A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, ratifying the adoption of
the 2021 King County Countywide Planning Policies
(King County Ordinance 19660), relating to
jurisdictional housing needs and establishing an
accountability framework to meet countywide
affordable housing needs.
RECITALS
A. The adoption of countywide planning policies is required under
the State Growth Management Act (GMA), pursuant to RCW 36.70A.210.
The King County Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) provide a framework
for Kent and other cities in King County to conduct planning under the
requirements of the GMA. This framework ensures that city and county
comprehensive plans are consistent.
B. In 2021, the CPPs were comprehensively reviewed and
updated.
C. During the process to adopt the 2021 CPPs, the King County
Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) identified several issues that
needed further time and discussion due to their complexities, overlapping
nature, new state legislation, and GMPC members' desire for further review
on some amendments.
D. These topics included establishing countywide and jurisdiction
housing need allocations; establishing an accountability framework for

meeting affordable housing needs; aligning monitoring requirements with
the new accountability framework; and aligning the CPPs with HB 1220. King
County Council directed the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC)
and Affordable Housing Committee (AHC) to develop a workplan and suggest
additional amendments to the CPPs.
E. On March 22, 2023, the Metropolitan King County Council
adopted and ratified Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) Motion
No. 23-1, to adopt updated 2021 CPPs.
F. On August 15, 2023, the King County Council approved and
ratified the amendments on behalf of unincorporated King County pursuant
to King County Ordinance No. 19660.
G. Now the amendments are presented to jurisdictions in King
County for ratification.
H. The Kent City Council's Committee of the Whole reviewed the
amendments at its meeting on September 19, 2023, and recommended
approval to the full City Council.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

