Mark McCauley, County Administrator
FROM: Josh D. Peters, DCD Director
DATE: May 6, 2024
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement for Consultant Services to Complete
2025 Periodic Update Mandated by Growth Management Act
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The Department of Community Development (DCD) manages the county's efforts to comply with the requirements
of the state Growth Management Act(GMA, Chapter 36.70A RCW)to review and update the Comprehensive Plan
and implementing regulations every 10 years.Jefferson County's deadline for periodic GMA review falls in 2025,
following the schedule at RCW 36.70A.130(5)(b).
Contracted professional services will add needed capacity to DCD staff for planning analysis, proposal development,
and public process associated with the Periodic Update.The proposed professional services agreement is attached,
including Exhibit A. Scope of Services and Exhibit B. Budget.
BACKGROUND:
The GMA requires jurisdictions to periodically review and update their comprehensive plans(RCW 36.70A.130.The last
periodic update of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan was completed in 2018.Jefferson County's next
periodic review is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025,though grant funding from the Washington Department of
Commerce must be expended by June 30,2025.
Commerce allocated Jefferson County a Periodic Update Grant(PUG)of$350,000. Funds must be spent in an even split
between the two fiscal years of the 2023-2025 biennium:$175,000 by June 30,2024 for Fiscal Year(FY) 2024 and$175,000 by
June 30,2025 for FY 2025. Commerce has also allocated Jefferson County a Climate Planning Grant ($300,000) and
a Middle Housing Grant ($50,000).
Following a Request for Proposals(RFP), DCD reviewed responses, interviewed consultants, and selected BERK
Consulting, Inc. as a principal contractor for this project. BERK has worked on Jefferson County planning projects
before, including the last Periodic Update and the current Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Periodic Review. BERK's
team includes subconsultants for different areas of expertise: Shannon &Wilson for environmental science,Transpo
Group for transportation planning, and Cascadia Consultant Group for climate planning(i.e., fulfilling the
requirements of House Bill 1181).The attached Scope of Services describes works to be done by task, and the
attached Budget lists hours anticipated to complete sub-tasks under each described task.

ANALYSIS:
State law requires Jefferson County complete a Periodic Update of its comprehensive plan and development
regulations by the end of 2025. Commerce grants funds needs to be fully expended by June 30, 2025 (while half of
the Periodic Update Grant and half of the Middle Housing Grant need to be expended by June 30, 2024).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The three Commerce grants referenced above will be used to pay for these consultant services.The work
described in Exhibit B to the attachment as "Task IV Optional Transportation Analysis Budget" would be added
following consultation with Department of Public Works and identification of a funding source.
RECOMMENDATION:
DCD recommends the Board execute the attached Professional Services Agreement for consultant assistance to
complete the GMA-mandated 2025 Periodic Update.

JEFFERSON COUNTY•PERIODIC UPDATE
A. Scope of Work
The scope of work below includes our approach to items I-V in the RFP. We propose a streamlined and integrated
approach to completing each task, as opposed to a separate scope of work for each item.The BERK team expects
our update efforts (Task I) to focus on Land Use, Housing (Task III), Capital Facilities and Utilities,Transportation,
Critical Areas, Natural Environments,and environmental review in the form of a SEPA addendum or checklist. We
also anticipate supporting a new Climate Element (Task II) as well as a review and reconciliation of UGAs (Task IV)
and strategic updates to the development regulations (Task V).Time and budget may be transferred from one task
to another due to a greater or lesser level of effort, provided that each task is completed, and total budget is not
exceeded.
I. 2025 Comprehensive Plan Update
The BERK team will complete a strategic update of the current Comprehensive Plan consistent with current legislative
and local policy direction.Our approach includes the following key components.
Launch & Ongoing Project Management
BERK will host a virtual kickoff meeting with County staff and key members of the consultant team to confirm
project scope, schedule, roles,and communication protocols. Prior to this session, BERK will send the County a draft
project schedule and list of requests for all relevant background information necessary for the project (including
adopted plans,GIS data and maps,and other relevant documents). During the kickoff,we will clarify key project
objectives and questions, introduce core team members, refine the schedule, and confirm communication protocols.
We will also discuss outreach goals and key stakeholders to help develop an initial framework for community
engagement.
