King County, Case No. 01-3-0010 (FOTL VI), dated October 29, 2001, which decision remanded portions of the King County Comprehensive Plan 2000 to the county for modification; amending Ordinance 263, Article 2, Section 1, as amended, and KCC 20.12.010 and Appendix B to Ordinance 12824.
Body
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. Findings.
A. In June 2000, the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board ordered King County to redesignate a portion of the Bear Creek urban planned development (UPD) site from urban to rural. King County complied with the board's decision by enacting Ordinance 13987 in November 2000. In addition to complying with the board's decision, King County also appealed the Board's decision to King County superior court. That appeal is still pending.
B. In March 2001, King County enacted Ordinance 14044 amending the county's Comprehensive Plan. Among other things, Ordinance 14044 redesignated back to urban the portions of the Bear Creek UPD site that had been designated rural in Ordinance 13987.
C. In its October 29, 2001, Final Decision and Order, the board has again ordered King County to redesignate these same portions of the Bear Creek UPD site back to rural.
D. It is King County's intent to comply with the board's October 29, 2001, Final Decision and Order at this time, but it is also the county's intent to appeal that decision, as well. Should the county's appeal of the board's decision succeed or should the county's previously filed appeal of the board's June 2000 decision succeed, it is the county's intent that these portions of the Bear Creek UPD site be restored to their proper urban designation. This ordinance is enacted solely to comply with the board's October 29, 2001, Final Decision and Order pending resolution of the appeal of that decision and does not reflect a policy determination by the county that the land use designation of the land subject to this ordinance should be changed. This ordinance is also not intended in any way to prevent the land use designation of the land subject to this ordinance from being changed back to urban at any time in the future.
SECTION 2. Ordinance 263, Article 2, Section 1, as amended, and K.C.C. 20.12.010 are each hereby amended to read as follows:
