Synopsis For the 2018 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review, the Planning Commission provided considerable effort and care to develop a Vision Statement for the Comprehensive Plan. The Vision Statement provides background and support for defining the direction and characteristics important to Jefferson County, including perspectives on Rural Character. A review of the Vision Statement was done at the February 7, 2024 Planning Commission meeting. In that meeting, the general consensus is that the Vision Statement remains relevant, and only minor editing will be needed to make it current. b. Assignment The Planning Commissioners will bring suggested edits to the meeting so they can be discussed, agreed upon, and incorporated into an updated Vision Statement. The document will be edited in real-time by staff. c.

Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review – Amendment Proposals for 2024 a. Synopsis The Jefferson County Code sets out procedures for amending the Comprehensive Plan (CP) and Unified Development Code (UDC) (Ch. 18.45 JCC). The Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) has directed Community Development to run the 2024 annual amendment process this year, ending in December 2024, and defer an annual 2025 amendment cycle while the County completes the State-mandated periodic review requirements by the mid-year 2025 deadline (Resolution #11-24). In this meeting, Community Development will workshop with the Planning Commission to identify proposals for the 2024 annual amendment cycle that will be on the preliminary amendment docket. This discussion is in preparation for the March 1 deadline for amendment proposals in the 2024 cycle (refer to the 2024 amendment calendar provided in previous meetings). All 2024 proposals will be evaluated by Community Development, given a public hearing and recommendations by the Planning Commission, and the final docket established by the Board of Commissioners. Community Development and the Planning Commission will then proceed to evaluate the Final Docket proposals. Some amendment proposals may be scheduled outside of the annual amendment process timeframe. These amendment proposals, responding to State-mandated periodic review requirements, may require additional time to be developed and completed, and therefore may be considered for adoption mid-year 2025. The Growth Management Act (GMA, Chapter 36.70A RCW) generally allows amendments to comprehensive plans no more often than once per year, except in emergency situations, as codified in JCC 18.45.010. b. Assignment Community Development’s presentation and the following discussion will include a broad look at county needs and priorities as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. Prepare to share your focus areas in the 2024 work, and identify subject matter that you may want to assist with data development. Refer to the Commerce Checklist provided in a previous meeting. Priorities already evident include housing issues, implementing regulations for the Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area (UGA) with urban-style development, tribal involvement, and climate change. Community Development proposes to organize and develop the annual amendment work under the following project categories or case numbers: i. 2024 site-specific amendment proposals (individual cases).