Following the kickoff meeting, BERK will refine and maintain a master project schedule with major milestones clearly
defined throughout the process.We will assist County staff in developing a more detailed engagement plan to
ensure diverse and meaningful input is incorporated early and often into the Plan. The County will lead the public
participation process throughout with targeted support from the BERK team (see below).
BERK will also organize an ongoing coordination meeting on a bi-weekly or monthly schedule between relevant
members of the consultant team and County staff (assumes up to 30 meetings across approximately 14 months).
We anticipate these meetings will start out as bi-weekly and be adjusted as needed.
Focused Plan Audit
The BERK team will review the Commerce Periodic Update checklist prepared by the County. Based on this
checklist,we will identify areas of focus to meet recently amended GMA provisions and other major local
initiatives. We will also complete a targeted review of the individual elements to identify key inventory information
that is out of date or incorrect,opportunities to clarify meaning or convey information more efficiently, and gaps or
inconsistencies in goals and policies. This review will be focused on updates needed for consistency with recent
legislative changes and new growth targets. We will document the results of the checklist review, intended focus
:i,l SCOPE&BUDGET•April 29,2024 1
JEFFERSON COUNTY•PERIODIC UPDATE
areas,and limited plan audit in a memo. We will send a draft memo and revise based on staff feedback. See
Task II for the Climate Element audit.
Prepare Draft Updates to Existing Elements
Land Use Element: BERK will update the Land Use Element to address growth targets for the new horizon year. In
coordination with County staff,we will review results of the land capacity analysis (see Task III) and UGA review
and population allocations (see Task IV) to propose strategic revisions to the land use/zoning map or land use
designations as needed.
BERK will also draft clear,concise revisions to the goals and policies to reflect the community's desired future,
ensure consistency with other major element updates, (e.g.,housing),and incorporate new state requirements
related to climate,equity,and environmental justice.
Housing Element: See Task III.
Capital Facilities & Utilities Element: The County's current Capital Facilities & Utilities Element addresses three
essential components of the Comprehensive Plan: capital facilities,essential public facilities, and utilities. We
assume our update effort will focus on capital facilities and utilities but will revise the essential public facilities
section as needed for consistency with new state laws (e.g.,the definition of essential public facilities). Capital
facilities and utilities are discussed below:
■ Capital Facilities: Capital facilities planning provides the opportunity for the community to invest in projects
that implement their vision and allows the County to build its future. In cooperation with County staff, BERK will
coordinate with County departments and external providers to update the capital facility technical appendix
consistent with GMA requirements,including a revised fiscal analysis, updated inventory information, and
review of existing and future levels of service (LOS) based on the new horizon year. BERK will work with
County staff to consider revisions to LOS standards if needed and identify planned projects to serve
anticipated growth. We anticipate County staff will lead revisions to the inventory,fiscal analysis, and
planned projects. BERK will lead revisions to the LOS based on the new horizon year and will peer review the
County's work on the fiscal analysis and planned projects.
■ Utilities (Electric &Telecommunications): BERK will coordinate with utility providers in Jefferson County to
update service descriptions and the general location, proposed location, and capacity of all existing and
proposed utilities consistent with GMA requirements.This is anticipated to include primarily electricity and
telecommunication providers.
Transportation Element: The transportation element update will include a "redline" of the existing transportation
element document to ensure consistency with updated GMA requirements. It is assumed that Transpo will rely on
available data sources,and that no new travel data will be collected. The technical appendices (Appendix D)
within the existing transportation element document will not be updated as part of this effort. The 2025
transportation element update will focus on the following items:
▪ Multimodal Level of Service (MMLOS): The update will include developing MMLOS standards in accordance
with updated GMA requirements reflecting the County's transportation system vision. Development of the
MMLOS will incorporate an active transportation LOS based on a system completeness methodology utilizing
the PRTPO Non-motorized Connectivity Study and existing plans that outline the pedestrian and bicycle vision
for the County. We anticipate (3) three meetings with staff/stakeholder groups to develop the MMLOS,
��'I SCOPE&BUDGET•April 29,2024 2
JEFFERSON COUNTY• PERIODIC UPDATE
including a kickoff meeting to discuss MMLOS options and two meetings to refine options and finalize the
MMLOS.
■ Goals & Policies Audit: Transpo will review the existing transportation element goals and policies as part of
the overall plan audit to identify areas that may need revisions or strengthening based on updated funding,
level of service standards and the current best practices in multimodal transportation planning to meet GMA
requirements for certification.
