    (1) In addition to the major industrial development allowed under RCW 36.70A.365 and in addition to the authority to establish an urban growth area outside of a city allowed under RCW 36.70A.110, a county required or choosing to plan under RCW 36.70A.040 ((that has a population greater than two hundred fifty thousand and that is part of a metropolitan area that includes a city in another state with a population greater than two hundred fifty thousand)) may establish, in consultation with cities consistent with procedures and provisions of RCW 36.70A.210, a process for designating ((a bank of no more than two master planned locations for major industrial activity outside)) and determining the allowed uses within industrial land banks.  The industrial land banks shall consist of no more than two noncontiguous locations, which may include multiple development sites outside urban growth areas.

    (2) ((A master planned location for major industrial developments outside an urban growth area may be included in the urban industrial land bank for the county if criteria including, but not limited to, the following are met)) "Industrial land bank" means a location designated for one or more manufacturing, industrial, commercial, or high-technology businesses, and related office uses.  The industrial land bank shall not be for the purpose of retail commercial development or multiple tenant office parks.  An industrial land bank may be designated at (a) a unique location or a location with unique physical characteristics, or (b) a location already characterized by, or adjacent to, some existing industrial or commercial development.

    (3) In order to designate an industrial land bank characterized by a unique location or unique physical characteristics, the county must make findings that:  (a) The location of the industrial land bank is unique or is characterized by unique physical characteristics such as size, or proximity to transportation facilities, natural resources, or related industries that support its designation as an industrial land bank; and (b) the necessary infrastructure to support the industrial land bank is available or can be provided by private or public sources in a reasonable manner and time frame.

    (4) In order to designate an industrial land bank already characterized by some existing industrial or commercial development, the county must make findings that:  (a) An inventory has been conducted and there are no suitable locations available for the industrial land bank within existing urban growth areas within the county; (b) the establishment of the industrial land bank is important to achieving documented economic development goals, policies, or plans of the county or state; (c) the necessary infrastructure to support the industrial land bank is available or can be provided by private or public sources in a reasonable manner and time frame; and (d) the industrial land bank location is characterized by some existing industrial or commercial development or is adjacent to an area characterized by such development.

    (5) Final approval of an industrial land bank shall be through adoption of the comprehensive plan or an adopted amendment to the comprehensive plan, and development regulations that are consistent with and implement the comprehensive plan, except that RCW 36.70A.130(2) does not apply so that inclusion or exclusion of industrial land bank locations may be considered at any time.

    (6) Nothing in this section may be construed to alter the requirements for a county to comply with chapter 43.21C RCW.

    Once an industrial land bank has been approved, development that qualifies as an allowed use and that the county determines meets the requirements of subsections (7) and (8) of this section may be located there.

    (7) Development in an industrial land bank characterized by unique location or unique physical characteristics must meet the following:

    (a) ((New)) Infrastructure is provided for and/or applicable impact fees are paid;

    (b) ((Transit-oriented site planning)) Transportation impacts are mitigated and traffic demand management programs are implemented;

    (c) Buffers are provided between the ((major)) industrial ((development)) land bank and adjacent nonurban areas;

    (d) Environmental ((protection)) impacts including impacts to air and water quality ((has)) have been ((addressed and provided for)) mitigated in accordance with chapter 43.21C and/or 36.70A RCW;

    (f) Provision is made to mitigate adverse impacts on designated agricultural lands, forest lands, and mineral resource lands; and

    (g) ((The plan for the major industrial development is consistent with the county's development regulations established for protection of critical areas; and

    (h) An inventory of developable land has been conducted as provided in RCW 36.70A.365.

    (3) In selecting master planned locations for inclusion in the urban industrial land bank, priority shall be given to locations that are adjacent to, or in close proximity to, an urban growth area.

    (4) Final approval of inclusion of a master planned location in the urban industrial land bank shall be considered an adopted amendment to the comprehensive plan adopted pursuant to RCW 36.70A.070, except that RCW 36.70A.130(2) does not apply so that inclusion or exclusion of master planned locations may be considered at any time.

    (5) Once a master planned location has been included in the urban industrial land bank, manufacturing and industrial businesses that qualify as major industrial development under RCW 36.70A.365 may be located there.

    (6) Nothing in this section may be construed to alter the requirements for a county to comply with chapter 43.21C RCW.

    (7) The authority of a county to engage in the process of including or excluding master planned locations from the urban industrial land bank shall terminate on December 31, 1998.  However, any location included in the urban industrial land bank on December 31, 1998, shall remain available for major industrial development as long as the criteria of subsection (2) of this section continue to be met.

    (8) Development in an industrial land bank already characterized by some existing industrial or commercial development must meet the following:

    (a) Infrastructure is provided for and/or applicable impact fees are paid;

    (b) Transportation impacts are mitigated and traffic demand management programs are implemented;

    (c) Buffers are provided between the industrial land bank and adjacent nonurban areas;
