A. For those proposals for which the county is the lead agency, the responsible official shall be the director of the department of community development or his/her appointed designee.
B. For all proposals for which the county is the lead agency, the responsible official shall make the threshold determination, supervise scoping and preparation of any required environmental impact statement (EIS), and perform any other functions assigned to the lead agency or responsible official by those sections of the SEPA rules that were adopted by reference in Section 18.04.020.

(Ord. 416 (2008) § 10, 2008: Ord. 368 (2006) § 13 (part), 2006)
A. In order to accommodate infill development in the Silverdale Infill Area, except for in the Urban Low Residential (UL) and Urban Restricted (UR) zones, the county establishes the following exempt levels for construction of residential developments, mixed use, and commercial nonretail developments under RCW 43.21C.229.
1. For residential developments in the Urban Medium Residential (UM) and Urban High Residential (UH) zones, up to the maximum total number of available trips in the Silverdale Mixed Use Infill Trip Bank, as established by the department of public works; or
2. For (a) mixed use developments or (b) commercial (nonretail) developments in the Neighborhood Commercial (NC), Highway/Tourist Commercial (HTC), Regional Commercial (RC), and Mixed Use (MU) zones, up to the maximum total number of available trips in the Silverdale Mixed Use Infill Trip Bank, as established in subsection (A)(3) of this section. The exemption does not apply to stand-alone nonretail commercial development that exceeds sixty-five thousand square feet in size.
3. The Silverdale Mixed Use Infill Trip Bank is as follows:
a. The residential and mixed use trip bank equals seven hundred seventy-five new trips between 2010 and 2025.
b. The commercial (nonretail) trip bank equals six thousand two hundred eighty new trips between 2010 and 2025.
B. In determining whether or not a proposal is exempt, the department shall consider a traffic analysis based on the quantity of development units and the related applicable trip generation. The traffic analysis shall be filed by the applicant at the same time as an application for a permit, license, certificate or other approval. Traffic analysis will follow Traffic Impact Analysis guidelines as set forth in Chapter 20.04. Developments that qualify for this SEPA exemption would still be subject to the Transportation Facilities Concurrency Ordinance (Chapter 20.04). Development will be allowed under this exemption up to the point that all the trips in the trip bank have been taken, unless denied by concurrency.
C. Upon approval of the proposal according to the provisions of Title 21, the department shall document the change in total available trips in accordance with adopted administrative guidelines. These exempt levels are not applicable once the total available trips have been utilized.
D. The department of public works will monitor the total number of trips taken from the Silverdale Mixed Use Infill Trip Bank as part of the development approval process.
(Ord. 496 (2012) § 4, 2012: Ord. 493 (2012) § 4, 2012; Ord. 416 (2008) § 11, 2008: Ord. 368 (2006) § 14, 2006)
(Ord. 416 (2008) § 12, 2008: Ord. 368 (2006) § 15, 2006: Ord. 99-A (1991) § 3(B), 1991)
A. Except as provided in subsection (D) of this section, a completed environmental checklist (or a copy), in the form provided in WAC 197-11-960, shall be filed at the same time as an application for a permit, license, certificate, or other approval not specifically exempted in this chapter; except, a checklist is not needed if the county and applicant agree an EIS is required, SEPA compliance has been completed, or SEPA compliance has been initiated by another agency. The county shall use the environmental checklist to determine the lead agency, and if the county is the lead agency, for determining the responsible official and for making the threshold determination.
D. For projects submitted as planned actions under WAC 197-11-164, the county shall use its existing environmental checklist form or may modify the environmental checklist form as provided in WAC 197-11-315. The modified environmental checklist form may be prepared and adopted along with or as part of a planned action ordinance, or developed after the ordinance is adopted. In either case, a proposed modified environmental checklist form must be sent to the Department of Ecology to allow at least a thirty-day review prior to use.
(Ord. 416 (2008) § 13, 2008: Ord. 368 (2006) § 16, 2006: Ord. 99 (1984) § 3(C), 1991)
A. As provided in this section and WAC 197-11-350, the responsible official may issue a DNS based on conditions attached to the proposal by the responsible official or on changes to, or clarifications of, the proposal made by the applicant.
3. The responsible official should respond to the request for early notice within thirty working days. The response shall:
b. State whether the county currently considers issuance of a DS likely and, if so, indicate the general or specific area(s) of concern that is/are leading the county to consider a DS; and
4. As much as possible, the county should assist the applicant with identification of impacts to the extent necessary to formulate mitigation measures.
5. When an applicant submits a changed or clarified proposal, along with a revised or amended environmental checklist, the county shall base its threshold determination on the changed or clarified proposal and should make the determination within fifteen days of receiving the changed or clarified proposal:
a. If the county indicated specific mitigation measures in its response to the request for early notice, and the applicant changed or clarified the proposal to include those specific mitigation measures, the county shall issue and circulate a DNS under WAC 197-11-340(2).
b. If the county indicated areas of concern, but did not indicate specific mitigation measures that would allow it to issue a DNS, the county shall make the threshold determination, issuing a DNS or DS as appropriate.
c. The applicant’s proposed mitigation measures (clarifications, changes or conditions) must be in writing and must be specific. For example, proposals to “control noise” or “prevent storm water runoff” are inadequate, whereas proposals to “muffle machinery to X decibels” or “construct two-hundred-foot storm water retention pond at Y location” are adequate.
C. The county shall reconsider the mitigated DNS based on timely comments and may retain or modify the MDNS or, if the county determines that significant adverse impacts are likely, withdraw the mitigated DNS or supporting documents. When a mitigated DNS is modified, the lead agency shall send the modified mitigated DNS to agencies, local tribes and jurisdictions.
D. Mitigation measures incorporated in the mitigated DNS shall be deemed conditions of approval of the permit decision and may be enforced in the same manner as any term or condition of the permit, or enforced in any manner specifically prescribed by the county.
E. If the county’s tentative decision on a permit or approval does not include mitigation measures that were incorporated in a mitigated DNS for the proposal, the county should evaluate the threshold determination to assure consistency with WAC 197-11-340(3)(a) (withdrawal of DNS).
F. The county’s written response under subsection (B) of this section shall not be construed as a determination of significance. In addition, preliminary discussion of clarifications or changes to a proposal, as opposed to a written request for early notice, shall not bind the county to consider the clarifications or changes in its threshold determination.
(Ord. 416 (2008) § 14, 2008: Ord. 368 (2006) § 17, 2006: Ord. 99-A (1991) § 3(D), 1991)

