Ordinance 24-021, relating to Growth Management; concerning rural cluster subdivisions and short subdivisions; amending Chapters 30.25 and 30.41C of the Snohomish County Code
body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Henry Jennings
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Ken Klein 3/12/24
PURPOSE: The proposed code amendments contained in this ordinance will amend the requirements for rural cluster subdivisions and short subdivisions to allow greater flexibility in the siting of clusters in developments to reduce impervious surfaces, further limit stormwater runoff, reduce the fragmentation of open space and wildlife corridors, increase efficiency of natural drainage systems, and support the protection of rural character
BACKGROUND: Chapter 30.41C of Snohomish County Code (SCC) provides regulations and standards for rural cluster subdivisions and short subdivisions that are an alternative method for developing rural residential property. Landowners and developers are given incentives to cluster lots on the most buildable and least environmentally sensitive portions of site while retaining a substantial portion of each site, including resource lands and critical areas, in open space tracts.