ATTACHMENT A
Attachment A: Amendments to 2021 Countywide Planning Policies
All King County Countywide Planning Policy amendments are shown in ((stFike�ougT)) and
underlined text.
Amendments:
In the Countywide Planning Policies Introduction, on page 6, amend as follows:
The King County Countywide Planning Policies
The Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) create a shared and consistent framework for growth
management planning for all jurisdictions in King County in accordance with RCW 36.70A.210,
which requires the legislative authority of a county to adopt a countywide planning policy in
cooperation with cities located in the county. The comprehensive plan for King County and the
comprehensive plans for cities and towns in King County are developed from the framework
that the CPPs establish. The 2021 Countywide Planning Policies, as amended, were designed to
provide guidance in advance of the 2024 statutory update of comprehensive plans to
incorporate changes to the regional policy framework and to reflect new priorities addressing
equity and social justice within our communities.
In the Development Patterns Chapter, starting on page 21, amend as follows:
DP-12 GMPC shall allocate ((Yes,�ial)) housing and employment growth to each city and
urban unincorporated area in the county.This allocation is predicated on:
a) Accommodating the most recent 20-year population projection from the state Office of
Financial Management and the most recent 20-year regional employment forecast from
the Puget Sound Regional Council, informed by the 20-year projection of housing units
from the state Department of Commerce;
b) Planning for a pattern of growth that is consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy
including focused growth within cities and Potential Annexation Areas with designated
centers and within high-capacity transit station areas, limited development in the Rural
Area, and protection of designated Natural Resource Lands;
c) Efficiently using existing zoned and future planned development capacity as well as the
capacity of existing and planned infrastructure, including sewer, water, and stormwater
systems;
d) Promoting a land use pattern that can be served by a connected network of public
transportation services and facilities and pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and
amenities;
e) Improving jobs/housing balance consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy, both
between counties in the region and within subareas in the county;
f) Promoting opportunities for housing and employment throughout the Urban Growth
Area and within all jurisdictions in a manner that ensures racial and social equity;
Page 1
I
DocuSign Envelope ID:D57DDFD5-453A-4498-A723-3160CEA882FF
g) Allocating growth to Potential Annexation Areas within the urban unincorporated area
proportionate to their share of unincorporated capacity for housing and employment
growth, and
h) Allocating growth based on the amount of net new housing needed to plan for and
accommodate an equitable distribution of housing choices across all jurisdictions that is
affordable to all economic segments of the population of the county, as provided by the
Department of Commerce.
DP-13 The Growth Management Planning Council shall:
a) Update housing and employment growth targets and housing needs periodically to
provide jurisdictions with up-to-date growth allocations to be used as the land use
assumption in state-mandated comprehensive plan updates;
b) Adopt housing and employment growth targets and housing needs in the Countywide
Planning Policies pursuant to the procedure described in policy FW-1;
c) Create a coordinated countywide process to reconcile and set growth targets that
implements the Regional Growth Strategy through countywide shares of regional
housing and ((jabs)) job growth, countywide shares of statewide housing needs,
allocations to Regional Geographies, and individual jurisdictional growth targets;
d) Ensure that each jurisdiction's growth targets and housing need are commensurate with
their role in the Regional Growth Strategy by establishing a set of objective criteria and
principles to guide how jurisdictional targets and housing needs are determined;
e) Ensure that each jurisdiction's growth targets allow it to meet the need for housing
affordable (( susing feF)) to households with (( lew , veFy ' , and extFe,. ely low
lPlGe„es)) moderate- low- very low- and extremely low-incomes; and
f) Adjust targets and housing needs administratively upon annexation of unincorporated
Potential Annexation Areas by cities. Growth targets for the planning period are shown
in Table DP-1. Net new housing needs for the planning period are shown in Table H-1
and total protected housing needs are shown in Table H-2.
DP- 14 All jurisdictions shall accommodate housing and employment by:
a) Using the adopted growth targets as the land use assumption for their comprehensive
plan;
b) Establishing local growth targets for regional growth centers and regional
manufacturing/industrial centers, where applicable;
c) Ensuring adopted comprehensive plans and zoning regulations provide sufficient
capacity at appropriate densities for residential, commercial, and industrial uses that is
sufficient to meet 20-year growth targets, allocated housing needs, and is consistent
with the desired growth pattern described in VISION 2050;
d) Ensuring adopted local water, sewer, transportation, utility, and other infrastructure
plans and investments, including special purpose district plans, are consistent in location
and timing with adopted targets as well as regional and countywide plans; and
Page 2
DocuSign Envelope ID: D57DDFD5-453A-4498-A723-3160CEA882FF
e) Transferring ((aR)) and accommodating unincorporated area housing and employment
targets and housing need as annexations occur.
In the Development Patterns Chapter, on page 33, amend as follows:
DP-47 Limit growth in the Rural Area to prevent sprawl and the overburdening of rural services,
minimize the need for new rural infrastructure, maintain rural character, and protect open
spaces and the natural environment. To limit growth pressure in the Rural Area, locate services
in Cities in the Rural Area and cities that border the rural area.
In the Housing Chapter, starting on page 36, amend as follows:
Housing
The Countywide Planning Policies in the Housing Chapter support a range of affordable,
accessible, and healthy housing choices for current and future residents across King County.
Further, they respond to the legacy of discriminatory housing and land use policies and
practices (e.g., redlining, racially restrictive covenants, exclusionary zoning, etc.) that have led
to significant racial and economic disparities in access to housing and neighborhoods of choice.
These disparities affect equitable access to well-funded schools, healthy environments, open
space, and employment.
The policies reflect the region's commitment to addressing the 2018 findings of the Regional
Affordable Housing Task Force (Task Force). Key findings include:
• Dramatic housing price increases between 2012 and 2017 resulted in an estimated
156,000 extremely low-, very low-, and low-income households spending more than 30
percent of their income on housing (housing cost burdened); and
• Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, and extremely low-income households are among those
most disproportionately impacted by housing cost burden.

