Body
PREAMBLE:
King County is the steward of a significant system of regional parks, trails and natural areas.
The Phase II Business Transition Plan, completed by the department of natural resources and parks in August 2002, and Ordinance 14509, adopted November 12, 2002, set forth the vision and implementation strategies for the King County parks and recreation system in 2003 and beyond.  The plan identified ways to reduce the parks division budget while keeping key regional parks assets open and preserving local rural facilities where practical.
The plan identified a next step to achieve the department's new vision as a submittal by the executive of an ordinance proposing changes to the King County Code.
This ordinance revises the land use code to allow for new uses in the parks that will create an opportunity for the division to support the parks programs and provide additional amenities in the parks to serve park users.
Projects proposed for development will be evaluated for appropriateness for the park and the system.  Department policies and procedures will be developed to provide criteria for project evaluation; the City of Redmond and Friends of Marymoor Park will be included in the development of criteria for project evaluation for projects proposed and evaluated for Marymoor Park.
The department of natural resources and parks will conduct a public outreach element and will consult with adjacent jurisdictions for each specific project covered under the code amendments and the current zoning regulations.  Outreach could include a combination of public meetings, mailings, website posting, newspaper notices, listserve notification, targeted outreach to neighbors and user group meetings.  A summary of the public outreach process and public comments will be included in the transmittal to the county council for projects that require council approval.

Title
AN ORDINANCE relating to parks and agricultural product sales; designation of large active recreation and multiuse parks; amending zoning provisions relating to new uses for parks; amending Ordinance 10870, Section 331, as amended, and K.C.C. 21A.08.040, Ordinance 10870, Section 332, as amended and K.C.C. 21A.08.050, Ordinance 10870, Section 334, as amended and K.C.C. 21A.08.070, Ordinance 10870, Section 340 as amended, and K.C.C. 21A.12.030 and adding new sections to K.C.C. chapter 7.02 and K.C.C. chapter 21A.06.
Body
PREAMBLE:
King County is the steward of a significant system of regional parks, trails and natural areas.
The Phase II Business Transition Plan, completed by the department of natural resources and parks in August 2002, and Ordinance 14509, adopted November 12, 2002, set forth the vision and implementation strategies for the King County parks and recreation system in 2003 and beyond.  The plan identified ways to reduce the parks division budget while keeping key regional parks assets open and preserving local rural facilities where practical.
The plan identified a next step to achieve the department's new vision as a submittal by the executive of an ordinance proposing changes to the King County Code.
This ordinance revises the land use code to allow for new uses in the parks that will create an opportunity for the division to support the parks programs and provide additional amenities in the parks to serve park users.
Projects proposed for development will be evaluated for appropriateness for the park and the system.  Department policies and procedures will be developed to provide criteria for project evaluation; the City of Redmond and Friends of Marymoor Park will be included in the development of criteria for project evaluation for projects proposed and evaluated for Marymoor Park.
The department of natural resources and parks will conduct a public outreach element and will consult with adjacent jurisdictions for each specific project covered under the code amendments and the current zoning regulations.  Outreach could include a combination of public meetings, mailings, website posting, newspaper notices, listserve notification, targeted outreach to neighbors and user group meetings.  A summary of the public outreach process and public comments will be included in the transmittal to the county council for projects that require council approval.
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
      NEW SECTION.  SECTION 1.  There is hereby added to K.C.C. chapter 7.02 a new section to read as follows:
      Large active recreation and multiuse park.  The department may designate a King County facility as a large active recreation and multiuse park.  The department shall maintain a parks inventory list showing the parks designated as large active recreation and multiuse parks.  The department shall set out a process through department policies and procedures for review and public meetings for designation of a large active recreation and multiuse park.
      NEW SECTION.  SECTION 2.  There is hereby added to K.C.C. chapter 21A.06 a new section to read as follows:
      Agricultural product, value added.  Agricultural product, value added: the incremental value that is realized by the producer from an agricultural commodity or product as a result in:
      A.  Change in its physical state;
      B.  Differentiated production or marketing as demonstrated in a business plan; or
      C.  Product segregation.
      NEW SECTION.  SECTION 3.  There is hereby added to K.C.C. chapter 21A.06 a new section to read as follows:

