Concerning growth management comprehensive plans.
SB 5558 updates the requirements and timelines for local governments in Washington State to review and revise their comprehensive land use plans and development regulations. It primarily affects counties and cities that plan under the Growth Management Act, ensuring their plans comply with state requirements. The bill allows certain small cities and towns (under 500 population with specific criteria) to opt for a partial review of their plans, focusing on critical areas, capital facilities, and transportation elements. Additionally, it requires counties to regularly review their designated urban growth areas to accommodate projected population growth over a 20-year period. The bill also sets rules for public participation programs and generally limits comprehensive plan amendments to once a year, with specific exceptions.
