23.34.007

A. The provisions of this chapter apply to all rezones except correction of mapping errors. In evaluating proposed rezones, the provisions of this chapter shall be weighed and balanced together to determine which zone or height designation best meets those provisions. In addition, the zone function statements, which describe the intended function of each zone designation, shall be used to assess the likelihood that the area proposed to be rezoned would function as intended. B. No single criterion or group of criteria shall be applied as an absolute requirement or test of the appropriateness of a zone designation, nor is there a hierarchy or priority of rezone considerations, unless a provision indicates the intent to constitute a requirement or sole criterion. C. Compliance with the provisions of this Chapter 23.34 shall constitute consistency with the Comprehensive Plan for the purpose of reviewing proposed rezones, except that Comprehensive Plan Shoreline Environment Policies shall be used in shoreline environment redesignations as provided in subsection 23.60A.042.C. D. The procedures and criteria for shoreline environment redesignations are located in Sections 23.60A.042 , 23.60A.060 , and 23.60A.220 . E. Mapping errors due to cartographic or clerical mistakes may be corrected through process required for Type V Council land use decisions in Chapter 23.76 and do not require the evaluation contemplated by the provisions of this Chapter 23.34 .
