort, are the predominant influences molding the City's present and future development. The evolving character of Cie Slum will depend in large part upon the type of community the citizens will support through its land use policies. The future land use pattern of Cie Munn will strive to reflect the small town qualities, rich cultural history and natural beauty that current residents expect and desire to preserve. This Land Use Plan Element of the Comprehensive Pian examines the character and quality of existing development in both the City limits and the un-inoorporated areas of the Urban Growth Area (UGA). It identifies trends and projects potential growth within recognized "opportudty areas" Then Lend Use Plan Element outlines the proposed general distribution and location of various uses of land within the planning area, which consists of the City of Cie Elum and the Potential Annexation Area, which is the area within Kittitas County that is Cie Elum's designated annexation area.. This element consists of two major components: (1) a map that illustrates the general location of land use deaigoations, and (2) goals and policies that guide future development In addition there are reviews of existing land use trends, including future development potential and a review of policy decisions, which together have laid the foundation for the goals and policies in this elemant. More important than the components of the element, however, is the purpose that the element serves. The Land Use Element will guide all decisions about where development takes place. It will also guide when 4kvelopment takes place, berm w land use policies detennine the scheduling of capital improvement expenditures. In addition, it will guide the character of the development patterns in Cie Elum. This Land Use Element is not only a critical part of this Comprehensive Plan, but it is a required component of the plats under the Growth Management Act. Growth Management Act Requirements When the State Legislature adopted the Growth Management Act (GMA), they found that "...a lack of common goals expressing the public's interest in the conservation and the wise use of our lands pose a threat to the environment, sustainable economic development, and the health, safety and high quality of life enjoyed by residents of this City of Cie Elum -- Land Use Plan 2 state. It is in the public interest that citizens, ca munities, local governments, and the private sector cooperate and coordinate with one another on comprehensive land use planning." (RCW 36.70A.010). This finding, which summarizes the intent of GMA, emphasizes the central role of this Land Use Element. The Act requires the Land Use Element to designate the general distribution, location, and extent of land for various uses, including resource lands, housing, commerce, industry, parks and open space and public facilities. This element considers all these land uses, with the exception of public facilities and parks and open space, which will be considered in detail in separate comprehensive plan elements. The Land Use Element shell consider critical areas, population densities, building densities, and estimates of fiiture population growth. It shall also provide for the protection of the duality and quantities of groundwater used for public water supplies, and consider and mitigate the impacts of storm water runoff. Most importantly, however, the GMA requires that other eleanenrts of the Comprehensive Plan relate back to the Land Use Memaent. For example the Act specifically requires both the Capital Facilities and Transportation Elements to be coordinated and consistent with the Land Use Element It also states that the entire Comprehensive Plan shall be Maternally consistent, and that all elements shall be consistent with the Land Use Map. Additionally, the GMA requires that planning efforts for regional growth centers, such as Urban CaUrs, be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Therefote, GMA places the Land Use Element in the central role of defining the direction of the Comprehensive Plan, and thereby defining the vision of the community. The focus of the Land Use Element are the Coals and Policies and the Land Use Map. Background and Analysis The City of Cle Elum and the Upper Kittitas County Region have experienced unprecedented growth over the past several years. This section analyzers the extent of existing land uses in the City, and outUnes the growth, which is expected to occur within the City within the next ten (10) to twenty (20) years. This analysis sets the stage for the level of growth and development, which this plana will accommodate. Urban Growth Area Boundary The GMA mandates that each county designate an Urbain Growth Area (UGA) within which urban growth is to be a noourW4 and outside of which urban growth annexations may not occur. The UGA must contain enough land to accommodate twenty (20) years of projected residential growth, as determmed for each county by the State Office of Financial Management The entire city limits of each city must be included in the UGA, and unincorporated areas also may be included. However, the GMA states that an urban growth area may include land outside of a city only if this land