ORDINANCE NO . 2011 - 017
AMENDING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING MAP
DESIGNATIONS FOR PROPERTY KNOWN AS HARBOR SHORES
LOCATED ON BLAINE ROAD, SOUTH OF DAKOTA CREEK
WHEREAS, On April 30 , 2010 a legal notice was published for the
Planning Commission Public Hearing on the proposed Comprehensive Plan and
Zoning Map amendment .
WHEREAS, On April 30 , 2010 property owners within 1000 feet of the
subject parcels were notified of the propose d Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
amendments .
WHEREAS, On April 30 , 2010 signs were posted on the property notifying
of the proposed rezone .
WHEREAS, A Whatcom County Planning Commission public hearing was
held on May 13 , 2010 .
FINDINGS OF FACT AND REASONS FOR ACTION :
1 . The Whatcom County Council adopted ORD2009 - 0071 which amended the
Comprehensive Plan to , among other things , remove the subject properties
from the Blaine Urban Growth Area and rezone the properties to R10 .
2 . The subject parcels were subdivided initially in 1889 as the Plymouth City
and the southern portion of these properties were re - platted at urban
densities in 1965 as Harbor Shores .
3 . The majority of the subject parcels are a size that is consistent with urban
densities .
4 . The existing homes on properties within the area of the proposed
amendment are on on - site septic systems and are located adjacent to
Drayton Harbor. The property owners have already obtained a shoreline
permit to allow for the extension of sewer into the area . The inclusion of
these properties into the Blaine Urban Growth Area would allow for the
provision of sanitary sewer to these properties and would lessen their
current and future impact on Drayton Harbor.
5 . The addition of subject parcels to the Blaine Urban Growth Area would add
little additional residential capacity to the City of Blaine 's land supply .
6 . The subject parcels are already largely urban in nature and while some
parcels are sized large enough for further subdivision if the area was
rezoned to UR4, these large parcels are currently occupied with homes and
it would be difficult to subdivide .
7 . The owners of Harbor Shores have begun negotiating a development
agreement with the County to allow for alternative wetland mitigation
activities which , upon completion , will satisfy the requirements of WCC
2 . 160 . 080 evaluation criterion 5 ( a ) .
8 . As the property is largely subdivided into lots that are sized for urban
development, the subject property also meets the requirements of WCC
2 . 160 . 080 5 ( b ) identifying properties that are already " urban in character"
as an exception to the code requirement for property owners to purchase
development rights for expansions of Urban Growth Areas .
9 . A SEPA threshold Determination of Non - Significance ( DNS ) was issued on
April 26 , 2010 . The DNS incorporated by reference the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the Urban Growth Area Update
conducted in 2009 .
10 . On April 30 , 2010 a legal notice was published for the Public Hearing on
the proposed Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendment .
11 . On April 30 , 2010 property owners within 1000 feet of the subject parcels
were notified of the proposed Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
amendments .
12 . On April 30 , 2010 signs were posted on the property notifying of the
proposed rezone .
13 . A Whatcom County Planning Commission public hearing was held on May
13 , 2010 .
14 . On May 13 , 2010 The Planning Commission recommended to the County
Council adoption of amendments to the Official Title 20 Zoning Map and
Comprehensive Plan map as shown in Exhibit A .
CONCLUSION
The proposal meets all of the legal requirements as noted within the
Findings of Fact and Reasons for Action . The proposed amendment is
compatible with the Growth Management Act, Whatcom County Comprehensive
Plan Goals and Policies, along with policies within Whatcom County's County
Wide Planning Policies . Approval of this amendment is in the public interest .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Whatcom County Council
that the Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan Map and Zoning map are hereby
amended as shown in Exhibit A .
