Comprehensive Plan and Input to the Puget Sound Regional Council’s VISION 2050

UGA, UGB, SWUGA BPS! Comprehensive Plan?? 

What does it all have to do with Clearview??!!

Turns out it has a lot to do with Clearview.  Our lovely rural area is in the headlights of oncoming population growth.  Our community exists just outside one of the fastest growing areas in the country and there is pressure on the county to use our area to help house the increased population growth being projected by VISION 2050.

The SURVEY is HERE!!

Heads up, Clearview!  The Survey from Snohomish County Long-Term Planning is available to find out what YOU want to see happen in our area!  Now’s your chance, click here, answer the questions, write your comments, and let them know what you think!

Why a survey?  Because there are 10,000 of us!  and the people from the Southwest Urban Growth Area (SWUGA) Boundary Planning Study (BPS) want to get as much information as possible.

Will there be follow up?  After information is collected from all of us and other interested parties (yes, developers and others are having input as well), the people working on the planning study will be creating multiple scenarios for our area, including “no change”.  These scenarios will be presented in a Workshop put on by the county before midsummer this year.  We all will have opportunities to comment on the various scenarios.

What happens then?  This study is to provide information to the county commissioners that they can use when working on decisions around the 2023 Update to the Comprehensive Plan to meet the goals of the Growth Management Act for Snohomish County.

Need help with filling out the survey?  Contact our secretary, Lori McConnell, by email at lorimcco@gmail.com and we’ll set up a time to help you. The more people answering the survey the better, so we’re happy to help.
