AGENDA STAFF REPORT
AGENDA DATE: September 17, 2019
ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of the Vantage Bay PUD Rezone Final Development Plan (RZ-06-00025)
BACKGROUND: The original Vantage Bay Rezone and Preliminary Plat were approved on December 5th,
2006 through authorizing ordinance number 2006-60. The rezone changed the project
zone from Forest and Range to PUD. The original project proposed two phases of
development with phase one including a total of 315 lots on approximately 58.2 acres,
and phase two including 17.4 acres reserved for future development. The current revised
proposal reduces the number of residential lots to 144, and adds a clubhouse to be
developed as phase 1; and adds a 40 unit hotel, restaurant, winery, and vineyard to be
developed as phase 2. All of the current proposed uses were contemplated as potential
uses during preliminary approval. The project site is located on the east end of the
county, directly south of the Vantage bridge, in Section 20, Township 17 North, Range
23, WM, Kittitas County, WA.
The Final Development Plan was submitted on September 22, 2017. The project went
through multiple rounds of staff review and was placed on hold in 2018 until shoreline
permitting could be completed. This concluded in July of 2019 under file number SD-18-
00002.
According to Kittitas County Code (KCC) 17.36.040, following approval of the
preliminary development plan by the county, the developer (owner) shall submit a final
development plan for approval by the Board. The final development plan submittal shall
be consistent with the process as outlined for final plat development in KCC Chapter
16.20, which specifies that the Board shall consider the plan at a public meeting (KCC
16.20.080).
According to KCC 17.36.045(2), the Board shall approve final development plans for the
PUD, provided the conditions imposed on the preliminary PUD approval have been
satisfied. Staff has reviewed the final development plan, and finds that the conditions
imposed by ordinance number 2006-60 have either been met or are on-going conditions
to be met prior to final plat.
INTERACTION: Pursuant to KCC 17.36, the final development plan has been reviewed by Kittitas County
Community Development Services for compliance with KCC 17.36 (at the time of
project preliminary approval) and Resolution 94-12
RECOMMENDATION: Approve final development plan and direct CDS staff to prepare the enabling documents.
