14.08.030 Periodic assessment of comprehensive plan amendment needs.
A. The city shall monitor the comprehensive plan and regulatory ordinances that implement the plan, and may initiate amendments as needed for adoption. This assessment shall be based on, but not limited to:
1. Whether growth and development are occurring at a faster or slower rate than envisioned in the plan; or
2. Whether the capacity to provide adequate services is diminished or increased; or
3. The availability of land to meet demand; or
4. Assumptions upon which the plan is based are found to be invalid; or
5. The effect of the plan on land values and housing is contrary to the plan goals; or
6. A determination that sufficient change or lack of change in circumstances dictate the need for a recommended amendment; or
7. A determination that a question of consistency exists between the comprehensive plan and Chapter 36.70A RCW, the County-Wide Planning Policies for King County, and Vision 2020: Growth Management and Transportation Strategy for the Central Puget Sound Region.
B. An assessment of the comprehensive plan shall occur at least every five years from the date of initial adoption of the plan. (Ord. 975-05 § 3).
