A site-specific rezone is a site-specific change in the zoning classification of a property or properties. A site-specific rezone process shall not be used to amend a Comprehensive Plan designation, therefore a site-specific rezone application must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation. If a rezone application is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan may be submitted for concurrent review.

The process for review by the planning commission and the city council shall be the same as provided for in SMC 17.155.030. If the city receives a concurrent application for a site-specific rezone and an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, then the city will review the application to first determine whether the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment satisfies the necessary criteria; if it does not, the site-specific rezone will not be considered. (Ord. 1499 § 11 (Exh. I), 2021; Ord. 1084 § 3, 2000; Ord. 1025, 1998).
