body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Sarah Titcomb
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Ken Klein 9/12/24
PURPOSE: To adopt code amendments to chapter 30.70 of the Snohomish County Code (SCC) related to development application review procedures. The amendments will revise permit procedures and timelines in compliance with new default permit processing time frames mandated in the Local Project Review Act as amended by the Second Substitute Senate Bill (2SSB) 5290. The code amendments also allow County Code to comply with Chapter 36.70B RCW more fully and provide consistent permitting timelines for more efficient permit review.
BACKGROUND: Snohomish County is required to comply with the permit procedures provided in the Local Project Review Act, Chapter 36.70B RCW. The Washington State Legislature amended this Act by adopting 2SSB 5290 in 2023. 2SSB 5290 adopts a variety of new project, review, and permitting requirements, including new default permit processing time frames that take effect on January 1, 2025. Chapter 30.70 SCC incorporates the permit processing requirements of the Local Project Review Act. PDS briefed the Planning Commission on the proposed code amendments on June 25, 2024, and the Planning Commission held a hearing on July 23, 2024. The Planning Commission recommends adoption of the code amendments as outlined in their July 30, 2024, letter.
