o Acknowledgement of Existing Guiding Documents:
A partial list of existing documents to be referenced in the strategic plan was
discussed.
o Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) Analysis:
Responses to a consultant-led survey were reviewed and discussed; additional input was captured and discussed. Survey questions aimed at helping the group identified characteristics of the City that are within the City’s
control—strengths and weaknesses—as well as external factors over which the City has no control—opportunities and threats.
The group discussed the work progressing with Our Valley Our Future’s game changing initiative “One Community” and how that model can be used to collaborate with external partners. Further discussion led to group consensus
on the value of continued, regular communications with public service partners. A group like the Community Leadership Advisory Group can provide relationship building, mutual trust and vision. There are opportunities for such a group to provide reporting back to participating entities and to operate under a memorandum of understanding that would lend greater
weight to the group’s recommendations.
o Big Hairy Audacious Goal or “BHAG”:
In strategic planning, frequently there are multiple critical issues that surface from the SWOT analysis that can be broken down into manageable goals, objectives, and strategies. Sometimes one overarching issue dominates, and
appears difficult to breakdown. This can inform a BHAG. The City’s lack of control of many of the services its citizens depend on (eg. water, sewer), and the critical nature of the relationships with the partners who provide those services are significant contributors to a BHAG.
The group discussed this issue and the BHAG at length.
12:10 Break for Lunch
12:40 Meeting reconvened
o Our Value Our Future (OVOF) SWOT Analysis:
The group discussed OVOF stakeholder survey responses in comparison to the City’s above-mentioned SWOT analysis.
o Review of a Draft Strategic Plan Template:
501 Consultants presented a draft Strategic Plan Template populated with statements taken from some of the City’s guiding documents to help inform Plan development. There was discussion and brainstorming directed at Plan development.
o Identify Process to Continue Plan Development
Ideas were discussed to start and continue the process of developing and completing a strategic plan.

North: Single-family and multifamily residential South: Professional offices and a retail garden center
East: Single-family homes, apartments, professional offices, and
the Douglas County Fire District headquarters
West: Single-family homes and commercial uses
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. Historical: The subject property’s proposal to amend the GEWA Comprehensive Plan map designation is in conjunction with the property’s recent
change in use. On October 12, 2018, a conditioned decision of approval was
made by the City of East Wenatchee Hearing Examiner regarding a Conditional
Use Permit and side yard setback Variance to operate a funeral chapel facility.
Through the applicants proposal to not utilize body preparation service or cremation, but rather conduct administrative and viewing services only, the
proposal’s impacts were interpreted to be similar to that of a church facility. The
use as a funeral chapel facility was found to be in compliance with the
Residential High Density/Office zoning district development regulations and
associated conditional uses.
The construction and full conversion of the existing single family residence into
the funeral service facility is not complete at this time. There will be 3,075 square
feet on the first floor for a reception area, offices, a selection room, restrooms,
and a multipurpose room. There will be an 800 square foot attached garage. The
basement will be expanded to 1,655 square feet for offices, a restroom and storage. The building will be wood frame construction. Extensive landscaping is
proposed around the perimeter of the site, surrounding the building and within
the parking lot.
A site plan is attached as Exhibit B to this staff report. Exhibit C includes
elevation drawings showing the proposed building from all angles. The applicant is intending to demolish the upper story of the existing building and retain the
foundation/basement area.
B. Circulation: The subject property is accessed from Eastmont Avenue.
Eastmont Avenue is a north-south, public street, classified as a principal arterial.
The street is fully improved with curb, gutter and sidewalks on both sides of the street with one travel lane in each direction and a continuous center, left-turn
lane. Although the property has frontage on 4th St. NE, no vehicular access is
permitted to that street in accordance with the prohibition stated on the recorded
binding site plan.

Staff Report CPA2018-01 Chapel of the Valley February 26, 2019 Page 3
The existing driveway on the north side of the property will be eliminated. The
driveway will be relocated to the south property line adjacent to the neighboring commercial use. A street cut permit and traffic control plan will be required.
A parking lot for 30 vehicles will be constructed west of the structure. Due to the
proposed use of the site, the parking configuration will be a series of aisles rather
than a typical parking lot design. The garage will provide parking for business
vehicles.
