WAC 365-195-865   Supplementing, amending and monitoring.  (1) New development regulations may be adopted from time to time as the need for supplementing the initial implementation strategy becomes apparent. However, because development regulations must be consistent with the comprehensive plans, substantive amendments to such regulations will frequently need to be accompanied by a comprehensive plan amendment. Since comprehensive plans can be amended only once a year (except in emergencies), consideration of significant changes in the land use management scheme will, by and large, become an annual affair.

     (2) Cities and counties should institute an annual review of growth management implementation on a systematic basis. To aid in this process, planning jurisdictions should consider establishing a growth management monitoring program designed to measure and evaluate the progress being made toward accomplishing the act's goals and the provisions of the comprehensive plan. This program should be integrated with provisions for continuous public involvement. (See WAC 365-195-600 (2)(b).)