A. Preparation of draft and final EISs (DEIS and FEIS) and draft and final supplemental EISs (SEIS) is the responsibility of the department of community development under the direction of the responsible official. Before the county issues an EIS, the responsible official shall be satisfied that it complies with this chapter and WAC Chapter 197-11.
B. The DEIS and FEIS or draft and final SEIS may be prepared by county staff or by a consultant selected by the county or the applicant. If the responsible official requires an EIS for a proposal and determines that someone other than the county will prepare the EIS, the responsible official shall notify the applicant immediately after completion of the threshold determination. The responsible official shall also notify the applicant of the county’s procedure for EIS preparation, including approval of the DEIS and FEIS prior to distribution. The applicant is responsible for paying the costs associated with preparation of the EIS.
C. The county may require an applicant to provide information the county does not possess, including specific investigations. However, the applicant is not required to supply information that is not required under this chapter or that is being requested from another agency. (This does not apply to information the county may request under another ordinance, regulation, or statutes).

A. The analysis of the following additional elements may be included as part of the environment for the purpose of EIS content, but does not add to the criteria for threshold determinations or perform any other function or purpose under this chapter:
1. Economy;
2. Social policy analysis;
3. Cost-benefit analysis;
4. Any other element that may be dictated by special circumstances associated with the proposal.
B. Inclusion of these elements in an EIS will be at the discretion of the responsible official as determined by the scoping process.

A. Whenever possible, the county shall integrate the public notice required under this section with existing notice procedures for the county’s nonexempt permit(s) or approval(s) required for the proposal.
B. Whenever Kitsap County issues a DNS under WAC 197-11-340(2) or a DS under WAC 197-11-360(3) the county shall give public notice as follows:
1. If public notice is required for the nonexempt license, the notice shall state whether a DS or DNS has been issued and when comments are due.
3. If no public notice is otherwise required for the permit or approval, the county shall give notice of the DNS or DS by:
c. Mailing a copy of the notice to property owners within four hundred feet of the proposal.
4. Whenever the county issues a DS under WAC 197-11-360(3), the county shall state the scoping procedure for the proposal in the DS as required in WAC 197-11-408 and in the public notice.
D. Whenever the county issues a DEIS under WAC 197-11-455(5) or a SEIS under WAC 197-11-620, notice of the availability of those documents shall be given by:
4. Mailing a copy of the notice to property owners within four hundred feet of the proposal.

A. The director of the department of community development or his/her appointed designee shall be responsible for preparation of written comments for the county in response to a consultation request prior to a threshold determination, participation in scoping, and reviewing a DEIS.
B. The department of community development shall be responsible for the county’s compliance with WAC 197-11-550 whenever the county is a consulted agency and is authorized to develop operating procedures that will ensure that responses to consultation requests are prepared in a timely fashion and include data from all appropriate departments of the county.