PREAMBLE:
King County is the steward of a significant system of regional parks, trails and natural areas.
The Phase II Business Transition Plan, completed by the department of natural resources and parks in August 2002, and Ordinance 14509, adopted November 12, 2002, set forth the vision and implementation strategies for the King County parks and recreation system in 2003 and beyond.  The plan identified ways to reduce the parks division budget while keeping key regional parks assets open and preserving local rural facilities where practical.
The plan identified a next step to achieve the department's new vision as a submittal by the executive of an ordinance proposing changes to the King County Code.
This ordinance revises the land use code to allow for new uses in the parks that will create an opportunity for the division to support the parks programs and provide additional amenities in the parks to serve park users.
Projects proposed for development will be evaluated for appropriateness for the park and the system.  Department policies and procedures will be developed to provide criteria for project evaluation; the City of Redmond and Friends of Marymoor Park will be included in the development of criteria for project evaluation for projects proposed and evaluated for Marymoor Park.
The department of natural resources and parks will conduct a public outreach element and will consult with adjacent jurisdictions for each specific project covered under the code amendments and the current zoning regulations.  Outreach could include a combination of public meetings, mailings, website posting, newspaper notices, listserve notification, targeted outreach to neighbors and user group meetings.  A summary of the public outreach process and public comments will be included in the transmittal to the county council for projects that require council approval.

Title
AN ORDINANCE relating to parks and agricultural product sales; designation of large active recreation and multiuse parks; amending zoning provisions relating to new uses for parks; amending Ordinance 10870, Section 331, as amended, and K.C.C. 21A.08.040, Ordinance 10870, Section 332, as amended and K.C.C. 21A.08.050, Ordinance 10870, Section 334, as amended and K.C.C. 21A.08.070, Ordinance 10870, Section 340 as amended, and K.C.C. 21A.12.030 and adding new sections to K.C.C. chapter 7.02 and K.C.C. chapter 21A.06.
Body
PREAMBLE:
King County is the steward of a significant system of regional parks, trails and natural areas.
The Phase II Business Transition Plan, completed by the department of natural resources and parks in August 2002, and Ordinance 14509, adopted November 12, 2002, set forth the vision and implementation strategies for the King County parks and recreation system in 2003 and beyond.  The plan identified ways to reduce the parks division budget while keeping key regional parks assets open and preserving local rural facilities where practical.
The plan identified a next step to achieve the department's new vision as a submittal by the executive of an ordinance proposing changes to the King County Code.
This ordinance revises the land use code to allow for new uses in the parks that will create an opportunity for the division to support the parks programs and provide additional amenities in the parks to serve park users.
Projects proposed for development will be evaluated for appropriateness for the park and the system.  Department policies and procedures will be developed to provide criteria for project evaluation; the City of Redmond and Friends of Marymoor Park will be included in the development of criteria for project evaluation for projects proposed and evaluated for Marymoor Park.
The department of natural resources and parks will conduct a public outreach element and will consult with adjacent jurisdictions for each specific project covered under the code amendments and the current zoning regulations.  Outreach could include a combination of public meetings, mailings, website posting, newspaper notices, listserve notification, targeted outreach to neighbors and user group meetings.  A summary of the public outreach process and public comments will be included in the transmittal to the county council for projects that require council approval.
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:

      NEW SECTION.  SECTION 2.  There is hereby added to K.C.C. chapter 21A.06 a new section to read as follows:
      Agricultural product, value added.  Agricultural product, value added: the incremental value that is realized by the producer from an agricultural commodity or product as a result in:
      A.  Change in its physical state;
      B.  Differentiated production or marketing as demonstrated in a business plan; or

