The Vashon-Maury Island Subarea Plan included three Workplan Action Items that needed more review outside the scope of the subarea planning process.

1. Review of “P-Suffix” Development Conditions
   Review the history of all property-specific development conditions (or p-suffixes) on Vashon-Maury Island to see if any updates are needed. Thirty-two p-suffix conditions are now under review, and this has been included in the scope of the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update, which is now underway. Learn more on our community outreach public input website.
2. Sewer Local Service Area
   Review the legislative history of the sewer Local Service Area on Vashon-Maury Island and determine its current boundary. This was completed in 2019 and the associated report was transmitted to the King County Council.
