body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Mitchell Brouse, Senior Planner
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve
PURPOSE: : Transmit a proposed ordinance amending the Snohomish County Comprehensive Plan, the Official Zoning Map and Snohomish County Code Title 30 to revise mineral resource land use policies and development regulations.
BACKGROUND: In accordance with Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 36.70A.050 and 26.70A.170 and Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 365-190-070 and 365-196-480, the county designates mineral resource lands of long-term commercial significance. Designation is implemented in the Comprehensive Plan through the Mineral Resource Overlay (MRO) and the official zoning map through the Mineral Conservation (MC) zone. Current standards require completion of reclamation efforts prior to beginning any permitting activity for the post-extractive use on depleted mining sites. This process can create administrative delay and require sites to be graded on multiple occasions. This proposal will amend Snohomish County Code, the Land Use Chapter of the General Policy Plan (GPP) of the Comprehensive Plan, the Mineral Resource Lands Map, and the zoning map to: 1) allow for the use of a development agreement to plan for the post-extractive use of active mining sites; 2) repeal the MC zone and relocate all applicable standards to Chapter 30.32C SCC; 3) affix the MRO to all lands that are currently located in the MC zone; and 4) rezone all lands currently in the MC zone to one of the three following zones, consistent with the underlying designation in the comprehensive plan future land use map: Agriculture-10 Acre (A-10), Forestry (F), or Rural 5-Acre (R-5).
