Title
Ordinance 22-003, relating to the Growth Management Act, amending the Population and Employment Growth Targets in Appendix B and the Urban Growth Area Map and Southwest Snohomish County Municipal Urban Growth Area Map in Appendix A of the Countywide Planning Policies for Snohomish County to establish 2044 Initial Population and Employment Growth Targets
body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Stephen Toy
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve-Ken Klein 1/6/22
PURPOSE: To adopt amendments to Appendix B (Growth Targets) and Appendix A (UGA and MUGA maps) of the Countywide Planning Policies consistent with the 2044 initial population and employment growth target recommendation of Snohomish County Tomorrow.
BACKGROUND: The proposal would amend the Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs), replacing the 2035 population and employment growth targets currently contained in Appendix B with 2044 initial population and employment growth targets. The 2044 initial targets were recommended by the Snohomish County Tomorrow (SCT) Steering Committee on December 1, 2021 and were developed using the SCT process called for in CPP GF-5. The 2044 initial targets are based on the most recent Office of Financial Management (OFM) medium/most likely population projection for Snohomish County, and the Puget Sound Regional Council's (PSRC's) Regional Growth Strategy. The UGA and MUGA maps currently contained in Appendix A would also be replaced with maps showing updated city boundary information and references to the updated estimates and targets in Appendix B. Once adopted, jurisdictions in Snohomish County will be required to use the 2044 initial growth targets for at least one of the plan alternatives evaluated for their 2024 GMA plan updates.
