Comprehensive Plan Update: Department of Community Development (DCD) Director Carl Smith stated that DCD has enacted a new process that they believe will enable staff to issue permits within one day to a week. This is key for the public. If an individual's application is complete, it works. Commissioner Johnson asked how DCD is handling the permits that are behind? Director Smith replied that the department is juggling schedules to try and accommodate past permits. Director Smith stated that they are under time constraints to get the population numbers agreed to and adopted. The City of Port Townsend and the County have slightly different schedules so that is something they are working on. DCD plans on taking one year to work on this and submitting to the Board of County Commissioners for review by December 2016. The City of Port Townsend will have theirs ready by that time as well. He added that he will be working with County Administrator Philip Morley and the City's counterparts to organize the first meeting of the steering committee. County Administrator Morley stated that the Office of Fiscal Management (OFM) calculates growth projections. They do a high, medium and low projection. He added that the practice in the past has been to use the medium projection. Actual growth has been below medium. Director Smith stated DCD is using the medium calculation, following past practice.

He added that our County's main city is on the other end of the Peninsula and he is interested in how this will work out.
