2016 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT DOCKET MEMO
To: City Council
From: Christopher Young, CED Director and Amy Rusko, Associate Planner
Date: January 29, 2016
Subject: 2016 Preliminary Docket Request
INTRODUCTION
The City’s Comprehensive Plan 2015 update was submitted for adoption in June 2015. State law (see
RCW 36.70A.130) allows for jurisdictions to make amendments to comprehensive plans once annually.
The City has established a docketing process (see AMC §20.96.022) in order to identify and review all
potential amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan for a given year to ensure all proposed
amendments are considered together.
As part of the docketing process, private citizens have the opportunity to submit applications to amend the
City’s Comprehensive Plan. The deadline to apply for annual amendments is January 31st of each year.
The City can also propose amendments to the comprehensive plan. Once the deadline passes, staff
compiles a list of all proposed amendments on a preliminary docket. This docket is then reviewed by staff
to determine if each amendment complies with the criteria listed in Chapter 20.96 of the City’s Land Use
Code. Once approved by the Director, the public has an opportunity to comment on proposed amendments
listed on the preliminary docket. Comments are compiled, if any, and are then presented to the Planning
Commission for consideration at a public hearing. The Planning Commission then makes a
recommendation to the City Council on whether or not the proposed amendments shall be on the Final
2016 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket. The City Council reviews and has the option to keep
and/or remove any proposed amendments on the docket. The Council then adopts the final docket in which
staff processes over the course of the year.

2016 Preliminary Docket Memo
Page 2 of 3
BACKGROUND
Privately Initiated Proposals. None received
City Initiated Proposals. The City is proposing two amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan:
a) The first proposed amendment involves creating a new overlay chapter to allow a Horizontal Mixed
Use Development. Currently, our Land Use Code only allows the Vertical Mixed Use Development
concept, whereas, the Retail development must be located on the first floor and the Residential
Development is allowed on the upper floors. Although this concept (model) works well in the
OTBD Zones (Urban Dense Areas) it is not a model currently favored or used in other areas of the
city. The Horizontal Mixed Use Development concept allows for a mix of diversified, high-density
residential to co-exist with the typical retail and support services, creating an urban village feel.
Several lots within the city have been analyzed using this concept and the development is
contingent upon utilizing this concept. The overlay would be applied, as a design option, within our
commercial zones, HC, GC, and NC, where the concept would be most beneficial by allowing its
highest and best use potential. The proposed preliminary docket request is consistent with the
amendment process and our Comprehensive Plan Policies; PL-7.2, PL-7.3, PO-6.1, PO-6.2, GH-2,
PH-4.1, and PH-8.3.
b) The second proposed amendment involves a potential amendment to our Water Service portion of
the Comprehensive Plan and is placed on the internal docket as a placeholder. The specific
amendments would involve Chapter 9 – Water System Improvements and Chapter 10 – Financial
Plan.
ANALYSIS
Arlington Municipal Code Chapter 20.96 (Amendments) outlines the process for amending the City’s
Comprehensive Plan on an annual basis. Specifically, AMC 20.96.022 (Docketing procedures-
comprehensive plan amendments) requires that:
(a) The city shall compile and maintain a list, known as a "docket," of all city-initiated and
privately-initiated proposed comprehensive plan amendments. The list shall be organized as
to amendment type and include a description of the amendment in nontechnical terms, as well
as the name of the applicant and date of submission to the city. The preliminary docket shall
be made available to the public for review and comment for at least fifteen days prior to
consideration by the planning commission. Written comments that are submitted by the end of
the comment period shall be added to the preliminary docket. The final docket will be
determined as described in AMC 20.96.
(b) Preliminary Review—Determination of Final Docket.
(1) Staff Evaluation. The community development director shall conduct a brief initial
evaluation of all privately-initiated proposed comprehensive plan amendments to ascertain
whether the proposals meet the preliminary review criteria in AMC 20.96 and to assess
the extent of review that would be required under the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA). The director shall make a recommendation to the planning commission as to
City of Arlington
2016 Preliminary Docket Memo
Page 3 of 3
which proposed amendments should be included in the final docket, along with any city-
initiated proposed amendments.
(2) Joint Workshop. During each annual amendment cycle, the city council and planning
commission may, at the city council's discretion, hold a noticed joint workshop to serve as
an informational meeting between the two governmental bodies.
(3) Planning Commission Hearing. The planning commission shall hold a noticed hearing
on selection of proposed amendments for the final docket.
(4) City Council Decision. The city council shall consider the planning commission's
recommended final docket. Council may adopt the proposed final docket without a public
hearing; however, in the event that a majority of the council decides to add or subtract
amendments, it shall first hold a public hearing. No additional amendments may be
considered after council adoption of the docket for that year, except as provided in AMC
20.96.010(e). The final docket shall be approved by resolution.
For items to be placed on the FINAL docket, they must meet the criteria outlined in AMC 20.96.024
(Selection and Decision Criteria-Comprehensive Plan Amendments):
(a) Proposed amendments that meet one of the following criteria may be included in the final docket:
(1) If the proposed amendment is site specific, the subject property is suitable for
development in general conformance with adjacent land use and the surrounding
development pattern, and with zoning standards under the potential zoning classifications.
(2) State law requires a decision of a court or administrative agency has directed such a
change.
(3) There exists an obvious technical error in the pertinent comprehensive plan provision.
(b) Proposed amendments that do not meet one of the criteria in subsection (1) of this section shall
meet all of the following criteria:
(1) The amendment represents a matter appropriately addressed through the
comprehensive plan, and the proposed amendment demonstrates a public benefit and
enhances the public health, safety and welfare of the city.
(2) The amendment does not raise policy or land use issues that are more appropriately
addressed by an ongoing work program approved by the city council.
(3) The proposed amendment addresses significantly changed conditions since the last time
the pertinent comprehensive plan map or text was amended. "Significantly changed
conditions" are those resulting from unanticipated consequences of an adopted policy, or
changed conditions on the subject property or its surrounding area, or changes related to
the pertinent comprehensive plan map or text, where such change has implications of a
magnitude that need to be addressed for the comprehensive plan to function as an
integrated whole.
(4) The proposed amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan and other goals
and policies of the city, the countywide planning policies, the Growth Management Act, other
state or federal law, and the Washington Administrative Code and other applicable law.

