rezone of these five properties, and made a recommendation to deny this request. In their
review, the Planning Advisory Commission members asked questions of staff and the
applicant and then heard public comment on the proposal . Based upon the evaluation of
the rezone criteria, the Planning Advisory Commission adopted a motion with findings (5

nearby properties . Using these Comprehensive Plan policies , the rezone of the subject
parcel is appropriate for the Rural Residential 5 zone designation .

Criterion 1 (no damage to public health, safety and welfare) is met; based upon staff
evaluation .
Criterion 2 (consistent Comprehensive Plan designation) is met ; based upon
testimony that the Rural Residential 5 designation is the most consistent

upon staff evaluation.

areas) is met ; based upon testimony and Commission discussion that an
easement for services of the urban growth area can be provided.

conserve fish and wildlife habitat, and protect air and water quality) is met ;
based upon staff evaluation .

greater than projected population increases in rural areas) is met; based upon
testimony and Commission discussion that no precedent is created in regard to a
change in zoning of long-term agriculture land is applicable to other UGA areas .
Criterion 8 (corrective rezone of lands) is not applicable to this request .
From the preceding findings , the Mason County Board of Commissioners approves the
request to rezone for parcel numbers 1232942 - 00020 ( 1 . 11 ac . ) , 1232942 - 00030 (5 . 44
