Mr. Haggard suggests that the "binding site plan" process be allowable for projects where a final PUD has been approved and recorded, or where a final subdivision plat has been recorded. In both cases, a public review process will have been fully implemented. In the case of a previously approved subdivision, the major benefit is relieving the property/developer from being required to replat the entire property if an additional future subdivision for sale or lease is proposed within five (5) years of approval of the original plat.

City Attorney 1. !'Ik1, - ,iz) 1 'L RE: Subdivision Ordinance t CITY CLERK • We enclose to each of you a copy of the draft ordinance for revisions of the Subdivision Ordinance to bring it into compliance with the recent amendments of Chapter 58.17 RCW. Section I of the Ordinance amends Code Section 9-1106 2 (H). to provide that final plats must be submitted for approval within three years of the date of the Preliminary Plat Approval . The applicant may request a one year extension of the Preliminary Plat approval by application to the Hearing Examiner on a showing, that the applicant has attemped in good faith to submit the. Final Plat within the original approval period. Section II of the Ordinance amends Code. Section 9-110.6 .2 (C) to give special notice of subdivision applications to landowners adjacent to the subject parcel. Under this provision, the landowners located within 300 feet of any portion of the boundary of the proposed sub- division or of any other adjacent parcel owned by the subdividers , would receive notice by mail of the hearing on the application. The notice would be forwarded to the landowners at the addresses shown by the records of the King County Assessor . This new Section shifts unto the applicant the burden and expense of providing a current list of adjacent landowners and their addresses and providing the notices ready to be. mailed by the City. Finally, subsection 4 provides that substantial compliance with the notice requirements shall be sufficient unless the Hearing Examiner or City Council finds that the notice as actually given was not sufficient to give the adjacent landowners special notice. of the pendency of the application. Section III of the Ordinance amends Code Section 9-1106 3 (F) to provide - that Final Plats must be approved, disapproved or returned to th.e subdivider for modification within thirty (.30) -days from date of submission in the absence of consent by the subdivider . 0 . E WEI] MAR CITY CLERK l r: r Barbara Y. Shinpoch and Members of the City Council Page 2 March 29, 1983 Section IV of the Ordinance amends Code Section 4-3017 (C) to provide that an aggrieved party may appeal from the final action of the City 'Council by obtaining a writ of review from the King County Superior Court within thirty (30) days after the date of the action. Several other proposed revisions to the subdivision ordinance were studied by the Planning and Development Committee and were rejected. First of all, the recent legislation authorized the City to change its Short Plat Ordinance to allow up to nine (.9) lots on a Short Plat. This was, rejected by the Planning and Development Committee, particularly in view of recent amendments to our Short Plat Ordinance which have lowered the standards for private roadways in Short Plat Subdivisions . The legislation also adopts a .very confusing procedure known as "binding site plan" . The "binding site plan" concept is a summary platting procedure which appears to be designed to evade the regular planning process for industrial or commercial uses or for division of land for purposes of lease, other than residential structures (except mobile homes or travel trailers) . The "Binding site plan" concept is not mandatory and is to be implemented only when the local municipality' has adopted procedures to approve the site plan concept . This concept was rejected by the Planning and Development Committee based upon the staff recommendation that all major subdivisions of land should be subject, to public hearing and final acceptance by the City Council. At the Council meeting on April 4, 1983 , the attached ordinance will come before you for public hearing upon these proposed revisions to the Subdivision Ordinance. This letter is intended to set forth our office' s position regarding the issues which- we anticipate may be raised at that public hearing. We anticipate that following the public hearing, the City Council will refer the subject matter to the Ways and Means Committee for drafting of appropriate legislation to support the recommendation of the Planning and Development Committee which has already considered this matter. Please contact me if you have any questions.

