  • Facts, not opinions. Studies would be one source for supporting

comments.

  • Comprehensive plan designation, goals, objectives, and policies for the

property and area.

  • Other planning documents for the area, such as a neighborhood plan

(after 2001).

  • If the application is for a map amendment, look up the zoning category in

SMC 17C and become familiar with the permitted uses.

slide-25
SLIDE 25
  • A comprehensive plan map amendment application is not the

development project itself. It is a request to make a future project possible by applying a different land use designation and zoning category.

  • A policy amendment asks the community to consider

correction or new guidance to better achieve the community vision.
