FINDINGS OF FACT
Section I — General Findings
1.1 Grant County has experienced and will continue to experience population growth and
accompanying development, resulting in competing demands for public facilities,
services and land uses, and is required to prepare and adopt amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan and land use regulations pursuant to the Growth Management
Act.
1.2 Growth Management requires that land be managed properly and wisely. Otherwise
meeting the demands of a rapidly growing county population is likely to cause urban
and suburban sprawl, commercial strip development, development at inappropriate
locations and densities, damage to environmentally sensitive areas, and the loss of
natural resource lands, rural character, open space, and critical areas. Also, this
pattern of development is likely to create demands for urban services and utilities
that are insufficient to support their extension in a cost-effective manner.
1.3 The 2000 Comprehensive Plan amendment process responds to the environmental
concerns raised during the public hearing process, whole protecting property owners
from unconstitutional takings and substantive due process violations.
1.4 RCW 36.70A.020 sets for a list of 13 goals "to guide the development and adoption
of comprehensive plans and development regulations." In the amendment public
hearing process, and these findings of fact, The Planning Commission has
considered the 13 Growth Management Goals, weighed them as they apply to the
subject matter of these findings, and has attempted to achieve a reasoned balance
among them.
Section 2 - Public Participation
2.1 In September 2000, the Grant County Planning Department solicited petitions for
amendments to the 1999 Comprehensive Plan.
2.2 Petitions received by the planning Department were reviewed by the Board of
County Commissioners, and the Board directed the Planning Department to proceed
with further review of the petitions and to prepare environmental documentation
consistent with the requirements of RC W 43.21 C and Grant County Code Chapter
24.04 (SEPA).

2.3 In accordance with Grant County Code Chapter 25.12 — Legislative Actions, the
Planning Commission held public hearings on May 30, and 31, June 6, and June 14,

2.4 Board of County Commissioners and Planning Commission meetings, hearings,
and study sessions requiring "legal notice" were advertised in the local paper of
record pursuant to the requirements of RCW 36.70 and the Grant County Unified
Development Code. Copies of the proposed amendments, and 2000
Addendum to the Environmental Impact Statement were broadly disseminated for
public and agency review at no charge. All meetings and hearings to which the
public was invited were conducted in an open forum. At hearings, all persons
desiring to speak were given an opportunity to do so. Public testimony and written
correspondence were given full consideration as part of the amendment process.
2.5 The existing enhanced public participation policies within Grant County ensure that
the public had an opportunity to provide meaningful comments on the proposed
amendments.
2.6 The appeal mechanisms contained within Grant County ordinances provide sufficient
due process to allow interested parties an opportunity to respond at a meaningful
time and in a meaningful manner.