1. Type: Horizontal Mixed Use Overlay Zoning (Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map Amendment)
Applicant: City of Arlington
File №: PLN#202
Description: The City wishes to allow the Horizontal Mixed Use Development concept, in addition
to the currently permitted Vertical Mixed Use concept. The Horizontal Mixed Use Concept will
allow for a mix of diversified, high-density residential to co-exist with the typical retail and support
services, creating an Urban Village feel. Several commercially zoned areas within the city were
analyzed using this concept of mixed use development and found to be favorable in meeting our
buildable land needs, comprehensive planning policies relating to multi-modal access, and our
retail marketing strategy. The Horizontal Mixed Use Overlay can be used as a design option in all
areas currently zoned Highway Commercial (HC), General Commercial, (GC), Neighborhood
Commercial (NC), Residential High Density (RHD) and a portion of the Smokey Point Arterial
Corridor currently zoned Residential Moderate Density (RMD), by allowing its highest and best
use potential. The proposed Docket Request is consistent with our Comprehensive Planning
Policies; PL-7.2, PL-7.3, PO-6.1, GH-2, PH-4.1, and PH-8.3.

Letter from Arlington Runners Club and Ordinance 22.04.200
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN
Recreation
EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: None
BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Arlington Runners Club is requesting a change in Ordinance 22.04.200 regarding alcoholic
beverages prohibited in parks except in conjunction with special events. The current
ordinance allows for beer and wine tasting at Legion Park, sponsored by non-profits between
the hours of noon and 10pm. Requesting change to allow for beer and wine gardens at
Haller Park in addition to Legion Park.
HISTORY:
Devin Brossard and Lyanne Rolf, representing Arlington Runners Club, presented their
proposal to have a beer and wine garden at Haller Park on July 3 and July 4 to the Park, Arts,
and Recreation Commission on April 26, 2016. The idea was spurred from a need to draw
more attendees to Haller Park during July 4th after receiving news that Fire District 21 will not
be holding the annual pancake breakfast. The Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon, Duck Dash, and
Kiwanis Auction depend on a large number of attendees to be successful. Lyanne Rolf
discussed the layout and format of the proposed beer and wine garden event and her
experience with other similar events. PARC recommended that the ordinance be changed to
allow for beer and wine gardens at Haller Park with a 3-1 vote.
The original ordinance was adopted on July 7, 2014.
ALTERNATIVES
Deny change to current ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Workshop; discussion only.