housing needs of the county and comply with the Growth Management Act requirements for
housing elements in ((dot, )) Revised Code of Washington 36.70A.020 and 36.70A.070((4)) and
the Countywide Planning Policies in this chapter.
While significant new housing growth is necessary to reach overall King County housing growth
targets new housing growth will not sufficiently address the housing needs for lower-income
households without additional government support for the creation of units restricted to
income-eligible households—both rent-restricted units and resale restricted homes ("income-
restricted units"); and the preservation of homes currently affordable at or below 80 percent of
area median income Local jurisdictions can create enabling environments and generate local
revenue to support new housing development and housing preservation, but successful
implementation requires resources and involvement from other levels of government,
nonprofits and the private sector.
Housing unit production is one but not the only means to measure whether a jurisdiction has
planned for and accommodated housing needs Success will primarily be defined by whether a
jurisdiction has adopted and implemented policies and plans that taken together and in light of
available resources can be reasonably expected to support and enable the production or
preservation of units needed at each affordability level. Policies in this chapter do not require
that jurisdictions act outside of current powers or assume full responsibility for the construction
of units required to meet housing needs articulated in policy H-1.
These Countywide Planning Policies also recognize that housing affordability varies significantly
across jurisdictions In addressing housing needs less affordable jurisdictions will need to focus
actions on increasing affordability for low-income households while more affordable
jurisdictions will need to focus actions on preserving affordable homes at risk of price increases.
All communities must address housing need where it is greatest—housing affordable to
extremely low-income households.
The policies below set a framework for individual and collective action and accountability to
meet ((t4e)) countywide needs and eliminate disparities in access to housing and
neighborhoods of choice. They first establish the amount of countywide housing needs a
jurisdiction must plan for and accommodate in a manner that seeks to increase housing choice
and begin to address disparities in housing choice throughout King County. ((These))The
policies then guide jurisdictions through a ((#ems))-five step process:
1. (( T)) conduct a housing inventory and analysis;
Page 4
DocuSign Envelope ID:D57DDFD5-453A-4498-A723-3160CEA882FF
2. ((lm ,i)) implement policies and strategies to meet housing needs equitably;
3. review comprehensive plans;
4. ((Measwice Fesults d iE^ r,+_h:> )) monitor and report; and
((4)) 5. ((Adjust)) adjust strategies to meet housing needs.
Overarching Goal: Provide a full range of affordable, accessible, healthy, and safe housing
choices to every resident in King County.All jurisdictions work to:
• preserve, improve, and expand their housing stock,
• promote fair and equitable access to housing for all people, and
• take actions that eliminate race-, place-, ability-, and income-based housing disparities.

1 Refer to Table H 2 in Appendix 4 for countywide and jurisdictional future housing needed in 2044 and baseline housing supply
in 2019.
2The countywide need projections are derived from the Washington State Department of Commerce and were adjusted to align
with the adopted housing growth targets for the planning period to ensure jurisdictions are planning for growth that is
consistent with the goals of the Development Patterns Chapter.
3"Emergency Housing"includes emergency housing and emergency shelter and is in addition to permanent housing needs.
4 Data on baseline housing supply is estimated using 2020 Office of Financial Management data on total housing units,and
2014 2018 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy and 2020 Public Use Microdata Sample data on the distribution of
units at different income levels These data sources are used to align with Department of Commerce countywide need baseline
data even though the King County growth target setting process began in 2019.
5 Beaux Arts Village and Hunts Point both have growth targets of one unit meaning their total need allocated is also one unit.
The allocation process divides that unit up into multiple area median income bands but to get need allocations that are whole
numbers we round all allocations in each area median income band and the emergency housing/shelter category.
6 This includes all Potential Annexation Areas within the High Capacity Transit Communities and Urban Unincorporated King
County regional geographies.
In the Housing Chapter, on page 38, amend as follows:

a) Increasing capital, operations, and maintenance funding;
b) Adopting complementary land use regulations;
c) Fostering welcoming communities, including people with behavioral health needs;
d) Adopting supportive policies; and

