Snohomish County is updating its Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan consistent with the Growth Management Act (GMA; chapter 36.70A RCW [ [link removed] ]). The plan is designed to help the County meet its long-term vision for land use and growth management in unincorporated areas of the county. In accordance with the GMA, the 2024 Update addresses a 2044 horizon year, and considers new population, housing, and job targets, changes to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), a fair share of affordable housing, housing policy amendments to address racially disparate impacts, and investments in parks and multimodal transportation, utilities, and public services. The comprehensive plan is also required to be consistent with state and regional goals and requirements.?

The FEIS studies land use and growth alternatives that include a no action, two action alternatives, and the Executive's Recommended Plan for the unincorporated county:


* Alternative 1, No Action: Adopted Plans ? Lower Growth
* Alternative 2, Medium Growth ? Focus on High-Capacity Transit Communities
* Alternative 3, Higher Growth
* Executive Recommended Plan

Pursuant to state law, the County Council can adopt the 2024 Comprehensive Plan seven (7) days after the issuance of the FEIS.
