ITEM TITLE:
Title
Ordinance 21-058, relating to the Growth Management Act, adopting Future Land Use Map Amendments to the Snohomish County Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan
(SW6 - Tom Winde)
body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Steve Skorney, Senior Planner
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve
PURPOSE: Proposal by Tom Winde, as modified by the Planning Commission, to amend the Future Land Use (FLU) map of the General Policy Plan (GPP) to redesignate 19.96 acres in the Southwest Urban Growth Area (SWUGA) from Urban Low Density Residential (ULDR) to Urban Medium Density Residential (UMDR) with no concurrent rezone. The zoning on the site would remain R-7,200 which is an implementing zone for the UMDR FLU map designation.
BACKGROUND: Winde - SW6 is considered a minor docket proposal that can be processed for final action in 2021 as the proposal is not a UGA expansion, does not add a significant amount of population capacity to an urban growth area, and environmental review can be completed within the current docket cycle. The SW6 application proposed two options to amend the GPP FLU map: Option 1 - redesignate the site from ULDR to Urban High Density Residential with a concurrent rezone from R-7,200 to Multiple Residential; or Option 2 - redesignate the site from ULDR to UMDR with a concurrent rezone from R-7,200 to Low Density Multiple Residential. PDS completed a final review and forwarded a recommendation of denial of both SW6 options to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the SW6 proposal on June 22, 2021, and, after a lengthy discussion and extensive public testimony, recommended adoption of a modified Option 2 proposal that would redesignate the SW6 site to UMDR without a concurrent rezone.
