LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
To: Lewis County Board of County Commissioners
From: Lewis County Planning Commission
Date: November 12, 2020
Subject: Transmittal to the BOCC: Amendment to the Lewis County Comprehensive
Plan Adjusting the Boundary of the Mossyrock UGA
Dear Commissioners:
The purpose of this report is to transmit to the Board of County Commissioners a draft
amendment to the Lewis County Comprehensive Plan that recommends adjusting the
boundary for the City of Mossyrock Urban Growth Area (UGA). The adjustment would
reduce the UGA by 60.24 acres and designate it as 'Other Rural Lands (Non Resource).'
In addition, the zoning designation would change to Rural Development District, one
residence per 5 acres (RDD-5).
General findings of fact:
1 . RCW 36.70A.1 10 requires Lewis County to designate urban growth areas through its
comprehensive plan. While the county has the responsibility to discuss how it sets
UGA boundaries with the cities, the actual designation is a decision by the county.
2. The county conducts its consultation process annually through the Lewis County
Planned Growth Committee (PGC), which provides a recommendation on such
amendments.
3. During the 2020 PGC meeting, the City of Mossyrock requested the reduction to
the UGA by 60.24 acres.
4. The PGC approved a motion at its February 20, 2020 meeting to recommend
forwarding the proposal to the Lewis County Planning Commission. This
recommendation from the PGC initiated Chapter 17.12 LCC, Public Participation
Program, for amendments to the Lewis County Comprehensive Plan.
5. The Lewis County Planning Commission held a public workshop to discuss the UGA
amendment at its September 29, 2020 meeting. At its September 29, 2020 public
meeting, the Planning Commission adopted a motion to hold a public hearing on
the amendment at its November 10, 2020 meeting.
6. The county published a legal notice in The Daily Chronicle on October 20, 2020
advertising a public hearing for the Comprehensive Plan UGA amendment.

Chapter 17.12 LCC.
8. The Lewis County Planning Commission held a public hearing and received public
testimony on the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment on November 10,
2020.
Conclusions
After closing the public hearing, the Planning Commission deliberated on the proposed

for the City of Mossyrock UGA.
1. Reflected the housing needs of countywide residents;
2. Met the intent and requirements of the Growth Management Act, the Lewis County
Countywide Planning Policies, and the Lewis County Comprehensive; and,
3. Satisfied the public interest.
Recommendation
Based on the forestated findings of fact and conclusions, the Planning Commission
recommends that the Board of County Commissioners pass an ordinance to adopt the
proposed changes to the Lewis County Comprehensive Plan adjusting the UGA
boundary for the City of Mossyrock as shown in Exhibits A. The Planning Commission
further recommends that the area retracted from the Mossyrock UGA be given a future
land use designation of "Other Rural Land (Non-Resource) in the Comprehensive Plan
and zoning designation of Rural Development District with a density of one residence
per five acres (RDD-5).
