PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Chapter 478-117 WAC, Parking and traffic rules of the University of Washington, Bothell and amendment to WAC 478-108-010 Matters subject to brief adjudication.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 28B.10.560 and 28B.20.130 for chapter 478-117 WAC; and chapter 34.05 RCW for WAC 478-108-010.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Traffic and parking rules specifically for the colocated University of Washington, Bothell/Cascadia Community College campus are needed for the safety and general welfare of the students, faculty, staff and guests. Since both institutions share the same campus location and parking infrastructure, identical rules are being sought - as chapter 478-117 WAC, Parking and traffic rules of the University of Washington, Bothell, and as chapter 132Z-116 WAC for Cascadia Community College. Additionally, the University of Washington seeks to amend WAC 478-108-010, the university's list of matters subject to brief adjudication, by adding the appeals process for parking and traffic violations outlined in chapter 478-117 WAC.
Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: Cascadia Community College and the University of Washington, Bothell will pursue identical rules governing parking and traffic at their colocated campus facilities, including holding a joint public hearing. The rules will be adopted for Titles 132Z and 478 WAC, respectively.
Process for Developing New Rule: Agency study.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication.
