A. This chapter establishes the criteria that the city will use in making a decision upon an application for an EPF other than the Anacortes Airport. The city’s planning director (director) shall develop a list of essential public facilities. These facilities shall meet the definition of essential public facilities under AMC Chapter 19.12. A use or facility may be added to the list of essential public facilities if the use meets the definition of an essential public facility. The list required by this section shall be filed and maintained with the city finance department.

B. This chapter shall serve to establish the process for permitting those uses determined to be EPFs and which satisfy the criteria set forth under AMC 17.75.060. The director shall determine whether a proposed facility shall be reviewed as an EPF and subject to this review process. (Ord. 2794 § 1 (Att. A), 2008)
