Acknowledgements: This Annual Report reflects the dedication, profes-
sionalism and hard work of the 255 employees of the King County
Department of Assessments. The report was compiled by a special
project team of Department employees: graphic arts designs, Leroy
Knopp;statistical tabulation and layout, Donald Wirth;production liaison,
F.J. Van de Putte; and editorial coordination and project supervision,
Robert Gold. Special thanks to all of them.
A MESSAGE In 1985 King County contains nearly 600,000 properties and
accounts worth more than 57 billion dollars. The job of appraising
from the the value of this real and personal property is complex and difficult.
My goal, above all, is fairness.
KING COUNTY ASSESSOR This past year has been a highly successful one for the King County
Department of Assessments. In addition to the ongoing task of
valuing properties, I have continued my efforts to revamp and im-
prove the Department. In this report I want to highlight some of the
steps taken to give you improved access to public information, bet-
ter assessment practices, more efficiencies and improved employee
morale. All of these changes were made without any increase in
staff.
A BLUE RIBBON CITIZEN'S TASK FORCE did a comprehensive
review of the Department. This distinguished panel of volunteers
worked longer than six months and submitted more than 80
recommendations for improving the organization and operations of
the Department. I have already implemented many of them and am
continuing to work on others.
AN INTERNAL APPRAISAL IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE was
established to recommend ways of improving assessments and
internal procedures. This committee submitted over 40 recommen-
dations, the majority of which are enacted or in the process of
M! enactment.
We have continued to expand PUBLIC INFORMATION SERVICES.
The Department now initiates letters to owners of destroyed
property to assure their awareness of available tax relief. The
Department also insituted a new on-line computer system in the
Public Information area. This system allows faster response to
property inquiries and provides more types of information to the
public. Seven well-attended Taxpayer Assistance Meetings to
discuss property valuation were held throughout the County at
times and places convenient to working people. We will continue to
hold such meetings in the coming year. Finally, the Department
published a Public Disclosure Index to its records, the first such In-
dex published by County government. I am confident that it will be
an indispensable aid to all citizens seeking access to our Depart-
ment's records.
All of these positive changes reflect hard work, thorough analysis
and extra effort on the part of both staff and citizen volunteers.
Department operations have already improved markedly because of
them. I am personally gratified and grateful for their help.

What kinds of property are taxable?
Under Washington State law,two types of property can be assessed and
taxed.
The first type is real property(real estate) which is land, improvements to
the land (driveways, bulkheads, etc.) and any improvements (buildings,
etc.) attached to the land.
The second type is personal property.As defined by law taxable personal
property includes agricultural machinery and equipment,manufacturer's,
contractors's and logging machinery and equipment, office machinery
and equipment, supplies and materials not held for sale and which do not

thereon. This is the job of an "appraiser." Appraisal methods used in
the taxes. King County follow basic appraisal practices and procedures used by
all appraisers in the profession. Three approaches may be utilized to
determine real property value. They are:
Cost: The reproduction or replacement cost new, less
accrued depreciation.
Market: The market data (sales comparison) approach.
Income: The income or capitalization of economic rents
approach.
All three techniques are applied, if appropriate, in appraising improved
commercial and industrial properties. The cost and market approaches
are the basis of appraisal of improved residential properties. The market
data approach is most often used to determine the value of vacant land.
Whenever the Assessor revalues your property, you will receive a
"Valuation Change Notice." (See form on page 2.)