Calculating Total Countywide Permanent and Emergency Housing Needs
Consistent with the Revised Code of Washington 36.70A.100 and 36.70A.115, King County
identifies a 20-year population growth target that is within the range of protections prepared by
the Washington State Office of Financial Management. In the past the County has taken this
protection and used its own framework to calculate growth targets for housing units and lobs
over the planning period A decision-making process between King County and King County
cities then distributed housing units and lobs between different jurisdictions, to be used in
developing local comprehensive plans.
Updates to the Growth Management Act in 2021 changed this process, such that the
Washington State Department of Commerce ("Commerce") now supplies counties with the
number of permanent housing units and emergency housing beds necessary to manage the
projected growth and meet both current unmet and future housing needs over the planning
period Permanent housing projections are expressed as a total countywide housing need figure
that is then divided into units for moderate- low- very low- and extremely low-income
households Permanent supportive housing is included as a subset of the 0 to less than or equal
to 30 percent area median income projection Countywide needs for emergency housing beds,
which include both emergency shelters and emergency housing are supplied separately by the
state Refer to the Growth Management Act and Department of Commerce guidance for
permanent supportive housing and emergency housing definitions.
After receiving housing need numbers from the State counties are responsible for selecting a
growth projection within the Commerce-provided range to determine their net new
countywide housing needs Counties then select a method for allocating permanent net new
countywide housing needs between jurisdictions.
To arrive at countywide net new permanent housing needs for by income level and permanent
supportive housing King County selected the net new units needed from Commerce's medium
projections and scaled the net new units needed proportionately to equal King County's
housing growth target to build on and maintain consistency with the population projection and
assumptions about regional growth.
To arrive at a countywide net new emergency housing need King County selected the net new
emergency housing needs from the same medium population projection series provided by
Commerce and scaled it at the same proportional rate as permanent housing needs.
For more information about how Commerce calculated total countywide housing needs,
including baseline housing supply, net new units needed and future housing need expressed by
income level permanent supportive housing and emergency housing needs, please refer to
methodological documentation on the Department's website.

County Method for Allocating Permanent Housing and Emergency Housing Needs
This section describes how countywide housing need was allocated to jurisdictions.
Permanent net new countywide housing needs were allocated to jurisdictions using a multistep
method which allocated larger percentages of housing need to the 0 to less than or equal to 80
percent area median income levels based on local factors.
Each jurisdiction was initially allocated the same proportion of their housing growth to the 0 to
less than or equal to 80 percent area median income bands.Then, local factor weights were
applied which accounted for current affordability of the jurisdiction's housing stock, the
amount of the jurisdiction's housing stock at or below 80 percent area median income that is
income-restricted and the ratio of low-wage workers that work in the subregion compared to
low wage workers that live there These factors either increased or decreased the proportion of
a jurisdiction's housing need that was allocated at 0 to less than or equal to 80 percent area
median income with jurisdictions that scored poorly on these factors having more housing
need allocated at 0 to less than or equal to 80 percent area median income. Units were then
allocated within each area median income band based on current units already in each area
median income band as compared to countywide averages. Net new permanent supportive
housing need is part of the 0 to less than or equal to 30 percent area median income level and
was allocated consistent with the income level method described.
Net new countywide emergency housing need was allocated to jurisdictions based on their
percent share of planned countywide housing growth.
For additional information about the allocation methods refer to the King County Affordable
Housing Committee website Both final countywide housing need and allocated jurisdictional
housing needs can be found in Tables H-1 and H-2 Table H-1 focuses on net new permanent
and emergency housing units/beds needed Table H-2 provides a complete picture of housing
needs by jurisdictions with information on current baseline housing supply and future housing
need at the end of this planning period.

data even though the King County growth target setting process began in 2019.
10 Beaux Arts Village and Hunts Point both have growth targets of one unit meaning their total need allocated is also one unit.
The allocation process divides that unit up into multiple area median income bands but to get need allocations that are whole
numbers we round all allocations in each area median income band and the Emergency Housing/Shelter category.
11 This includes all Potential Annexation Areas within the High Capacity Transit Communities and Urban Unincorporated King
County regional geographies.

Appendices in the CPPs.

Policy H-3: Housing Supply and Needs Analysis
As set forth in policy H-((4))3, each jurisdiction must include in its comprehensive plan an
inventory of the existing housing stock and an analysis of both existing housing needs and
housing needed to accommodate projected population growth over the planning period. This
policy reinforces requirements of the Growth Management Act for local ((H9USiRg)) housing
((Flemen )) elements. The housing supply and needs analysis is referred to in this appendix as
the housing analysis.( As OS Reted iR POPEYH 11H 2, and u_n +h4))The housing analysis must
((GgRsideF lec-al as well as +,,, ide housiRg Ree )) include the jurisdiction's established
housing needs expressed in Table H-1 and Table H-2 because each jurisdiction has a
responsibility to ((mess)) plan for and accommodate its allocated share of the countywide
((affeFe)) housing needs.
The purpose of this section is to provide further guidance to local jurisdictions on the subjects
to be addressed in their housing analysis. Additional guidance on carrying out the housing
analysis is found in the Puget Sound Regional Council's report, "Housing Element Guide ((:-A
PSRG r •danco Paper (jury 2014_))) (February 2023)," Washington State Department of
Commerce's report, "Guidance for Developing a Housing Needs Assessment" (March 2020); and
the Washington Administrative Code, particularly 365-196-410 (2)(b) and (c).((T-he ` aSh;r,rt
State n.,paFt..-.. Rt Of)) Commerce also provides useful information about housing requirements
under the Growth Management Act in the "Growth Management Planning for Housing -
Washington State Department of Commerce" portion of their website.