Title
AN ORDINANCE relating to parks and agricultural product sales; designation of large active recreation and multiuse parks; amending zoning provisions relating to new uses for parks; amending Ordinance 10870, Section 331, as amended, and K.C.C. 21A.08.040, Ordinance 10870, Section 332, as amended and K.C.C. 21A.08.050, Ordinance 10870, Section 334, as amended and K.C.C. 21A.08.070, Ordinance 10870, Section 340 as amended, and K.C.C. 21A.12.030 and adding new sections to K.C.C. chapter 7.02 and K.C.C. chapter 21A.06.
Body
PREAMBLE:
King County is the steward of a significant system of regional parks, trails and natural areas.
The Phase II Business Transition Plan, completed by the department of natural resources and parks in August 2002, and Ordinance 14509, adopted November 12, 2002, set forth the vision and implementation strategies for the King County parks and recreation system in 2003 and beyond.  The plan identified ways to reduce the parks division budget while keeping key regional parks assets open and preserving local rural facilities where practical.
The plan identified a next step to achieve the department's new vision as a submittal by the executive of an ordinance proposing changes to the King County Code.
This ordinance revises the land use code to allow for new uses in the parks that will create an opportunity for the division to support the parks programs and provide additional amenities in the parks to serve park users.
Projects proposed for development will be evaluated for appropriateness for the park and the system.  Department policies and procedures will be developed to provide criteria for project evaluation; the City of Redmond and Friends of Marymoor Park will be included in the development of criteria for project evaluation for projects proposed and evaluated for Marymoor Park.
The department of natural resources and parks will conduct a public outreach element and will consult with adjacent jurisdictions for each specific project covered under the code amendments and the current zoning regulations.  Outreach could include a combination of public meetings, mailings, website posting, newspaper notices, listserve notification, targeted outreach to neighbors and user group meetings.  A summary of the public outreach process and public comments will be included in the transmittal to the county council for projects that require council approval.
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:

