"Final draft plans expected in August "
Comprehensive Plan - Kitsap County, Washington
Port Orchard, Wash. – The Kitsap County Board of Commissioners has selected a preferred alternative for the Comprehensive Plan Update. This decision is a crucial step in guiding the county’s strategic growth and development, aligned with the community's needs and state mandates.
The Comprehensive Plan, required by Washington State's Growth Management Act, forms the foundation for the County’s development strategies. It addresses essential areas such as land use, housing, transportation, and environmental conservation. Once finalized, it will govern how Kitsap communities grow over the next 20 years.
“Selecting Preferred Alternative 2 [ [link removed](003).pdf ] underscores our proactive and thoughtful approach to community development," said Katie Walters, Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. "We are grateful for the community’s engagement and input, which has significantly shaped this outcome."
Now that the alternate has been selected, staff will refine the plan in preparation for final review and adoption later this year. Revised drafts of the Environmental Impact Statement, Comprehensive Plan elements, Capital Facilities Plan, and Development Regulations are anticipated in August. Board adoption is expected in December.
Residents are encouraged to stay engaged and provide feedback as the County moves towards finalizing the documents. Ongoing input will play a vital role in refining the plans and ensuring they meet both current and future needs.
