A. Definitions.
1. "Law, safety, and justice agencies" shall mean the following county agencies: adult detention, superior court, judicial administration, district court, public safety, prosecuting attorney, and public defense.
2. "Regional justice center" shall mean a structure or group of structures which, in order to operate efficiently and provide convenient access for the users of the system, accommodates a full-service jail and locates on the same site space for other agencies of the law, safety, and justice system on no more than two sites.
B. Intent and purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to approve and adopt the Facility Master Plan as revised (Attachment A, dated July 8, 1991, to Ordinance 10023*, and incorporated by reference herein) and Option G (suburban justice center) as the adopted facility option to provide additional permanent jail capacity and space for law, safety, and justice agencies as defined herein.
C. Phasing of construction. The planning for and construction of additional space shall occur in two phases. The first phase (Phase I) encompasses the facilities and programs to accommodate the growth of the law, safety and justice agencies through the year 2000. The second phase (Phase II) encompasses the facilities and programs to accommodate the growth of the law, safety, and justice agencies through the year 2010. Before proceeding with Phase II, the King County executive and council shall follow the process set forth in any applicable capital planning ordinance in effect at that time.
D. Type and size of facilities. The type of facility shall be a regional justice center as designated in Option G of the Facility Master Plan except that the location of the Phase II facility will not be at the same location as the Phase I facility. Sufficient finished space shall be constructed in Phase I to accommodate the needs of the law, safety, and justice agencies as specified in the Facility Master Plan as revised except that of the 931 additional jail beds, 571 will be finished and 360 will be unfinished or provided through additions of pods to the core facilities. Planning and construction for Phase I shall incorporate sufficient land and a flexible design to allow future expansion. To accommodate law, safety and justice growth needs for Phase I and Phase II construction, the county executive shall identify, evaluate, and recommend sufficient alternative land sites to allow selection and purchase of two separate land sites after full environmental review.
E. Other elements approved. Elements of the facility master plan not described in this section are hereby approved and adopted as specified in the Facility Master Plan as revised. (Ord. 10023 §§ 1-5, 1991).

5.08.020 Site selection criteria.
A. Definitions.
1. "Site criteria" shall refer to specific technical and community screening elements for evaluating potential land sites. These criteria are recommended by the executive and contained in the Citizens' Site Advisory Committee's Site Criteria Report (Attachment A to Ordinance 10030*) which will be used to evaluate all identified sites for their suitability as reasonable potential locations for a regional justice center.
2. "Siting process" shall mean the process by which potential sites are identified, evaluated, narrowed and final recommendations are made. The siting criteria are one evaluation element of the entire site selection process.
3. "Siting process summary" shall refer to the siting process summary document (Attachment B to Ordinance 10030*) which outlines the siting process to be used, including the site criteria, for recommending locations for a regional justice center and inclusion in the site specific environmental review process.
4. "Citizens' Site Advisory Committee (CSAC)" shall refer to the executive's appointed 12 member citizens' group responsible for identifying, evaluating, and recommending potential and reasonable sites to the King County executive for a regional justice center.
5. "Regional justice center" shall mean a structure or group of structures which, in order to operate efficiently and provide convenient access for the users of the system, accommodates a full-service jail and space for other agencies of the law, safety, and justice system at a single site.

*Available in the King County Archives.
B. Siting process document adopted. The siting process summary document, as revised, is hereby approved and adopted. In doing so, the county council approves the site screening criteria and a process for identifying, evaluating and recommending potential reasonable alternative sites for a regional justice center.
C. Environmental review. The executive's selection of three to five reasonable sites (as outlined in Stage 2 of the Siting Process Summary) shall be evaluated in a site specific environmental review. This Phase II site specific EIS shall discuss the environmental impacts as determined by the EIS scoping process, including mitigation, associated with the possibility of placing a regional justice center on one of between three to five alternative sites. (Ord. 10030 §§ 1-3, 1991).
5.08.030 Siting. The county council finds that the Final (programmatic) Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and the Final Supplemental (site specific) Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) related to the proposed Phase I Regional Justice Center, are adequate for making a decision to site the Regional Justice Center under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). (Ord. 10406 § 4, 1992).