RE: 4th of July
Dear Arlington City Council:
The 4th of July festivities in Arlington are a yearly tradition for many local families. Great events
and activities bring people together in Arlington on this holiday. Those include, but not limited
to: the Pedal Paddle Puff Triathlon, the Duck Dash, the Kiwanis Auction, the Downtown Parade,
the Firefighter’s Pancake Feed, and fireworks.
This is an interesting year with possible changes to the festivities. To my knowledge, the status
of the pancake feed is uncertain. Which is unfortunate, because it usually attracts a lot of people
to Haller Park in the morning before the race and Kiwanis auction. Even with the uncertainty of
that draw, there is a new boat ramp, and big plans moving forward with the future Splash Park
pending fund raising efforts.
In my mind, this year could be a year to show off the park and build excitement for the current
construction projects and future development.
I am the President of the Arlington Runners Club, which is hosting the Pedal Paddle Puff. After
many discussions with community members and fellow runners, the idea of providing a beer
garden following the triathlon, has drawn a lot of excitement. I would like to request the
opportunity to provide this service following the race at Haller Park.
I understand that the current ordinances do not allow for a beer garden at Haller Park. I know
that anytime alcohol is involved, there are many concerns. I would like to propose several
benefits to making this exception, as well as ways to minimize the risk of unfavorable behavior.
Safety would be the top priority: the beer garden would limit the number of tokens available for
purchase to reduce the risk of over consumption, local law enforcement would be present to
maintain safety, and the area would follow all required fencing and boundaries to eliminate the
risk of underage individuals entering.
Aside from creating a festival atmosphere in the park, all of the money raised by the beer garden
will be donated to the Splash Park fund. If no one will step in to provide the pancake feed we
will partner with other local organizations to provide food trucks for the fourth of July.
By having a beer garden, we could draw people to the park, provide food and entertainment,
raise money for the Splash Park, and create another fun tradition. Thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Devin Brossard

Council Public Art Committee and the Parks, Arts and Recreation Commission.
Immaculate Conception mosaic sphere: Rita Meehan is presenting a sculpture proposal of a
rainbow mosaic sphere for the Centennial Trail to celebrate Arlington Immaculate
Conception’s 100 year anniversary. It has been agreed that if approved, the Church would

County Parks has approved this project (bridge is property of Snohomish County).
Gong/Bell for Centennial Trail: The Arlington Arts Council would like to purchase and donate
a gong/bell for the Centennial Trail near Lebanon Park. The Public Art Committee reviewed
and approved the concept of a gong, so that approval could be asked of the City, before final
selection of a gong is made. AAC has put out a call for art and final selection will be made by
the Arlington Arts Council Public Art Committee. Safety, vandal resistance, maintenance and
sound will be deciding factors.
HISTORY:
The public art process calls for City Council to give final approval on public art projects, after
being reviewed by staff, Public Art Committee and PARC. The Arlington Arts Council has
proven to select quality works for the Public Art Collection.

Proposed Ordinance
Memo from David Ryan re Event Processes / Fly-In
Proposed Fly-In Special Events Agreement (informational)
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN
Legal—Steve Peiffle, City Attorney; Airport—David Ryan, Airport Manager
EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: None
BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A
LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Council is asked to review a proposed mutual benefit agreement ordinance which would
allow the Airport staff to waive event use fees.
HISTORY:
The Airport staff would like for all events, including the Fly-In, to follow the same process as
all other events in the City, and to utilize the Special Events process spelled out in AMC
Chapter 5.44.
Staff believes this event provides sufficient benefit to the airport to justify waiving the land
use fees for the event. The Fly-In event creates a substantial amount of revenue for the City.
Most other Fly-In events at other airports do not charge for the use of the property.
In order to waive the fees under state law, the City must have in effect an ordinance or other
process to demonstrate sufficient benefit to waive the fees. The ordinance follows the
requirements of state law (RCW 14.20.120(8)-(9) in setting up such a process.
This process also mirrors policies for Providing Property for Public Community Purposes
section of the FAA’s Policies and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue
document, found here:https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-1999-02-16/pdf/99-3529.pdf

