11.23.010 Purpose.

(1) The purpose of this chapter is to provide development regulations for the Manson community that are consistent with, and implement the Manson sub-area comprehensive plan. The standards are specific to each district and are described in the different sections of this code. Unless otherwise regulated by this chapter, development in the Manson urban growth area shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Chelan County Code, including, but not limited to, regulations governing development, design, procedures, land divisions, critical areas, etc.

(2) Production, processing, collective gardens, and cooperatives of any marijuana or cannabis products, all as defined pursuant to Chapters 69.50 and 69.51A RCW, are each prohibited and not allowed in any zone in unincorporated Chelan County, including the Manson UGA.

Marijuana research activities, facilities, and uses are hereby permanently prohibited in all areas of unincorporated Chelan County, including, but not limited to, urban growth areas.

No application for a building permit, conversion or change in use permit, certificate of occupancy, tenant improvement permit, variance, conditional use permit, or other use or development permit or approval of any kind whatsoever for such uses shall be accepted as either consistent or complete by any county department. (Res. 2017-53 §§ 2, 3, 6/27/17; Res. 2016-32 (Exh. A) (part), 3/29/16: Res. 2009-162 (Exh. A) (part), 12/28/09).

11.23.020 Zoning districts.

The following zoning district categories, their related purpose statements and the applicable zoning map symbols are established to carry out the identified purposes of this chapter. The zoning districts are hereby designated by a legend on the official zoning map, together with all explanatory matter thereon, entitled “Manson Urban Growth Area Official Zoning Map.” The official zoning map is hereby adopted and declared to be a part of this chapter:

(1) Residential Districts. The residential classifications are for areas which are, or will become, residential which may include public facilities and services. The three residential classifications are:

(A) Urban Residential-1 (UR1). Maximum density is four dwelling units per acre, with exception of the area south of Hyacinth Road between Quetilquasoon and Madeline which has a density of 2.7 dwelling units per acre or sixteen-thousand-square-foot lots.

(B) Urban Residential-2 (UR2). Maximum density is eight dwelling units per acre.

(C) Urban Residential-3 (UR3). Maximum density is twelve dwelling units per acre.

(2) Tourist Commercial (CT). The tourist commercial district is intended to apply to areas which are uniquely suited for motels, hotels, lodges, and the provision of goods and services oriented to accommodate tourists and recreational users. Commercial designations also can provide upstairs housing opportunities, which help to make communities more alive, attractive and vibrant places.

(3) Downtown Commercial (CD). The downtown commercial district is intended for areas suited for retail, commercial, mixed small-scale uses with housing ideally on upper stories and an active street environment with pedestrian amenities. Alternative parking options and parking behind or to the side of structures should be developed to facilitate new development and redevelopment of lands within this designation. Residential uses on the street level, within platted lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 within the Wapato Point Commercial Park, shall be allowed; provided, that the building does not front upon a county or state road right-of-way. For the Pedio Harris neighborhood (a 5.5-acre triangle, from the Pedio and Harris intersection north to the alley south of Wapato Way), the historical residential uses may transition over time to a mix of public space, residential and commercial uses.

(4) Manson Light Industrial (MLI). The Manson light industrial district is designed to allow warehouse industrial uses that are both already established in Manson, like fruit processing, and allow for establishment of desirable new warehouse/industrial uses in the Manson area. This area may also serve as a neighborhood employment center with some small scale neighborhood amenities.

(5) Urban Public (UP). The public lands and facilities designation is intended to be applied within urban growth areas, to provide for open space and critical areas protection, recreational opportunities, sites for necessary public facilities, utilities and services and encourage joint public/private ventures where consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan.

11.23.050 Planned developments.

(1) Purpose. The purpose of a planned development (PD) is to allow a more flexible use of land by encouraging the careful application of design components to achieve the creation of innovative developments and a more efficient utilization of public facilities in exchange for public benefits that achieve comprehensive plan goals. The PD can also be used to protect wetlands, floodways, and other critical areas from development. A PD is one that permits diversity in the location and type of structures; promotes the efficient use of land by facilitating a more economical arrangement of buildings, streets, utilities, and land use; preserves as much as possible critical areas and natural landscape features; and reduces development impacts to adjacent neighborhoods through design and mitigation.

