Proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Text and Map to be referred

URBAN RESERVE POLICIES
Page 28, insert a new Section 1.07 and renumber remaining sections
New Policy 1.07:
"Lands within the Urban Reserve area may, however, be developed prior to
the provision of urban services from the City of Ferndale. Developments
proposed prior to the provision of such services shall be designed in such
a manner as to be complimentary to the eventual conversion to urban land
use patterns and logical transportation and service extensions. To
accomplish this option, proposed developments shall (a) be designed as
a cluster subdivision; (b) adhere to a maximum density of one dwelling
unit per five acres; (c) contain lot sizes consistent with b atcom County
Health Board Rules and Regulations; (d) be planned in relationship to
the city's future neighborhood transportation network; (e) be compatible
with the city's planned sewer and water service corridors; and (f) be
harmonious with the city's future annexation program."
New Policy 1.07,1:
"The cluster method of subdivision is defined as an alternative method of
creating building parcels that involves:
a) the concentration of spatially efficient and marketable building
lots while preserving the intent of the land use district; and
b) the retention of options for future uses and densities by treating
the land as both a commodity and a resource.
The density of the use district defines the number of allowable dwelling
units per land area but does not define lot size. Lot size is determined
by the land owner and Whatcom County Health Board Rules and Regulations
concerning soil percability. Land area not used for building purposes
is- designated as "Reserve Tract" and should be used for open space purposes
until such time that sewer and water services can be provided by the City
of Ferndale. Upon the provision of such services, said Reserve Tract will
be appropriate for residential densities consistent with the City of
Ferndale."
RESIDENTIAL RURAL
Page 31, Section 1.03
1.03 Whatcom County shall implement the RESIDENTIAL designation by
application of a Residential Cluster Development zoning district,
in which the overall density of development shall not exceed one
(1) dwelling unit per acre, unless Ferndale water is available,
in which case the overall density of development may be increased
to not more than two (2) dwelling units per acre.
Page 32, Section 1.04.1
1.04.1. The overall density of development, pertinent to the original
parcel of record, shall not exceed one (1) dwelling per acre,
unless Ferndale water is available, in which case the overall
density of development may be increased to not more than two
(2) dwelling units per acre.
RURAL
Map Change
The land use map in the Comprehensive Plan which addresses this
area (Agriculture designated area in Axton- Aldrich- .Smith Road
area) should be changed from Agriculture to Aural 10 acre, conse-
quently, the zoning map must also be changed from Agriculture to
Rural Ten acres. .
