Critical Areas Ordinance contacts and updates
The Growth Management Act requires all cities and counties in Washington to review and, if needed, update their critical areas regulations as part of the Periodic Update <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOi
JIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAyMTcuNzE3OTczMjEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5jb21tZXJjZS53YS5nb3Yvc2VydmluZy1jb21tdW5pdGllcy9ncm93dGgtbWFu

other updates, while others are not even aware that their statutory deadline has passed. We offer you some helpful tips to ensure a successful and timely update of your critical areas
regulations.
Start Early: With grant funding available, we suggest conducting a best available science review (BAS) to ensure your policies and regulations include the science that will best protect
your most critical environmental resources.
Contact your Regional Planner: Commerce has regional planners <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAyMTcuNzE3OTczM

assigned to assist with all aspects of your periodic update. Your planner can connect you with critical areas subject experts and other helpful resources.
Follow the Checklist and Handbook: Commerce has a Critical Areas Checklist <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAy

that can be used to help determine the scope of changes needed in your regulations. We have also updated our Critical Areas Handbook to include recent court cases, resources and information
from our Critical Areas, Shorelines Monitoring and Adaptive Management online workshops. Links to the checklist, handbook and the online workshops can be found on our Critical Areas

Housing updates
Housing survey - dashboards added
As you may have read in last month’s newsletter, Commerce, in partnership with the Puget Sound Regional Council <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjp

a survey on state priorities last December. The overwhelming results show housing to be the number one issue in our state and have helped set the tone for upcoming local governments
working on their periodic updates. If you are interested in breaking down the information by county (where applicable), the following two informational dashboards are both interactive
and highly useful to understanding the responses.

Just in time for periodic updates, Ted Vanegas joins us as a new Senior Planner supporting Snohomish and King Counties (and many of their associated jurisdictions). With a short visit
to Clark County as a Land Use Review Manager, Ted draws much of his experience working in our sister state, Idaho. Before moving to Washington in 2021, Ted was in charge of the City
of Boise’s historic preservation planning program. He has experience as a transportation planner working for both the Idaho Transportation Department and the regional transit authority.
He currently lives in Clark County where he and his wife enjoy camping, hiking, hanging out at the coast, and visiting local wineries and breweries.

DNR Mapping update
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOC/2023/02/7162317/4578068/dnr-geology-color-stack-aligned-flattened_crop.png>
The Washington Geological Survey (WGS) is part of the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
In January 2022, the science and research arm of WGS embarked on new project to map aggregate resources in Washington. Amy Rudko, aggregate mapper is leading the project. She is working
with Tricia Sears, geologic planning liaison, for additional outreach and project coordination.
Planning for aggregate needs and use is required under Revised Code of Washington 36.70A.131 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTcsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldG

counties and cities identify and designate aggregate resources of long-term commercial significance. The Growth Management Act requires that counties and cities base their land-use
decisions related to mineral resources and Mineral Resource Lands on information provided by the DNR. To learn more about why we are mapping aggregate resources and what the project
includes, check out our Fact Sheet <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTksInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAyMTcuNzE3OTczMjEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d

Most recently WGS has been working on the Aggregate Resource Inventory of Kitsap County. They are nearing the end of the project and expect to publish the map, scientific report, and
digital data in late March 2023. Keep your eyes open for that upcoming WGS publication! Their next aggregate resource mapping project will be with Skagit County starting in spring 2023.
