TITLE
Report and request for a motion by the County Council Committee of the Whole to send final draft Countywide Planning Policy amendments to the cities for review and approval
BODY
SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:
The Washington State Legislature approved ESSSB 5254 relating to the Growth Management Act’s “Review and Evaluation” (buildable lands) program requirements in 2017. This legislation imposes new requirements that Whatcom County must address, in close coordination with the cities, over the next several years (see RCW 36.70A.215). One of these requirements is to amend the Countywide Planning Policies (CWPPs). Under an existing interlocal agreement, the Council Committee of the Whole sends final draft CWPPs to the cities for approval. If approved by the cities, the CWPPs will come back to Council at a later date for adoption.
