City of East Wenatchee Ordinance 2020-13 Page 3 of 8
8.1.1. The requested actions are recommendations regarding
8.1.1.1. The adoption of amendments to the East Wenatchee Municipal Code (EWMC) establishing a new North End Wenatchi Landing Overlay District. Amendments to EWMC Chapters 17.34, 17.42, 17.46 and creation of a new Chapter 17.54 North End Wenatchi Landing Overlay.
8.1.1.2. Amendment to the North End Planned Action Ordinance (City of East Wenatchee Ordinance 2016-16 and Douglas County Ordinance TLS 16-09-37C) to add a cost of construction adjustment to the transportation mitigation fees.
8.1.2. East Wenatchee and Douglas County have adopted Comprehensive Plans pursuant to the Growth Management Act (GMA) and RCW Chapter 36.70A, which through a series of planning area Comprehensive Plans there were found to be consistent with each other and with the adopted GMA plans of the adjoining jurisdictions.
8.1.3. The Greater East Wenatchee Area Comprehensive Plan (2018) reflects the community’s preferred future and contains goals and policies. The goals and policies from the comprehensive plan stress that development should occur when infrastructure is available to support the project and in a manner that is compatible with surrounding uses and preserves and protects the community’s quality of life.
8.1.4. The North End Master Site Plan was adopted on October 10, 2016 by the City of East Wenatchee with Ordinance 2016-15 and by Douglas County with Ordinance TLS 16-08-37B.
8.1.5. The North End Master Site Plan Planned Action was adopted on October 10, 2016 by the City of East Wenatchee with Ordinance 2016-16 and Douglas County with Ordinance TLS 16-09-37C.
8.1.6. The Vision Statement for the North End Master Site Plan is to “Establish a prosperous center for job-creating industry and a tourist and recreation destination at the North End of East Wenatchee.”
8.1.7.

City of East Wenatchee Ordinance 2020-13 Page 4 of 8
Commercial zoning districts, while appropriate for those districts in general, are not consistent with the vision or the land use concept adopted in the master plan.

These guidelines and standards are critical to guiding development projects which will work together to achieve the vision of creating a prosperous center for job-creating industry and a tourist and recreation destination.
8.1.12. RCW Chapters 36.70 and 36.70A authorize the adoption of amendments the comprehensive plan and development regulations.
8.1.13. WAC 365-196-800 requires that development regulations must be consistent with and implement comprehensive plans adopted pursuant to the act. The WAC section continues to define ‘implement’ that is “connotes not only a lack of conflict but also a sufficient scope to fully carry out the goals, policies, standards and directions contained in the comprehensive plan”.
8.1.14.

this condition. Distances may vary from exactly 1,320 feet to accommodate linking adjacent
developments on a case-by-case basis.
