KINGSTON SUB-AREA PLAN AND MAKING CORRESPONDING AMENDMENTS TO THE KITSAP COUNTY ZONING CODE AND MAP; AND AMENDING THE SUQUAMISH RURAL VILLAGE SUB-AREA PLAN BE IT ORDAINED: Section 1. The Kitsap County Board of Commissioners makes the following findings: 1) The Growth Management Act, Chapter 36.70A RCW (GMA), requires that Kitsap County’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan and implementing development regulations be subject to continuing review and evaluation. The GMA requires counties to review, and if needed, revise their Comprehensive Plans and implementing development regulations to ensure compliance with the GMA. 2) On May 7, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopted the Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan (Plan). Adoption of this Plan met the requirements of the GMA. The Plan was subsequently amended in June 2002, December 2003 and October 2004 after extensive review and recommendation by the public and Planning Commission. 3) Kitsap County’s Comprehensive Plan provides that it will be reviewed and updated to adjust to changing needs, unforeseen circumstances or new local or regional trends (Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan, Part I Land Use, Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process). The Kitsap County Code Chapter 21.08 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment Procedures, Section 21.08.040, provides that the Board will establish a schedule for review and possible amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. 4) The Comprehensive Plan is intended to actively guide future growth in Kitsap County and effectively respond to changes in conditions or assumptions. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment process is intended to provide an opportunity for the public to propose amendments to the County’s Comprehensive Plan, and amendments to the Kitsap County Code, if required to maintain consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. 5) The Kingston Urban