is "...already cltffiacterized by urban growth or is adjacent to territory already characterized by urban growth..." (RCW 36.70A. I 10). The Countywide Planning Policies (CWPP's) adopted by City of Cle Elum — Land Use Plata 3 Kittitas County include an urban growth boundary far Cie Elum and specify policy considerations for implementing urban growth areas. The City of Cle Elum has designated a City Planning Spire of Interest that specifically includes current identified UGA boundaries as well as lands identified in Table 8 [page 20]. This City Planning Sphere of Interest includes approximately 1,260 acres within the Cie: Elum UGA as depicted on Tables 7-A and 7-13 and Appendix "N'. The Delineation of this Sphere of Iatexrest does not mean that these unincorporated UGA areas will ultimately be annexed to the City of Cle Elum. Annexation is a matter that will be deterrnined by City Officials, the Public and appropriate government entities, based off of public interest and the capacity of Cie Elum to adequately provide urban services to these areas upon. annexation. Development occurring on lands within the Sphere of Interest have a definite impact on Cie Elum Public Services and moue importantly, its tu'anspartatian system. When development of lands is proposed within this designated area, Kittitas County must work with Cle Blum to ensure that conc urreney issues and impacts have been adequately addressed. It should be recognized that decisions made by neighboring jurisdictions affecting the City PIanning Sphem of Interest, or adjacent areas, will have a measured impact upon the City of Cie Blurn. Cle Elurn is keenly interested in future davelopments in these areas because of the potential demands upon Cie Blum services including; std, schools, parks, police protection, fire protection, sanitation, watershed, critical arras, and watershed. It is a goal of the City of Cle Elum to encourage land use, ft=sportatien, capital facility, and other service decisions within Cie Elum's UGA and City Planning Sphere of Interest be compatible with Cla Blum Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies and will not plane undue burden on Cle Elum's public service infrastructure. The City's UGA offers many opportunities to provide high quality City services to future residents and businesses. Over the twenty-year planning period, the City will entertain a variety of requests for annexation by property owners who value Cle Elum's services or recognize the need for municipal services in order to realize maximum efficiency of land use. The purpose of annexation goals and policies included in this plan is to establish parameters which facilitate the smooth transition from Kittitas County to Cie Elum upon the commencement of annexation. Annexation of property within the UGA should benefit the City, its residents, and property owners. The City benefits by its increased ability to control new development with City standards, to extend its boundary in a logical manner, to expand its economic tax base, to provide opportunities for new residwtial development, and to gain m"mues from areas that aiready enjoy City amernities but do not currently pay taxes or fru to the. City. Specific mutexation goals and polices [Located in Land Use Element Goals and Policies on pages 23-29] seely to maximize timing and intent of annexations. The policies seek to guide annexation of appropriate lands at appropriate times and provide; Kittitas County with Cle Elum's methodology for such Existing Development Pattem City of Cle Elurn — Land Use Plan 4 Through an examination of its existing development patterns, a community can both glean a sense of its past and also gain valuable insight into its potential future. The City of Cle Elum has a historical development pattern based on coal minim the railroad and timber harvesting. This rich history of early reliance on natural resources and freight movement is another guide to defining the City's fiiture_ Incorporating Cle Elum's distinct identity and rich heritage are important to its preset and future residents. I. Natural Environinent The natural setting of Cle Elum within the Yakima River Valley affords good opportunities for residential living, supportive services and future sub -regional employment centers. At the same time development constraints such as watshed, rivers, streams, floodplains and floodways, wetlands and steep slopes shape development of the City into key areas. The City of Cle Elum is set between the forested Cle Elum Ridge and the Yakima River, approximately thirty (30) miles east of Snoqualmie Pass, and twenty- five (25) miles west of Ellensburg. The vistas and scenic views of the surrounding ridges and mountains provide a unique setting and identity for the community. They also repra mt a natural resmirce which is now subject to intense residential development pressure. The location of the vest majority of Cle Elum's available industrial land places them squarely in conflict with the natural environment. Cle Elum was founded as a railroad and shining town, consequently all original platting and development was located in a close and linear proximity to the railroad mainline. The railroad parallels the Yalama River which is prone