body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Sarah Titcomb
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve - Ken Klein
PURPOSE: To adopt amendments to Chapters 30.41A and 30.41B of the Snohomish County Code (SCC) relating to subdivisions and short subdivisions. The code amendments will increase consistency between the subdivision and short subdivision chapters, as well as with other Title 30 chapters, the Snohomish County Comprehensive Plan, and a recent administrative rule.
BACKGROUND: Chapters 30.41A and 30.41B SCC describe the subdivision and short subdivision process for development within unincorporated Snohomish County. Over time, other chapters of Title 30 SCC were amended, and administrative rules were adopted which were not consistently mirrored within Chapters 30.41A and 30.41B SCC. The proposed code amendments will increase consistency by: aligning the chapters with the County's post-GMA critical area regulations; codifying Administrative Rule 20-01 allowing model homes in short subdivisions; making housekeeping amendments to improve implementation and readability; and ensuring internal consistency within Chapter 30.41A SCC related to the administrative final plat approval process. PDS briefed the Planning Commission on the proposed code amendments on February 22, 2022. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 22, 2022, and they recommend adoption as outlined in their March 28, 2022, letter.
