The planning commission and the city council may consider amendments to the Comprehensive Plan as a result of an emergency situation. Situations involving official, legal, or administrative actions, such as those to immediately avoid an imminent danger to public health and safety, prevent imminent danger to public or private property, prevent an imminent threat of serious environmental degradation, or address the absence of adequate and available public facilities or services, decisions by the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board or the state or federal courts, or actions of a state agency or office or the State Legislature, affecting Stanwood will be reviewed by the planning commission with advice from the planning director and city attorney to determine if an appropriate “emergency” exists, necessitating an emergency Comprehensive Plan amendment. Capital projects which are fully funded by noncity revenue (i.e., an outside grant) are not considered emergencies and, therefore, amendment of the Comprehensive Plan is not necessary; however, such projects shall be added to the capital facilities program if required during the next annual amendment. (Ord. 1025, 1998).
