NOTICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
(RESCHEDULED)
The City of Selah hereby provides notice that the Planning Commission will conduct public hearings on October 6, 2015 to consider proposed amendments to the 2005 Selah Urban Growth Area Comprehensive Plan and an amendment to the Official City of Selah Zoning Map.
The City of Selah hereby provides notice that the City Council will conduct public hearings on October 27, 2015 to consider the proposed amendments to the 2005 Selah Urban Growth Area Comprehensive Plan and an amendment to the Official City of Selah Zoning Map.
The Planning Commission public hearing on October 6, 2015 will consider the following two actions and the City Council public hearing on October 27, 2015 will consider the Planning Commission’s recommendations on the two actions.
Proposed 2005 UGA Plan Amendment 2015-1: Carl & Candi Torkelson, change the Future Land Use designation of Parcel 181435-31024 at 905 Fremont Avenue from Moderate Density Residential (MDR) to High Density Residential (HDR).
Proposed 2005 UGA Plan Amendment 2015-2: City initiated plan amendment to change the Future Land Use designation of Parcel 181435-13493 at 600 Speyers Road from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Moderate Density Residential (MDR) and Proposed Zoning Map Amendment 914.61.15-02 initiated by the City to change the zoning from One Family Residential (R-1) to Two Family Residential (R-2). These actions are being initiated by the City to correct a mapping error, because the Future Land Use designation applied to this property by the 2005 comprehensive plan and subsequent rezoning failed to consider the existing use of the property, adjacent land uses and the pattern of development in the vicinity along Speyers Road.
The Planning Commission and City Council Hearings will be held in the City of Selah Council Chambers, 115 W. Naches Avenue, Selah, WA. The Planning Commission hearings on Tuesday September 15, 2015 commence at 5:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as practical. City Council hearings commence Tuesday October 13, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as practical. The Planning Commission will accept public testimony and written comments at the public hearings and will consider them in their recommendations to the City Council. The City Council will consider the Planning Commission’s recommendations, testimony received at the public hearings and written comments received prior to issuing the final decisions on the proposal.
Request for Comments: Your views on the proposed amendments are requested. All written comments received will be considered at the public hearings. Please mail your comments to the City of Selah Planning Department, 222 South Rushmore Road, Selah, WA 98942, FAX them to (509) 698-7372 or send them by email to tdurant@ci.selah.wa.us.

Environmental Review: The City of Selah is the lead agency for this proposal under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and has determined that it does not have probable significant adverse environmental impacts. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c) and a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) is being issued under WAC 197-11-340(2). Written comments on the DNS will be accepted during a 14 day comment period that ends on September 8, 2015. This decision was made after a review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency.