Housing Needs
The housing needs part of the housing analysis should include demographic data related to
existing population, household and community trends that could impact future housing
demand (e.g.,aging of population). This data will be derived from a mixture of jurisdictional
records, ((may)) County datasets, ((tee)) State datasets, and ((federal)) Federal datasets.
The identified need for future housing should be consistent with the jurisdiction's Qpopulation))
housing growth and ((heusin„targ )) the jurisdiction's share of countywide housing needs,
found in Tables H-1 and H-2. Combined with the results of the needs analysis, these data can
provide direction on appropriate goals and policies for both the housing and land use elements
of a jurisdiction's comprehensive plan.
The following guidance is offered to ensure the housing inventory and analysis data is
consistently utilized and reported by all jurisdictions in King County:

displacement based on ((P�RC'3)) Puget Sound Regional Council's index or equivalent
composite set of risk indicators such as: socio-demographics, transportation qualities,
neighborhood characteristics, housing, and civic engagement.
Policy H-((-5))4: Evaluate Effectiveness
Prior to updating their comprehensive plan, a jurisdiction must evaluate the effectiveness of
i s t Ian for and accommodate ((a sin if�t))
existing housing policies and strategies to ((meet)) N
their allocated share of countywide need. This will help a jurisdiction identify the need to adjust
current policies and strategies or implement new ones. Where possible, jurisdictions are
Page 31
DocuSign Envelope ID:D57DDFD5-453A-4498-A723-3160CEA882FF
encouraged to identify actual housing units created, by affordability level, since their last
comprehensive plan update.
This evaluation must also identify gaps in existing partnerships, policies, and dedicated
resources for meeting the countywide need and eliminating racial and other disparities in
access to housing and neighborhoods of choice. This exercise helps a jurisdiction understand
what other strategies it should pursue beyond updating the comprehensive plan to meet the
goals of this chapter. Some strategies, like inclusionary housing or new dedicated resources, will
be easier to evaluate a quantitative impact and for others, it may be more qualitative.
Jurisdictions without the ability to identify the impact of each policy may wish to describe the
policies and programs that contributed to creating or preserving a given number of income-
restricted units, special needs housing units, etc.
Policy H-((6))5: Racial Exclusion and Discrimination
To inform a comprehensive plan strategy, a jurisdiction must also document the local history of
racially exclusive and discriminatory land use and housing practices, consistent with local and
regional fair housing reports and other resources.
A jurisdiction must also explain the extent to which that history is still reflected in current
development patterns, housing conditions, tenure, and access to opportunity. Examples of
suitable data include, but are not limited to:
• homeownership rates by race/ethnicity and age;
• concentration or dispersion of affordable housing or housing choice voucher usage
within the jurisdiction;
• affordability of housing in the jurisdiction to the median income household of different
races and ethnicities;
• racial demographics by neighborhood, e.g.,degrees of integration and segregation;
• access to areas of opportunity by race and ethnicity;
• demographics of residents in areas of high displacement risk; and
• results of fair housing testing performed or fair housing complaint data within a
jurisdiction.
Jurisdictions must also identify local policies and regulations that result in racially disparate
impacts, displacement, and exclusion in housing, including but not limited to:
• zoning that may have a discriminatory effect;
• disinvestment; and
• infrastructure availability.
Racially restrictive housing covenants, unrecognized treaties with Tribes, current exclusionary
zoning, and lack of investment in affordable housing are examples of discriminatory practices or
Page 32
DocuSign Envelope ID:D57DDFD5-453A-4498-A723-3160CEA882FF
policies a jurisdiction could include in an assessment. Jurisdictions should not limit their review
to local policies and regulations.The region should share resources and work together to
develop a shared understanding of how racist or discriminatory housing practices and
disparities were perpetuated by all levels of government as well as the private sector. While
