BACKGROUND: On August 12, 2009, the County Council adopted Amended Ordinance No which amended the FLUM designation of the Point Wells property from Urban Industrial to Urban Center and amended the zoning map from Heavy Industrial to Planned Community Business. Also on August 12, 2009, the County Council adopted Amended Ordinance No , which adopted amendments to the Land Use (LU) chapter of the Snohomish County Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan (GMACP) General Policy Plan (GPP) for Urban Center. On May 12, 2010, the County Council adopted Amended Ordinance No , which amended Urban Center design standards, established a new zone for Urban Centers, amended bulk regulations for the Neighborhood Business zone, amended and repealed definitions to Subtitle 30.9 SCC and amended sections in Title 30 SCC. Also on May 12, 2010, the County Council adopted Amended Ordinance No , which amended the zoning map from Planned Community Business to Urban Center for the Point Wells property. Subsequent to County Council adoption the City of Shoreline, Town of Woodway and resident organizations and individuals from the Richmond Beach neighborhood separately appealed the adoption of Amended Ordinance Nos , , and related to the Point Wells property to the Growth Management Hearings Board (Board) Central Puget Sound Region. The separate appeals were consolidated in the cases of City of Shoreline, Town of Woodway and Save Richmond Beach, et al. v. Snohomish County, Nos c (Shoreline III) and c (Shoreline IV). On April 25, 2011, the Board issued a Final Decision and Order (FDO) in the Shoreline III and Shoreline IV cases finding the County's re-designation and rezoning of the property to be out of compliance with the Growth Management Act (GMA). The board invalidated and remanded Amended Ordinance Nos and to Snohomish County with direction to take legislative action to come into compliance with the requirements of the GMA with respect to those properties. The proposed ordinance would restore the previous FLUM designation of Urban Industrial and zoning of Heavy Industrial. The ordinance would also adopt amendments to the Land Use (LU) chapter of the Snohomish County Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan (GMACP) General Policy Plan (GPP) for Urban Centers including removal of references to Point Wells. _

4 1 take legislative action to come into compliance with the requirements of the GMA with respect 2 to the Point Wells property; and 3 4 WHEREAS, The Snohomish County Council desires by this legislative action to bring 5 the County into compliance with the GMA and the Board's FDO by restoring Point Wells to the 6 FLUM and zoning map designations that it had prior to the adoption of Amended Ordinance 7 Nos and , and by making additional revisions and amendments to the GPP LU 8 chapter related to Urban Centers NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED: Section 1. The county council makes the following findings: A. The county council adopts and incorporates the foregoing recitals as findings as if set forth 15 fully herein. 16 B. The county council finds that adoption of this ordinance is necessary to resolve the finding 17 of noncompliance in the FDO issued by the Board in the Shoreline Ill and IV cases related 18 to the designation of the Point Wells property on the FLUM and zoning map. 19 C. The county council finds that adoption of this ordinance to restore the FLUM and zoning 20 map designations for the Point Wells property to what they were prior to the adoption of 21 Amended Ordinance Nos and is necessary bring the County into 22 compliance with the GMA. 23 D. The county council finds that adoption of this ordinance to revise the GPP LU chapter for 24 Urban Centers is necessary to bring the County into compliance with the GMA. 25 E. The proposal for the Point Wells property is to amend the FLUM designation of 61 acres 26 south and west of the Town of Woodway, north of the King/Snohomish County Line and 27 east of Puget Sound from Urban Center to Urban Industrial, and to amend the zoning map 28 designation for that property from Urban Center to Heavy Industrial. 29 F. The proposal to amend the GPP LU chapter for Urban Centers is needed to remove 30 references to Point Wells and revise the introductory text to capitalize the term "Centers". 31 Capitalization of the term "centers" will assist in distinguishing a "center" from an "urban 32 center." One term is a specific type of Center and the other an umbrella or overarching 33 term for the difference types of Centers designated in the comprehensive plan. 34 G. The proposal to amend Appendix E-Glossary of the GMACP-GPP is needed to add a 35 definition of the term "Centers." The term is used throughout the GPP LU chapter for Urban 36 Centers and defining it provides additional context. 37 H. The amendments maintain consistency with all elements of the GMACP including the 38 Transportation and Capital Facilities Elements. 39 I. The amendments to the GMACP and zoning map satisfy and are consistent with the 40 procedural requirements of RCW 36.70A.130(2)(b) and the substantive requirements of the 41 GMA. 42 J. This matter is exempt from planning commission review pursuant to SCC (2) and 43 RCW 36.70A.130(2)(b). Page 2 of 16

