RES 2007-27 CAINION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTRESOLUTION NO. 2007-27
A RESOLUTION by the City of Bainbridge Island City Council,
Bainbridge Island, Washington, denying the Cainion
Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA14567).
WHEREAS, on February 28, 2007, Mr. Andrew Cainion submitted a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment request (CPA14567) to change the land use designation of tax parcel number
212502-3-011-2001, which is in the Island Center area of Bainbridge Island, from OSR-0.4
(Open Space Residential, 2.5 acres per unit) to NSC (Neighborhood Service Center); and
WHEREAS, the Bainbridge Island Comprehensive Plan policy NSC 1.3 states "Island
Center is designated as a Special Planning Area. The boundaries for Island Center are shown on
the Land Use Map. Any changes to the boundary may be determined during the special planning
process"; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 18.115 of the Bainbridge Island Municipal Code (BIMC) defines
the Special Planning Area Process; and
WHEREAS, the Staff Report prepared for CPA14567 and dated August 23, 2007
concludes that "to meet the intention of the Plan (specifically Land Use Policy NSC 1.3), the
Land Use Map and policy amendment request should be considered as part of a Special Planning
Area process for Island Center Neighborhood Service Center"; and
WHEREAS, on September 27, 2007, the Planning Commission passed a
recommendation to "deny CPA 14567 because it does not conform to Land Use Policy NSC 1.3
and there are more appropriate ways to address the issue through the City's work program and
review of the NSCs in general"; and
WHEREAS, on October 10, 2007, the Bainbridge Island City Council conducted first
reading on Ordinance No. 2007-32 (the ordinance that would implement the Cainion Land Use
Map change request if passed ) and referred the ordinance to the Land Use Committee for a
recommendation to the full City Council; and
WHEREAS, on November 6, 2007, the Land Use Committee discussed the request and
voted 2 to 1 to recommend that the Comprehensive Plan Amendment request be denied and the
neighborhood planning process be simultaneously restarted; and
WHEREAS, on November 14, 2007, the Bainbridge Island City Council conducted
second reading on Ordinance No. 2007-32, determined that CPA 14567 should be denied based
upon the decision criteria established by BIMC 18.117.050, and directed City staff to prepare a
resolution reflecting this determination for their consideration at the next City Council meeting;
and
WHEREAS, Chapter 18.117 of the Bainbridge Island Municipal Code defines the
Comprehensive Plan amendment process, and BIMC 18.117.030 defines City Council actions
Pg. 1 of 2
upon receipt of the Planning Commission recommendation to be approval, denial, or approval
with modification to the proposed amendment; now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, DOES RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council adopts the September 27, 2007, findings, conclusions and
recommendations of the Planning Commission regarding Comprehensive Plan Amendment
request (CPA14567) submitted by Mr. Andrew Cainion for a change in the Land Use
Designation for parcel number 212502-3-011-2001 from OSR-0.4 (Open Space Residential,
2.5 acres per unit) to NSC (Neighborhood Service Center) and denies CPA14567. A copy of
the Planning Commission's findings, conclusions and recommendations is attached as Exhibit A
and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. The primary basis for denial of CPA14567 by the City Council is that the
application does not comply with decision criteria established by BIMC 18.117.050(C)(2),
requiring consistency with the overall intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically,
CPA14567 does not comply with Land Use Policy NSC 1.13 which requires boundaries to
the Neighborhood Service Center be determined by a Special Planning Area Process, which
has not occurred in this case. This Special Planning Area process is defined in BIMC
Chapter 18.115.
PASSED by the City Council this 28th day of November, 2007.
APPROVED by the Mayor this 30th day of November, 2007.
