WAC 365-195-050   Presumption of validity.  Comprehensive plans and development regulations adopted under the act are presumed valid upon adoption. Nevertheless, jurisdictions whose plans are challenged will be obliged to furnish a record for the review process. Although the presumption of validity should discourage meritless appeals, if the presumption is overcome in any case, the county or city will be required to demonstrate compliance with the act. Such a demonstration will be aided by a record which documents deliberations, shows data relied upon, and explains how conclusions were reached.
