19.55.010 Purpose and applicability
(1)This chapter establishes a siting process for essential public facilities
(EPFs) that are difficult to site.
(a) An EPF is any facility owned or operated by a unit of local or state
government, a public utility or transportation company, or any other entity that
provides a public service as its primary mission. Examples of EPFs include those
facilities that are difficult to site, such as airports, state education facilities and state or
regional transportation facilities as defined in RCW 47.06.140, state and local
correctional facilities, solid waste handling facilities, and secure community transition
facilities as defined in RCW 71.09.020. (RCW 36.70A.200) Essential public facilities
such as in-patient facilities including substance abuse facilities, mental health
facilities, group homes, etc., which are defined in accordance with the provisions of
and judicial interpretations of the Federal Fair Housing Act amendments, 43 USC
Section 3604(t)(9), and the Washington Housing Policy Act, RCW 43.I 85B.005(2), as
the same exists or is hereafter amended, are exempt from this chapter.
(b)An EPF may be difficult to site if it requires a unique type of site,
is perceived by the public as having significant adverse impacts, or is of a type that has
been difficult to site in the past. Health and social service facilities that house persons
who constitute a threat to the community as defined in Section 19.06.496 MMC are
automatically determined to be difficult to site.
(2) This siting process is intended to ensure that EPFs, as needed to support
orderly growth and delivery of public services, are sited in a timely and efficient
manner.It is also intended to provide the city with additionally regulatory authority to
require mitigation of impacts that may occur as a result of EPF siting. Finally, it is
intended to promote enhanced public participation that will produce siting decisions
consistent with community goals.
19.55.020 Conditional use permit required.
(1)Any EPF that is determined to be difficult to site shall be a conditional use
in all zones in which it is listed as a permitted or conditional use in the use matrix,
chapter 19.08 MMC.In the event of a conflict with chapter 19.08 MMC, the
provisions of this section shall govern.
(2) An EPF that is difficult to site must satisf'y the requirements of Section
19.54.050MMC and the requirements of this chapter.
19.55.030 Siting process initiation.
The siting process required by this chapter may be initiated by the project
sponsor or bythe department.
(1)Sponsor initiation.

.'
(a) Before applying to site an EPF, a project sponsor may request
review under this siting process by submitting a letter to the department that describes
the project proposal and whyit may be difficult to site.
(b) The department shall transmit the sponsor's letter to the hearing
examiner and to Snohomish County Tomorrow (SCT), who may prepare an advisory
recommendation on the issue of whether the EPF is difficult to site.
(c) Within 90 days of receiving the sponsor's letter, the hearing
examiner shall hold a hearing to determine whether the facility is difficult to site, using
the criteria contained in 19.55.010(1)(b).If the examiner determines that the proposed
EPF is difficult to site, the project shall be reviewed under the conditional use permit
process established in this chapter.
(2) Department initiation.
(a)If the department receives a permit application involving an EPF
that is believes difficult to site, it shall inform the applicant that it cannot accept the
application for processing and prepare a memorandum requesting a hearing examiner
determination on whether the EPF will be difficult to site.
(b) The department shall transmit this memorandum to the SCT and
the hearing examiner, who shall hold a public hearing under 19.55.030(l)(c).
(c) If the project sponsor and the department agree that the proposed
project will be difficult to site, a hearing under MMC 19.55.030(1)(c) will not be
required, and the proposal may proceed directly to the conditional use permit
procedure described in 19.55.050.
19.55.040 Optional site consultation process.
Prior to submitting a conditional use permit application, an EPF sponsor may
initiate optional site consultation with the SCT Planning Advisory Committee and/or
SCT Infrastructure Coordinating Committee. The consultation process, while not
required, is encouraged as a means for project sponsors to present facility proposals,
seek information about potential sites, and propose possible siting incentives and
mitigation measures foraffectedjurisdictions.
19.55.050 EPF conditional use permit procedure.
(1)The approval process for an EPF conditional use permit shall require a
public hearing in front of the Hearing Examiner.
(2) The conditional use permit application shall include a public participation
plan designed to encourage early public involvement in the siting decision and in
determining possible mitigation measures.
(3) In addition to the conditional use permit application fee, an additional fee
of $1000 shall be required for the additional costs associated with review of the
application under the criteria established in 19.55.070MMC.

",..
19.55.060 Independent consultant review.
(1) The department may require independent consultant review of the proposal
to assess its compliance with the criteria contained in 19.55.070. Health and social

to assess whether the proposed facility is located, constructed and operated in a
manner that substantially reduces or compensates for adverse impacts on public health
and safety.
(2) If independent consultant review is required, the sponsor shall make a
deposit with the department sufficient to defray the cost of such review. Unexpended
funds will be returned to the applicant following the final decision on the application.
19.55.070 Decision criteria.
An application for conditional use permit approval for any essential public
facility determined to be difficult to site must comply with conditional use permit
requirements of MMC 19.54.050, any applicable requirements for the proposed use,
and the following additional site decision criteria:

by an analysis of the projected service population, an inventory of existing and planned
comparable facilities, and the projected demand for the type of facility proposed.
(2) The sponsor has reasonably investigated alternative sites, as evidenced by
a detailed explanation of site selection methodology.
(3) The project is consistent with the sponsor's own long-range plans for
facilities and operations.

public participation in the siting decision and mitigation measures that is appropriate in
light of the project's scope.
(5) The project will not result in a disproportionate burden on a particular
geographic area.
(6) The project is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan.
(7)The project site meets the facility's minimum physical site requirements,
including projected expansion needs. Site requirements may be determined by the
minimum size of the facility, access, support facilities, topography, geology, and on-
site mitigation needs.
(8) The project site, as developed with the proposed facility and under the
proposed mitigation plan, is compatible with surrounding land uses.
(9) The sponsor has proposed mitigation measures that substantially reduce or
compensate for adverse impacts on the environment.
(10) In the case of Health and Social Service facilities that house persons who
constitute a threat to the community as defined in 19.06.496 MMC, the sponsor has
proposed mitigation measures that substantially reduce or compensate for adverse
impacts on public health that safety.

19.55.090 Reconsideration and optional advisory review process.
