body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Mitchell Brouse
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve-Ken Klein, 08/26/21
PURPOSE: To transmit the County Executive recommended ordinance updating the Countywide Planning Policies for Snohomish County.
BACKGROUND: RCW 36.70A.210(2) requires the Snohomish County Council to adopt a countywide policy framework in cooperation with the cities and towns within Snohomish County, to guide the development and adoption of the County, cities, and towns’ comprehensive plans.
On October 29, 2020, the Puget Sound Regional Council General Assembly adopted VISION 2050 A Plan for the Central Puget Sound Region, including updated Multicounty Planning Policies (MPPs) and Regional Growth Strategy (RGS). MPP-RC-13, within VISION 2050, requires the County to update it CPPs to address the updated MPPs prior to December 31, 2021.
The Snohomish County Tomorrow (SCT) Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) set up a subcommittee, which included representation from cities, towns, tribes, Snohomish County, Community Transit, and PSRC, to draft a proposal for updating the CPPs, of which the final version was transmitted to the PAC on May 5, 2021. The PAC reviewed the subcommittee draft and transmitted a final recommendation on to the SCT Steering Committee on June 10, 2021 and the SCT Steering Committee reviewed the PAC recommendation and made a recommendation to the County Council on July 28, 2021.
The recommended updates the CPPs include increased focus on topics such as social equity and inclusion, climate change, interjurisdictional coordination, and displacement of residents and businesses and include updates to the reasonable measures process and new criteria for the designation of countywide centers.