■ Transportation Needs: The projects and programs in the existing Transportation Element will be re-assessed
based on the growth forecasts,multimodal needs, and existing transportation capital project lists from the
County. Active transportation facility needs and transit service strategies also will be reviewed and updated.
Additional projects will be incorporated into the transportation element,as appropriate,to provide a safe,
efficient, and sustainable transportation system.
Environment Element: The BERK team will review and update this element to complement and reflect any changes
made to the critical areas regulations under Task V,and recent rule updates to WAC 365-190,and to
acknowledge the new Climate Resiliency Element (Task II).
Natural Resources Element: The BERK team will review recent State rule updates in 2023 related to minimum
guidelines classifying agriculture,forest, mineral lands and reflect any changed local circumstances.
Equity Considerations: HB 1 181 requires that the County's Comprehensive Plan incorporate equity into the plan's
background reports and elements, particularly the Land Use,Transportation,and Climate Resiliency elements. To
assist County staff in complying with these requirements,the BERK team will coordinate with the County and will
recommend opportunities to give special consideration to environmental justice, address environmental health
disparities,and maximize co-benefits.The BERK team will collaborate with County staff to brainstorm goals,
policies, and strategies across all plan elements that consider equity and economic,environmental, and social co-
benefits throughout the Comprehensive Plan Update, likely building on findings from community engagement.
Engagement Support & Legislative Review
Community engagement efforts for the comprehensive plan will coordinate with strategies for the Climate and
Housing elements (Tasks II and III). BERK will assist County staff in developing a more detailed engagement plan to
ensure diverse and meaningful input is incorporated early and often into the Plan. The County will lead the public
participation process throughout with targeted support from the BERK team,including:
• Engagement materials. In coordination with County staff, BERK will help develop engagement materials for
the County to use during public events and outreach. Materials may include high quality presentations and
supporting handouts on general Comprehensive Plan update information or element specific questions and
content depending on the intended use and distribution.We anticipate engagement materials would be
available both online or printed for in-person pop-up events, community group presentations,or one-on-one
meetings with communities historically not at the table for policy decisions.
■ Open house and public hearing support.The BERK team will provide materials and staff support for open
houses and/or public hearings for the Comprehensive plan update. We anticipate supporting up to two (2)
hearings, meetings, or workshops to gather public feedback on the draft elements and events with
Planning Commission or the Board of County Commissioners.These would be a mix of in-person and
:11I SCOPE&BUDGET•April 29,2024 3
JEFFERSON COUNTY•PERIODIC UPDATE
online support, based on the Public Participation Plan. The BERK team will address comments and updates to
the elements once comments are collected.
Environmental Assessment
BERK will lead the effort in preparing necessary programmatic SEPA analysis and documentation for adoption of
the updated plan. Given the nature of the county and plan update,this scope anticipates preparation of a SEPA
Checklist and a Determination of Non- Significance or a Notice of Adoption and Addendum.
II. Climate Resiliency Element
Cascadia Consulting Group will lead the Element with support from BERK appropriate to topics. The Climate
Resiliency Element will be founded on the following:
■ Completed and in progress climate related works noted under the deliverables below.
• The Jefferson County and City of Port Townsend Climate Action Committee (CAC) will serve as an oversight
committee in development of Resilience sub-element.
■ The Climate Resiliency Element will be a new element of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Commerce grant deliverables, approach to tasks,and assumptions include:
■ Deliverable 1: Memo sharing the Community Engagement Plan and summarizing Climate Impacts
Assumptions:
a Community engagement will be through or sponsored by the CAC. The CAC will serve as this task's
focus group. Up to (4) four, 2-hour facilitated virtual meetings with the CAC at key decision points
in the planning process. Includes agenda, pre-meeting materials, Power Point Slides,facilitation, and
meeting summary.Also assumes coordination with CAC members between meetings to update on
plan progress to support their engagement efforts. Meetings will be held online.
• The engagement efforts will consider past climate and natural hazards planning efforts,
new/existing key issues, and County vulnerabilities.
• The Consultant will ensure that the engagement plan has a strategy to include traditionally
underserved and vulnerable populations disproportionately left out of planning processes and
impacted by climate impacts.The engagement plan will be implemented by the County in
coordination with the CAC.