to flooding. This severely limits or even negates the use of Cle Elum's current industrial land use inventory because of FEMA floodway and floodplain designations. These vacant industrial lands also are key natural resouroe areas for enhancing water quality, providing important fish and wildlife habitat, and serve as water retention and flood storage areas. Cle Elum is actively working to re -locate industrial lands to a more suitable corridor, III. Built Uviron.msmt The Growth Management Act requires the preparation of a Land Use Element that identifies the existing general distribution and location of various land uses, and the approximate acreage and range of density of existing land uses_ Historically, Cle Blum developed in a very linear pattern north of the Northern Pacific Railroad (now the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad) and the Yakima River. Tire original downtown area (now referred to as "Old Town") grew around the intersection of First Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, in close proximity to the original Railroad Depot and Cie Elum Hotel. Residential development was located between Old Town and the base of Cie Elum Ridge and east and west of downtown, as well as in one twelve block area south of the Yakima River adjacent to the Town of South Cle Elum. City of Cle Elim — Land Use Plan 5 In 1918, a major fire destroyed most of the original downtown. When rebuilt, the downtown was oriented in an east -west direction along an approximate five -block area of Firm Strect, between Oakes Avenue and Peoh Avenue. First Street, paralleling the Railroad, then became the major commercial Strom. Over time, as ties to the Northern Pacific Railroad weakened and the importance of the automobile increased, First Street/SR903 became the major highway through town. Commercial (and some industrial) development spread, in strip fashion, along the full length of First Street. *Mis strip development consists of both older resYdential uses converted to commercial use and new construction. Construction of lnta state 90 with its associated inteadwnges at each and of the City and partial interchange at Oakes Street reinforced the existing linear developrr►ent pattern. Highway oriented commercial uses then also developed around the interchanges at each end of the city. hxhntrially zoned land which is mostly vacant, odes the area between the RaihuW and Intestate 90; however development is constrained by limited access, lack of utilities and its location in a floodplain. Most of this area is not suitable far building due to flooding. The older areas of Cle Elum are platted in a traditimW grid pattern, with lots generally fix"Ifing the t -west streets. Most commercial lots are 25 -fed in width x 120 -feet in length, and most residential lots, 50-€eet a 1204et. Tan to twenty -foot wide alleys bisect the blocks in an cast west direction. Properties at the east and west ends of the City were subdivided later and included a mix of lot sizes with a less rigidly developed stmt pattern. Streets within the original downtown are generously wide - First Street, Oakes Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, Harris Avenue, and Ballitt Avenue have 100 -foot rights - way. Second Avenue, Billings Street, Wright Avenue, and Peoh Avenue have 80-1oot right -way. Many of the existing, older commercial and residential structures show signs of age and "historically inappropriate" tecbmques and materials have been widely used in mointenanae and repair. Revitalizing the City's character and oharm will require special attention to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of these existing structures in the CBD. To tbat foci the City is reluctant to zone additional lands within close proximity to its Historic CBD "commercial". This Comprehensive Plans Land Use Analysis demonstrates that apple opportunity exists within the CBD for developmeatIm-development. A challenge of paramount importance to the City is to integrate the pr esauures of new development with our historic commercial and residential core. Cbasracteiriistaes of Existing Land Uses/Land Use Inventory The Growth Management Act requires the preparation of a Land Use Element that identifies the existing general distribution and location ofvarious land uses, and the approximate acreage and density of existing land uses. The inventM of existing land Uses can be used to gauge the proportion of total land area that the city may need to devote to specific uses in the fixhrre. The existing Proportions and distribution of had uses may be adjusted for shifts in the desires and needs of the community, or to accommodate projected future needs. Table 1 below provides the City of Cie Elurn -- Land Use Plan 6 approximate acreage of land uses within the City of Cie Blum. The City of Cle Elum has an area of 2,321.3 acres. Table 2 below provides the approximate acreage of land uses within the Cie Elum UGA. The Cle Blum UGA has an area of 1,260 acres. Table 3 forecasts the City's land use and service needs for the twenty --year planning period. Table 4 forecasts the Cie Elum Bullfrog Annexation Area planned uses and capacity. These tables are the key to understanding Cle Blum's future land needs.

