Pierce County began that work, through the Growth Management Coordinating Committee (GMCC), towards the end of 2009 and has continued that work through March 2011.

The GMCC has been working on proposed changes to the CPPs to be consistent with Vision 2040 has made their recommendation to the PCRC. The PCRC has been reviewing the CPP amendments and has made their recommendation to the Pierce County Council for ratification. Staff presented the proposed amendments to the Committee back at their April 12, 2010 meeting and received feedback from the Committee. Enclosed for reference is the memo staff presented at that April 2010 meeting (Exhibit B). Status of Proposed Countywide Planninq Policies Amendments Attached to this memo for the Committee's reference is the final draft that the PCRC forwarded to the Pierce County Council for approval and ratification (Exhibit A).
