Presenter(s):
Allison Osterberg, Senior Planner, Thurston Regional Planning Council
Michael Ambrogi, Senior GIS Analyst, Thurston Regional Planning Council
Background and Analysis:
Since 1997, the State’s Growth Management Act requires that the seven fastest-growing Western Washington counties periodically review and evaluate development trends to ensure consistency with GMA, countywide planning policies, and comprehensive plans. The resulting information is published in the Buildable Lands Report, which is periodically updated. Thurston Regional Planning Council has issued four reports for Thurston County: in 2002, 2007, 2014, and will issue an updated report later this year.
In addition to their briefing on the Building Lands Report, TRPC staff will provide an overview of their role in regional planning and how they support local communities in Thurston County.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
None known at this time. The outcomes of the 2021 Buildable Lands Report will be considered during the next Comprehensive Plan update, which will be of interest to neighborhoods and the community at large.