• Deliverable 2: Final Draft Gap Analysis Memo
Audit Plans and Policies for gap analysis between HB 1 181 and the following existing documents:
• 2011 Port Townsend/Jefferson County Climate Action Plan
a 2015 North Olympic Development Council (NODC) Climate Preparedness Plan for the North
Olympic Peninsula,
8 2017 Port Townsend/Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan (update in process),
. 2022 NODC Climate Action Toolkit,
▪ 2023 Jefferson County Sea Level Rise Study,and
4 2023 Community Wildfire Protection Plan (preparation in process)
�i'I SCOPE&BUDGET•April 29,2024 4
JEFFERSON COUNTY•PERIODIC UPDATE
Present gap analysis to CAC for input.
Assumptions:
• The Consultant will organize the review into a comprehensive database that identifies all planning
documents/resources and compiles key climate-related goals and policies of potential relevance to
the County. The database will also collate key climate resilience considerations that existing
measures address,such as climate indicators,potential hazards, anticipated impacts,and related
community assets. The database will be used to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis that
identifies policy trends and gaps in the existing policy, including a description of action associated
with the policies to assist with implementation. Once gaps are determined, policy opportunities will
be identified via state resources, including Commerce's Menu of Measures, and summarized in a
Policy Audit Memorandum.
• This policy audit process will also include consultant support of two to three key staff in completing a
Climate Planning Strengths,Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis. This simple
tool will allow the project team to understand where Jefferson County is in their climate planning
process and identify potential risks that can be mitigated early in the process and/or strengths that
can be leveraged.
' Deliverable 3: Final Draft Vulnerability and Risk Assessment
Update Vulnerability and Risk Assessment
• Based on gap analysis and existing documents, determine additional vulnerability and risk
assessment.
• Present Vulnerability and Risk Assessment to CAC for input
• Final Draft Vulnerability and Risk Assessment
Assumptions:
g The Vulnerability and Risk Assessment will largely rely on existing and in progress documents and
be targeted to key vulnerabilities and risks,such as through climate engagement above.
' The Assessment will use local and regional resources (many noted in gap analysis above) and tools
such as the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group's Climate Mapping for a Resilient
Washington web tool, recent sea level rise modeling efforts such as the Puget Sound Parcel Scale
Sea Level Rise Vulnerability project (2022), and others.
• Updates on the review of historical and projected climate impacts with more historical data through
2023 and CMIP6 models may include:
Integrating social vulnerability to climate change.
Directing Jefferson County GIS staff who will prepare climate vulnerability maps for the entire
County and appropriate subareas. The Consultant will provide limited/targeted spatial
analysis.
Providing updates on the science of compound extreme events and hazards.
• The Vulnerability and Risk Assessment will be a qualitative analysis of climate vulnerabilities and
hazards - final report will be approximately 20 pages.
• Deliverable 4: Final Draft Climate Element
Prepare Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies for Resilience
:i"SCOPE&BUDGET•April 29,2024 5
JEFFERSON COUNTY• PERIODIC UPDATE
• Draft Element goals and policies.
• Draft Goals and Policies to CAC for input.
-- Assumptions:
• Goals and policy proposals will be rooted in the best available science and analysis to determine
how the County can best reduce emissions and enhance the resiliency of natural and human systems.
g The Consultant will build on existing efforts, recognizing the steps Jefferson County has taken to
date to reduce GHG emissions and increase climate resiliency. Consistent with the equity-centered
approach to overall Comprehensive Plan engagement,Cascadia will conduct an equity and co-
benef its assessment to determine how climate policies are developed and prioritized.
• Findings will be summarized, provided to the County and stakeholders for feedback, and integrated
into the final Climate Element goals and policies.The Equity Assessment of draft Climate Resilience
Sub-Element goals and policies will also identify intentional and unintentional consequences of policy
implementation.
A The Consultant will take advantage of existing resources and knowledge of best practices to ensure
the Climate Element goals and policies are aligned with local and regional efforts—and are set up
for long-term coordinated success.
8 Final resilience policies will draw from existing policies based on the policy audit and use Commerce's
menu of measures or other high-performing strategies to fill in the identified gaps.
Ill. Housing Element
BERK will update the Housing Element consistent with recent changes to state law that require planning for and
accommodating housing affordable to all income levels (HB 1220),reducing barriers for accessory dwelling units
(HB 1337), and revising middle housing opportunities in the Irondale/Port Hadlock UGA as well as local priorities.
