VIII LEGISLATION
1. Review of Requirements of Growth Management Act
Planning Director Collins made a presentation on the requirements of the Growth
Management Act, or ESHB 2929, which includes the development of a new
Comprehensive Plan by July 1, 1993; the designation of a 20-year urban growth
area beyond current City limits by July 1, 1991; and the designation of critical
areas and resource lands by September 1, 1991. This legislation became
effective July 1, 1990, and fortunately, the City had already begun work on
updating its Comprehensive Plan.
Discussion involved current and future actions that must be taken by the City
with regard to the Growth Management Act, and consideration was given to the
technical and political consequences of this legislation.
Consideration was given to a Mortgage Revenue Bond Program available through
the Washington State Housing Finance Commission. This Program is designed to
assist public corporations, housing authorities, and other municipal
corporations in offering home ownership opportunities to low and mid income
families. The financing is available via 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans at
8.35% interest. The City would be required to pay a reservation fee of $5,000
for a financing amount totaling $1,000,000.
Councilmembers present were anxious to pursue this program and since the
application is due December 3, 1990, decided by consensus to forward the
application and place the matter on the agenda for the upcoming City Council
meeting on December 4th. It was noted the City has the right to review the
program in more depth at a later date and will not be bound by the application
it submits.