IV. PROJECT ANALYSIS
A. Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is within the study area of the Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan (GEWA Plan). The
Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property, the properties east of
Eastmont Avenue, and north and west of the subject property as suitable for
residential high/office use. The properties south of the subject property are
designated as central business district for commercial use. The GEWA Plan designations of adjacent properties are listed below and shown on Exhibit A.
North: Residential high Density/Office (R-H)
South: Central Business District (CBD)
East: Residential high Density/Office (R-H) West: Residential high Density/Office (R-H)
The following description for the residential high/office land use designation is
from Chapter 3 – Land Use in the GEWA Plan:
Residential High/Office
Residential High/Office designation is a land use category that
would allow a range of housing choices and a limited range of office style commercial opportunities for low intensity personal and
professional services. This district is a transition designation
providing a buffer between lower density land uses and higher
intensity uses such as between residential and commercial uses or
areas along major transportation routes where the intensity of activities on adjacent land make it less attractive for low density
residential uses.
Urban governmental services and infrastructure must be available at the
time of development or there must be a plan in place, with funding, to insure
that a full range of urban governmental services is available to serve the development.
The Residential High/Office designation should be applied in areas
along existing or planned arterial/collector transportation corridors
and areas adjacent to commercial nodes. Development of this land
use type should adhere to design standards to achieve compatible scale and design to enhance the livability and appearance of the
community. These projects should be configured to be transit-
oriented, pedestrian friendly, and provide affordable housing. This
04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 67 of 133
Staff Report CPA2018-01 Chapel of the Valley February 26, 2019 Page 4
land use designation is also intended to provide a location for low
intensity office space. (Page 33)
The subject property proposes to change the GEWA land use designation from
Residential High Density/Office (R-H) to Central Business District (CBD). This
proposed change in comprehensive plan designation would match the properties
bordering to the south also designated as Central Business District (CBD).
The following description for the commercial business district land use designation is from Chapter 3 – Land Use in the GEWA Plan:
Central Business District
The Central Business District generally follows a north to south
direction as it follows Valley Mall Parkway and a west to east
direction as it follows Grant Road. To ensure commercial development is compatible with surrounding uses and the general
character of the community, design criteria has been developed
that promotes street trees along major corridors, and stresses
architectural and landscaping design to create pleasant and
attractive developments. New development should be designed to be transit oriented, pedestrian friendly, and provide open spaces.
Within the CBD there are existing land uses that are not permitted
under the existing zoning regulations for that district. The CBD
designation should be analyzed periodically during the
development of the zoning districts regulations to determine the appropriate land uses for various locations. In the future, it may be
appropriate to separate this district into smaller sub-districts to
better address the particular land uses that currently exist and to
insure that existing and proposed land uses are compatible. This
analysis should also evaluate the infrastructure existing and planned for those areas with regards to the needs of the particular
land uses. (Page 35)
The following goals and policies in the comprehensive plan relate to the
proposed project.
Chapter 3 Land Use Goals:
3. Establish commercial areas that accommodate a variety of land use
activities to support a diverse and stable economic base while maintaining the quality of life in the community and the natural environment.
4. Provide an opportunity for mixed-use areas in locations where residential and commercial land uses can develop in a manner that is complimentary to
neighboring properties and/or will establish and sustain unique character areas
for individual neighborhoods.
Policies:
C-2. Commercial development should provide well designed buffer areas to
insure that the land use is complimentary and compatible with adjacent land uses.
04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 68 of 133
Staff Report CPA2018-01 Chapel of the Valley February 26, 2019 Page 5
C-3 Adopt consistent design standards for development in commercial districts to insure that proposed uses are complimentary and compatible with adjacent land
uses. The standards should address landscaping, pedestrian access, vehicular
access, traffic control, signage and other amenities ensuring that commercial uses will enhance and contribute to the natural attractiveness of the community.
C-7 Promote appropriately buffered multi-family residential and office
development compatible with existing and potential commercial activities. Such uses should be permitted as transition between high-intensity uses (e.g.
commercial) and low-intensity uses (e.g. single-family residential).
C-8 Require interior and perimeter landscaping which will provide an attractive entrance environment for commercial development, soften parking lots, provide
shade, and screen unsightly areas.
C-13 Expand commercial uses adjacent to existing similarly developed areas.
