Ordinance No. 6317 ~k CTTY OF M@11101'c31'1d1J117 * WASHINGTON TO: Planning and Community DeveloPment Committee Mayor Peter Lewis Dan Heid, City Attorney - Steven Gross, Assistant Gity Attorney FROM.: Kevin Snyder;,AICP, Directoc, Planning & Development Department DATE: - July 9, 2010 SUBJECT: ACTION 1TEM IV.D: SubmittaL of Revised Ordinance No. 6317 for Committee Action ` Subsequent to the,.issuance of the Committee's July 12th packet, the Municipal Research & Service Center (MRSC) has issued an opinion on the legislative intent and effectiveness of Substitute Senate Bill 6544 in response to multiple inquiries by local jurisdictions. An excerpt of MRSCs analysis and conclusions for this . opinion is provided below. In short, MRSC advises that any legislative action taken by local govemments to address Substitute Senate Bill 6544 should apply to already approved preliminary plats in effect before June 10, 2010 (i.e.; the BiIPs effective date) for which final plat approval has not been granted. The version of Ordinance No. 6317 distributed as part of the Committee's July 12t" packet is not consistent with the MRSC opinion: Planning and City Attomey staff haVe reviewed the MRSC opinion and concur. Please find attached a revised version_ of Ordinance No. 6317 for the Gommittee's use in its action consideration on July 12t~. Please note that new code language is identifed by double underlining, while deleted code ianguage has been struck out. In addition; changes in the recitals (i.e. Whereas) at the beginning of the ordinance are identified by single underlining. Staff recommends the Committee use this version of Ordinance No. 6317 in any potential action. Excerbt from .MRSC: ' In $S6 6544"(Ch. 79. Laws of 20101, the 2010 legislature extended the statutory time period for submitting fnal plats~ for eity. br county approval from five years after preliminary plat approval to seven years after that approval~ It also extended the vesting period for approved final plats'from five to seven years. This' legislation, which is effective June 10, sunsets on December 31, 2014. It appears that the purpose of this temporary extension is to save preliminary plats that are in jeopardy of lapsing 6ecause of the economic downfurn. 7his purpose shouldhelp explain which preliminary plats this legislation applies to. The oriQinal bill included an intent section that, although deleted in the substitute bill that was adopted, sheds iight on legislative intent: (1) The legislature finds that active land use permits are expiring due to a downturn on the state economy. Considerable cost has been expended,by applicants and local jurisdictions to approve projects. Allowing these projects to expire would make it difficult for the state to meet its. fiousing needs in tfie future and impose considerable staff costs on local governments to perform work that has already been completed. (2) The legislature further finds that,_ in the current period of eco,nomic challenge, an extension for, plat approvals will contribute to 'the overall employment of the state by employing citizens of Washington as soon as is practicable in the family wage jobs'of the land development and home building industries. , . ' . The public testimony in favor of the bill, as summarized in the various bill reports, also focused on the current economic climate and its effect on development activity. The following represents MRSCs analysis of this legislation and addresses the preliminary plats to which it applies and the effect'of its sunset provision: • The extension applies to all preliminary plats approved prior to the effective date (June 10) that have not yet expired under RCW 58:17.140. Consistent with- the evident intent of this legislation, it should be interpreted to apply to already-approved ` preliminary plats for which the subdivider has yet to apply for final plat approval and for.which the five-year filing period for final plat approval will not expire prior to June 10, the effective date of this legislation. These preliminary plats - those in danger of expiring - are the focus of this legislation. The one category of preliminary plat approvals that will fall between the cracks of this extension are those that will expire before June 10. If a city or county has some of those, it could addcess the problem of iooming expirafion, should it choose, by issuing an extension authorized by RCW 58.17.140 ("Nothing contained in this section shall acf to prevent any city, town, or county from adopting by ordinance procedures which would allow extensions ofitime that may oc may not contain additional or altered conditions and requirements.''). However, as stated in that stafute, such extensions would have to be authorized through procedures previously adopted by local ordinance. A city oc county could, of course, under RCW 58.17.140 and an enabling ordinance, authorize extensions beyond the seven-year period established by this legislation. • The extension applies to all complete preliminary plat applications submitted on or before the sunset date of December 37, 2014. Although it can be argued that the filing of a complete preliminary plat application does not vest the preliminary plat to this extension because the length of the period for the filing of a final plat does not in any way affect the consideration of the. preliminary plat application and thus should not be subject to vesting, it is probably safer and more consistent with the vesting doctrine to, freat a complete application as the vesting trigger for purposes of this extension. So, under this approach, it is not necessary to receive preliminary plaf approval before the sunset date for the seven-year final plat filing period to apply. Of course, we Fiave over four years for this to be elarified, if necessary. The sunset provision will have no effect on the length. of the filing period for final plat approval of preliminary` plats approved prior to the sunset date. In other words, on December 31; 2014,. the filing period that applies to such already-approved preliminary plats does not change from seven to five years; ; it remains at seven years. • The extension of the period in which lots in final plats are protected as a valid land use applies to final plats filed for record on. or before December 31, 2014. , SSB 6544 amended two, proyisions of RCW 58:17.170 that address. limitations on the vested stafus of approved final plats. First, ifi.extended the time during which "lots in a final plat filed for record shall be a valid land use notviiithstanding any change in zoning laws" from fve to seven years. The_application of'the sunset provision to this provisionis straightforward; the extension to seven years applies to all final plats filed for record with the county aud,itor on or before December 31, 2014. , o The extension of the period for filing of final plats is effective, .as. of June, 10, 2010, reg_ardless of whether cities and counties amend their local subdivision ordinances to incorporate the extension. State subdivision law controls over local subdivision ordinances. RCW 58.17.030. . Thus, while local subdivision ordinances should be amended to be consistent with SSB 6544, existing preliminary plats and new preliminary plat applications:towhich this legislation applies will be subject to its seven-year final plat fling period regardless of the provisions of local ordinances. 2 ORDINANCE NO. 6317 rREVISEDI AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY _ OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, AMENDING SEGTIONS 17.09.110, 17.09.120, 17.10.110 , AND 17.12.040 OF THE AUBURN CITY CODE RELATING TO TIME LIMITATION FOR APPROVAL OF PLATS WHEREAS, on March 17, 2010, the Washington State Legislature ' enacted Substitute Senate Bill 6544, relating to time limitation for approval of . ~ . plats'~ and .r~.. rtWHEREAS, the Bill extends sbaFiges the~time duri ghich a preliminary , and final plat are valid from five years to seven years; and .
