 Land Use Planning
 Whatcom County is working on two important planning issues that need to be completed to bring the County into compliance with the Washington Growth Management Act: Rural Element Update - amending the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and zoning maps in some rural areas, limiting more intensive growth to land within Limited Areas of More Intensive Rural Development (LAMIRDs), and Urban Growth Area Review - setting the boundaries of urban growth areas to accommodate growth over the next 20 years.