Consistent with RCW 36.70A.070 and Commerce guidance,key components of this update will include:
■ An inventory of housing needs, including permanent supportive and emergency housing.
■ Evaluation of land capacity to meet needs at all affordability levels.
■ Providing for moderate density housing options within UGAs.
■ Review of the County's housing and jobs balance.
■ Displacement risk and anti-displacement measures.
■ Racially disparate impacts and measures to undo impacts.
■ Adequate provisions for identified needs and removal of identified barriers.
Our approach to updating the Housing Element is described below.
Housing Element Kickoff & Code Audit Memo
BERK will conduct a virtual team meeting with County staff focused on the Housing Element to refine objectives
for the element update and identify potential gaps and housing barriers. An audit of the existing element will be
completed as part of Task I. BERK will also conduct an audit of the County's existing development regulations for
middle housing related gaps and amendments. Results of this review will be summarized in a code audit memo,
�i'I SCOPE&BUDGET•April 29, 2024 6
JEFFERSON COUNTY•PERIODIC UPDATE
which can be a separate deliverable or incorporated into the overall plan update focus areas and audit memo
from Task I.
Housing Focused Engagement
County staff will develop a middle housing public engagement plan. BERK will incorporate results from the County's
housing focused engagement into the Housing Element update and supporting technical appendix. We anticipate
housing specific engagement will help identify existing housing challenges and needs as well as barriers to
developing more affordable housing.
Land Capacity Analysis
BERK will complete an updated land capacity analysis to determine available capacity for new housing and job
growth. The analysis will build on the County's existing land capacity methodology and will consider housing
capacity at all income levels. It will account for regulations in Chapter 18.18 JCC in anticipation of the availability
of wastewater treatment facilities in mid-2025 in the core sewer area within the Irondale/Port Hadlock UGA. The
initial land capacity analysis results will inform the gap, barrier, and adequate provision analysis in the Housing
Technical Appendix, as well as the Land Use Element Update in Task I and UGA review in Task IV. BERK will
summarize the land capacity methodology and initial and revised results in a memo that could be attached in an
appendix to the Comprehensive Plan (either as an appendix or combined with the Housing Technical Appendix
below).
Housing Technical Appendix
BERK will compile a Housing Element technical appendix consisting of the following sections:
■ A detailed inventory including a community profile (existing population, household,and workforce
characteristics) and an inventory of current housing units, residential construction production trends, and
affordability. The inventory will draw on previous studies as appropriate and will include a review of
government-assisted housing; manufactured housing; multifamily housing (including middle housing like
duplexes,triplexes, and townhomes);group homes;foster care facilities;and permanent supportive and
emergency housing.
• A displacement risk analysis and review of racially disparate impacts consistent with HB 1220 requirements
and Commerce guidance.
• A gap analysis that considers current and future housing needs and compares adopted targets to existing
capacity. This section would cross reference the land capacity memo and consider gaps between the capacity
results and regional housing allocation. If there are gaps between the allocation and capacity,the BERK team
will work with the County staff to identify appropriate actions (e.g., rezones) needed to address those gaps
(see adequate provisions and development regulations below).
• A review of existing barriers to housing at all affordability levels based on prior production trends and the
Commerce barrier checklists. BERK would work with County staff to fill out the Commerce barrier checklists and
would supplement information in the checklists with feedback heard during the interviews and focus groups
with local stakeholders/developers and other early engagement efforts in Task I.
:111 SCOPE&BUDGET•April 29,2024 7
JEFFERSON COUNTY•PERIODIC UPDATE
■ Identification of adequate provisions and appropriate programs and actions needed to meet housing needs
and overcome identified barriers, considering employment locations,ways to provide for middle housing in
the Irondale/Port Hadlock UGA,and the role of accessory dwelling units consistent. BERK will work with
County staff to ensure programs and actions are aligned with legislative priorities.
Update Goals & Policies
BERK will update goals and policies in the Housing Element based on the County's vision for accommodating all
housing needs and results of the land capacity analysis,housing-focused engagement, and housing technical
appendix. We anticipate updates will include measures to accommodate housing affordable to all economic
segments of the population, reduce displacement risk,undo identified racially disparate impacts,and encourage
middle housing in the Irondale/Port Hadlock UGA. We anticipate public review of the draft Housing Element
will coincide with review of the other elements in Task I. BERK will address comments and update the element
once comments are collected.
