BODY

SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:

 

The County Council worked with the Cascadia Law Group to develop proposed Comprehensive Plan and Whatcom County Code (WCC) amendments primarily relating to fossil fuel and renewable fuel facilities in the Cherry Point Area (some of the amendments apply to various land uses on a countywide basis). The Council approved Resolution 2019-037 on August 7, 2019, forwarding the proposed amendments to the Planning Commission for review. The Planning Commission issued their Findings of Fact and Reasons for Action, Conclusions, and Recommendations on August 13, 2020. Council has met numerous times as Committee of the Whole to discuss the proposed amendments and it has been suggested that a schedule for completion of review be established.
