King County Code Review
- Plan
Convene the Growth Management Committee and the Transportation Committee jointly to temporarily form the GMTC over a 3-month time period to address the following overarching goal: “To recommend to the King County Executive and King County Council specific code changes to protect the Rural Area from massive urban development and its “overflow” (intentional or not).”
- Specific Goals
Address the following Rural Area impacts that either we anticipate or have seen from the Black Diamond MPDs and other large developments (not in order of any priority):
- Transportation: congestion; road maintenance; mitigation; transit
- Schools sited in the RA and tax increases within urban/rural School Districts
- Stormwater runoff flooding and pollution
- Drying up of private domestic wells
- Stormwater retention facilities sited in the RA
- Sewerage collection, transport, and treatment
- Park needs and contributions
- Commercial and retail impacts