Chapter 4 Housing
Goals:
2. To maintain quality of life in residential neighborhoods by protecting residential properties from excessive noise, visual, air and water pollution.
4. To provide opportunities for a mixture of commercial and residential land uses developed in a coordinated and complimentary manner in designated mixed
use areas.
Policies: H-2 Provide flexibility in development regulations to encourage infill
development in areas with adequate public services in a manner that
ensures compatibility with the character of the existing neighborhood.
H-3 Develop design standards that provide a transition between residential uses
and high intensity commercial or industrial developments.
H-4 Apply consistent standards in residential development to preserve residential character
Chapter 8 Transportation
Policies: T-6 As public and private development occurs, ensure that transportation
systems improvements have adequate streets, sidewalks and walkways;
and are consistent with the transportation and adopted system design.
T-7 Ensure that current and future developments provide proper, adequate and
safe access to the transportation system and facilities.
• Provision for adequate parking must be included for all development
• Natural and artificial landscaping should be considered in the design of system facilities
• Traffic calming techniques should be required when there are conflicts between transportation modes.
Chapter 10 Economic Development Goal: Diversify and strengthen the local economy to ensure a sustainable community for
present and future generations.
04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 69 of 133
Staff Report CPA2018-01 Chapel of the Valley February 26, 2019 Page 6
Policy: ED-2 Support and encourage economic development that will increase personal
income by attracting a variety of business opportunities that provide family-wage
jobs.
B. Comprehensive plan amendments require an analysis of the impact of the
proposed change in relation to neighboring properties and the general plan of
development for the community. While the Municipal Code does not contain
specific criteria to be used in evaluating proposals to change land use designations, the general practice is to consider the following questions:
1. What is the current use of the site?
Applicant’s Response: The site is currently used as a residential rental.
2. Please describe adjacent land uses in all directions around the subject
property. Applicant’s Response: The sites north of the proposed property
are currently residential homes. There is a fire station to the
east of the property and a commercial nursey just south of the
proposed property. A residential subdivision through-street sits just west of the proposed property as well.
3. A detailed statement how the proposed amendment is consistent with the
Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A), the Greater East Wenatchee Area
Comprehensive Plan, and applicable policies in the Douglas County
Regional Policy Plan. Applicant’s Response: The proposed property falls within the
City of East Wenatchee, which is part of the Urban Growth
Area. Additionally, the property is adjacent to public
transportation, which provides ease of use to patrons of the
proposed property, as well as encourages those patrons to utilize this service. The property is not located in any critical
areas and will not negatively affect them with the proposed
infrastructure.
4. (RCW35.70A), the Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan, and
applicable policies in the Douglas County Regional Policy Plan. Applicant’s Response: The proposed site fits the goals and
vision of the Greater East Wenatchee comprehensive plan.
Specifically, this proposed site will enhance the adjacent
residential area, while also adding beauty to the Commercial
Business District. This proposed site will add several jobs in the City of East Wenatchee and the site encourages pedestrian foot traffic by the use of pedestrian right- of-ways as well as create
ease of use for public transportation.
5. A detailed statement explaining why the proposed land use designation is
more appropriate for the site than the existing land use designation. Applicant’s Response: The proposed site is currently a
residential rental in the Residential High zone, but will cease to
04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 70 of 133
Staff Report CPA2018-01 Chapel of the Valley February 26, 2019 Page 7
fit this category in the near future as the tenants are vacating
the property. The owner proposes to demolish the current above-grade structure to assembly occupancy for chapel
gatherings, while retaining the current below-grade
infrastructure for business occupancy. The adjacent properties
to the south fall within the Central Business District, and
although the proposed property passes the conditional use, it will be better suited to permanently be adopted into the Central
Business District. Since this structure is being built to suit, there
are no appropriate sites within the Central Business District to fit
the space needs of the structure as well as give ease of access
for patrons. 6. A statement explaining how the site is suitable for the proposed designation
and that there is a lack of appropriately designated alternative sites in the
vicinity.
Applicant’s Response: The current site is most suitable for the
proposed designation because it supplies the needed size requirements, off-street parking, and location for the needs of
the owner and proposed building. The location is easily
accessible to patrons of the facility and is adjacent to
commercial businesses. The proposed building will add much
needed architectural interest to the area and will be visually appealing on one of the highly active roadways in East
Wenatchee, while keeping a low-profile to fit in with the
residential buildings adjacent to the site. Other sites in this
vicinity do not meet this need, both in location
exposure/accessibility and desired size. 7. Will the proposed amendment adversely affect lands designated as resource
lands of long term commercial significance or critical areas?