Computer Assisted Information Services
For a number of years the Department of Assessments has been develop-
ing modern computer assisted information and data systems to facilitate
storage, access and analysis necessary to value and equalize the almost
600,000 real and personal property parcels and accounts in King
County.
In March, 1985 the computer systems used in the valuation of residential
property were converted to a modern Data Base System, providing on-
line access to much property data.The on-line system provides faster ac-
cess to more up-to-date real property information for Department and
public use.
In conjunction with this, much of the microfiche system for taxpayer in-
formation has been phased out, and computer terminals installed in the
Public Information Area (room 700A) for taxpayer use. Taxpayers may
now use self-service terminals or receive assistance from a readily
available staff.
Automated Systems in Personal Property
AREPORT ON PROGRESS The Personal Property Division also, in recent years, initiated computer
assisted procedures to improve its efficiency. One example is the printing
of taxpayer asset costs on Personal Property Affidavits. The taxpayer
need only show changes which have occurred in the prior year rather than
relisting all cost data each year.
Other enhancements allow faster processing of affidavits once they are 29
received by the Assessor. This in turn provides more time for staff to go
into the field to meet with taxpayers to resolve specific problems and to
assess newly established businesses.
Improved communication with the business community continues to be
an important goal of the Personal Property Division.
Appraisal Mapping Improvements and Information
The Accounting Division carried out a coordinated series of special proj-
ects to update and improve appraisal mapping and information to the
public.
A COMPREHENSIVE ZONING UPDATE involved obtaining current zoning
information from all jurisdictions and updating over 2,000 maps and af-
fected parcels.
In an UPDATE OF APPRAISAL BOUNDARIES, a major redrawing of our
residential appraisal areas was accomplished. This involved over 1,170
maps and all records for the individual parcels affected.
In another project involving updating 1,200 maps, boundaries of
DESIGNATED WETLANDS were identified on our quarter section
overlays. Square footage of wetland and non-wetland area was added to
parcels bisected by the wetland boundaries.
A concentrated effort was made also in several commercial/industrial
areas to compute and record SQUARE FOOTAGE LAND AREA on our
master maps.

biting at an altitude of 440 miles.
A MESSAGE This year King County contains almost 600,000 properties and ac-
counts worth more than 54 billion dollars. The task of appraising the
from the value of this real and personal property is complex and difficult. Our
goal, in all of this, is fairness.
KING COUNTY ASSESSOR In this, my first annual message to you as your King County Assessor, I
want to report our progress to date and some of my priorities for the
future. High on that list are a series of initiatives and changes that will
make the Department of Assessments more accessible,understandable
and responsive to the citizens of King County, while increasing the effi-
ciency of the Department and making it a better place to work.
A newly instituted Community Education Program will feature, as of
this year,a series of Taxpayer Assistance Meetings held throughout the
county at times and places convenient to working people, especially
where taxpayers face increases in their property valuations. Our aim is
to reach out to help citizens understand how the Department serves
'• them, how we determine the value of their property,
,�_� p p rty, and how we can
assist if they think the value set on their property is incorrect.
Services available at the Public Information Counter also have been in-
,• creased. Taxpayers who may want to question or appeal a property
,, valuation now can get copies of the comparable sales data used by the
Department to determine property values in each area of the County.
' Still more improvements are due later this year, including a new system
of on-line computer terminals to make it simpler, easier and faster for
the public to get information.
I have reduced salary and other expenses in my administrative office.
The money saved is being reinvested in training for the Department's
appraisers and support staff. This will enable them to do a better job for
the taxpayer and increase career development opportunities in the
Department — especially for women and minorities.
Finally, I am establishing a blue ribbon Citizen Task Force to do a com-
plete review of the organization and operations of the Assessor's Office.
They will recommend changes that will promote easier access to public
information, increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness, improve
employee morale, foster better cooperation with local governmental
units, and in general, enhance public confidence in the office. With
members drawn from the commercial sector, civic organizations,
academic institutions and local government, the Task Force will have
the benefit of a wide array of expertise and perspectives. They will also
have specific deadlines to assure that I can report their recommenda-
tions long before next year's Annual Report.

What kinds of property are taxable?
Under Washington State law, two types of property can be assessed
and taxed.
The first type is real estate which is land. Also assessable are any im-
provements (buildings, etc.) made to that land.
The second type is personal property. As defined by law taxable per-
sonal property includes agricultural machinery and equipment,
manufacturer's, contractors's and logging machinery and equipment,
office machinery and equipment, supplies and materials not held for
TAX FACTS sale and which do not become an ingredient or component of an arti-
cle being produced for sale. Furniture and fixtures in commercial use,

King County follow basic appraisal practices and procedures used by
all appraisers in the profession. Three approaches may be utilized to
determine real property value. They are:
Cost: The reproduction or replacement cost new, less
accrued depreciation.
Market: The market sales comparison approach.
Income: The income or capitalization of economic rents
approach.
All three techniques are applied, if appropriate, in appraising improved
commercial and industrial properties.The cost and market approaches
are the basis of appraisal of improved residential properties. The
market comparison approach is most often used to determine the
value of vacant land. Whenever the Assessor revalues your property,
you will receive a "Valuation Change Notice." (See form on page 2.)