Housing Stock Requirements/ Residential Land Area Requirements The popWation of the City of Cie Ehmn is projected to grow by 8,259 people over the twenty-year planning period. According to the 2040 United States Census, the average household size in Cle Slum was 2.22 people, compared to a countywide average of 2,33 per household. The 2000 United States Census found 1,775 people in Cie Elurn living in 956 housing units. Much of the housing stock it located adjacent to the downtown commercial core or parallel to it along the distinct grid pattern of streets that derive their sigpfflent connection tions to First Street. Cie Elum's existing average housing density can be deterna►ined by dividing the exiting awnber ofhousing units by the acreage that supports housing units 956 Dwelling Units / 522.91 Acres =1.82 units per acre In order to calculate the residential lard area required to aeconunodate Cle El='s future population growth [forecasted] we must account for existing permitted land use densities and the population allocation 8,259 additional people over the 20 -year planning period — 413 people per year + 2.33 people per household =177 dwelling unfits per year 1.77 dwelling units x 20 years = 3,540 additional dwelling units needed by 2025 Table 4 [page 10] examines the number of dwelling units anticipated to be created in the Suncadia-Bullfirog inoorporated area. The Development Agreement defines this area to have no more than 1,384 dwelling units. The: laud to support these uses has already been dedicated. This means 2,156 additional dwelling units, and land do locate then upon, are needed by 2025. At present, residential densities may average as many a 5 dwelling units per acre. So it can be inferred that: 3,540 dwelling units needed to accommodate 2025 population projection, 1,M4 dwelling units allocated for SuneadiaBullfrog Property 2,1.56 dwelling units remain needed Current practical density of 5 dwelling units per acre 5 dwelling units per acre + 2,156 acres City of Cle Elum — Land Use Plan 11 -431.20 additional acres required to be added to existing incorporated City Limits for projected reddleaW development. Land Use and ZonkX Designations Critical to the wary the City will develop over the rxW twenty yews is bow the City classifies uses of land within its incorporated boundary and its growth areas. Traditionally, city's classify residential land uses by density characteristics, i.e., number of dwelling units to the acne. In order to comply with GMA the cities zoning has attempted to achieve human scaled development, efficiiad use of laud that discourages urban sprawl and to encourage cornpatitrle land uses. Additionally the City recogrAzes the need to offer a greater variety of housing options for City residents, promote affordability and develop a greater sum of local community while ung the adsting small town character that drew people to Cie Elam in the first place, In this light, .new architectural and landscape design guidelines should be dented as development standards to further the goals of Ws plan. In the area of commercial and industrial land uses, priority should be given for the creation of new development regulations that help define jab goals which maximize the number of jobs per acre, and environmental goats, which prefer environmentally compatible development. In the following sanctions a general description of the City of Cie Burn's zoning code classifications we presented as part of the discussion of each of the land use designations. Toning provides the necessary direction to fulfill the City's vision for greater choice and expanded opportunity for residents, busirmses and industries. Zoning will also help Cie Ellam efficiently and responsibly meet its population, employment, tram portation and other targets as mandated by City Goals, Countywidc Planning Policies and tho Growth Management Act. The City of Cie Elum is divided into the zoning districts as fellows. District Name Abbreviaathm Residential ly District R Residential, Multi -Family District RM Old Town Commercial District OTC Entry Commercial District EC General Commercial District GC Business Park District BP industrial District 1 Public Reserve District P Planned Mixed Use District PMU L Residential, Slagle-F'y District -R The purpose and intent of the Residential District [R] is to provide for and protect areas for single-family neighborhood homesite development which are designed to meet City of Cle Elurn — Land Use Plan 12 contemporary building and living standards, including the provision of municipal water and sewerage systems. The minimum lot size is 5,000 square feet for single family residences and 7,000 square feet for duplexes, however under limited circumstances, accessory dwelling torts are permitted. Development is encouraged to occur in =Wuence with traditional settlement patterns. Neighborhood connectivity for both automobiles and multi -anodal transportation is encouraged. Isolation of neighborhoods, including the pervasive use of curvilinear streets, terminating vistas, cul-de-sacs and dead ends does not serve to promote Cie Eium's goals and policies for the Residential district. 11. Muni-Fomtily, Residential Diste3ct RM The purpose and Went of the Multi -Family Residential District [RM] is to provide for and protect higher density urban residential areas Where a mixture of multi -family development may occur. Multi-finnnily residences may include duplexes, triplexes, quad- plems, townnhornes, zein -lot line, unit -lot line or aparbneznt complexes. By permitting a range of densities and multi-fnntily development types, the City will be able to achieve a greater variety of available housing for fits residents, promote affordability, and Marin existing single family neighborhood character. Cie Elum is working toward solid strategies for afFordable housing options within the RM District. 