Item No. 5.G. For Meeting of: November 17, 2015

ITEM TITLE:

Resolution authorizing an Master Interlocal Agreement with Yakima County which updates and continues to provide a management structure for growth within the City's Urban Growth Area

SUBMITTED BY:

Joan Davenport , Community Development Director

Jeff Peters, Supervising Planner - 509-575-6163

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:

As a requirement of the Washington State Growth Management Act, Yakima County and the incorporated cities are required to maintain the “Countywide Planning Policies” as well as enter into Interlocal Agreements that implement these policies. Over this year, City of Yakima staff has cooperatively worked with Yakima County to review and revise these County Wide Policies to meet the needs of both City and County, which has resulted in the proposed Interlocal Agreement which will promote inter-jurisdiction cooperation, and continue to provide a management structure for growth and development that is coordinated and meets the goals and policies of the Growth Management Act for years to come. The County Wide Planning Policy document was last amended in 2003.
