The CPPs were originally adopted in 1992 to guide the initial adoption of <br /> comprehensive plans under GMA. They have been amended over time by the County Council to address <br /> issues pertaining to growth planning.. In 2008,the Puget Sound Regional Council adopted Vision 2040 as <br /> the regional growth strategy for our 4-county region. Members of local governments agreed to update CPPs <br /> by the end of 2010 to make them consistent with the regional growth strategy of Vision 2040. The update of <br /> the Snohomish County CPPs has been under way for the past 18 months through Snohomish County <br /> Tomorrow. Staff will present a brief overview of the proposed revisions to the CPPs. <br /> Drafts of the proposed CPPs are available at the following web-links: <br /> http://www.co.snohomish.wa.us/documents/County_Services/SCT/PAC/Other/CPPDraft4-6-1 Owithchanges.pdf <br /> http://www.co.snohomish.wa.us/documents/County_Services/SCT/PAC/Other/CPPDraft4-6-10cleanversion.pdf <br /> RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): <br /> No staff recommendation.
