Planning Work Program 2023-25
The draft was approved for public comment by the Washington County Board of Commissioners on April 18. Comments will be taken through June 2.
For the first time, the Planning Work Program will span two years. As most of our planning work takes longer than one year, it makes sense to extend the program to two years. This will allow us to more efficiently assign our staff and budget. This year the Planning Work Program also includes the work of Development Review/Current Planning, in order to recognize the tasks of all planners in the department.
Our Planning Work Program helps our community, transportation and development review planners know which projects to work on by prioritizing needs with the guidance and support of the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
The work program balances:
- Staff and budget resources
- Regulatory requirements (federal, state, regional mandates)
- Community input and requests
Most of our planning work is required by state or local policies. This includes:
- Development review
- Comprehensive Plan amendments, transportation modeling, mapping, Transportation, Transportation Development Tax administration, Statewide Transit Improvement Fund management
- Planning efforts at the local, regional and state level, such as city planning for new urban areas and the Metro Regional Transportation Plan
- Implementation of local, regional, state and federal policies
- Planning for major regional transportation projects like TV Highway Transit, SW Corridor, Tolling and the Westside Multimodal Study
The remainder of our work is divided into four themes that align with the County's goals and policy direction.
The themes in the draft Planning Work Program 2023-25 include:
- Housing Production and Affordability
- Natural Resources and Climate Change
- Multimodal Transportation Planning
- Plan and Development Code Updates