(2) Binding. Designation of a property as a PD binds the property owners and their successors to the development described and depicted in the application, binding site plan and approval of the PD, and applicable development standards of this chapter. The PD designation confirms the PD is consistent with the purpose of and provisions for planned developments and the comprehensive plan and provides the standards by which subsequent development permits, including building permits, shall be reviewed. All provisions, conditions and requirements of the binding site plan shall be legally enforceable on the purchaser or any other person acquiring a lease or other ownership interest of any lot, parcel or tract recreated pursuant to the binding site plan that depicts the PD.

(3) Processing. A PD shall be reviewed according to the provisions for a Type III quasi-judicial review of application process as described in Title 14, Development Permit Procedures and Administration, except as otherwise provided for in this section.

(4) There are established by this chapter provisions governing a residential planned development. This is a PD devoted solely to full-time residential uses. It is intended to promote more economical and efficient use of the land, while providing a harmonious variety of housing choices within a single residential project. PD shall be processed as subject to requirements of Title 12, Subdivisions. If a PD is planned to be completed in more than two years from the date of site plan approval, the PD will be divided into phases or divisions of development, numbered sequentially in the order construction is to occur.

(5) Where Permitted and Permitted Uses. Planned developments, when approved in accordance with all applicable codes and this chapter, are established as a development permit and, as such, do not reclassify the existing zoning district designation.

(A) A PD may be permitted within the UR1, UR2 and UR3 zoning districts, provided it is connected to a public water system and a public wastewater system, and further provided the minimum project size is at least two acres.

(B) A PD may include uses associated with the zoning district on the use chart in Section 11.23.030.

(6) Protection of Critical Areas and Provision of On-Site Recreation. The following standards apply to a PD:

(A) Where critical areas exist on a site subject to a PD, the benefits derived from the PD, including without limitation decreased lot sizes and increased densities as provided for in this chapter, shall be achieved in exchange for a dedicated protection of another portion of the property containing critical areas; provided, that:

(i) The critical areas to be protected are dedicated in perpetuity, and all future rights for development are traded in exchange for the rights to derive benefits from the PD process;

(ii) Land protected by trading development density shall be protected from encroachment and maintained free of fill material, building and construction wastes, yard wastes and other debris that would diminish the property characteristics that the dedication was intended to protect. Any use of the critical areas on site shall be governed by Chelan County’s critical areas protection code regulations;

(iii) Where critical areas within the development account for less than six hundred square feet per residential unit nor less than ten percent of the overall area of the development, additional on-site recreation and open space areas, as provided for in this chapter and in the applicable zoning code provisions, shall be provided in addition to retention of critical areas in an amount that achieves a total area in critical areas/open space/on-site recreation use of at least six hundred square feet per residential unit and in no case less than ten percent of the overall area of the development.

(B) Where no critical areas exist on a site subject to a PD, the benefits derived from the PD, including without limitation decreased lot sizes and increased densities as provided for in this chapter, shall be achieved in part in exchange for a dedication of another portion of the property as on-site recreation and/or open space areas, consistent with the provisions of this chapter, that total at least six hundred square feet per residential unit and in no case less than ten percent of the overall development; provided, that:

(i) The on-site recreation may include a combination of natural areas, parks, landscaped areas, trails, and/or visual corridors; provided, that a minimum of ten thousand square feet or sixty percent of the on-site recreation, whichever is greater, is contiguous usable space;

(ii) The on-site recreation area/areas are dedicated in perpetuity, and all future rights for development are traded in exchange for the rights to derive benefits from the PD process.

(7) On-Site Recreation and/or Open Space Design Requirements. The following are minimum design requirements for PDs that incorporate on-site recreation and/or open space:

(A) Public and/or private streets, parking lots and storm drainage, except as specifically enumerated within this chapter, shall not be calculated in whole or in part as a portion of the required on-site recreation or open space.