Applicant’s Response: The proposed amendment will in no
way adversely affect lands designated as resource lands of
long term commercial significance or critical areas. 8. Are public facilities, infrastructure and transportation systems present to serve
the intended land use amendment or have provisions been made in
accordance with the EWMC to provide the necessary facilities?
Applicant’s Response: The site is closely located to public
transportation, emergency services, dining establishments, and public-right-of-ways. There will be no need to provide and
additional facilities.
C. Staff comments addressing the findings:
1. As mentioned in Section IV(A) above, the proposal is compatible with and implements the comprehensive plan goals and policies.
2. The design of the facility is similar in character to the residences in the
surrounding neighborhood.
04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 71 of 133
Staff Report CPA2018-01 Chapel of the Valley February 26, 2019 Page 8
3. The landscaping and design of the proposal ensures there will not be a
negative impact to the surrounding neighborhood. 4. The R-H District permits up to 24 dwelling units per acre. Traffic generated
by multifamily housing averages 6.10 average daily trips (ADT). The
subject property could accommodate 17 apartments which could generate
104 ADT or 10 peak hour trips. The proposed project has sporadic periods
of 20 to 30 vehicles per hour. Although generating a higher hourly trip rate, the anticipated trip hours would typically not be AM or PM peaks and
would therefore be unlikely to impact the traffic patterns in the
neighborhood.
5. As mentioned previously, water, sewer, irrigation water, and power are all
available to the subject property. 6. Given that this area is a mix of uses and the property is located on a high
traffic corridor, the proposed use, as conditioned will not have an adverse
impact on the neighbors.
7. The proposal has been designed to fit in with the neighborhood. The
parking area is in the center of the property minimizing the visual impact to the neighbors. The driveway has been relocated to the south side of the
property and away from the residential properties to the north.
8. The site has been designed with extensive landscaping along the
perimeter and within the parking area effectively screening the site and
providing a residential character to the facility.
The proposed project complies with all the criteria listed above.
C. Countywide Planning Policies. The Growth Management Act (GMA) is
structured in a way that not only encourages but also requires local governments
to work together to address common issues. One of the first tasks mandated by
the GMA was for counties to work with their cities and towns to establish countywide planning policies as a framework of policies to direct the adoption
and amendment of comprehensive plans and development regulations.
Douglas County’s countywide planning policy is the Douglas County Regional
Policy Plan (Policy Plan). The Policy Plan contains policies specific to the
adoption and amendment of comprehensive plans and development regulations.
Proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan, which do not include a
change to the urban growth area boundary, and amendments to development
regulations are to be processed by the respective city or town and, after
adoption, transmitted to Douglas County for processing.
D. Environmental Review: An Environmental Checklist was prepared on July 9, 2018. A threshold determination and environmental review pursuant to RCW
43.21C the State Environmental Policy Act was completed, and a Determination
of Non-significance was issued on January 11, 2019 with a comment period
ending on January 28, 2019. On January 13, 2019, the DNS was advertised in
The Wenatchee World and the property was posted.
E. State Review: RCW 36.70A.106 requires submittal of amendments to
comprehensive plans and development regulations to the Washington State
04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 72 of 133
Staff Report CPA2018-01 Chapel of the Valley February 26, 2019 Page 9
Department of Commerce (Commerce) for a 60-day review. The proposal was
submitted to Commerce on December 18, 2018. The 60-day review period terminated on February 18, 2019. No comments were received from Commerce
or other agencies receiving the proposed amendment documents.
F. Public Comments: A Notice of Public Hearing was published in The Wenatchee
World and sent to the property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on
February 15, 2019.
V. PLANNING SUMMARY
Planning Staff Comments: Staff offers findings of fact and conclusions in Section VI of this Staff Report for consideration by the Planning Commission. The statements in that
section may be modified by the Planning Commission as appropriate to support the
decision and recommendation to the City Council.
