Clallam County voters could have the opportunity to repeal the county’s Critical Areas Ordinance when they head to the polls Nov. 6.
On Friday, county Elections Coordinator Patty Rosand confirmed that the repeal measure had enough certified signatures to qualify for the general election ballot.
The Critical Areas Ordinance creates streamside buffers and restricts development near waterways with the potential to support salmon.
In accordance with law, the county commissioners will have 30 days to decide whether to adopt the petition as law or place it on the ballot.
If the repeal is put on the Nov. 6 general election ballot, commissioners have the option of putting a critical areas ordinance on the ballot with it.
Voters will then have the opportunity to choose which they prefer.