111. Old Town Commercial Diddet-GTC Tithe purpose and intent of the Old Town Commercial District [OTC] is to create an active, vibrant, intens pedestrian -orientated retail core which reflects the historic character of the City and which is a nervus for civic and community functions. Existing Historic buildings should be preserved and serve as the benchmark for now construction and infill development in the historic City Core. Additionally, this district is well suited for traditional mixed-use development (i.e. dwelling units on the upper floors of buildings) which promotes patmitnw to local businesses and farther diversifies housing options. Design review standards should be established that pay special attention to signs, view shed protection, ambient lighting and landscapto& IV. Entry Commercial District, -EC The purpose and intent of the Entity Commercial District [EC] is to cue a unified design of allowed commercial uses at f veway interchange area of the City. Those areas are intended to serve the traveling public, as well as lard scale commemial activities. Objectives for the district relate to a hizh stated of visual quality, maintenance of human scale development, consistent arclutectuml style, increasing multi modal circulation, creating entrance areas or "City Gateways", and providing reasonable buffers to Interstate -90. Desiga review studards should be established that pay special attention to signs, view sized protection, ambient lighting and landscaping. V. General Commercial District -GC City of Cle Elum -- Land Use flan 13 The purpose and intent of the General Commercial District [W] is to provide for a broad range of balanced and mixed commercial uses which serve the community and to establish standards that assure that new uses are compatible with and enhance existing commercial uses and commercial areas. VI. Business Park District —BP The purpose and Went of the Business Park District [BP] is to provide areas for light manufacturing, wholesale trade, warehousing, finance, business and professional smices, research and related activities enclosed within buildings. Typically, retail sates shall not occur within the Business Pst District. Design review standards should be established that pay special attention to signs, view shed protection, ambient lighting, landscaping, building design and modulation. The Business Park District most likely includes a significant area of the City where future employment growth will occur. VILL Industrial District I The purpose and intern of the industrial District [1] is to provide for and protect areas when manufacturing and processing plants can thrive with their greater land use needs. These areas should be situated so that businesses creating noise, smoke, and dust would not conflict with neighboring landowners. Industrial sites should be located where they can be most aesOwtically pleasing and environmentally mitigated. Traffic flow patterns and access to regional freight mobility corridors should be considered. VIII. Public Reserve District P The purpose and intent of the Public Reserve [P] is to provide for and probmA areas for government and civic functions. Such uses include parks, goverment buildings, hospitals, educational institutions, libraries and museums, recreational uses and schools. VIUL Planned Mixed Use DistrietPMU The Planned Mixed Use District [PW was established to assure that large new development creates a complete and interdependent Cle Mum community that contains a broad and balanced mix of land uses duct provides for most of the daily creeds of its residents and visitors including, recreation, employment, housing [affordable and market rate] and education Development is by imaginative site planning in a compatible mixture of land uses that will encourage multi -modal transportation, and encourage building design to retain the traditional rural, small town, mountain character of Cle Elum. The PMU is intended to elevate the OTIC [historic downtown] as the primary retail and activity nexus for Ole Elum.

Reducing and/or mitigating compatibility between land uses is Amdameal to sound land use planning. To improve compatibility the following are proposed: 1. teduciagfm it t®Q_im between industrial and wam rdaluses. The railroad shvet corridor is proposed to be re -zoned to Old Town Commercial. Ibis proposed re -zone is the only remaining logical expansion of the OTC and will create a land use buffer between adjoining industrial uses, which are on the south side (on average 150') south of the BNSF Mainline Right of Way. Additionally, future industrial zoned lands are proposed to be located away from the I-90 view shat Mountains to Sound Greenway corridor. 2. Reducins/mit atlas imgac s between residential_an ! commercial. As the First Stred Commercial Corridor has developed, additional commercial pressure forced cgmnion of commadd zoning within 1 block [north and south] of First Street. These adjunct commercial areas often are located immediately adjacent to existing residential uses, Further expansion of commnercial zoning along areas adjacent to First Street (or in areas east or west of existing comarer+oial boundaries on First Street) should be discouraged unless compatibility can be demonstrated and impacts mitigated for. 3. Redudn¢lmitieating impacts between residential _pees of vy vin intensity. Sensitivity must be exercised when re -zoning Residential [R] lands to higher City of Cle Elam — Land Use Plan 15 residential densities.

