Title

A MOTION relating to comprehensive planning, specifying the scope of work for the proposed amendment to the King County Comprehensive Plan in 2020 in accordance with K.C.C. 20.18 and 2018 King County Comprehensive Plan Workplan Action 14.

Body

                     WHEREAS, King County enacted the 1994 King County Comprehensive Plan ("the plan") to meet the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act, and

                     WHEREAS, K.C.C. chapter 20.18.060 establishes a process for amending the plan and a program for public participation and states that every eight years, beginning in 2021, the county shall complete a comprehensive review of the plan and consider substantive amendments to the plan, and

                     WHEREAS, K.C.C. chapter 20.18.030 allows, if adopted by motion, for a limited update to the plan at the midpoint of the eight-year cycle, and

                     WHEREAS, the 2018 amendment to the plan included workplan Action 14, directing a 2020 Comprehensive Plan Midpoint Update, and

                     WHEREAS, while K.C.C. chapter 20.18.030 allows the 2020 update to consider substantive amendments, the update is a discretionary action by the county and does not serve as the statutory update as required by RCW 36.70A.130;

                     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT MOVED by the Council of King County:

                     The scope of work for the 2020 King County Comprehensive Plan Midpoint Update in Attachment A shall proceed as established by this motion and be the basis for developing amendments to the plan, and for performing the associated environmental analysis.
