Chapter 11.23
MANSON URBAN GROWTH AREA
Sections:
11.23.050 Planned developments.
11.23.010 Purpose.
(1) The purpose of this chapter is to provide development regulations for the Manson community that are consistent with, and implement the Manson sub-area comprehensive plan. The standards are specific to each district and are described in the different sections of this code. Unless otherwise regulated by this chapter, development in the Manson urban growth area shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Chelan County Code, including, but not limited to, regulations governing development, design, procedures, land divisions, critical areas, etc.
(2) Production, processing, collective gardens, and cooperatives of any marijuana or cannabis products, all as defined pursuant to Chapters 69.50 and 69.51A RCW, are each prohibited and not allowed in any zone in unincorporated Chelan County, including the Manson UGA.
Marijuana research activities, facilities, and uses are hereby permanently prohibited in all areas of unincorporated Chelan County, including, but not limited to, urban growth areas.
No application for a building permit, conversion or change in use permit, certificate of occupancy, tenant improvement permit, variance, conditional use permit, or other use or development permit or approval of any kind whatsoever for such uses shall be accepted as either consistent or complete by any county department. (Res. 2017-53 §§ 2, 3, 6/27/17; Res. 2016-32 (Exh. A) (part), 3/29/16: Res. 2009-162 (Exh. A) (part), 12/28/09).
11.23.020 Zoning districts.
The following zoning district categories, their related purpose statements and the applicable zoning map symbols are established to carry out the identified purposes of this chapter. The zoning districts are hereby designated by a legend on the official zoning map, together with all explanatory matter thereon, entitled “Manson Urban Growth Area Official Zoning Map.” The official zoning map is hereby adopted and declared to be a part of this chapter:
(1) Residential Districts. The residential classifications are for areas which are, or will become, residential which may include public facilities and services. The three residential classifications are:
(A) Urban Residential-1 (UR1). Maximum density is four dwelling units per acre, with exception of the area south of Hyacinth Road between Quetilquasoon and Madeline which has a density of 2.7 dwelling units per acre or sixteen-thousand-square-foot lots.
(B) Urban Residential-2 (UR2). Maximum density is eight dwelling units per acre.
(C) Urban Residential-3 (UR3). Maximum density is twelve dwelling units per acre.
(2) Tourist Commercial (CT). The tourist commercial district is intended to apply to areas which are uniquely suited for motels, hotels, lodges, and the provision of goods and services oriented to accommodate tourists and recreational users. Commercial designations also can provide upstairs housing opportunities, which help to make communities more alive, attractive and vibrant places.
(3) Downtown Commercial (CD). The downtown commercial district is intended for areas suited for retail, commercial, mixed small-scale uses with housing ideally on upper stories and an active street environment with pedestrian amenities. Alternative parking options and parking behind or to the side of structures should be developed to facilitate new development and redevelopment of lands within this designation. Residential uses on the street level, within platted lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 within the Wapato Point Commercial Park, shall be allowed; provided, that the building does not front upon a county or state road right-of-way. For the Pedio Harris neighborhood (a 5.5-acre triangle, from the Pedio and Harris intersection north to the alley south of Wapato Way), the historical residential uses may transition over time to a mix of public space, residential and commercial uses.
(4) Manson Light Industrial (MLI). The Manson light industrial district is designed to allow warehouse industrial uses that are both already established in Manson, like fruit processing, and allow for establishment of desirable new warehouse/industrial uses in the Manson area. This area may also serve as a neighborhood employment center with some small scale neighborhood amenities.
(5) Urban Public (UP). The public lands and facilities designation is intended to be applied within urban growth areas, to provide for open space and critical areas protection, recreational opportunities, sites for necessary public facilities, utilities and services and encourage joint public/private ventures where consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan.
(Res. 2019-98, 9/3/19; Res. 2018-35 (Att. A), 4/30/18; Res. 2009-162 (Exh. A) (part), 12/28/09).

New dwellings are encouraged to place parking to the side or behind the dwelling. (Res. 2021-95 (Att. A), 7/27/21; Res. 2018-35 (Att. A), 4/30/18; Res. 2018-8 (Att. A) (part), 1/30/18; Res. 2014-38 (Atts. A, B) (part), 4/15/14; Res. 2013-34 (Att. A), 4/16/13; Res. 2011-86 (Att. A) (part), 10/4/11; Res. 2009-162 (Exh. A) (part), 12/28/09).
11.23.050 Planned developments.
(1) Purpose. The purpose of a planned development (PD) is to allow a more flexible use of land by encouraging the careful application of design components to achieve the creation of innovative developments and a more efficient utilization of public facilities in exchange for public benefits that achieve comprehensive plan goals. The PD can also be used to protect wetlands, floodways, and other critical areas from development. A PD is one that permits diversity in the location and type of structures; promotes the efficient use of land by facilitating a more economical arrangement of buildings, streets, utilities, and land use; preserves as much as possible critical areas and natural landscape features; and reduces development impacts to adjacent neighborhoods through design and mitigation.