5 K. The county has met the state and local requirements for public participation and 2 interjurisdictional coordination. 3 L. A Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS) to the Environmental 4 Impact Statement for the 2005 Snohomish County GMACP 10-Year Update was issued on 5 February 6, Included in the DSEIS was analysis of the Point Wells proposal which 6 the Board found noncompliant in the Shoreline Ill and IV Final Decision and Order (FDO). 7 A Final SEIS (FSEIS), including response to comments on the DSEIS, was prepared 8 following the 30-day comment period and was issued on June 12, The FSEIS 9 analyzed potential significant environmental impacts of the Point Wells proposal including 10 the No Action Alternative. The amendments to the GMACP and zoning map in this 11 ordinance restore the Point Wells property to the previous designation that was analyzed in 12 the No Action Alternative. As the FSEIS has previously analyzed the proposed 13 amendments, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requirements with respect to this 14 proposed action have been satisfied by these documents M. An addendum was issued on, 2012, for the purpose of disclosing any additional 17 environmental impacts from the adoption of amendments to the GMACP GPP, Land Use 18 Chapter N. The county council held a public hearing on, The county council is committed to seeking a long term solution for the Point Wells property 23 that includes a comprehensive plan designation, zoning and development regulations that: Are compliant with the Growth Management Act; Balance the interests of the property owner, Town of Woodway, City of Shoreline, and 26 neighboring residents; Meet local, state and county environmental regulations, including SEPA; Mitigate for transportation impacts on area roads; and Provide for opportunities for the public to provide early input P. The county council directs that any long term solutions for the Point Wells property shall be 32 incorporated into a future docket cycle outside of the GMA comprehensive plan update 33 process Q. The Washington State Attorney General is directed under RCW 36.70A.370 to advise st ate 36 agencies and local governments on an orderly, consistent process that better enables 37 government to evaluate proposed regulatory actions to assure that the actions do not result 38 in the unconstitutional taking of private property or violate substantive due process 39 guarantees R. The Washington State Attorney General issued an advisory memorandum in December of entitled Advisory Memorandum: Avoiding Unconstitutional Takings of Private Property 43 to help local governments avoid the unconstitutional taking of private property S. The 2006 Advisory Memorandum was used by the County in objectively evaluating the 46 changes proposed by this ordinance T. The county council has considered and assessed potential constitutional issues related to 49 the amendments proposed by this ordinance including, but not limited to: whether the Page 3 of 16

6 proposed amendments will result in a permanent or temporary physical occupation of 2 private property; whether the proposed amendments will deprive affected property owners 3 of all economically viable uses of their properties; whether the pi opt.)ed amendments will 4 deny or substantially diminish a fundamental attribute of property ownership; whether the 5 proposed amendments require a property owner to dedicate a portion of property or to grant 6 an easement; and whether the proposed amendments will have a severe impact on the 7 property owners' economic interests. 8 9 Section 2. The county council makes the following conclusions regarding the amendments 10 adopted by this ordinance: A. The county council concludes that adoption of this ordinance is necessary to resolve the 13 Board's finding of noncompliance in the FDO in the Shoreline Ill and IV cases related to the 14 Point Wells property. 15 B. The amendments maintain the GMACP's consistency with the multi-county policies adopted 16 by the Puget Sound Regional Council and with the CPPs for Snohomish County. 17 C. The amendments are consistent with the GMACP and comply with the GMA. 18 D. All SEPA requirements with respect to this non-project action have been satisfied. 19 E. The County complied with state and local public participation requirements under the GMA 20 and chapter SCC. 21 F.

