OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council adopt a resolution ratifying the 2023 amendments to the King County Countywide Planning Policies.
The King County Countywide Planning Policies were comprehensively updated in 2021 and ratified by King County and cities within King County in 2022. Concurrently, the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) directed the King County Affordable Housing Committee to conduct additional research and analysis, resulting in the 2023 amendments to the CPPs that the King County Council adopted on August, 15, 2023.
The 2023 amendments to the CPPs establish subregional and jurisdictional affordable housing needs and an accountability and implementation framework for equitably meeting countywide affordable housing needs.
