Agenda Item:
Ordinance Adopting the 2012 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket
Body
Issue:
Council provided direction on four of the five proposals on the 2012 Comprehensive Plan Amendment docket. The Medela proposal was not deliberated on by Council due to an appeal to the SEPA determination issued by Thurston County. Council may review and determine whether to affirm preliminary action by approving the proposed ordinance on first reading.
Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission has made recommendations on all five proposed amendments. Recommendations on the Parks, Arts, and Recreation, French Loop and Butler Cove, South Olympia and Chambers, and Medela proposals were provided to Council for the November 5, 2012 meeting. The Medela recommendation was provided prior to the SEPA appeal. A recommendation regarding the Trillium proposal was provided to Council on November 20, 2012.
City Manager’s Recommendation:
Move to approve the proposed ordinance on first reading and forward to second reading, and table the Medela rezone proposal until the SEPA appeal at the County is resolved.
