Urba n growth area means those areas designated by Clallam County pursuant to the polices in the County-wide Planning Policy and Comprehensive Plan. Urban growth refers to growth that makes intensive use of land for the location of buildings, structures, and impermeable surfaces to such a degree as to be incompatible with the production of food, other agricultural products, or fiber, or the extraction of mineral resources. When allowed to spread over wide areas, urban growth typically requires urban governmental services. Rural growth over the last twenty (20) years has made many rural residential areas incompatible with the production of food, etc. These areas, however, do not typically require urban governmental services, such as neighborhood parks, sanitary sewer systems, water systems and stormwater systems. Those areas where these urban governmental services are now provided, or are needed, should be considered for designation as urban growth areas. ---CCC 31.02.220 Urban Growth Areas</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/e19db2469ee541d89823a1d5559a1cb1_0</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>Clallam County GIS Portal</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Urban Growth Areas [Washington (State)--Clallam County]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>Washington (State)--Clallam County</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Washington (State)</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2026-01-02</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
