Under consideration are the proposed changes to the Mason County Development Regulations, by adding to section 1.02.043 Rural Commercial zone definitions and adding a new Section 1.04.360 Rural Commercial 5 zone permitted uses and development standards, under the authority of Chapters 36.70 and 36.70A RCW. 2. The Mason County Development Regulations sets forth clear development standards and procedures to evaluate and approve proposed development and land divisions in Mason County. 3. The Department of Community Development presented the revisions to establish a new Rural Commercial 5 zone permitted uses and development standards for open display vehicle sales land uses, and the review of certain parcels in the Rural Area of Mason County having such existing land uses. 4. At the November 20, 2006 Mason County Planning Advisory Commission meeting, the Planning Advisory Commission members discussed the establishment of the proposed Rural Commercial 5 zone and the review of five subject parcels with existing open display vehicle sales land uses, heard public comments, and then passed a motion to recommend approval of the new Rural Commercial 5 zone and designation of two of these parcels in the Mason County. 5. At the December 12, 2006 public hearing, the Board of County Commissioners considered the recommendations of the Planning Advisory Commission, and the testimony of Department of Community Development staff and citizens regarding the review of the new Rural Commercial 5 zone and designation of two parcels in that new zone. FROM THE PRECEDING FINDINGS, and based upon the staff report, proposed revisions, and public testimony, the Mason County Board of Commissioners adopts a motion to approve the proposed changes to the Mason County Development Regulations, adding the Section 1.04.360 Rural Commercial 5 zone and designating two Rural Area parcels as Rural Commercial 5 zone. do,/ et-L9 Chair, Mason County Board of Commissioner Date ��I1❑I1 0 li � 1 0 CC w 0 L.L CC 11 ,i. , r_rn �) D o 011 J 4) rei 0 y It :iral Comm d %Till a I Tr' En, rn , 4Art n-17 brrnnil MnrP Led Led 1 Y s B.&S S '1JS S 6.-b B,! lie 6,J11 Ac/'l.d- IL JL `LJ 1L A Sales L L JL1 -- aj --ma 0 5 rn imi CD g 0a Cr) 0 ID o rn va A ITTA CH1 'ENT J:\GMSHARE\DEV-REGS\comp plan amendments\2006 regulation review\Dev Regs rural commercial MASON C O ' Nl'Y D KV ELOPMF,NAl REGULATIONS 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1.020043 Rural Commercial There are four types of Rural Commercial districts. These districts provide for a variety of commercial areas reflecting the diversity of existing business areas. Parcels with this designation that are located within RACs, hamlets, ICIAs, and other areas designated under RCW 36.70A.070`5)(d)(i) ("Di T AMIRDs") shall be principally designed to serve the existing and projected rural population. The County's primary method of such design is to limit building size, height, and floor to area ratios so that businesses of such size and intensity will ordinarily be oriented towards primarily serving the existing and projected rural population. Isolated T ,AMIRDs ("D2 and D3 T ,AMIRDs") of a commercial nature are not required to be principally designed to serve the rural population. 'T hese isolated commercial T ,AMf RDs, however, shall protect rural character, which is defined at RCW 36.70A.030(14), by containing and limiting rural development, by not being in conflict with surrounding uses and by assuring that such development is visually compatible with the surrounding area. The County's primary method of achieving such purpose is by providing for buffer yards, limiting the character of rezones, by limiting building size, height, and floor to area ratios in such a way as to be appropriate for the rural areas. Public services and facilities shall not be provided so as to permit low intensity sprawl. Rural Commercial 1 (RC 1) (See Section 1.040320) Rural Commercial 2 (RC 2) (See Section 1.04.330) C.
