Revised Code of Washington
TITLE 36 RCW COUNTIES
CHAPTER 36.70A RCW GROWTH MANAGEMENT -- PLANNING BY SELECTED COUNTIES AND CITIE
RCW 36.70A.390 Moratoria, interim zoning controls -- Public hearing -- Limitation on
length -- Exceptions.
A county or city governing body that adopts a moratorium, interim zoning map, interim
zoning ordinance, or interim official control without holding a public hearing on the proposed
moratorium, interim zoning map, interim zoning ordinance, or interim official control, shall hold a
public hearing on the adopted moratorium, interim zoning map, interim zoning ordinance, or
interim official control within at least sixty days of its adoption, whether or not the governing body
received a recommendation on the matter from the planning commission or department. If the
governing body does not adopt findings of fact justifying its action before this hearing, then the
governing body shall do so immediately after this public hearing. A moratorium, interim zoning
map, interim zoning ordinance, or interim official control adopted under this section may be
effective for not longer than six months, but may be effective for up to one year if a work plan is
developed for related studies providing for such a longer period. A moratorium, interim zoning
map, interim zoning ordinance, or interim official control may be renewed for one or more
six -month periods if a subsequent public hearing is held and findings of fact are made prior to each
renewal.
This section does not apply to the designation of critical areas, agricultural lands, forest lands,
and mineral resource lands, under RCW 36.70A.170, and the conservation of these lands and
protection of these areas under RCW 36.70A.060, prior to such actions being taken in a
comprehensive plan adopted under RCW 36.70A.070 and implementing development regulations
adopted under RCW 36.70A.120, if a public hearing is held on such proposed actions. [1992 c 207
§ 6.]
RCW 36.70A.400 Accessory apartments.
Any local government, as defined in RCW 43.63A.215, that is planning under this chapter
shall comply with RCW 43.63A.215(3). [1993 c 478 § 11.]
RCW 36.70A.410 Treatment of residential structures occupied by persons with
handicaps.
No county or city that plans or elects to plan under this chapter may enact or maintain an
ordinance, development regulation, zoning regulation or official control, policy, or administrative
practice which treats a residential structure occupied by persons with handicaps differently than a
similar residential structure occupied by a family or other unrelated individuals. As used in this
section, "handicaps" are as defined in the federal fair housing amendments act of 1988 (42 U.S.C.
Sec. 3602). [1993 c 478 § 23.]
RCW 36.70A.420 Transportation projects -- Findings -- Intent.
The legislature recognizes that there are major transportation projects that affect multiple
jurisdictions as to economic development, fiscal influence, environmental consequences, land use
implications, and mobility of people and goods. The legislature further recognizes that affected
jurisdictions have important interests that must be addressed, and that these jurisdictions' present
environmental planning and permitting authority may result in multiple local permits and other
requirements being specified for the projects.
The legislature finds that the present permitting system may result in segmented and
sequential decisions by local governments that do not optimally serve all the parties with an interest
in the decisions. The present system may also make more difficult achieving the consistency
among plans and actions that is an important aspect of this chapter.
It is the intent of the legislature to provide for more efficiency and e
local governments regarding major transportation projects by encourager Adopted by Reference