The properties south of the subject parcel are zoned and designated as Central
Business District as well as much of the area extending east and west there after. The existing zoning classification provides a transition between residential uses and
commercial uses due to the Residential High Density/Office district permitting uses for
personal and professionals offices. Included with the chapel facility’s proposal, the
applicant has made efforts to retain residential qualities although intending to use the
property for professional services. Through residential-like landscaping, parking and vehicle access adjustments the property should have less impact on the surrounding
residences. Maintaining these residential-like qualities provides an appropriate transition
between the two land use types and allows for the full utilization of a parcel for a less
intensive commercial use.
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the proposed Comprehensive Map Designation Amendment.
VI. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
A. FINDINGS OF FACT

public transit stop near the property on 9th.
2. Colorado Ave. is a north-south, public street that is classified as local access.
The street is paved with no curbs gutters or sidewalks within a right of way that varies in width from 50 to 30 feet.
IV. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL
A. Comprehensive Plan: The Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan
(GEWA Plan) was adopted by the city of East Wenatchee and Douglas County. The GEWA Plan has been amended several times, most recently in 2018. The
subject property currently has a split designation with part of the property
designated Low Residential and part of it designated as Residential High/Office.
The GEWA Plan designations of adjacent properties are listed below and shown
on Exhibit A.
North: Medium Density Residential
South: High Density Residential/Office
East: Low Density Residential and High Density Residential/Office
West: High Density Residential/Office
Background: The 1998 East Wenatchee Comprehensive Plan designated the entire area between Baker Ave. and Eastmont Ave, south of 9th St., as residential
high/office. During the process of changing the zoning, to be consistent with the
comprehensive plan designation, the property owners along N. Devon Ave. –
south of 9th St. NE - objected to the change due to the narrow street. They were
concerned that residential high density development would adversely impact their street since there was a lot over one acre in size at the corner of 8th St. NE (a
short cul-de-sac) and N. Devon Ave that could potentially have 24 dwelling units
on it based upon the allowed density. That lot is addressed as 824 N. Devon
Ave. The City agreed and created an island of low residential for all properties
fronting on N. Devon Ave. However, the entire junior high school site remained
04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 93 of 133
Staff Report CPA/ZC 2018-04 EW Investments Page 3
within the residential high/office designation and the zoning was then changed to
Residential High Density/Office for that property.
In 2007, a boundary line adjustment was completed reducing the size of the 824
N. Devon Ave. lot and increasing the old junior high school site property. It
should be noted that the portion of the 824 N. Devon Ave lot that was combined
with the school site was substantially lower in elevation than the street and at the
same grade as the junior high school playground site.
Subsequently, the Eastmont Plaza project was developed on the property with
the conversion of the old gym to a commercial recreation facility, the conversion
of the old junior high school to offices, and the construction of the office/storage
building on the subject property. The development of the site was followed with
the processing of a short plat creating individual lots for all the buildings within that complex. Unfortunately, no one realized that part of the Eastmont Plaza site
had remained within the low residential designation. The proposed amendment
will correct that error.
The following description of the residential high/office land use designation is
from Chapter 3 – Land Use in the GEWA Plan:
Residential High/Office
The Residential High/Office designation is a land use category that
would allow a range of housing choices and a limited range of office
style commercial opportunities for low intensity personal and
professional services. This district is a transition designation providing a buffer between lower density land uses and higher
intensity uses such as between residential and commercial uses or
areas along major transportation routes where the intensity of
activities on adjacent land make it less attractive for low density
residential uses.
Urban governmental services and infrastructure must be available
at the time of development or there must be a plan in place, with
funding, to ensure that a full range of urban governmental services
is available to serve the development.
The Residential High/Office designation should be applied in areas along existing or planned arterial/collector transportation corridors
and areas adjacent to commercial nodes. Development of this land
use type should adhere to design standards to achieve compatible
scale and design to enhance the livability and appearance of the
community. These projects should be configured to be transit-oriented, pedestrian friendly, and provide affordable housing. This
land use designation is also intended to provide a location for low
intensity office space.
Residential densities allowed in the Residential High/Office land
use category should be up to 24 dwelling units per acre with a target density of at least 8 dwelling units per acre. (Pages 33-34 GEWA
Plan)
The following goals in the GEWA Plan support the development pattern and intensity represented by the use of the subject property.
