Housing-focused Draft Comprehensive Draft Review Program

Every ten years jurisdictions in King County develop comprehensive plans to shape communities and plan for anticipated growth, including local housing needs. The Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) create a shared framework for comprehensive planning in jurisdictions throughout King County. As of 2023, the CPPs establish housing needs at different income levels that jurisdictions must plan for and accommodate over the next two decades.

New in 2023, the Affordable Housing Committee (AHC) reviews draft comprehensive plans to ensure consistency with countywide policy goals in the CPP Housing Chapter.

AHC staff developed materials to assist jurisdictions in aligning with the CPP Housing Chapter and are available to provide technical assistance to jurisdictions on request.

Questions on plan review? Reach out to AHC staff at AHCplanreview@kingcounty.gov
