About the Countywide Planning PoliciesThe Countywide
Planning Policies or CPPs (PDF*,
213KB) are a series of policies that address growth management issues
in King County. The Growth
Management Planning Council (GMPC) brings together elected officials from
King County and the cities and jurisdictions within it to develop the CPPs. Adopted and ratified by the cities in 1994, the CPPs provide a countywide vision
and serve as a framework for each jurisdiction to develop its own comprehensive
plan, which must be consistent with the overall vision for the future of King County.
Updating the Countywide Planning PoliciesGMPC has begun a year-long process to update the CPPs which is planned to culminate
in their adoption by year-end 2010. The intent of the update is threefold: to ensure
consistency with current state law, state agency guidance and recent hearings board
decisions; to align the CPPs with the newly adopted regional growth strategy found
in VISION 2040; and to modernize the CPP narrative to reflect the county’s ongoing
and evolving implementation of the Growth Management Act and countywide policies. As GMPC moves forward, updates about this process will be provided here. For more information about the Countywide Planning Policies, please contact Paul