each jurisdiction's assessment will be unique, King County jurisdictions are encouraged to
identify federal, state, and regional practices as well as local.
Finally, a jurisdiction must demonstrate how current strategies are addressing impacts of those
racially exclusive and discriminatory policies and practices. Using this information jurisdictions
should identify and implement policies and regulations to address and begin to undo racially
disparate impacts, displacement, and exclusion in housing caused by local policies, plans, and
actions consistent with the policies in the "Implement Policies and Strategies to Equitably Meet
Housing Needs" section.
Jurisdictions are encouraged to refer to the 2019 King County Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice (Analysis of Impediments) to understand current barriers to fair housing choice.
In addition to the guidance offered in this technical appendix, the County will support
jurisdictions in identifying and compiling resources, such as University of Washington reports
and databases, to support this analysis.
For further guidance on this analysis refer to guidance on conducting a racially disparate
impact analysis from the Department of Commerce.
Policy H-((-7))6: Collaborate Regionally
The lack of homes affordable to low-income households is a regional problem that requires
regional solutions. Jurisdictional collaboration with diverse partners is key to an effective
regional response. Jurisdictions in their collaboration are encouraged to:
• address ((t#e)) countywide housing needs;
• engage and collaborate with other entities in efforts to fund, site, and build affordable
housing;
• join resources;
• raise public and private resources together to provide the additional subsidies required
to develop housing at deeper levels of affordability;
• support affordable housing development or preservation in each other's jurisdictions;
and
• take other collaborative action to address the countywide housing needs.
Refer to the Washington State Department of Commerce's guidance for additional
recommendations for the potential and appropriate roles for interiurisdictional partnerships in
Page 33
DocuSign Envelope ID.D57DDFD5-453A-4498-A723-3160CEA882FF
meeting housing needs as well as how these roles should be reflected in countywide planning
policies and comprehensive plans.
Partners collaborating with jurisdictions are encouraged to support the following needs:
• technical assistance;
• organizational capacity building;
• land donations;
• financial contributions for operating and capital needs to support affordable housing
development, maintenance and operations needs;
• funding for other needs such as data and monitoring infrastructure; and
• advocate for efforts to fund, site, and build affordable housing.
Policies H-((9))8 through H-((24))25: Implement Policies and Strategies to Meet Housing
Needs Equitably
Jurisdictions need to employ a range of policies, incentives, strategies, actions, and regulations
tailored to equitably meet their housing need. The Puget Sound Regional Council's Housing
Innovations Program(M)12 presents a range of strategies. The strategies can be filtered by
objective, project type, and affordability level. Strategies marked with an asterisk include more
detail and are proven to be particularly effective at meeting regional housing goals. The
Municipal Research and Services Center (MSRC) ((and WashiRgteR State Department_Of
r^mmeFee also)) offers affordable housing-related resources on their websites, including
information about techniques and incentives for encouraging and planning for housing
affordability.The Washington State Department of Commerce also provides access to ample
resources including guidance on how to complete the land capacity analysis required in H-11
and on other adequate provisions jurisdictions can take to plan for and accommodate housing
needs.
Local jurisdictions may also refer to this table for suitable strategies, largely derived from
recommendations from the December 2018 Regional Affordable Housing Task Force Final
Report and Recommendations. King County's Department of Community and Human Services
will work to periodically update these suggestions on the King County website if new strategies
and best practices emerge.
((7))12((ems))Puget Sound Regional Council's Housing Innovations Program ihttps://www.psrc.org/hipl website provides a
searchable database of dozens of suggested strategies Please refer to their database for a more comprehensive list of
strategies.

