body

DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services

 

ORIGINATOR:  Hilary McGowan

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved by Ken Klein 11/21/24

 

PURPOSE: To amend chapter 30.74 SCC to update the docket cycle to reflect the changes in RCW 36.70A.130 that adjust the comprehensive plan cycle from every eight years to every ten years. To amend SCC 30.74.020 to require the docket submittal requirements with the initial review requirements and evaluation criteria in SCC 30.74.030(1)(a). To amend SCC 30.74.060(1) to include federally recognized Indian Tribes in the distribution list for public notification in the comprehensive plan and the final docket in order to align with a similar requirement in RCW 36.70A.110(9) and amends the final docket approval criteria in SCC 30.74.060(2) to include consistency with the multicounty planning policies, to ensure consistency with the docket proposal submittal requirements and initial review and evaluation criteria in chapter 30.74 SCC. To remove a Code Reviser note that is fully reflected in the published online code as intended.

 

BACKGROUND: This ordinance amends chapter 30.74 SCC, “Growth Management Act Public Participation Program Docketing.” In 2022 the Washington State Legislature enacted Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1241 that changed the GMA comprehensive plan update cycle in RCW 36.70A.130 from every eight years to every ten years. The County’s timelines for reviewing docket proposals in chapter 30.74 SCC are aligned to the former eight-year comprehensive plan update cycle and are now out of sync with the current ten-year update cycle. Amendments to the docketing procedures in chapter 30.74 SCC will align the requirements for submitting and reviewing docket proposals with the new comprehensive plan update cycle and ensure consistency with the requirements in the GMA and chapter 30.74 SCC. This ordinance also includes findings to support the removal of a Code Reviser Note to SCC 30.74.020(2) in the published online code.
