5D – RESOLUTION NO. 3343 RATIFYING THE 2021 AMENDMENTS TO THE KITSAP
COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICIES: Community Development Director Andrea Spencer
explained that the Kitsap Countywide Planning Policies (CPP’s) are a regional framework prepared
by local governments to coordinate jurisdictional growth planning as directed by the State Growth
Management Act (GMA). The CPP’s were originally adopted and ratified by all Kitsap County local
governments in 1992, and they have been amended several times since then. Between
September 2020 and May 2021 the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council (KRCC) and each of the
Planning Directors in Kitsap began work to update and amend the CPP’s to make them consistent
with the Puget Sound Reginal Council’s Vision 2050 Multi-County Planning Policies. Following a
public hearing on July 6, 2021 the KRCC Board recommended policy revisions, and forwarded the
revised CPP’s to Kitsap County for adoption. The Kitsap Board of County Commissioners passed
Ordinance No. 601-2021 (dated October 11, 2021) adopting the revised CPP’s as recommended
by the KRCC Board. This Ordinance will not take effect until at least three cities ratify the
amendments.
City Council ratification of the amendments is requested to be compliant with the procedures
outlined in the CPP’s, (please see Appendix A of the CPP’s which outlines that ratification must
occur within 90 days of the ordinance passage by Kitsap County). Note that consideration of this
Resolution is a “housekeeping” measure and the Council cannot make changes to the County-
adopted CPP’s. If changes are desired then ratification needs to be rejected and a request made
to the KRCC Board for consideration of any potential modification(s) to the CPP’s.
There were no questions or comments from the public…
6:37 Motion was made by Daugs, and seconded by Dennehy… Questions and comments were
provided by Daugs, Dennehy, Younger, and Simpson; with responses provided by Ms.
Spencer and Mayor Wheeler…