These corridors shall include lands that are useful for remation, wildlife habitat, trails, and the cxnmection of critical areas. Open space corridors provide important linkages of wildlife habitat as well as serving to knit the community tighter through a system of trails. Currently within the city limits infonnal open space exists as trails throughout residential neighborhoods, such as the Pacific Railroad right-of-way, the ridge to the north of Cle Elum, and the Yakima Rivcr plain. Additionally, formal open space exists as the Coal Mines Trail that links Cle Elum and Roslyn, The Progress Path that extends from Ranger Station Road to the Cle Elum Roslyn Schools, and the Hanson Ponds Trail. Cle Elum plans to provide a designated open space corridor, through the City, that would link the Coal Mines Trail with the John Wayne Trail. The City of Cle Blum would like to we additional open space corridors along the Yakima River and its associated floodplain. Lands presently zoned Industrial (Along the River) would be rezoned to a newly created .zone, "River Front Park". This land is currently forested land intermixed with residential structures. It is primarily floodway and floodplain and is therefore unsuitable for development as currently zoned Industrial. As "River Front Park District" the property would be preserved as important wildlife habitat, riparian habitat, anadromous fish habitat and for parka and trail linkages. Above and beyond this new zoning district, Cle Elum will explore the use of consawation easements, further open space acquisition and dedication, and a change of the zoning code to require a minimum of 10-ppment of new developments to be dedicated to open Space. Aquifer Recharge As precipitation reaches the earth it does several things. It becomes part of the snow pack entering into lakes, streams and rivers or wetlands, it seeps into the soil to be taken up by plant roots, or seeps into the ground and becomes groundwater. As groundwater moves through the ground it may discharge to surface water features, such as lakes, sheams, or rivers, which will in turn recharge the groundwater. The water that remains in the ground will maks up the aquifer. Aquifers discharge water naturally through springs and seeps, streams, lakes and wetlands. As aquifers discharge they are in -turn recharged. Recharge occurs primarily as a result of the infiltration of rainfall and secondly by the movement of water from adjacent aquifers or water bodies. The rate and quantity of water entering the ground duds on several factors. Natural factors include amount ofprecipitation, soil type and conditions, vegetation, and topography. A.quifen can also be identified by contamination City of Cle Elurn -- Land Use Plan 22 A hazardous waste spill, or other human contamination, can have a serious impact on an aquifer, possibly rendering it unusable for years. The primary water sources for the City of Cle Elum [as well as South Cle Elan and Suncedia) are the Yakima and Cle Elum Rivers. lntakes are located below Lake Cle Elven new the Bullfrog Road Bridge on the Cle Elum River, and on the Yakima River near the intersection of South Cie Elum Way and the river. Shallow groundwater in Cie Elum area renders the Yakima River intake susceptible to contmnination due to the relatively high permeability of the Alluvium sail layer and a generally shallow depth to groundwater. The Cie Elum River intake is susceptible to contamination resulting from the increased development pressure for "lakefront" lots in the rural county. The predominant majority of the homes permitted by Kittitas County are on individual septic systems in close proximity to the ordinary high water mark of the lake. The City has requested that Kittitas County establish land use intensity and proximity Imitations to protect critical municipal water intake supplies. Best management practices along with hazardous material plans, appropriate land use zoning and density, and the analysis of future ft%mcts should be considered by the county to protect aquifers and municipal water sources. The protection ofaquifcr recharge areas and municipal intakes is modate d within the City if Cle; Elurn under Ordinance No. 1039, Section 18.01.120- 140, the 2004 Eastern Washington Stotmwater Management Manual, Best Management Practices, and SEPA. Wetlands and Floodplain Wetlands are transitional areas between upland and aquatic esnvirownents where water is pment long enough to form distinct soils where specialized plant commwrities can grow. Wetlands include marshy areas along shorelines, and inland swamps. Wetlands are typified by three physical characteristics; Hydric soils, hydrology, and hydrophilic plants. The National Wetlands Inventory (NW'i) map prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service indicated that Cie Elum has a number of wetlands. Wetlands will be defined using RCW 36.70A.030(20) and delineated using the Washington State Department of Ecology Westland Delineation Manual pursuant to RCW 36.70A.175. Cie Elum has several known areas designated by FEMA as Floodplain or Floodway. Floodplains and floodways are areas recognized to have the; greatest risk of damage to property and to the loss of human ilii. State law prohibits permanent strucum from being constructed in the Floodway or to have zem rise (no displacement of floodwaters). Only seasonal uses oz water dependent structures (such as bridges) should be allowed to be constructed in these areas. The protection of wetlands and floodplains occurs through the City's Development Regulatlous for critical areas [Ordinance No. 1039, Section 18.01.290-300; and 18.01.430-500; respectively], and SEPA. Historical and Cultural Preservation City of Cle Elum — Land Use Plan 23 One of the Goals of this Comprehensive Plan is to promote historic and cultural preservation within the City. The City of Cie Elum Historic Preservation Commission was established in 2006, aft Cie Elum officially received Certified Loral Government Status from. The National Park SaMce and the Washington State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. Preservation of Cie Elum's history and heritage helps Cie Elum maintain its unique aesthetic and cultural diversity and lids the community of tomorrow with its fin Wations frim the past. In order to facilitate the City's continued interest in preserving its Historic Old Town Core, the City will support the development of a process [a Local Historic District aadlor Register] that prioritizes and protects our historic ail cultural resources. To additionally fin Cher this pal the City implemented its