Exhibit A
RELATING TO GROWTH MANAGEMENT, AMENDING THE COUNTY-WIDE
PLANNING POLICIES
BE IT ORDAINED:
Section 1. The Kitsap County Board of County Commissioners makes the
following Findings:
A. The Kitsap County County-wide Planning Policies (CPPs) are intended to
establish a county-wide framework from which county and city comprehensive plans
are developed and adopted pursuant to RCW 36.?0A.210 of the Washington State
Growth Management Act (GMA).
B. The CPPs are developed through a cooperative and collaborative process that
involves the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo, as
well as the Suquamish and Port Gamble S'klallam Tribes, through the Kitsap
Regional Coordinating Council (KRCC).
C. Kitsap County has adopted County-wide Planning Policies that promote
contiguous and orderly development and establish provisions for urban services to
such development, as well as policies for siting public capital facilities of county-wide
or statewide nature, affordable housing, coordinated county and city Urban Growth
Area (UGA) planning, economic development and employment, and participation
with local tribes.
D. Planning is an iterative process; therefore, it is appropriate that the County-wide
Planning Policies should be reviewed and assessed through the KRCC at least
every five years, with revisions, if necessary consistent with the State Growth
Management Act, Ch. 36.70A RCW.
Section 2. General Procedural Findings. The Kitsap County Board of
Commissioners makes the following findings regarding the process and public
participation aspects of amending the County-wide Planning Policies:
A. The Kitsap County Regional Coordinating Council is an organization consisting of
elected officials from Kitsap County, the four Kitsap County cities, Bainbridge Island,
Bremerton, Poulsbo and Port Orchard, as well as the Suquamish and Port Gamble
S'Klallam Tribes. One of the functions of the KRCC is to coordinate land use
planning throughout Kitsap County.
B. Beginning in 2013, the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council began an update
process for the Countywide Planning Policies in order to establish Population and
Employment Targets for the 20-year planning horizon.
C. On March 3, 2015, the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council held a work study
session on the proposed Countywide Planning Policies.

D. On April 7, 2015, the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council approved the
proposed amendments and forwarded the proposed Countywide Planning Policies
to Kitsap County to begin the County's legislative process.
E. On April 13, 2015, State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) checklists were
completed and submitted to the County's SEPA official.
F. On April 15, 2015, the SEPA official issued a Determination of Nonsignificance. A
fourteen day appeal period was opened. No appeals were submitted by the requisite
date of April 30, 2015.

proposed revision to the countywide planning policies.
H. Pursuant to Appendix_ A of the CPPs, Ratification Process, the Cities of
Bremerton, Bainbridge Island, Port Orchard and Poulsbo, and the Suquamish and
S'Klallam Tribal Councils must ratify the amendment within 90 days of the date of
the County's adoption of this Ordinance. If at least three Cities fail to ratify the
amendment within this timeframe, the amendments to the CPPs shall not take place
and the matter shall be referred back to the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council for
further discussion.
Section 3. The Kitsap County Board of Commissioners find that the following
proposed revisions to the CPPs are appropriate and should be adopted. These
changes are summarized as follows and set forth in Attachment A, which is

is ratified by at least three Cities within the County.
Section 5. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance, or its application to any
person, entity or circumstance is for any reason held invalid, the remainder of the
Ordinance, or the application of the provision to other persons, entities or circumstances
is not affected.
Section 6. Clerical/Typographical Error. Should this Ordinance, upon being enacted
by the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners during its deliberations on May 11, 2015,
have anything inadvertently left out or in error upon publication, the explicit action of the
Board as discussed and passed shall prevail upon subsequent review and verification