The value of King County properties, as reported on the tax
rolls, based at 100% of assessed value, has increased nearly
nine-fold over the past 20 years. However, there was a four
percent decrease in assessed valuation from 1983 to 1984, a
dollar amount of $2,283,670,335, due mainly to the removal
of business inventories from the tax base, commencing with
the 1984 tax roll, (RCW 84.36.477). The total assessed valua-
tion of taxable property, for the 1984 tax roll is

Computer Assisted Information Services
The Department of Assessments is becoming a modern, computer-
assisted unit of government. For a number of years the Department
has been developing and refining a sophisticated computer program to
carry on a continuing market analysis and review of all properties in
King County. The analysis is made by comparing annual sales of ap-
proximately 35,000 to 40,000 homes with other comparable proper-
ties.
In recent months the Department started making available to the
public a computer-generated report listing sales of comparable proper-
ties by neighborhood. Later this year the microfiche system, used to
record and display data on appraisal/sales histories and property
characteristics, will be replaced by a more up-to-date, on-line com-
puter system. People who are seeking information on properties will
be able to "punch up" the properties on easy-to-use computer ter-
minals that will make it faster and simpler to make inquiries regarding
property characteristics. Soon, with the cooperation of other units of
King County government, the Assessor's maps also may be
computer-produced.
Appeals Coordination
The Department is also working hard to improve its coordination with
A REPORT ON PROGRESS the King County Board of Equalization. When appropriate, the depart-
ment now supports the entry of multi-year valuation change orders in- 27
stead of only single year orders.This should help to end valuation fluc-
tuations, or the "yo-yo" effect, in which some taxpayers who suc-
cessfully appeal a property valuation experience its almost immediate
return to the same or higher levels the next year.
Administration and Personnel Development
The King County Assessor is responsible for appraising all real and per-
sonal property to establish a value upon which the various taxing
bodies such as county, cities, schools, roads, fire protection districts,
etc., levy taxes. To carry out this task, she manages the Department
of Assessments, consisting of four major divisions totaling 255 full-
time staff positions. The present staff level represents a decrease of
three positions from 1983 due to efficiencies in the Personal Property
Division and the Assessor's administrative office.
Affirmative action and career development for all employees are
hallmarks of the Assessor's personnel policies. The advancement and
morale of the department's professional,technical,administrative and
support staff is in part dependent on the ongoing training and promo-
tional opportunities they receive. A lack of such options has been
most obvious for women and minorities, who are underrepresented
among middle and upper level positions. The Assessor is addressing
these needs by increasing training and internal promotion oppor-
tunities for all staff, and by reaching out to all communities in recruit-
ment.
MARKET TRENDS
The volume of real estate sales reversed its decline in 1983, possibly reflecting impatience on
the part of sellers, lower interest rates for fixed-rate long-term mortgages, and the growing
use of alternatives to traditional fixed-rate long-term mortgages. Real estate prices for
residential property showed small declines in many areas, although market growth continued
in the more expensive residential properties.

9 PREAMBLE:
10 King County Resolution No. 34569 (hereinafter "Resolution" )
was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners (now the
11 King County council under the King County Charter) on
December 18, 1967 and is commonly referred to as the Forward
12 Thrust Arterial Highway Improvement Bond Resolution.
13 This Resolution was approved by the voters of King County on
the 13th day of February, 1968. The voters authorized the
14 issuance of General Obligation Bonds for the purpose of
improving existing public arterial highway facilities all
15 within King County by the various cities and towns in King
16 County.
17 Arterial highway facilities as contemplated by the
Resolution and defined therein mean public roads lawfully
designated as arterials by the State of Washington and other
18 appropriate governmental agencies . Projects described in
19 Section 3 of the Resolution assigned to the city of Renton
provides that no projects are limited solely to the facili-
ties listed and the funds are available for additional
20 - arterial highway facilities .
21 Paragraph FF of Section 3 of the Resolution provides for
improvement of traffic control signals and street lighting
22 served by underground wiring to be done within the incor-
23 porated limits of cities other than the City of Seattle.
24 Section 6 of the Resolution provides in part that if all
projects which the local governmental agency has been
25 authorized to accomplish have been completed or completion
duly provided for, or their completion found to be imprac-
26 tical , such excess bond proceeds may be applied to carry out
such other public arterial highway facilities purposes
within the territory limits of the agency as may be deter-
mined by the legislative authority thereof and found by the
28 board of county commissioners to be consistent with the pur-
poses of the Resolution and to be a county purpose.
29 The City of Renton on August 1 , 1983 enacted Resolution No.