(2) Binding. Designation of a property as a PD binds the property owners and their successors to the development described and depicted in the application, binding site plan and approval of the PD, and applicable development standards of this chapter. The PD designation confirms the PD is consistent with the purpose of and provisions for planned developments and the comprehensive plan and provides the standards by which subsequent development permits, including building permits, shall be reviewed. All provisions, conditions and requirements of the binding site plan shall be legally enforceable on the purchaser or any other person acquiring a lease or other ownership interest of any lot, parcel or tract recreated pursuant to the binding site plan that depicts the PD.
(3) Processing. A PD shall be reviewed according to the provisions for a Type III quasi-judicial review of application process as described in Title 14, Development Permit Procedures and Administration, except as otherwise provided for in this section.
(4) There are established by this chapter provisions governing a residential planned development. This is a PD devoted solely to full-time residential uses. It is intended to promote more economical and efficient use of the land, while providing a harmonious variety of housing choices within a single residential project. PD shall be processed as subject to requirements of Title 12, Subdivisions. If a PD is planned to be completed in more than two years from the date of site plan approval, the PD will be divided into phases or divisions of development, numbered sequentially in the order construction is to occur.
(5) Where Permitted and Permitted Uses. Planned developments, when approved in accordance with all applicable codes and this chapter, are established as a development permit and, as such, do not reclassify the existing zoning district designation.
(A) A PD may be permitted within the UR1, UR2 and UR3 zoning districts, provided it is connected to a public water system and a public wastewater system, and further provided the minimum project size is at least two acres.
(B) A PD may include uses associated with the zoning district on the use chart in Section 11.23.030.
(6) Protection of Critical Areas and Provision of On-Site Recreation. The following standards apply to a PD:
(A) Where critical areas exist on a site subject to a PD, the benefits derived from the PD, including without limitation decreased lot sizes and increased densities as provided for in this chapter, shall be achieved in exchange for a dedicated protection of another portion of the property containing critical areas; provided, that:
(i) The critical areas to be protected are dedicated in perpetuity, and all future rights for development are traded in exchange for the rights to derive benefits from the PD process;
(ii) Land protected by trading development density shall be protected from encroachment and maintained free of fill material, building and construction wastes, yard wastes and other debris that would diminish the property characteristics that the dedication was intended to protect. Any use of the critical areas on site shall be governed by Chelan County’s critical areas protection code regulations;
(iii) Where critical areas within the development account for less than six hundred square feet per residential unit nor less than ten percent of the overall area of the development, additional on-site recreation and open space areas, as provided for in this chapter and in the applicable zoning code provisions, shall be provided in addition to retention of critical areas in an amount that achieves a total area in critical areas/open space/on-site recreation use of at least six hundred square feet per residential unit and in no case less than ten percent of the overall area of the development.
(B) Where no critical areas exist on a site subject to a PD, the benefits derived from the PD, including without limitation decreased lot sizes and increased densities as provided for in this chapter, shall be achieved in part in exchange for a dedication of another portion of the property as on-site recreation and/or open space areas, consistent with the provisions of this chapter, that total at least six hundred square feet per residential unit and in no case less than ten percent of the overall development; provided, that:
(i) The on-site recreation may include a combination of natural areas, parks, landscaped areas, trails, and/or visual corridors; provided, that a minimum of ten thousand square feet or sixty percent of the on-site recreation, whichever is greater, is contiguous usable space;
(ii) The on-site recreation area/areas are dedicated in perpetuity, and all future rights for development are traded in exchange for the rights to derive benefits from the PD process.
(7) On-Site Recreation and/or Open Space Design Requirements. The following are minimum design requirements for PDs that incorporate on-site recreation and/or open space:
(A) Public and/or private streets, parking lots and storm drainage, except as specifically enumerated within this chapter, shall not be calculated in whole or in part as a portion of the required on-site recreation or open space.
(B) The location, shape, size and character of the open space shall be configured appropriate to the scale and character of the planned density, expected population, and topography of the area. On-site recreation areas shall be centrally located in the development and designed for active and passive recreation unless otherwise approved by the hearing examiner.
(C) A minimum of sixty percent of the on-site recreation or open space shall be concentrated and/or connected into large usable areas. The remaining forty percent may be designated as buffers, entry features, recreation facilities, streetscape, and/or used for a natural trail system or other uses approved by the hearing examiner.
(D) On-site recreation areas or open space may contain such complementary structures and improvements as are necessary and appropriate for the benefit and enjoyment of residents of the PD; provided, that the building coverage of such buildings or structures shall not exceed fifty percent of the minimum on-site recreation or open space required.
(E) At least sixty percent of the on-site recreation area or open space required shall be reasonably level to accommodate active recreational uses with slopes no greater than fifteen percent. On-site public recreation areas shall be located on a street with a minimum frontage width of thirty feet if the site is two acres or less in size and sixty feet of frontage width for areas larger than two acres.
(8) Dedicated Lands.