      B.  Development conditions.
        1.  This maximum density may be achieved only through the application of residential density incentives in accordance with K.C.C. chapter 21A.34 or transfers of development rights in accordance with K.C.C. chapter 21A.37, or any combination of density incentive or density transfer.  Maximum density may only be exceeded in accordance with K.C.C. 21A.34.040F.1.g.
        2.  Also see K.C.C. 21A.12.060.
        3.  These standards may be modified under the provisions for zero-lot-line and townhouse developments.
        4.  Height limits may be increased if portions of the structure that exceed the base height limit provide one additional foot of street and interior setback for each foot above the base height limit, but the maximum height may not exceed seventy-five feet.  Netting or fencing and support structures for the netting or fencing used to contain golf balls in the operation of golf courses or golf driving ranges are exempt from the additional interior setback requirements but the maximum height shall not exceed seventy-five feet, except for large active recreation and multiuse parks, where the maximum height shall not exceed one hundred and twenty-five feet, unless a golf ball trajectory study requires a higher fence.
        5.  Applies to each individual lot. Impervious surface area standards for:
          a.  regional uses shall be established at the time of permit review;
          b.  nonresidential uses in residential zones shall comply with  K.C.C. 21A.12.120 and 21A.12.220;
          c.  individual lots in the R-4 through R-6 zones that are less than nine thousand seventy-six square feet in area shall be subject to the applicable provisions of the nearest comparable R-6 or R-8 zone; and
          d.  a lot may be increased beyond the total amount permitted in this chapter subject to approval of a conditional use permit.
        6.  Mobile home parks shall be allowed a base density of six dwelling units per acre.
        7.  The standards of the R-4 zone shall apply if a lot is less than fifteen thousand square feet in area.
        8.  At least twenty linear feet of driveway shall be provided between any garage, carport or other fenced parking area and the street property line.  The linear distance shall be measured along the center line of the driveway from the access point to such garage, carport or fenced area to the street property line.
        9.a.  Residences shall have a setback of at least one hundred feet from any property line adjoining A, M or F zones or existing extractive operations.  However, residences on lots less than one hundred fifty feet in width adjoining A, M or F zone or existing extractive operations shall have a setback from the rear property line equal to fifty percent of the lot width and a setback from the side property equal to twenty-five percent of the lot width.
          b.  Except for residences along a property line adjoining A, M or F zones or existing extractive operations, lots between one acre and two and one-half acres in size shall conform to the requirements of the R-1 zone and lots under one acre shall conform to the requirements of the R-4 zone.
        10.a.  For developments consisting of three or more single-detached dwellings located on a single parcel, the setback shall be ten feet along any property line abutting R-1 through R-8, RA and UR zones, except for structures in on-site play areas required in K.C.C. 21A.14.190, which shall have a setback of five feet.
          b.  For townhouse and apartment development, the setback shall be twenty feet along any property line abutting R-1 through R-8, RA and UR zones, except for structures in on-site play areas rquired in K.C.C. 21A.14.190, which shall have a setback of five feet, unless the townhouse or apartment development is adjacent to property upon which an existing townhouse or apartment development is located.
        11.  Lots smaller than one-half acre in area shall comply with standards of the nearest comparable R-4 through R-8 zone.  For lots that are one-half acre in area or larger, the maximum impervious surface area allowed shall be at least ten thousand square feet.  On any lot over one acre in area, an additional five percent of the lot area may be used for buildings related to agricultural or forestry practices. For lots smaller than two acres but larger than one-half acre, an additional ten percent of the lot area may be used for structures that are determined to be medically necessary, if the applicant submits with the permit application a notarized affidavit, conforming with K.C.C. 21A.32.170A.2.
        12.  For purposes of calculating minimum density, the applicant may request that the minimum density factor be modified based upon the weighted average slope of the net buildable area of the site in accordance with K.C.C. 21A.12.087.
        13.  The minimum lot area does not apply to lot clustering proposals.
        14.  The base height to be used only for projects as follows:
          a.  in R-6 and R-8 zones, a building with a footprint built on slopes exceeding a fifteen percent finished grade; and
          b.  in R-18, R-24 and R-48 zones using residential density incentives and transfer of density credits in accordance with this title.
        15.  Density applies only to dwelling units and not to sleeping units.
        16.  Vehicle access points from garages, carports or fenced parking areas shall be set back from the property line on which a joint use driveway is located to provide a straight line length of at least twenty-six feet as measured from the center line of the garage, carport or fenced parking area, from the access point to the opposite side of the joint use driveway.
        17a.  all subdivisions and short subdivisions in the R-1 zone shall be required to be clustered if the property is located within or contains:
            (1)  a floodplain,
            (2)  a critical aquifer recharge area,
            (3)  a Regionally or Locally Significant Resource Area,
            (4)  existing or planned public parks or trails, or connections to such facilities,
            (5)  a Class I or II stream or wetland, or
            (6)  a steep slope, or
            (7)  a "greenbelt/urban separator" or "wildlife corridor" area designated by the Comprehensive Plan or a community plan.
          b.  The development shall be clustered away from sensitive areas or the axis of designated corridors such as urban separators or the wildlife habitat network to the extent possible and the open space shall be placed in a separate tract that includes at least fifty percent of the site.  Open space tracts shall be permanent and shall be dedicated to a homeowner's association or other suitable organization, as determined by the director, and meet the requirements in K.C.C. 21A.14.040.  On-site sensitive area and buffers, wildlife habitat networks, required habitat and buffers for protected species and designated urban separators shall be placed within the open space tract to the extent possible.  Passive recreation (with no development of recreational facilities) and natural-surface pedestrian and equestrian trails are acceptable uses within the open space tract.

        19.  All subdivisions and short subdivisions in R-1 and RA zones within the North Fork and Upper Issaquah Creek subbasins of the Issaquah Creek Basin (the North Fork and Upper Issaquah Creek subbasins are identified in the Issaquah Creek Basin and Nonpoint Action Plan) and the portion of the Grand Ridge subarea of the East Sammamish Community Planning Area that drains to Patterson Creek shall have a maximum impervious surface area of eight percent of the gross acreage of the plat.  Distribution of the allowable impervious area among the platted lots shall be recorded on the face of the plat.  Impervious surface of roads need not be counted towards the allowable impervious area.  Where both lot- and plat-specific impervious limits apply, the more restrictive shall be required.
        20.  This density may only be achieved on RA 2.5 and RA 5 zoned parcels receiving density from rural forest focus areas through the transfer of density credit pilot program outlined in K.C.C. chapter 21A.55.  
        21.  Base density may be exceeded, if the property is located in a designated rural city urban growth area and each proposed lot contains an occupied legal residence that predates 1959.
        22.  The maximum density is four dwelling units per acre for properties zoned R-4 when located in the Rural Town of Fall City.
 
        23.  The minimum density requirement does not apply to properties located within the Rural Town of Fall City.