Historic Preservation Ordinance in 2006. The City should work with representatives of the Mountains to Sound Greenway, the Cle F.lum Downtown Amaciation, Historical Society, Hentage: Club and Coal Mines and Iron Horse Trails to create a network of buffers and interpretative signage within both informs and celebrates local history. Land Use Element Goals and Policies The goals and policies of the Land Use Element provide the guidelines and direction for aaoommodating redevelopment and new development within Cie Elurn over the next twenty years. They are intended to l aknce the community's desire to maintain the unique sense of place that is Cle Elum with the desire for sustained and balanced economic and residential vitality. The goals and policies also provide direction for future City directed activities including planning studies and other implementation measures. Goals and Policies prove useful when new ideas emerge in response to issues whim were not anticipated or did not exist during the comprehensive planning process. During those times the community can consider the intent of the plan as outlined in the goal s and policy statements to facilitate discussion towards readying solutions which provide the best interpretation of the plan element; The goals and policies identified in this plan are derived largely from the Corrimunity Visioning Meatings guided by City Staff end The City Planning Codon, the 2000 Draft Comprehensive Plan Update and fiern gleaming information from other, jurisdictions planning under GMA. The goals and policy statements contoured within this element are guided by two principal tbemes: first, the desire of the community to maintain and ecce its rural character, cultural heritage, stunning natural beauty and its human-scaled small town development; second, the impetus of its residents to create an economically sustainable community fiat, while striving to mea the challenges of the future, respects the contributions and foundations of the past. The Growth Management Act specifies a number of pianniing'goals for the comprehensive planning process. Examples of these goals that relate to Cie Elum's planning effort include: reducing sprawl, encouraging W%rdabie housing, encouraging open space and recreation, protection of do natural environment and historical resources, City of Cie Elum — Land Use Plan 24 and consistency of this Land Use Element with other elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Finally, the goals and policies are intended to provide guidance to elected officials, staff and the general public as to the disposition of land useswithin the City and potential annexation areas. They provide the framework for decision making and admowledge arm and issues beyond the City's jurisdiction or immediate control. This element recognizes that the City is part of a regional unit [oflocal, county and state governments] that must actively participate and plan together to ensure the intent of the Growth Management Act is met.

This plan differs from past Capital Improvement Plans since it identifies and establishes level of service standards for the city's capital facilities. This meamrernent will be a component of the city's concurrency management systan. A level of service standard or LOS is a measurement of service to the public. It can be either a technical equation or an aesthetic sole of thumb whirls guides capital expenditures. Concurrency ensures that the provision of urban public services will be present or fiwAing is in place for capital facilities at the time of development completion or within six years. This attire plan is tied to specific funding to assure that this plan is ndthiea a "wish list" nor a "think for today" plan on capital expenditures. In total, a Capital Facilities Plan is a good management technique to assure long range fiscal planning. issues and Coad Capital Project GuldeWies and Criteria JU City of Cie Slum has traditionally been banded by real estate taxM sales tax :revenue, and services feess for the utilities provided by the city. In addition, the city has shade a conunitment to conserve funds when possible to assist in the offset of costs for capital expenditure by increasing service fees. This approach enables the city to spread costs in the long term for anticipated public service irnpWvemeatL The city defines a capital expenditure as greater than $7,500.00 for an item with a life span of more than five years. 'ibis definition includes fleet replacetent, street improvements, and su uchird improvements while not encompassing purchases such as computers, office supplies, or small equipment as capital expenditures under growth management Level of Service Stmadards Eads section of the Capital Facilities Pian will establish a Level of Service. A Level of Service is the standard by which a decision to expend capital will depend. For example: will not be dependent upon existing Cie Elam water rights, but rather will provide their awn water rights as development occurs. Water S m Requiremats pBd Level 2L Service Water systems must be able to reliably and economically supply water that meets state standards for drinking water quality in sufficient quantities and at adequate pmmaures to meet existing and projected demands within the planriing period. Performance and design criteria upon which the system analysis are derived from the following sources: Q State board of Health Drinking Water Regulations (WAC 246-290); * Water System Coordination Act Fire Flow Regulations (WAC 248-57); * Sizing Guidelines far Public Water Supplies; Planning Handbook: A Guide for preparing Water Systern Plans; n Recommended Standards for Water Works, Policies for the Review and Approval of Plans and Sperm$cations for Public Water Supplies, A Report of the committee of the Creat Lakes -- Upper Mississippi Rive` Board of State Public Health and Environmental Managers; o Insurance Services Office Guide for Determination of Required Fire Flow; • Public Law 93-523, Safe Drinking Water Act; and o Public Law 99-339, Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986. Sanhary Sewer System The city has completed its revised plan fcw the Sanitary Sewer System and operates a new sewer treatment facility located on Owens Road. This Sewer Comprehensive Plan serves as a complete inventory of existing facilities and seavieea. These projections were prepared by URS as conm4ting engineers for the City of Cle Elum. Included are estimates on service arm, populations, and flows. At current projections, the City of Cle Elum, has in place capacity to treat sewerage deeds through the year 2020.