modify the street project list in King County Resolution

Planning and Planning and Development Committee Chairman Stredicke presented
Development a report regarding G. M. Associates request for a two-year
Committee extension of B-1 zoning granted under File No. R-019-82 for
G. M. Associates the Northward Rezone in 1982. The Committee found that the
Request for B-1 zoning for the subject property was approved upon the
ExtEnsion of condition that the zoning would revert to its earlier G-1
Zon ng classification if a building permit is not issued for the
property within two years following the enactment of the
ordinance.
Con :inued The Committee found that the condition of rezone approval
has not been met, is not likely to be met in the near future
since extension of utilities has not occurred, and an
extension is unwarranted in considering the facts and
circumstances presented by the applicant. It appears the
requested rezone is premature.
Con :inued There is no established procedure by which the applicant is
entitled to request an extension of the zone reclassification.
Therefore, in the event that the zoning of the subject property
reverts pursuant to the rezone ordinance and the restrictive
covenants, then the appropriate procedure would be for the
applicant to file a new application for rezone. That
application would be considered by the Hearing Examiner and
the City Council in the light of the present facts and
circumstances and without regard to the previously granted
zone reclassification which was contingent upon development
of the property.
Con:inued Therefore, the Committee recommends that the City Council
adopt the findings set forth above and deny the applicant' s
request for an extension of the zone reclassification.
Also recommended is referral to Ways and Means Committee
for necessary legislation. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY

Dear King County Residents:
As many of you know,the County Council has been working for the past few months on the County Executive's proposed General
Development Guide, the revised long range plan for King County. After the first round of public workshops on the Guide,the Planning
and Community Development Committee,which I chair,deliberated intensively throughout the summer. Revisions to the Guide have
been proposed based on the public comments. These revisions will be discussed in another series of public workshops this fall.
The revisions being considered by the Committee are presented as a compromise which preserves the sound principles of growth
management for maintaining our high quality of life as expressed by Executive Revelle,while honoring the desire for more flexibility as
requested by the public. The Planning and Community Development Committee has made no recommendations on the proposed
changes in order to encourage maximum public comment.
The basic differences between the Executive's Guide and the proposed changes are outlined in this brochure. Dates and times of
public meetings are listed on the back. I encourage you to contact my office at 344-3483 if you have any questions or comments.
We are planning for the future of our county. The Committee members and I look forward to seeing you at the public meetings.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Sullivan,Chair

RE: King (;ounty's General Development Guide
Dear King County Executive and Councilmembers:
As expressed in the attached resolution, the City of Renton extends its support for
adcption of the Executive Proposed General Development Guide for King County. The
proposed Guide establishes a positive framework for accommodating urban growth.
Many of the concerns of the City of Renton have been addressed in this latest proposal.
However, cur general concerns about growth in King County merit restatement below.
Some specil is recommendations about policies in the Guide are also presented.
General Concerns
1. The City of Renton continues to be concerned about the expansion of suburban
development, sometimes with inadequate facilities or at very low densities, in
unincorporated areas surrounding Renton.
2. Urb3n development in unincorporated King County has been and is being allowed
without providing complete urban facilities and services. Then, as service
demands grow, as urban density increases, or when annexation occurs, public
facilities must be upgraded, resulting in substantial costs and inefficiency.
3. The City of Renton maintains that urban development does not take place in
unincorporated areas without affecting incorporated areas, and vice versa. The
impacts of present and future development in unincorporated areas on facilities
and services within the City of Renton---especially area-wide facilities such as
major arterials and community parks--is significant. While individual
dove lopments may represent a small percentage of use for area-wide facilities,
the cumulative impacts of present and future growth are a major concern.
4. Continued expansion of special districts throughout the unincorporated area
hampers organized urban growth. Therefore, planning for logical service
boundaries and for municipal annexations is difficult.
The Honorable Randy Revelle, King County Executive
Members of the King County Council
August 13, 1984
Page 2
5. Incompatible development standards between unincorporated and incorporated
areas and the expansion of special districts has led to competition for urban
growth and ultimately to urban sprawl.
Specific Recommendations
1. The City of Renton specifically endorses the proposed General Development
Guide policies related to Open Space, and Environment. The land use policies
which integrate new development with environmental constraints, such as
wetlands, steep slopes, landslide hazards and other physical limitations, are most
constructive. Likewise, the policy approach taken toward agriculture and other
resource lands will be instrumental in preserving the rich heritage of King County.
2. Thu City of Renton also supports the designation of long term Urban and Rural
areas as proposed in the Guide. These policies will define the limits of urban
grcwth and help to focus appropriate services in urban areas.
3. Policy PC-101 identifies local cities as the primary locations of urban growth.
Implementation of this policy is necessary to provide the most logical, orderly and
cost efficient means of accommodating urban development.
4. The General Development Guide appropriately focuses on the availability of
facilities and services to accommodate urban development. Policies PC-202 and
PC-203 are crucial to directing the location and timing of growth. The City of
Renton strongly supports the concept that facilities and services must be provided
prier to or 'n phase with development.
5. However, the General Development Guide should contain specific recognition of
the potential impacts to facilities and services in incorporated areas--especially
transportation and recreation--that result from new development in
unircorporated areas and vice versa. The Guide should stress the need for King
County and local cities to cooperatively address this issue.
6. Because of these interjurisdictional effects of growth, the setting of service
standards, the verification of available facilities and services, and the allocation
of costs called for in policies PC-202 and PC-203 should be accomplished in
cooperation with local cities.
7. Policies F-106, F-107 and F-211 linking individual development approval with the
provision of adequate on-site and off-site facilities and services are strongly
endcrsed by the City of Renton. Now development, both in King County and in
the City of Renton, should be provided with adequate neighborhood
facilities--such as local streets, sidewalks, developed parks, sanitary sewers,
storm drainage, etc.--and with community facilities--arterial streets, major
utilil y trunk lines, developed community parks--within the respective
jurisdictions. These policies, however, should include reference to the adequacy
of facilities, especially transportation, within incorporated areas which serve new
development in unincorporated areas. Development approval should also be linked
to adequacy or improvements in these facilities in adjacent jurisdictions.

