B. ZONING CODE TEXT Some of the policies contained in the Land Use Element will require revisions to the zoning code if the city is to realize the desired future land use pattern for the city. The Official Zoning Map is part of the zoning code and will be amended to bring the zoning classifications into consistency with the land use designations of the Land Use Map. As policies are amended or added to the Land Use Element text,or revisions made to the Land Use Map, the zoning code should be amended as needed to promote the desired land use pattern. Zoning code standards should also be reevaluated from time to time and adjusted if the City finds it necessary to be more assertive or Element may require the revision of zoning code standards to promote other objectives of the plan. Each potential code revision must be carefully evaluated to ensure that the change suggested for implementing the policies of one element do not conflict with the objectives of another element. If conflicts cannot be avoided,the Planning Commission and City Council must decide which policies have the higher priority,or if amending policies is necessary to eliminate the conflict. Zoning code standards and map revisions arc one method for the City to implement the recommendations of the Land Use Element. There arc a variety of potential zoning code revisions that should be considered. Potential zoning code revisions include: • revision of development standards • revision of permitted uses within zones • requirements for mixed uses in commercial developments • design incentives in return for higher housing densities • mandatory design review for a certain type or size of development • amortization provisions for nonconforming uses or signs • transfer of development rights • rezoning, interim zoning,interim development regulations,master plans,overlay zones • minimum densities as well as maximum densities • maximum lot sizes as well an minimum lot sizes • consolidation of existing zones or creation of new zones • revision to review processes C. Subdivision Cod* The subdivision code contains standards that regulate the division of land within the city. Like the zoning code,it should be evaluated regularly to keep it consistent with the policies of the Land Use Element. Potential changes D. SEPA Ordinance over a minimum threshold size be evaluated for potential adverse impacts to the environment. Mitigation measures,or conditions of approval may be placed upon specific developments so long as the level of mitigation required docs not exceed the level of impact cr ated by the project and the conditions of mitigation are based upon an adopted policy or ordinance of the City. The SEPA process can be extremely useful in implementing the goals and policies of the Land Use Element as well as other elements of the comprehensive plan. In certain instances,revisions to the zoning or subdivision codes will not adequately implement the goals of and policies of the comprehensive plan. The City must use a systematic,consistent method to determine how the mitigation process,so it does not miss opportunities to implement the comprehensive plan.
