The city may enter into a development agreement for real property outside its boundaries as part of a proposed annexation or a service agreement for nonresidential zoned property. A development agreement must set forth the development standards and other provisions that shall apply to and govern and vest the development, use, and mitigation of the development of the real property for the duration specified in the agreement. (Ord. 958 § 2, 2017)

A development agreement shall be consistent with applicable development regulations; provided, a development agreement may allow development standards different from those otherwise imposed under the Clyde Hill Municipal Code in order to provide flexibility to achieve public benefits, respond to changing community needs, or encourage modifications which provide the functional equivalent or adequately achieve the purposes of otherwise applicable city standards. Any approved development standards that differ from those in the code shall not require any further zoning reclassification, variance from city standards or other city approval apart from development agreement approval. The development standards as approved through a development agreement shall apply to and govern the development and implementation of each covered site in lieu of any conflicting or different standards or requirements elsewhere in the Clyde Hill Municipal Code. Subsequently adopted standards which differ from those of a development agreement adopted by the city as provided in this chapter shall apply to the covered development project only where necessary to address imminent public health and safety hazards or where the development agreement specifies a time period or phase after which certain identified standards can be modified. Determination of the appropriate standards for future phases which are not fully defined during the initial approval process may be postponed. Building permit applications shall be subject to the building codes in effect when the permit is applied for. (Ord. 958 § 2, 2017)
As provided in RCW 36.70B.170(4), the execution of a development agreement is a proper exercise of the city’s police power and contract authority. Accordingly, a development agreement may obligate a party to fund or provide services, infrastructure, or other facilities. A development agreement shall reserve authority to impose new or different regulations to the extent required by a serious threat to public health and safety. (Ord. 958 § 2, 2017)
Development agreements shall be consistent with RCW 36.70B.170 through 36.70B.210.
