R-3 <br />zones permitted minimum'lot sizes of 3 acres. The Kittitas County <br />Planning Commission and the Kittitas County Board of County <br />Commissioners (BOCC) approved the rezone. <br />Woods, a neighboring landowner, challenged the rezone.

The GMA required a minimum <br />of five acres in rural areas. Woods also argued the BOCC decision <br />was not supported by substantial evidence. Woods further argued <br /> <br /> <br />'. <br /> <br />})~~ <br /> <br />j&~%~;""""j'~"i'hU.,;i<~~ti~~;~~")f' p~~;lo~;':po.';',!"l': <br /> <br />. :S1::Pa-urMN 55164-0526.