04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 94 of 133
Staff Report CPA/ZC 2018-04 EW Investments Page 4
Chapter 3 - Land Use Goal 4: Provide an opportunity for mixed-use
areas in locations where residential and commercial land uses can develop in a manner that is complimentary to neighboring properties
and/or will establish and sustain unique character areas for individual
neighborhoods.
Chapter 4 - Housing Goal 4: To provide opportunities for a mixture of
commercial and residential land uses developed in a coordinated and complimentary manner in designated mixed-use areas
Comprehensive plan amendments require an analysis of the impact of the
proposed change in relation to neighboring properties and the general plan of
development for the community.
1. How is the proposed amendment consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA) (RCW 36.70A), the Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive
Plan, and applicable policies in the Douglas County Regional Policy Plan.
Response: The subject property is a logical extension of the residential
high/office designation since it is physically isolated from the low residential
designated properties on N. Devon Ave. The comprehensive plan envisions this designation as a buffer between low intensity residential and commercial
designations. Other than the island of low-residential along N. Devon Ave, the
general area on the south side of 9th St. NE is designated as residential
high/office. The proposal is consistent with the intent in the comprehensive
plan to allow low intensity office space within the residential high/office designation. is consistent with the intent of the comprehensive plan for the
designation of lands for residential high/office development. The GMA and
Douglas County Regional Policy Plan have no specific policies or
requirements for land use designation changes.
2. Why is the proposed land use designation more appropriate for the site than the existing land use designation?
Response: The original reason for the low residential designation was to limit
the intensity of development that would use N. Devon Ave. for access. As
mentioned previously, the property is fully developed. The subject property is
only accessed from 9th St. NE or Colorado Ave and as such, the proposed change will have no adverse traffic impact on N. Devon Ave. As noted above,
part of the subject property is already designated for residential high/office
use. The proposed amendment will eliminate the inconsistency with the dual
designation of the subject property.
3. How is the site suitable for the proposed designation and is there is a lack of appropriately designated alternative sites in the vicinity?
Response: The site is currently being used for low intensity office space
which is one of the purposes intended for the residential high/office
designation according to the description in the GEWA Plan. The site is
suitable for the proposed land use designation since it is part of the Eastmont Plaza complex utilizing shared driveways, parking, and landscaping. This is a
logical expansion of the residential high/office designation that surrounds the
subject property.
04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 95 of 133
Staff Report CPA/ZC 2018-04 EW Investments Page 5
4. Will the proposed amendment adversely affect lands designated as resource
lands of long-term commercial significance or critical areas?
Response: No, there are no resource lands of long-term commercial
significance or critical areas on the subject property or in the vicinity.
5. Are public facilities, infrastructure and transportation systems present to serve
the intended land use amendment or have provisions been made in
accordance with the EWMC to provide the necessary facilities?
Response: Yes, all public facilities are available to the site. The property has
been developed with an on-site stormwater system and a blanket easement for
access and parking.
The re-development of the old junior high school into low intensity personal and
professional offices created a mixed-use pattern of development that preserves the character of the adjoining neighborhood. The proposal is consistent with the
description of the residential high/office designation and implements the goals in
the GEWA Plan for a mixture of residential and commercial uses.
B. Zoning: The property currently has a split designation with part of the property
designated Residential Low Density (R-L) and part of it designated as Residential High Density/Office (R-H).
Exhibit A to this staff report is a Vicinity Map showing the proposed rezone area
and the existing designations of the subject property and neighboring properties.
North: Residential Medium Density (R-M) South: Residential High Density/Office East: Residential Low Density and Residential High Density/Office
West: Residential High Density/Office
The R-H District permits all uses allowed in the R-L and R-M District as well as
general and professional offices.
Section IV(A) above explains how the property has been developed and the issue with the dual designations. The proposal under consideration will change
the zoning as well as the comprehensive plan designation.
C. Countywide Planning Policies. The Growth Management Act (GMA) is
structured in a way that not only encourages but also requires local governments
to work together to address common issues. One of the first tasks mandated by the GMA was for counties to work with their cities and towns to establish
countywide planning policies as a framework of policies to direct the adoption
and amendment of comprehensive plans and development regulations.
Douglas County’s countywide planning policy is the Douglas County Regional
Policy Plan (Policy Plan). The Policy Plan contains policies specific to the adoption and amendment of comprehensive plans and development regulations.
Proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan, which do not include a
change to the urban growth area boundary, and amendments to development
regulations are to be processed by the respective city or town and, after
adoption, transmitted to Douglas County for processing.
D. Environmental Review: An Environmental Checklist was prepared on January
11, 2019. A threshold determination and environmental review pursuant to RCW
04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 96 of 133

The Wenatchee World and the property was posted.
E. State Review: RCW 36.70A.106 requires submittal of amendments to
comprehensive plans and development regulations to the Washington State
Department of Commerce (Commerce) for a 60-day review. The proposal was submitted to Commerce on December 18, 2018. The 60-day review period
terminated on February 18, 2019. No comments were received from Commerce
or other agencies receiving the proposed amendment documents.

MEMORANDUM
To: East Wenatchee Planning Commission
From: Lori Barnett, Director
Date: February 26, 2019
Subject: CPRZ-2018-03 - proposed comprehensive plan map amendment initiated
by Douglas County
The proposal under consideration is:
CPRZ-2018-03 – An application initiated by Douglas County for a comprehensive plan land use map amendment and rezone from Office High Residential to
General Commercial involving 3 parcels totaling approximately 6.7 acres owned
by Doyle Hansbrough (APN 40200005601), State of Washington (APN
40200005602), and the Chelan County PUD (APN 40200005604). The
properties are located on SR 28, within the SW Quarter of Section 13, Township 22 N., Range 20 EWM, Douglas County.
This proposal was reviewed by the East Wenatchee Planning Commission at the
December 4, 2018 workshop.
It should be noted that the Douglas County Staff Report and Ordinance mistakenly
indicate that the properties are within the Countywide Comprehensive plan when in fact, they are within the planning area of the Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive
Plan.
The Douglas County Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 14,
2018 and unanimously recommended approval of the proposal. See Attachment B for
the Summary Minutes of that hearing.
The Douglas County Commissioners passed Ordinance TLS 19-03-01D on January 22,
2019 approving the comprehensive plan amendment and rezone of the properties. (See

04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 118 of 133
IV. AGENCY AND PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Douglas County initiated the 60-day review on September 11, 2018. The SEPA
comment period concluded on November 13, 2018. During the public review period , no
public or agency comments were received.
V. PROJECT ANALYSIS
CPRZ-2018-03 proposes a site-specific comprehensive plan amendment and rezone of
three (3) parcels from the current zoning of Residential High Density/Office (R-H) to
General Commercial (G-C). The three parcels are located south of East Wenatchee city
limits along SR 28 and total approximately 6.7 acres. They are identified as Assessor's
Parcel Numbers (APN): 40200005601 , 40200005602 and 40200005604. The parcels
contain portions of SR 28 and the Apple Capital Loop Trail with the majority of land
being vacant, shrub-steppe sloping down to the Columbia River.
The purpose of the proposal is to square up an irregular boundary of the G-C zoning
district that was created by the approval of CPRZ-2017-01 which did not include these
three parcels.
Growth Management Act Review:
Planning Goals RCW 36 .70A020(1) Urban growth: encourages development where
adequate public facilities and services exist and can be provided in an efficient manner.
Planning Goals RCW 36.70A020(5) Economic Development: encourages economic
development through promotion of opportunity for all citizens and the recruitment of new
businesses.
RCW 36.70A115(1): Amendments to comprehensive plans and development
regulations shall provide sufficient capacity of land suitable for development, to include
employment growth and commercial facilities.
Analysis: A rezone of the three subject parcels from R-H to G-C would eliminate
the risk of incompatible, piecemeal development and would promote the
continuation ofcommercial development along the SR 28 corridor. The proposal
would also eliminate irregular zoning boundaries, which is encouraged in the
GMA RCW 36. 70A.
Douglas County Regional Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Review:
As shown on the map on page 3 of Attachment A, the proposal is located within the
Shoreline Residential shoreline environment. The parcels identified as 40200005601
and 40200005604 are completely within shoreline jurisdiction. Only a portion of the
southern half of parcel 40200005602 is within shoreline jurisdiction.
Staff Report
CPRZ-2018-03

04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 119 of 133
2.1 Economic Development Element:
OBJECTIVE 3: Insure that any economic activity taking place in the shoreline operates
in a manner that protects shoreline ecological functions and processes. Unavoidable
impacts should be minimized and mitigated.