Middle Housing Ordinance(s) & Development Regulation Revisions
BERK will peer review middle housing ordinance(s) prepared by the County for the Irondale/Port Hadlock UGA
consistent with the land capacity analysis and UGA review(Task IV). BERK will identify development regulation
updates in Jefferson County Code Titles 17 and 18 required with plan adoption to remove middle housing
barriers,creates incentives for middle housing, and achieve housing availability and affordability in Jefferson
County (see also Task V).The County will distribute draft codes for public comments as part of the larger
outreach and Planning Commission/Board of County Commissioners process (Task I). BERK will address
comments received in the final development regulations.These revisions would be separate from but consistent with
revisions under Task V.Additional actions/updates the County may take after plan adoption would be included in
the adequate provisions sections of the Housing Technical Appendix.
IV. Urban Growth Area
BERK will coordinate with the County to evaluate and update the UGA in anticipation of the availability of
wastewater treatment facilities in mid-2025 in the core sewer area within the Irondale/Port Hadlock UGA. BERK
will include the land use/zoning districts and development regulations in Chapter 18.18 JCC as part of the initial
land capacity analysis in Task III. Results of the initial land capacity analysis will inform recommended policy
revisions to increase capacity in the UGAs and to reconcile any inconsistencies within UGA boundaries (e.g.,
rezones, middle housing allowances in the UGA, and ways to increase consistency between actual development
and plan assumptions; see the Housing Technical Appendix under Task III). The revised Comprehensive Plan
Elements will also incorporate policies to support future urban growth within the Irondale/Port Hadlock UGA over
the next 20 years.
Optional Task:Transportation UGA Analysis
As an optional task,Transpo would update the UGA analysis in Appendix C of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan.This
would include traffic data collection at up to 12 intersections and update existing and forecast 20-year
intersection LOS within the UGA. Based on the updated traffic forecasts,an updated project list would be
developed to address any expected transportation deficiencies.These projects would include planning level cost
:i11 SCOPE&BUDGET•April 29,2024 8
JEFFERSON COUNTY•PERIODIC UPDATE
estimates and expected impact on deficiencies based on the updated multimodal level of service standard
developed as part of the comprehensive plan update. This optional task would not be undertaken without written
approval by the County.The estimated cost for this optional task is $29,900 and is attached as a separate
budget.
V. Development Regulations
BERK will review and update development regulations in the Jefferson County code for consistency with the current
legislative and local policy as required by the GMA periodic update checklist for fully planning counties. We will
use the Commerce Periodic Update checklist prepared by the County to identify areas for update. We anticipate
this could include various sections from Titles 16 (Environmental Regulations), 17 (Master Planned Resorts), and 18
(Unified Development Code). We will identify relevant sections from the code to update for consistency such as
Rural and Resource Lands,Critical Areas,Zoning, Essential Public Facilities,Subdivision, Stormwater Management,
Organic Materials,and Concurrency and Transportation Demand Management (TDM). Procedural updates
consistent with Senate Bill 5290 will be completed by the County. BERK will work with the County in distributing
draft codes for public comments through the outreach process. Once comments are received,we will address
them in the final development regulations.
The BERK team will complete Commerce's Critical Areas Checklist and also utilize the Department of Fish and
Wildlife's and Sound Choices' checklists to assist with identification of topics that may need to be addressed. The
update of the Critical Areas Regulations requires a review of the most recent best available science (BAS).
Washington Department of Ecology has produced several documents in recent years regarding wetland
management that constitute BAS and are anticipated to be readily incorporated into the County's regulations.
This scope assumes that the primary new source of BAS that may require more County consideration,as well as
public and agency input, relates to WDFW's most recent riparian management recommendations based on site
potential tree height (SPTH). We will reach out to WDFW for focused discussion of this topic and provide analysis
of the implications of SPTH-related changes to help the County select a path forward. We will also work with staff
to identify and incorporate changes to the regulations generated from staff "lessons learned" during
implementation of the current code and explore any additional opportunities for process streamlining through a
staff, Planning Commission,or Board of County Commissioner workshop.
Critical Areas Ordinance Assumptions for Shannon & Wilson (S&W): The scope assumes the County will assist with
the Best Available Science update and S&W will peer review. S&W will prepare a memo focused on WDFW
review of Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas. S&W will attend up to two virtual staff workshops and up
to three virtual decision maker meetings.
