Title
Ordinance 24-067, relating to Growth Management, amending SCC 30.23A.100; concerning urban residential design standards review
body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Hilary McGowan
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved Ken Klein 7/15/24
PURPOSE: This ordinance amends Snohomish County Code (SCC) 30.23A.100 to amend the approval criteria and review process for Urban Residential Design Standards (URDS) site plan applications. Consistent with other Type 1 applications, this ordinance amends the review criteria in Chapter 30.23A SCC for URDS site plan applications to include compliance with all of Title 30 SCC not just Subtitle 30.2 SCC. The ordinance also streamlines the permitting process by requiring consolidated review of URDS site plan applications with concurrently submitted Type 2 applications and removes a reference to non-consolidated hearings of concurrent Type 2 development decisions by the Hearing Examiner.
BACKGROUND: Existing code language under SCC 30.23A.100 limits the review of URDS site plan applications to review under Subtitle 30.2 rather than the entirety of Title 30 SCC. The amendments are needed to ensure that stand-alone URDS site plan applications comply with other applicable regulations in Title 30 SCC. The code amendments reflected current review practices and ensures that URDS applications are in compliance with other regulations that are essential for public health, safety, and welfare. The code amendments add a requirement for consolidated review with other Type 1 and Type 2 applications to help streamline the application review process.
