Background Summary:
At the request of municipalities throughout Washington State, the State Legislature considered revising
the deadline for the 7-year update to comprehensive plans. Introduced in January of 2010 and adopted
in March, State Senate Bill No. 6611 became effective on June 10, 2010. The bill served to extend time
frames to allow for the completion of a fully comprehensive review and update of comprehensive plans.
The full review and update of the comprehensive plan has been extended until 2014 for the City of
Auburn. To reflect the time for the required update the Planning Department is recommending that the
City of Auburn update two sections of Chapter 14.22 ACC to reflect this change.
