WHEREAS, the Grant County Board of Commissioners have established the following
ten "Findings of Fact" supporting their approval of this zone change:
1. The proposed rezone will not be contrary to the intent or purposes and regulations
of the Grant County Code or the Comprehensive Plan;
2. The property in question is suitable for uses allowed under the proposed zoning
district;
3. Uses allowed under the proposed zone change are compatible with neighboring
land uses;
4. The proposed rezone can be served by adequate facilities including access, fire
protection, water, storm -water control, and sewage disposal facilities;
5. Substantial changes exist to warrant an amendment to the current zoning district;
6. A public need exists for the proposed rezone. Public need shall mean that a valid
public purpose, for which the comprehensive plan and this chapter have been
adopted, is served by the proposed rezone.
7. The proposed rezone will not result in significant adverse impacts on the human
or natural environments that cannot be mitigated by conditions of approval;
8. The cumulative impact of additional requests for like actions (the total of the
rezones over time or space) will not produce significant adverse effects to the
environment that cannot be mitigated by conditions of approval:
9. The pedestrian and vehicular traffic associated with the rezone will not be
hazardous to existing and anticipated traffic in the neighborhood; and
10. The proposed zoning district does not include any allowable use or activity that
would result in the location of an incompatible use adjacent to an airport or
airfield (RCW 36.70).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of County Commissioners
hereby approve these zone changes: in accordance with the attached map to reflect the
Grant County Airport Master Plan for development.
