Chapter 17.02 of the Ephrata Municipa. ode outlines procedures for amendments to the City of Ephrata
Comprehensive Plan. Proposed amendments will be considered by the Planning Commission after a public
hearing, and their recommendation will be approved, approved with modifications or denied by the City
Council. With some exceptions, Comprehensive Plan amendments can only be considered once each calendar
year, and all proposed amendments must be considered by staff, the Planning Commission, and the City
Council in order to assess their cumulative impact. The annual deadline for comprehensive plan amendments is
February 15.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: Amend use to an Urban Public Facility Zone for a County Jail
CURRENT REQUESTED
DESIGNATION DESIGNATION
LAND USE PLAN MAP: RRC-LAMRID & RR1 Urban Public Facility Zone
Reason/Rationale for proposed Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment — Address how the proposal satisfies the
standards of review in 17.02.050 Ephrata Municipal Code:
1. The establishment of a Urban Public Facility Zone (4.4.2.4) at this location will not adversely affect
public health, safety and general welfare; and will enhance public safety.
----------------------- -
2. The amendment is needed to bring the three designated parcels into full compliance with the Comprehensive
plan. As intended by the Growth Management Act (GMA) this process allows Cities and Counties to
periodically re -address siting of essential public facilities as it is not alway possible to predict future needs or
growth. Building outside of the UGA is permitted for essential public facilities under the Growth Management
3. Providing a common location for public facilities will benefit the community by co -locating services in one
convenient area. This will benefit the community as a whole with improve efficiency of services and allow

to local roads, public transportion and will allow local public agencies to share capital facilities to support