Report, and Adjust
The Affordable Housing Committee Growth Management Planning Council, and King County
will conduct a comprehensive planning review, monitoring reporting and adjustment process
to ensure that jurisdictions are successful in their efforts to plan for and accommodate their
share of allocated countywide housing needs and meet the goals of this chapter. Information in
this section provides guidance to jurisdictions on their participation in this process.
H-26: Comprehensive Plan Review
The Countywide Planning Policies Housing Chapter represent an agreement between cities in
King County on strategies to equitably meet countywide housing needs. The comprehensive
plan review process conducted by the Growth Management Planning Council or its designee is
a method of confirming that the comprehensive plans prepared by jurisdictions respond to
these countywide goals Designated reviewers will use a set of plan review standards to
evaluate the completeness of plans in responding to the Housing Chapter, implementation
details for policies requiring adoption or implementation, and the meaningfulness of policies
that jurisdictions propose to plan for and accommodate their housing needs. A complete set of
standards along with technical assistance for the comprehensive plan review process, can be
found on the King County Affordable Housing Committee website.
H-27:Jurisdictional and County Reporting Requirements
Success at meeting a community's need for housing can only be determined by measuring
results and evaluating changes to housing supply and need. Cities and the County will
collaborate to monitor basic information annually, as they may already do for permits and
development activity. Annual tracking of information such as new policies, new units, and
zoning changes will make periodic assessments easier and more efficient. A limited amount of
annual monitoring will also aid in providing timely information to decision makers.
The purpose of(("FAeaswFiRg FeSUItS ^ FE)Vi ing ac`ountahility")) monitoring and reporting is
to motivate and enhance learning, collaboration, and progress. While some ((C-RRs)) Housing
Chapter Countywide Planning Policies clearly lend themselves to quantitative measures and
straightforward evaluation, some do not. This is often true when factors like the result of
engagement with disproportionately impacted community members significantly shape
implementation or where quantitative data is lacking. In these cases,jurisdictions have the
liberty to make any reasonable interpretation of the policy and report as completely and
honestly as possible how well the policy has been met.
((Policy H 25 FequiFes cities and the County to eellaberate in this PAORiteFiRg te eRSUFe

Page 48
DocuSign Envelope ID:D57DDFD5-453A-4498-A723-3160CEA882FF
Policy H-27 establishes a commitment to monitor countywide and iurisdictional progress
toward meeting housing needs and eliminating disparities in access to housing and
neighborhood choices Both King County and the cities are required to annually report data that
will assist with this monitoring process.
H-28:Annual Monitoring
Policy H-28 requires cities and the County to collaborate in monitoring to ensure continual
review of the effectiveness of local strategies at meeting the countywide need.The Affordable
Housing Committee will establish standardized benchmarks housing data trends, and
comparative standards using data collected under H-27 to aid in assessing progress over the
planning period relative to countywide trends and other jurisdictions. The information will be
collected by King County and reported annually in a public-facing, interactive regional
affordable housing dashboard. Updates on implementation strategies reported by jurisdictions
as part of the comprehensive plan review process will also be available on the Regional
Affordable Housing dashboard Information on how to prepare implementation strategies is
included in the comprehensive plan review standards guidance document on the Affordable
Housing Committee website.
H-((2-7))29: Adjust Strategies to Meet Housing Needs
((The data)) Data collected annually provides an opportunity for cities and the County to adapt
to changing conditions and new information when monitoring finds that the adopted strategies
are insufficient for meeting ((the GGWR+YWi )) housing needs or result in the perpetuation of
the inequitable distribution of affordable housing. ((Adaptation stFategies eap GGGUF befeFe the

To ensure the successful implementation of comprehensive plan goals related to housing
needs the Growth Management Planning Council Affordable Housing Committee, and King
County will organize an adjustment period for comprehensive plans at the midpoint of the ten-
year planning cycle The intent of the adjustment period is to provide a formal opportunity for
the Growth Management Planning Council or its designee to assess jurisdictional efforts in
planning for and accommodating needs and to require jurisdictions to take reasonable
measures if necessary to address any identified shortfalls.The Growth Management Planning
Council or its designee will develop Housing Chapter amendments that articulate the procedure
Page 49
DocuSign Envelope ID:D57DDFD5-453A-4498-A723-3160CEA882FF
and adequacy standards used to assess jurisdictional efforts no earlier than 2024.This includes
work to outline the reasonable measures that the Growth Management Planning Council will
use to address shortfalls.
In developing these amendments the Growth Management Planning Council or its designee
will develop Countywide Planning Policy amendments informed by guidance, if available, from
the Washington State Department of Commerce who under directive from 2021 House Bill
1241 will organize a state-run implementation progress report process for local comprehensive
plans Per state law, the progress report process is also meant to occur at the five-year
midpoint of the planning cycle.

If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to
receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents
from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made
available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
