It is difficult to efficiently accommodate growth in these suburban areas given the multiplicity of jurisdictions which may be affected; and WHEREAS. There is an urgent need for all the jurisdictions in King County to cooperatively plan for and minimize the impacts of growth in this County; and WHEREAS. The County has adopted policy (PI302 - PI305) in the King County Comprehensive Plan which supports cooperation between the County and the Cities in the County in their mutual attempts to efficiently accommodate new growth and development; and WHEREAS, The County Comprehensive Plan recommends that interlocallannin P 9 agreements be used to implement the aforementioned policy; and WHEREAS, The King County Planning Division and Suburban Planning Directors, providing technical support for the elected officials in the Suburban Cities Association, have been working to develop model interlocal agreements and a process for enacting such agreements; and WHEREAS, These Planning Directors, as part of that process, have determined that some standardized terminology would be helpful in referring to the unincorporated territory on the periphery of cities; and WHEREAS, These Planning Directors have agreed that the terms IMPACT AREA, PLANNING AREA, MUNICIPAL SERVICE AREA, and ANNEXATION AREA are appropriate for this purpose as defined in the attachment to this resolution; and WHEREAS, These Planning Directors recommend that the County and the Suburban Cities Association member jurisdictions adopt these terms and agree to use them in discussions and negotiations leading to the adoption of interlocal planning agreements. RESOLUTION NO. 2645 NOW, THEREFORE. BE IT RESOLVED, That the Planning Commission and the City Council for the City of Renton have reviewed the definitions for IMPACT AREA, PLANNING AREA, MUNICIPAL SERVICE AREA, and ANNEXATION AREA (Exhibit "A"). and agree to use these terms in the development of interlocal planning agreements with the County and neighboring jurisdictions. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL this 2nd day of June , 1986. Maxine E. Motor . City Clerk APPROVED BY THE MAYOR this 2nd day of June , 1986. Barbara Y. Shinpoch, Mayor Approved as to form: Lawrence J. Warr City Attorney -2- 1 EXHIBIT "A" RESOLUTION NO. 2645 Impact Area - That area outside of the city limits within which new development or activity is likely to have an impact on the city. Common examples are drainage basins and traffic sheds which surround an established incorporated city. Impact Areas may cross-ridge lines and overlap between adjacent cities. For example, a project on the perimeter of one city may impact an adjacent city; and thus, their mutual impact areas could overlap. Within identified Impact Areas, cities and the County would notify one another of major projects, plans or programs. An Impact Area represents land for which the City has no interest in formulating land use policy, but in which the City has an interest in planning for impacts. Every city should have a part in the S.E.P.A. compliance process for projects proposed within an identified Impact Area. Planning Area - That area outside of the city limits for which a city prepares or participates with the County in the preparation of land use policies. This larger context enables a city to relate the land use plans within the city limits to the policy that applies to lands immediately adjacent. These Planning Areas would be similar units within the King County adopted Community Plan structure. Unlike Impact Areas, there would be no overlap between the Planning Areas of adjacent cities. Municipal Service Area - That area outside of the city limits which is the composite of the city's water, sewer and fire protection franchise areas, together with any areas for which the city has a contractual obligation to serve. Municipal Service Area includes those areas currently being served by the city, as well as those areas which are planned to receive such service in the future. Annexation Area - That area outside of the city limits which the city and the county mutually agree should be annexed. The process for establishing an annexation area would be a joint effort of the staffs and elected officials of both the city and the County. This would include a review of Impact Areas. Planning Areas and Municipal Service Areas and be validated by a public hearing process to solicit the input of the general public, area residents, and other units of local government.
