On page 9, after line 7, insert the following:
"(11)(a) If the acquisition of property interests for riparian
protection from the riparian protection account under this section
reduces the development potential of land in a county or city planning
under RCW 36.70A.040:
(i) The county or city must determine the acreage and qualitative
reduction in land suitable for development within the county or city
and docket that amount as a deficiency to the planning director of the
county or city in which the land is located; and
(ii) By December 31, 2005, and at least every five years
thereafter, each county or city shall increase the total amount of land
suitable for development within the county or city by the total
docketed acreage deficiency under (a)(i) of this subsection, with
comparable qualitative land characteristics, through enactment of an
ordinance.
(b) For the purposes of this subsection:
(i) "Docket" means compiling and maintaining a detailed list,
available to the public, of acreage and land use deficiencies in a
manner that ensures the deficiencies will be presented for the required
periodic county or city action; and
(ii) "Qualitative land characteristics" means the designated use of
the land in deficiency, its suitability for development, the general
location of that land within the county or city, its physical
characteristics, and the availability of urban levels of service for
the land."
EFFECT: Provides no net loss of buildable lands within counties and cities where moneys from the riparian protection account are used to purchase land that otherwise is suitable for development.
