(1) RCW 36.70A, the Growth Management Act, authorizes amendments to the comprehensive plan not more than once per year in order that the cumulative effects of all such proposed plan amendments are considered. A comprehensive plan map amendment request and a major rezone application may be submitted at any time, and shall be processed in accordance with the annual comprehensive plan amendment schedule.

(2) The planning commission, rather than the hearing examiner, shall have jurisdiction for major rezone applications.

(3) Processing of an application for a comprehensive plan amendment/major rezone is a legislative action and does not vest development of the property. (Ord. 1634, § 173, 2004.)
