WAC 365-195-020   Purpose.  Within the framework established by the act, a wide diversity of local visions of the future can be accommodated. Moreover, there is no exclusive method for accomplishing the planning and development regulation requirements of the act. However, in light of the complexity and difficulty of the task, the legislature assigned the department of community development the function of establishing a program of technical assistance. As part of that program, the department is directed to adopt by rule procedural criteria to assist counties and cities in adopting comprehensive plans and development regulations that meet the goals and requirements of the act. The purpose of this chapter is to carry out that directive.