12 Centers Exhibit C Ordinance No. 12- GPP Amendments to the Centers Section of the Land Use Chapter 7 ((Urban centers)) Centers have been 8 identified by the county and its cities where 9 significant population and employment growth 10 can be located, a community-wide focal point 11 can be provided, and the increased use of 12 transit, bicycling and walking can be 13 supported. These ((centers)) Centers are 14 intended to be compact and centralized living, 15 working, shopping and/or activity areas linked 16 to each other by transit emphasis corridors. 17 (( )) Centers ((is)) are 18 pedestrian and transit ((orientation)) oriented 19 with a focus on circulation, scale and 20 convenience with a mix of uses. 21 An important component of ((centers)) 22 Centers is the public realm. The public realm 23 is the area ((within centers)) that the public 24 has access to for informal rest and recreation 25 activities such as walking, sitting, games and 26 observing the natural environment. The 27 public realm along with residential and 28 employment uses help define a sense of 29 place and give ((centers)) Centers an identity The pedestrian and transit oriented design of ((centers)) Centers helps reduce singleoccupancy auto trips. Similar attention to the transit emphasis corridors ((than)) that connect the ((centers)) Centers can further reduce such trips and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions a main contributor to climate change. A reduction in vehicle miles traveled helps the county in meeting its goals for climate change as detailed in the Natural Environment chapter of this comprehensive plan. Specific ((centers)) Centers also promote the county's goals for sustainability by incorporating environmentally friendly building design and development practices according to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building certification and low impact development (LID) techniques into the development process. The primary direction for the development of ((centers)) Centers came from the Puget Sound Regional Council's (PSRC) Vision 2020 regional growth strategy (as subsequently refined in Vision 2040). Specific guidelines for development were also derived from the Snohomish County Tomorrow Urban Centers paper and Transit Oriented Development Guidelines Report and are updated based on recent regional center development and the SW Snohomish County Urban Center Phase 1 Report (February 2001). The PSRC is an association of cities, towns, counties, ports, and state agencies that serves as a forum for developing policies and making decisions about regional growth and transportation issues in the central Puget Sound region encompassing King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties. The PSRC is responsible for the long-range growth management, and the economic and transportation strategy for the four-county central Puget Sound region most recently captured in Vision PSRC's Vision 2040 and the countywide planning policies provide further direction for the development of ((centers)) Centers. Snohomish County initially designated ((centers)) Centers as a circle on the Future Land Use Map in the 1995 GMA Comprehensive Plan to provide a starting point for more detailed planning. ((a- )) Centers were also designated in adopted UGA plans. Snohomish County has ((three)) four types of ((centers)) Centers in unincorporated UGAs that are differentiated by purpose, location, intensity, and characteristics: Page 8 of 16

13 1 Urban Centers (A subcomponent of 2 Urban Centers is the Transit 3 Pedestrian Villages) 4 Transit Pedestrian Village 5 Urban Villages 6 Manufacturing and Industrial Centers 7 Urban Centers provide a mix of high-density 8 residential, office and retail development with 9 public and community facilities and pedestrian 10 connections located along a designated high 11 capacity route and/or a transit emphasis 12 corridor. The plan designates Urban Centers 13 at the following locations: 14 Interstate 5 and 128 th St SE; 15 Interstate 5 and 164 th St SW; 16 State Route 527 and 196 th St SE; 17 State Route 99 and State Route 525; 18 State Route 99 and 152 nd St SW; and 19 Interstate 5 and 44 th Avenue West ((i 20 ate)) 21 ((Point Wells)) 22 Transit Pedestrian Villages are the areas 23 within designated Urban Centers that 24 surround an existing or planned high 25 capacity transit station. They feature uses 26 that enhance and support the high capacity 27 transit station. Emphasis is placed on a 28 compact walkable area that is integrated with 29 multiple modes of transportation. The plan 30 designates a Transit Pedestrian Village at 31 the following location: th St SW and Ash Way 33 Urban Villages like other centers, promote a 34 reduction in vehicle miles traveled by 35 emphasizing pedestrian oriented, mixed-use 36 design within close proximity to transit. They 37 are smaller scale than urban centers, have 38 lower densities, allow mixed uses and may be 39 located on or outside a high capacity transit 40 station. Of special note is the planning process for the Urban Village at Cathcart Way and State Route 9, which incorporates principles of sustainability and "green" building in accordance with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. The goal is for the development at this site to serve as a model for "green" building and sustainable neighborhood development in Snohomish County. The plan designates Urban Villages at the following locations: State Route 99 and Airport Road; State Route 99 and Center Road; 112 th St SE and 4 th Ave W; 164th St SW and 33 rd Ave W; Cathcart Way and State Route 9; 148th St SE and Seattle Hill Road; State Route 527 and 185 th St SE; Filbert Road and North Road; Maltby Road and 39th Ave SE; and 80th Ave NW and 284th St NW Manufacturing/Industrial Centers are major existing regional employment areas of intensive, concentrated manufacturing and industrial land uses which cannot be easily mixed at higher densities with other land uses and located with good access to the region's transportation system. The plan designates a Manufacturing and Industrial Center at Paine Field. Whenever possible, it is the county's intent to support the efforts of the cities to preserve, enhance, or develop centers within their city limits. Centers within unincorporated UGAs will be established with special emphasis on areas within the Southwest UGA cognizant of the cities efforts for their own centers. The county will explore incentives and develop other techniques to make center development viable in the long term. Careful attention must be given to the recreational and cultural OF THE SNOHOMISH COUNTY GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GENERAL POLICY PLAN LAND USE CHAPTER Page 9 of 16