DEAN, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY ®'D 0� MARK E. BARBER, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY �AF� SEP� March 1, 1983 ZANETTA L.FONTES, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY TO: Planning and Development Committee FROM: Daniel Kellogg, Assistant City Attorney RE: Proposed Revisions to the Subdivision Ordinance Representatives of our office, the Policy Development and the Building and Zoning Department have met concerning the subject matter of the proposed revisions to the Subdivision Ordinance following recent amendments to the Zoning Enabling Act of the State of Washington. There appear to be four items which merit review by the Council . 1 . Short Plat : Amendments to. the Act authorize cities _to_enact-short plat___ordinances which w,.11 provide for up_ t- nine lots , The staff recommendation is that the- City make no modification to its present Short Plat Ordinance,_ particularly in view of recent lowering of standards for private roadways in short subdivisions . 2 . Preliminary Plat Approval : The Act provides that approval of a preliminary plat shall be effective for three years with a possible extension of one year. The staff--recommends that our Subdivision Ordinance be amended to bring our Code into conformity with this requirement . 3 . Notice,: The Act requires that in addition to notice by_publication not less than ten days before the hearing, that the municipality provide for the notification of ..adj-acent__land owners , who are defined in the Act _as the owners of_ real- property as shown on the—records of the County Assessor located within three hundred (300) feet of the boundary of the proposed subdivision, or of the boundary of any parcel or property adjacent to the proposed subdivision which is owned by the developer. The statute appears to give the local authorities great discretion in the determination of the reasonable method of giving special notice in addition to notice by publication. Planning and Development Committee Page 2 March 1, 1983 The staff believes that our present practice of posting notice 'of hearings in addition to the publication of the notice is probably in compliance with the statute.• However, in order to avoid any question of the legality of our subdivision decisions , the staff is recommending that our Subdivision Ordinance be modified to provide for notice in the following, method : a. Continuation of the publication of the notice of hearing not less than ten days before the hearing. b. The posting of notice of the hearing in the form as presently prepared in not less than five places on or adjacent to the parcel in question.. In cases of applications involving large parcels of property , discretion would lie with the agency to provide for a wider posting of the notice of the hearing . c . Notice of the hearing would be mailed to the owners of record of parcels of property within three hundred (.300) feet of the proposed subdivision, or the boundary of any property adjacent to the proposed subdivision which is owned by the developer . This mailing would be mailed by ordinary mail to the addresses listed on the record of the Assessor based upon the list provided by the applicant and certified to be a complete listing of all such owners and their present addresses as disclosed by the records of the King County Assessor. The applicant would further be required to provide copies of the notice and addressed, stamped, envelopes for the convenience of the City in mailing the notice . The Council must be aware of the danger of bending over too far in the desire to give actual notice of quasi- judicial proceedings . The intention of the foregoing recommendation is to shift the burden of determining the accuracy of the list to the applicant , whose interest in the validity of the subdivision is the greatest . Planning and Development Committee Page 3 March 1, 1983 It is certain that errors will occur in terms of the measurement of the three hundred foot distance and the inclusion or exclusion of interested parties . This is the reason for shifting the burden of compliance by the City on to the developer . The Ordinance as adopted should probably provide that substantial compliance with the mail notice procedures shall be sufficient unless the City Council finds that the notice as actually given was not sufficient to apprise the adjacent land owners of the pendency of the application. This provision would cut off technical objections to the City' s jurisdiction to subdivide the property based upon innocent or negligent mistakes in the mailing of the notice of the hearing. 4. Binding Site Plan : The Act adopts a very confusing procedure known as a "binding site plan" . The term "binding site plan" is defined as follows : "Binding Site Plan" means a drawing to a scale specified by local ordinance which : (a) identifies and shows the areas and locations of all streets , roads , improvements , utilities , open spaces , and any other matters specified by local regulations ; (b) contains inscriptions or attachments setting forth such appropriate limitations and conditions for the use of the land as are established by the local government body having authority to approve the site plan; and (c) contains provisions making any development be in conformity with the site plan. " The Act later excepts from the provisions of the platting statute the division of land into lots or tracts which are classified for industrial or commercial use when the governing body of the City has approved a binding site plan for the use of the land in accordance with local regulations . The Act provides that the Binding Site Plan must be filed for record in the office of the Recorder and that the Binding Site Plan is legally enforceable on all persons acquiring ownership of the parcels , and that the sale or transfer of a parcel in violation of the Binding Site Plan is a violation of the platting statute which may be restrained by injunctive action or criminal process . • Planning and Development Committee Page 4 March 1 , 1983 The legislation further excepts from the provisions of the platting statute a division of land for the purposes of lease except when a residential structure other than mobile homes or travel trailers are built to be placed upon the land and the local governmental agency has approved a binding site plan. Our office believes that there is a substantial doubt as to whether the binding site plan concept is in effect because of the Legislature' s incon- sistent amendment of the same section at the same legislative session, and the -Governor ' s item veto of portions of the inconsistent sections . However, for purposes of this discussion, we are taking the conservative position that the binding site plan concept is in effect . It is the recommenda- tion of the staff that the binding site plan concept be enacted into our Subdivision Ordinance with standards of development substantially identical to the provisions of our long plat ordinance . This policy will then ensure that all division of land, whether accomplished by platting or by a binding site plan, will have identical developmental standards , so that the approval of the division of the land will be subject to substantial public input at public hearings prior to final approval by the City Council .