8. Adoption and implementation of Policies F-112 and PI-302 through PI-306 will
represent a major step toward bringing order to the current annexation and
service extension process. Recognition of the cities as the preferred service
providers within future annexation areas will allow the cities and special purpose
districts to plan for efficient and cost effective extension of services.
9. The implementation process set forth in Appendix A is a key to the effectiveness
of the General Development Guide. From Renton's point of view. the
identification of lcgica! annexation and service boundaries and development of
service level standards by King County in cooperation with local cities will form
the basis for accommodating urban development in those areas where it is most
aF propriate.
10. In this regard, the designation of Urban Growth Centers and the revision of
community plans in "candidate" areas is of concern to Renton. In particular,
portions of the East Renton Plateau in the Newcastle Planning Area should be
considered for higher density development. Proliferation of suburban
development at three or fewer units per acre in this area precludes future
redevelopment and disrupts the logical extension of urban services. Much of the
EEIst Renton Plateau can be served by City of Renton facilities in an efficient and
cc st-effective manner. Therefore, this area meets the criteria for residential
de velopment in Policy R-201 better than some other areas indicated for higher
density growth.
11. In order to facilitate awareness and cooperation between King County and the
loi.a1 cities, the City of Renton recommends that the General Development Guide
contain a policy calling for mutual solicitation and consideration of formal
comments on development proposals that may have service and facility
consequences in the adjacent jurisdiction.
Thank you for the opportunity to express our thoughts on the General Development
Guide. Wo trust these comments, endorsements and suggestions will be useful to the King
County Council and Executive in reviewing and implementing the General Development
Guide.
The City Council has directed the City of Renton Administration and staff to work closely
with King County and with other jurisdictions to refine and implement the General
Development Guide. We look forward to the positive results of mutual cooperation in this
regard.

Guide mayors are generally pleased with the guide and, on behalf of
their cities, have submitted suggested changes to the final
draft. The purpose of the guide is to control and guide growth
in the county to prevent urban sprawl , with the major thrust
being to encourage urbanization near already developed areas
or cities and leave the county rural . Balancing the right of
the private property owner to develop his land versus the
ability of government to provide basic services is of prime
importance. Further review of urban service standards and
the role of the Boundary Review Board has been deemed necessary
by the Suburban Cities Association prior to its endorsement of
the guide, and the Association reserves the right to withhold