OBJECTIVE 5: Proposed economic use of the shoreline should be consistent with local
comprehensive plans and this Program.
3.6 Shoreline Residential Environment:
POLICY 4: Access, utilities, and public services should be available and adequate to
serve existing needs and/or planned future development.
POLICY 5: Commercial development should be limited to water-oriented uses.
Analysis: As stated in the SMP, all proposed uses and development occurring
within the shoreline jurisdiction must conform to RCW 90.58 Shoreline
Management Act and this Program.
Consistent with allowed housing uses in the G-C zoning district, the SMP allows
for commercial development as well as multi-family urban densities within the
shoreline residential shoreline environment at 5 dwelling units per acre.
The proposal is consistent with the Douglas County Regional Shoreline Master
Program.
Douglas County Municipal Code Critical Areas -Chapter 19.180 Geologically
Hazardous Areas:
The southeast portions of all three subject parcels are located with the critical area for
geologically hazardous areas, identified as "torriorthents, very steep."
Uses and activities allowed within designated geologically hazardous areas are those
uses permitted by the zoning district, subject to the provisions of this chapter.
Analysis: Any structures proposed for the areas identified as geologically
hazardous would require review and analysis by a qualified geo-professional.
Any building permit application involving this critical area would require a report
or risk analysis to be submitted by the geo-professional.
Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan Review:
Urban Growth:
UG-4: Consideration should be given to squaring up grossly irregular boundaries in the
development of the urban growth area.
GOAL 3: Establish development patterns that use urban land more efficiently.
Staff Report
CPRZ-2018-03

04/02/2019 Council Meeting Agenda Packet. Page 120 of 133
GOAL 4: The County and the City will collaborate on and adopt consistent regulations
and development standards for areas located within the urban growth areas.
Commercial:
GOAL 1: Provide sufficient commercial land that is properly sited to take advantage of
existing utility and public service infrastructure and the transportation network to ensure
growth of the local business community.
GOAL 3: Establish commercial areas that accommodate a variety of land use activities
to support a diverse and stable economic base while maintaining the quality of life in the
community and the natural environment.
POLICY C-2: Commercial development should provide well designed buffer areas to
insure that the land use is complimentary and compatible with adjacent land uses.
POLICY C-13: Expand commercial uses adjacent to existing similarly developed areas.
Economic Development:
ED-1: Identify areas where future economic activity and growth is intended and
encouraged to occur.
ED-17: Ensure an adequate amount of land is designated for commercial uses based
on site characteristics, market demand, community need, job creation, and the
availability of support facilities and services.
Analysis: Goals and Policies of the Greater East Wenatchee Comprehensive
Plan encourage the removal of irregular boundaries in the urban growth area
(UGA). This project eliminates a gap between the adjacent G-C parcels along SR
28.
The proposal is consistent with the adjacent G-C zoned properties. The proposal
is adjacent to a main transportation system for the region (SR 28), and will
provide additional commercial land that is properly sited to take advantage of
existing services and the transportation network.
The R-H district (Attachment B) allows non-residential uses such as offices and
limited commercial opportunities. Rezoning the three parcels to G-C (Attachment
C) will allow for greater diversity of commercial and retail uses and will increase
the acreage of the G-C district.
Similarly, the G-C district allows for residential uses through accessory or
conditional uses and will allow for more diverse retail and commercial uses. The
rezone will still allow for housing opportunities in the East Wenatchee area.

East Wenatchee Municipal Code Review:
The Residential High Density/Office (R-H) zoning district (Attachment D) allows for
varying housing types as well as limited office-type businesses.
General Commercial (G-C) (Attachment E) encourages the development of commercial
uses that will create varied job opportunities and provide services to the community that
are not strictly retail in nature. The businesses locating within the G-C district often draw
customers from the outlying areas rather than from a more limited local trade area.
Analysis: A rezone of the three parcels would still allow the County to further
housing opportunities as the G-C zoning district allows for multi-family housing as
accessory and conditional uses. In addition, the G-C zoning will allow for mixed
use, retail and other commercial uses easily accessible from a major
transportation system, as the G-C district is expected to be more automobiJe
oriented than the Central Business District (CBD).