(B) The location, shape, size and character of the open space shall be configured appropriate to the scale and character of the planned density, expected population, and topography of the area. On-site recreation areas shall be centrally located in the development and designed for active and passive recreation unless otherwise approved by the hearing examiner.

(C) A minimum of sixty percent of the on-site recreation or open space shall be concentrated and/or connected into large usable areas. The remaining forty percent may be designated as buffers, entry features, recreation facilities, streetscape, and/or used for a natural trail system or other uses approved by the hearing examiner.

(D) On-site recreation areas or open space may contain such complementary structures and improvements as are necessary and appropriate for the benefit and enjoyment of residents of the PD; provided, that the building coverage of such buildings or structures shall not exceed fifty percent of the minimum on-site recreation or open space required.

(E) At least sixty percent of the on-site recreation area or open space required shall be reasonably level to accommodate active recreational uses with slopes no greater than fifteen percent. On-site public recreation areas shall be located on a street with a minimum frontage width of thirty feet if the site is two acres or less in size and sixty feet of frontage width for areas larger than two acres.

(8) Dedicated Lands. All lands dedicated for the preservation of critical areas, creation of open space or establishment of recreation facilities shall be protected in perpetuity by recorded covenants, approved by the county, which restrict uses to only those specified in the approved planned development site plan and provide for the maintenance of the open space in a manner which assures its continuing use for the intended purpose. Dedicated open space may be held in common interest by all of the property owners within the planned development, a public or private entity empowered to manage and maintain the open space, or by other appropriate legal measures that ensure the continuation of the open space/recreation areas. Perpetual restrictions shall be placed upon the title to all dedicated areas and on the face of the binding site plan indicating that:

(A) All land uses and development shall be limited to the stated purpose of the dedicated property.

(B) If the open space/recreation areas are held in common interest by all of the property owners within the planned development, then all property owners within the planned development shall be mutually responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the dedicated lands.

(C) Dedicated lands shall be maintained free of any liens or encumbrances that could interfere with the stated purpose of the dedication.

(9) Density Credits. The following standards apply to a PD that chooses to include density credits:

(A) The maximum number of dwelling units permitted per acre for a PD shall be determined by utilizing the maximum density levels established by the comprehensive plan and zoning regulations, and the amount of public benefit or design elements provided within the proposed development.

(B) Additional density, of not more than six units per acre in the UR1 zoning district, twelve units per acre in the UR2 zoning district and eighteen units per acre in the UR3, may be achieved by incorporating at least eight of the following eleven items into the design and construction of the PD:

(i) Trees shall be planted adjacent and along the entire frontage of public and/or private street rights-of-way on the property being developed. Planting areas shall be a minimum of five feet in width and consist of a minimum of sixty percent deciduous trees at least four feet high at the time of planting on no greater than fifty-foot centers. Suitable groundcover including grasses and/or low growing shrubs to complement the trees shall also be provided.

(ii) At least two covered parking spaces shall be provided for all residential dwelling units. Covered parking shall be in the form of carports, garages, or above/below ground parking garages.

(iii) Where a proposed PD consists of more than ten units, parking areas that are kept small (ten to twenty spaces) in any group and interspersed with landscaping, recreation features, structures, or other similar uses when applicable.

(iv) Provisions shall be made for bicycle, pedestrian and/or natural trail systems, the majority of which are physically and functionally separated from motor vehicle traffic by a distance of five feet or more. Separation may include such features as landscaping, undulated berms, natural features, topography, open space, or other similar features. Trail systems shall encompass the entire development and may be incorporated as part of the on-site recreation required. The trail system components shall connect all public open space, drainage ways, shoreline areas and other trail systems designated in the comprehensive plan. Trail system components shall be a minimum of eight feet wide and improved with an all-weather surface suitable for the type of trail proposed.

The perimeter buffer may include other required setbacks. The perimeter buffer shall include a combination of additional landscaping, fencing, and/or other alternatives that mitigate impacts to adjacent properties.

(E) Parking shall be provided according to the provisions established in Chapter 11.90 and the following:
