Grant County, WashingtonThe Comprehensive Plan's purpose and intent is to provide for local needs relating to the use of land and infrastructure, including the protection of property and water rights, and in so doing, to meet the State's minimum planning law requirements. Comprehensive planning for Grant County will help ensure that the following goals will be accomplished: Tax dollars invested in public roads, water and sewer systems, fire stations, parks and other public services are spent wisely. Funding for development and capital improvement projects is secured. Long-range considerations are incorporated into decisions on short-range actions. Public interests, and the interest of the community at large, are promoted rather than the interests of individuals or special groups within the communities. Interests of property owners are protected. The analyses of existing conditions, issues, facilities, population projections, and other factors within the Comprehensive Plan will aid Grant County officials and the County Commissioners in their decision-making role. It seeks to establish a clear intent and policy base that can be used to develop and interpret municipal regulations. The Comprehensive Plan is also intended to maintain reasonable continuity in future decision-making as turnover occurs within the County's legislative body. However, the plan must be periodically reviewed and updated to reflect technological, social, economic, and political changes that may invalidate certain plans and policies. The Comprehensive Plan provides a legally recognized framework for making decisions about land use and other planning and policy priorities; however, it is fundamentally a policy document providing direction for how land use goals, policies, and regulations should be applied for the next 10 to 20 years in Grant County. The policies are required by the GMA to be implemented through the use of such regulatory tools as zoning and subdivision ordinances, as well as other innovative techniques. These regulations must be developed and maintained in accordance with the goals and policies of this Comprehensive Plan. Last update 1/17/2020.
