Under the Washington State Growth Management Act, local\ngovernments in the state have to adopt, regularly amend, and periodically\nupdate an Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. The plan helps guide long-range land\nuse policy in urban areas by establishing a community vision for effectively\nmanaging growth over a twenty-year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those objectives are accomplished\nthrough zoning, permitting, and the implementation of other regulatory controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
