Mr. Zimmerman introduced Jim Tracy, the attorney representing the Wenatchee Valley Mall. Mr. Tracy gave a chain of events that had occurred up to date. He said Douglas County had opted in to the Growth Management Act. This required joint planning with the cities in Douglas County and a regional policy plan. A Citizens Advisory Committee was appointed to look at the Comprehensive Plan and make a recommendation. After reviewing the plan, holding public meetings and listening to the public, the committee came back with a recommendation to change the zoning to allow for Community Commercial in the area to the north and allow this zoning to be twenty acres, a change from the plans original General Commercial zoning of sixty acres. On May 17, 1995, the Douglas County Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the proposed FUGA and Land Use Plan, however no recommendation was made because the - affirmative^vote was not a majority as required by RCW 36.70.600. Mr. Tracy said several questions and recommendations were presented to the County Commissioners, however they were not recognized and the situation appears to be stonewalled. -z- pus „ueld Pip jo suotisu2isap asn puul aqi pns eaJV tlLttoJrJ uugtn pasodoJd aqi uoddns of st uopou I?ounoD f4!D atI•I•„ :2utleis sJauotssUBWOD ,iiunoo sel2noQ aqi of iaiial a ivas s2utlloo umu(i JoAlow 9661 `9I X12W uo `SV31I3HM Pug `uRld 966I agi 2utuJa3uo3 suotiupuauttuooaJ opgut s2uuuaq o?lgnd SuuwWj uoissn=oo 2uuxmld aagoisuaAk is3 Pur DVD atli `sVauaRM Puu`(UuId 566I) uuId anrsuagaiduioo eaJV uugJn luutd Pill 2upma!sop 3o sonsst aqi 2utuJaouo3 s2utnaq oilgnd plaq Ilu aneq uoisst =OD 2ummicl aagoieuoA� iseg pug 'uoissiunuoD 2utuueld Iuuot2ag ,SiunoD selSnoQ `(DVO) aaiittutuoD CJom s,uazn!D aogoisuoAj isgg iawaig aqi `svuu3HM 'NV'id 3AISN3H31IdWOJ Q31IIfla3u LOV .LN3W30VNVW HZMOH9 3H.L 30 SINMY13 NOIIVNJIS3Q 3Sfl QNV'I QNV V31IV HIM089 NVEMfl '13V lN3W30VNVW HIM0119 3HI 9NISS311QQV N1019NIHSVM '33HOIVN3M ZSV3 d0 AID alll d0 IDMIOJ AMa 3HI d0 N011fllOS3H V 9-S6 N011fl10S3H pJooaJ alp OR uolinlosal aJtiva aqi puai usuuaunulZ -1w ' (ST11puaH) 'I - b `POP-mo uotioul ags uo?3>'u2tsaQ asn puu l pus ioV ivatua2uuuW gimojo aqi guissaJppu uo?inlosai aqi anoJgddof moN!W Jaqutautltounoj Cq puooas `Coe7 Jaqut2ugtouno3 Cq apetu sum uotiocu V :aouaV Ilauno3 Jalietu p?22I still ui lluut aqi qum )IJom pus uoddns of ,Coui L un f •lo isanbai aqi anoidds puu Japtsuoo of itounoD pa)isu usuuounutZ IasunoD Is2a-I •uotssas antinoaxa ainutut uanas u iaVu •ut•d 0£:L it, pouanu000i ItounoD •ut•d £Z:L iu tmSoq uotssas antinooxg •uotssas antinoaxa ainutut uaagg u uagi pus 3ie2tg ainutut ang a pallga sSu11103 JOXt' l •aai CitunuoD ,CJostnpV s,uaztl?D aqi Xq popuounuooai su uaJV gimo q uugin Igutd aqi 2u.uoddns se Ilom se `uonnlosai aqi ssed pinoqs 64to aqi pass Aorq iagtuoutltounoD •IxnoD JouadnS ui Palt3 oq Plnoo sluaddg asn puu13o IRm a pappu PH •,ilunoo aqi of Xouq ss000id aqi puuutaJ pus s2utpug anuq pinoo pmoq aqi p?us .iouJs •Jill •pgq pJeog sSuuuaH aqi Jamod iegm pwise ,Court aaquiaulp3uno:) uuno� se12no(l Cq VOL"9£ A1o2I 3o suotietotn paito osig aH 'iueuodun'sent bgi `pappe pne aiudio?usd of sa!lmd pauJaauoo Ip: paVe PH •suaztito poutaouoo pue pounoZ) A!D aqi `sluuual II9W SPITA 3Qg3W'uaM aqi ',Citununuoo ssauisnq aqi •amounuoD ;o JaqumgD atp 3o lJoddns atp Jo; pa3Iss aH •pasog s2utJu H ivauta2s mW glmoio aqi of Iuaddu ue 8utig aq pinom IIUW ,CaIFA aagoisuaAk aqi 2ut,Cgs lasunoo Iu2a-I s,aoq:)wuaM iseg of Jonal a aiolm uagi ,(Quay -1w 9661 'SZ A'Inf S3lnNIW-IIDNfl00 33HDlVN3M 1SV3 d0 AID CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 25, 1995 "The City Council action is to support the proposed Urban Growth Area and the land use designations of the plan", and WHEREAS, without providing specific notice to the City of East Wenatchee, the Douglas County Commissioners on June 27, 1995 passed resolution No. TLS 95-51 formally accepting the FUGA as recommended by the CAC, City of East Wenatchee Planning Commission, and East Wenatchee City Council, but did not address the land use designations or any other elements of the 1995 Plan: and WHEREAS, on July 12, 1995 Mayor Dawn Collings wrote to the Douglas County Commissioners and Clarified that the action of the City Council as addressed in the Mayor's May 16, 1995 correspondence was an approval of the FUGA in connection with the land use designations and stated that if the land use designations were changed, the City would reconsider its position concerning the 1995 Plan: and WHEREAS, on July 18, 1995 Mayor Dawn Collings at the request of the City Council again wrote the Douglas County Commissioners requesting a meeting to address this and other issues concerning the 1995 Plan: and WHEREAS, on July 19, 1995 the Douglas County Commissioners responded by a letter declining the opportunity to meet with the City concerning the 1995 Plan: and WHEREAS, RCW 36.70A.110(4) states in relevant part as follows: ' Final Urban Growth Areas shall be adopted at the time of Comprehensive Plan Adoption under this Chapter." and, WHEREAS, Chapter 43.21(C) RCW.