Arlington Municipal Airport
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
18204 59th Avenue Arlington, WA 98223
TO: Arlington City Council
FROM: David Ryan
DATE: April 29th, 2016
SUBJECT: Event Processes / Fly-In
City Council:
As you are well aware, we have spent the greater part of my time here working together
on processes and policy. In an effort to continue that work, I am proposing to change the
Arlington Fly-In to the same process used in all other City and airport events.
Whether it’s the “Show and Shine” downtown or “Three on Three” basketball event at
the airport, all use the Event Permit process. This process ensures that all City
departments are advised of the event, have a chance to comment on, and are able to place
any restrictions or provisions in the Event Permit. For some of these events the Airport or
City may charge a land use fee, for others this fee is waived. (Generally on basis of the
benefit brought to the City by the event or by state or federal regulations.)
The Arlington Fly-In has typically had a lease for the event. Where and when this started,
I don’t know, but ever since I’ve been here I wondered why the Fly-in was charged for an
event that brought so much revenue and interest to our community and airport? Having
begun the Fly-in at Friday Harbor and running it for 5 years (with no land use charges),
and before that at the City of Tulsa (with no land use charges) I have been involved in the
fly-in planning process. Out of curiosity, I contacted the management at Whitman Field,
Oshkosh, Wisconsin, site of the nation’s largest fly-in and the management at Lakeland,
Florida (home of “Sun-N-Fun) the second largest fly-in event, and asked if the City or
county charged a fee to the sponsor of the event. The answer was that they did not. The
Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is the sponsor for both of these events and are a
non-profit organization that fall under 501 3-C.
I propose changing from a lease format to the same Event Permit process that all other
events use. I also propose not charging a fee for the use of airport land for this event. I
propose these changes for several reasons. The most important are that this event brings
Arlington Municipal Airport
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
18204 59th Avenue Arlington, WA 98223
in a lot more visitor dollars than we charge for the land (Approx. $6,300.00 for land use).
State and federal regulations permit this use (see below.). The Arlington Fly-In (like the
EAA) is a 501 3C non-profit organization. Money saved by the Arlington Fly-in could
be used to promote the event, bring more aircraft and in general, improve the event and
attendance. It allows any based fuel vendor or FBO to do business at the event. And, it
brings the event into the same process that is used for all other City Events.
Some of the criteria required for the use of this land without charge are spelled out below
and are included in RCW 14.08.120 (9), The Federal Register (Vol. 64 No. 30) and The
Airport Compliance Handbook (FAA 5190-6b). All documents reflect basically the same
requirements and language.
1. RCW 14.08.120 (9)
a. The lease or license of the subject property enhances public
acceptance of the airport in a community in the immediate area of
the airport;
b. The subject property is put to a desired public recreational or other
community use by the community in the immediate area of the
airport;
c. The desired community use and the community goodwill that would
be generated by such community use serves the business interest of
the airport in ways that can be articulated and demonstrated;
d. The desired community use does not adversely affect the capacity,
security, safety, or operations of the airport;
e. At the time the community use is contemplated, the subject property
is not reasonably expected to be used by an aeronautical tenant or
otherwise be needed for airport operations in the foreseeable future;
f. At the time the community use is contemplated, the subject property
would not reasonably be expected to produce more than de minimis
revenue.
g. The proposed agreement does not preclude reuse of the subject
property for airport purposes if, in the opinion of the Commission,
reuse of the subject property would provide greater benefits to the
airport than continuation of the community use;
h. The Commission ensures that airport revenue does not support the
capital or operating costs associated with the community use;
i. The proposed agreement is not to a for-profit organization or for the
benefit of private individuals;
Arlington Municipal Airport
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
18204 59th Avenue Arlington, WA 98223
j. The proposed agreement is not for a period that exceeds ten years;
and
k. The proposed agreement is subject to the requirement that if the term
of the lease exceeds one year, then a lease or other contract
obligations must be secured by rental insurance, bond, or other
security satisfactory to the Commission in an amount equal to at
least one year's rent, or as otherwise determined by the Commission
for good cause.
2. The Airport finds that the proposed use by the Arlington Fly-In enhances the public
acceptance of the airport and serves the airport's business interests in a number of
ways, including, but not limited to the following:
a. The Fly-In provides a significant increase in revenues to the local economy and
airport through lodging, food, merchandise and fuel sales.
b. The Fly-In outreach materials include the Arlington Airport in all advertising
and promotional materials, including print ads, brochures, posters and flyers.
c. The Fly-In creates substantial public interest through media coverage, word of
mouth, and through the participants in showcasing the Arlington Airport as a
center for education, recreation and industry.
d. The Fly-in provides an example to the community of employment opportunities
at the airport including interest in aerospace manufacturing, aircraft
maintenance, professional pilot training and other trades and careers that are
directly or indirectly associated with aviation.
e. The Arlington Fly-In provides numerous educational opportunities through the
FAA WINGS program, training seminars, scholarships and aircraft
maintenance training opportunities.