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT TO COUNCIL
May 14, 1984
County Executive Revelle's General Development Guide is much in the news
lately. The County Council has begun a series of public hearings on the
document prior to their own deliberations and acceptance, modification, or
rejecticn of the plan.
The subLrban mayors are generally pleased with the guide and satisfied with
the oppertunity for comment prior to the final draft. Most cities asked their
planners to critique the proposal . The county was receptive to these efforts
and inccrporated many suggested changes into the final draft.
The county will grow. Controlling and guiding that growth is the only way to
prevent urban sprawl . The difficulty becomes: private property rights vs
government responsibility to assure roads, fire/police protection, water and
sewers.
The major thrust is to encourage urbanization near already developed areas;
i .e. , th? incorporated cities, and to leave the county rural .
Dave Clenens has been Renton's spokesman and has been acknowledged by his
colleagues in the other cities as an authoritative source for critiquing the
Development Guide.
The Subu •ban Cities Association was prepared to endorse the document; however,
further consideration of implementation in areas such as urban service
standards and the role of the Boundary Review Board was determined to be
necessary. The Association reserves the right to withhold final approval
until thi? County Council revisions are incorporated.
A copy o = the Development Guide is available for any Councilmember who wishes
to review it.

RESOLUTION OF THE SUBURBAN MAYORS' ASSOCIATION
IN KING COUNY, WASHINGTON
ADDRESSING THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE TASK FORCE REPORT
ON GROWTH MANAGEMENT REFERRING TO THE
COUNTY'S PROPOSED GENERAL DEVELOPMENT GUIDE
WHEREAS, King County's proposed General Development Guide sets forth policies
concer ling development throughout King County, affecting incorporated and
unincoi porated areas alike; and
NHEREAS, the Executive Task Force Report on Growth Management provides a
compre hensive forum for analysis and comment on the General Development Guide. and
NHEREAS, King County cities have legitimate concerns about the location,
quality and amount of urban development occuring within and surrounding their cities, and
NHEREAS, the quality of urban services within unincorporated areas of King
County places a burden upon King County cities to provide services to non-resident
populat ions; and
NHEREAS, crucial regional and subregional issues of transportation, storm water,
solid w iste and the like, are currently unresolved or inadequately funded, and
NHEREAS, continued urban growth and development in unincorporated areas will
strain t he already scarce financial resources and continue to adversely affect the county's
financial health and the quality of crucial services to its cities, and
'NHEREAS, King County cities are better structured by State statutes than County
governlnent to efficiently and effectively provide services to urban populations; and
'NHEREAS, the General Development Guide and the Executive Task Force Report
places 3mphasis on the need for King County to address its role in protecting the county's
crucial rural and resource lands, and
'NHEREAS, the Executive Task Force Report recognizes the need to minimize the
current "competition" between King County and its cities on issues of urban growth and
develor ment, and
1VHEREAS, the Executive Task Force Report lacks clear guidance on annexation
policies and the critical role of the cities in providing urban services.
r
PAGE 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Suburban Mayors' Association of
Kinij County recommends the following policies for inclusion in the county's proposed
General Development Guide:
Economic Development
Policy:
King County and the cities should play a complementary role in the field of
economic growth and diversification and should equally coordinate their
efforts with other local and regional economic development groups.
II. Land Use - Growth Strategy
Policy:
King County should strive to define its role in the growth management
process by first recognizing the role of its cities as the primary and
preferred providers of urban service.
Policy:
Future urban development within King County should occur only within
cities and unincorporated areas which will logically be part of a defined
future city.
III. Facilities Coordination/Timing
Policy•
The urban area of King County should be divided into urban service areas
for each of the current King County cities and logically anticipated future
King County cities. County policy should support annexation to cities or
incorporation within the urban service areas.
Policy:
Within the urban service areas of King County's cities, no future special
purpose districts should be established, and existing special service
districts should not be expanded.
Policy:
Upon annexing an area, cities have a responsibility to consider the land use
plans and decisions made by King County for the area annexed. Similarly,
the County has a responsibility to assure that on-site and off-site
development standards (particularly for roads and drainage) are compatible
with nearby jurisdictions' standards. This mutual responsibility should be
established in agreements between each individual city and King County
for specific unincorporated areas on the fringe of a city.
PAGE 3
IV. Public Involvement
Policy:
King County should provide a structured forum to enable greater
participation of cities in preparation of the General Development Guide
and to enable an on-going dialogue concerning implementation of the Guide
and the provision of urban services throughout King County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Suburban Mayors' Association of King
Count y urges the adoption of these policies by the King County Executive, the King
County Council, and the city councils of each of the county cities.