Public Buildings City Hall The City Administrator, Public Works Director, Planner, Clerk, Treasurer, Building Inspector and Plans Examiner, Utility Clerk and Mayor's offices are housed in a city owned facility located at the intersection of First Street and Oakes Avenue. City Hall currently has approximately 3,282.75 Square Feet of working space in the entire building providing the staff support necessary to run these city departments. However, as growth continues to oc= in the City of Cie Slum, a new City Hall should be built. Most likely, a bond issue would be sought to fiord the expected cast of new building at approximately ($5M) five million dollars.

This process has included several public formas, gathering numerous public comments and overwhelming support from the community, downtown businesses, and downtown building owners, as well as the Washington State Department of Tlansportation, Puget Sound Energy, the Chamber of Commence, and County Commissioner Laura Osiadacz. The Commission participated in the June 6* Council/Commission Study Session event where an informative presentation by HLA, HBB, and City Staff retuned in constructive discussion of conceptual plan details. During our regularly scheduled meeting on June 20ei, a large audience attended with requests to provide comment, which included a few concerns we heel will be addressed during the Preliminary Engineering Design Phase of the Downtown Revitalization proms. The design phase would include details such as driveways and individual block configurations, among many other considerations, and would work with building and business owners to accommodate where passible. The ctuu rot recommendation is the adoption of a conceptual plan that will guide the specific design of the core downtown area which the Commission feels will be economically revitalized as a resWt, and which will lead to s safer walkable downtown to be enjoyed by our community and visitors well into the future. In light of this thorough process and information presented to the community, the Commission, and the Council it is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the Council adopt the Downtown Revitalization Plan Preferred Alternative as presented by directing the Mayor to sign Resolution 2017.011, Respectfully, Keary' Clark Planning Commission Chair (D z Z a Z V J O CL U 3: w 0 Q zLn� oUl � o� 0 W ccW J W wCCa w J V I m .� 0 Ur.4 r ,� u N V Waj N lk 0 N 4 L (D z Z z 45 CL z 0 P - z 3: 0 0 Tt -j D -u -i z LJ :0 0 LLJ U rl- 7-4 0 LU z 0 N 4 L (D z Z z 45 CL z 0 P - z 3: 0 0 Tt -j D -u -i z LJ :0 0 LLJ U Ln ._ U cu U Ln Q) V Q L. bl) c .ice^ i ,i1 H 0 Ln 0 0 LL - s< 0 CL tx 4'I Q k U L2 ti s 0 •CA c ._ o E ._ E C° 0 u E •� E 0 cc u a cc 0 CL Q V u z z z Q.. z z 3:Q J � wa w u U u •1 a t� n n n 0 0 ry O MD z z z Q.. z z 3:Q J � wa w u U u •1 a t� Qj a L +- QJ QJ C C: -ra U V � ry N LU 0 z z z CL z 3� 0 z 3�a 0 J_ U J L.LJ O LU U J UV V i W A� cu C E O � J U a4 �O' �4a--'Ln■ ry N LU 0 z z z CL z 3� 0 z 3�a 0 J_ U J L.LJ O LU U J UV s Rca ul CL as M 0 m �o r 31 w Z C un W Im 0 z z z :5 CL z z 3: 0 LU LLI U -1 �: ecu CL �J ryoo 4-J C CZLv � v .rm c►Wy - E� E .� 0 u 4--i a c O u � L E a V c N t�422 -7 v J CL E I �: .�y V z z z f5 CL z z 3�0 a J U W o W V U I " am r► 1 0 z z z z 3: 0Z 3:0 U L.L I L.LJ U J � f— U -1--i Ln Z V) 0I o ac C cz .}--J (�.)
