NOTICE OF DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (DNS) AND A
PLANNING COMMISSION
PUBLIC HEARING
Whitman County Planning issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (Chapter 197-11 WAC) for the following project:
Whitman County proposes amendments to its zoning ordinances, Chapter 19.03 – Definitions, adding a definition for government facilities and offices; Chapter 19.10 – Agricultural District, adding agricultural repair shops to conditional uses and adding government offices to permitted uses; Chapter 19.15 and 19.16 – North and South Pullman Corridor Districts, making an exception to a time limitation for the creation of legal lots; Chapter 19.20 – Heavy Commercial District, adding auto and agricultural dealerships and repair shops to permitted uses and giving flexibility to the County Planner to allow non-listed permitted uses of a similar nature to those listed; Chapter 19.30 - Light Industrial District, adding a clarification to the Purpose and Intent section, adding some uses to the permitted use list and adding the same language as in Chapter 19.20 allowing the Planner flexibility in the list of permitted uses; and Chapter 19.31 – Heavy Industrial District, adding the permitted use flexibility for the Planner.
After review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with us, the Planning Office has determined that this proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment.
A public hearing will be held by the Whitman County Planning Commission on July 20, 2016, in the Auditorium, first floor of the Whitman County Public Service Building, at 7:00 PM.
Copies of the DNS are available at no charge from the Planning Office, Whitman County Public Service Building (2nd Floor), N. 310 Main St., Colfax, WA 99111.
