Description
A community council has authority under RCW 35.14.040 to approve or disapprove comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances enacted by a city to the extent they apply to property within the community council's jurisdiction. Here, the East Bellevue Community Council had approved amendments to the comprehensive plan which eliminated open use designations, but then disapproved an ordinance enacted by the City of Bellevue to bring zoning for land formerly subject to the open use designation into conformance with the amended plan. At issue is whether a community council has authority under RCW 35.14.040 to disapprove a rezoning ordinance setting particular densities for parcels of land within a range of densities allowed under an amended comprehensive plan previously approved by the community council. We hold that a community council has such authority, and reverse the Court of Appeals.
