body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Eileen Canola
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve - Ken Klein
PURPOSE: Council review of proposed City of Stanwood Kottsick Annexation
BACKGROUND: The City of Stanwood (City) has proposed the Kottsick Annexation of approximately 30 acres. The City submitted a notice of intention (NOI) to the Snohomish County Boundary Review Board (BRB) - file no. 02-2022 (Attachment A to Motion), for which the 45-day review period ends on March 17, 2022. The BRB, consistent with its annexation review procedures outlined in Chapter 2.77 SCC, distributed the NOI to County departments including Planning and Development Services (PDS). Per SCC 2.77.040(4) within this 45-day review period, the County Council must determine whether to invoke BRB jurisdiction (‘file a request for review’). If BRB jurisdiction is invoked during the 45-day review, by the County or another party, the BRB may hold public hearings and approve, deny, or modify the proposed annexation. BRB decisions must be consistent with Growth Management Act (GMA) provisions including the planning goals and framework for urban growth areas (UGAs) and Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs). State law also defines objectives (RCW 36.93.180) for board review and provides factors (RCW 36.93.170) for board consideration in making its decision. If BRB jurisdiction is not invoked, the annexation would be deemed approved. If the annexation is approved by the BRB either following a public hearing or because no party invokes BRB jurisdiction, the annexation would need to be finalized by Town ordinance setting the effective date. The authority of the County Council for reviewing annexations is set forth in Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 36.93.100 and SCC 2.77.040. The proposed Kottsick Annexation area is comprised of 30 acres and is within the Stanwood Urban Growth Area (UGA) east of 80th Avenue NW and south of Larson Road/288th Street NW. The assessed valuation of the proposed annexation area is $1,280,200 The proposed area for annexation contains two residences with a total population of two. The annexation is expected to have minimal impact to County expenses. The proposed annexation is consistent with the GMA, the CPPs, and local comprehensive plans, the factors, and objectives of the BRB, and will have minimal impact to County budget and services. The annexation proposal furthers the GMA goals and CPP policies that cities and towns should be the primary providers of urban services that are existing or planned. The recommendation to the County Council from PDS is to not oppose the City of Stanwood Kottsick annexation and to not invoke the jurisdiction of the BRB.
