VISION 2040
Regional Growth Center Goal:
The region will direct growth and development to a limited number of designated regional growth centers.
![Page 33: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Growth Centers
Existing approach:o Minimum 18 activity units per
acreo Planning for 45 activity units
per acreo 1.5 sq. mile maximumo Planning for a mix of uses
29 designated centers• 5 centers don’t meet current
minimum adopted density criteria
![Page 34: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Regional Growth Centers
Market Study and Peer Regions research
Factors correlated with growth:
• Transit and transportation access • Walkability • Location • Existing jobs and housing • Evidence of recent growth
![Page 35: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Regional Growth Centers
Common to both alternatives:
• Size: establish minimum size, smaller maximum size
• Transit measure that considers mode, quality of service, and planned future service
• Consideration of regional role
• Evidence of market potential
![Page 36: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Alternative A
Regional Growth Center – higher growth areas• Regional role (metro center or regional destination)• Existing/planned activity 30/80 activity units per acre• Existing or planned light rail, commuter rail, ferry, or other high-
capacity transit (<15-minute headways, 18-hours weekdays) • Market potential
Regional Growth Center • Regional or county role (county destination)• Existing/planned activity 18/45 activity units per acre• Existing or planned frequent & all day transit service • Market potential
Countywide Centers (minimum guidelines)• Transit, mixed use, compact, walkable (10 activity units per acre)
![Page 37: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Regional Growth Center – 3 tiers
• Centers with existing or planned transit service
• Minimum of local or express bus service, 10 au/acre
• Points based on menu of choices, including:
• Existing density • Planned density • Regional or county destination/role• Market potential• Actions supporting development
Countywide Centers (minimum guidelines)• Transit, mixed use, compact, walkable (10 au/ac)
![Page 38: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
RGC Discussion
Centers have different existing conditions. Should the criteria recognize some centers are very different in size and may be expected to grow more than others?
![Page 39: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
RGC Discussion
Existing centers. How should existing centers be considered for redesignation? Should standards or process be different than for new centers?
![Page 40: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
RGC Discussion
Centers have seen varying levels of growth. Should there be performance and growth expectations for existing centers?
![Page 41: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
RGC Discussion
The current criteria primarily focus on density and planning. Should the framework also include new criteria for:
• Level of transit service• Market potential• Regional role
![Page 42: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
RGC Discussion
Alternative B provides a menu of optional criteria.Are there some criteria that should be required of all regional growth centers? Are there some that should be flexible?
![Page 43: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Framework Proposal
Discussions at May meeting
Options:• Direct staff to assemble revised or hybrid option based
on discussionor
• Move ahead with regional growth center option for study• Staff will evaluate implications as part of overall package

Countywide Centers
![Page 45: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Countywide Centers
MPP-DP-12: Establish a common framework among the countywide processes for designating subregional centers to ensure compatibility within the region.
DP-Action-5: PSRC, together with its member jurisdictions and countywide planning bodies, will develop a common framework for identifying various types of central places beyond regional centers.
![Page 46: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Countywide Centers
• Proposed process:• PSRC would establish consistent minimum
guidelines
• Countywide groups would finalize criteria and process, tailored to each county
• Countywide MIC designation in Alternative A
• Recommend countywide centers a priority for countywide investment, consistent with VISION 2040 + existing funding policy
![Page 47: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Current Approach
King Countyo 17 countywide centers (same as regional centers)
Kitsap Countyo 24 countywide centers through CPPs (not including RGCs)
Pierce County o Adopted process and criteria but no centers designatedo Centers of Local Importance designated
Snohomish Countyo No process to identify countywide centers
![Page 48: Regional Centers Framework UpdateGuiding Principles • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2040 • Focus growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy • Recognize](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071110/5fe5b0dea66eda07467dfe1d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Countywide Centers
Center is a local planning and investment priority
Land use:• Minimum density of 10 activity units/acre• Mixed-use zoning (including residential) • Capacity for growth
Multi-modal transportation: • Transit service, nonmotorized infrastructure & walkable
street pattern
Walkable size (between ¼ and ½ square mile)
