Growth Management Act (GMA)
The GMA, originally adopted in 1990, required Whatcom County to adopt a comprehensive plan addressing:
Urban Growth Areas Agriculture, Forestry and Mineral Resource Lands Rural lands.
The GMA requires a comp plan update and Urban Growth Area review by June 30, 2016.
The GMA addresses the interface between water supply and land use planning.

Growth Management Hearings Board
“. . .the County’s Coordinated Water System Plan Update is admitted. The Board finds this exhibit assists the Board in understanding the full scope of the water issues and the information will be necessary or of substantial assistance to the Board in reaching its decision. . . (Hirst v. Whatcom County, Growth Mgmt. Hearings Bd., Western Washington Region Case No. 12-2-0013, Final Decision and Order (June 7, 2013), p. 8.

GMA Implications
The GMA requires integration of land use and water planning.
The County Comp Plan encourages coordination of land use and water planning.
The Growth Management Hearings Board ruled the County’s land use plan must not be inconsistent with water availability.
The WUCC provides a forum, and the CWSP provides a vehicle, to ensure coordination.
