Requirements of the State's Growth Management Act


The Capital Facilities Program and the Capital Facilities Element, jointly, fulfill the requirements of the State of Washington’s Growth Management Act (GMA) that the comprehensive plan of each jurisdiction planning under the Act shall include a capital facilities plan element consisting of:

  • An inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities, showing the locations and capacities of the capital facilities.
  • A forecast of the future needs for such capital facilities.
  • The proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities; 
  • At least a six-year plan that will finance such capital facilities within projected funding capacities and clearly identifies sources of public money for such purposes.
  • A requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls short of meeting existing needs and to ensure that the land use element, capital facilities plan element, and financing plan within the capital facilities plan element are coordinated and consistent. (RCW 36.70A.070)

The Capital Facilities Program and the Capital Facilities Element are also intended to achieve, primarily, the following planning goal of the GMA:
Ensure that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current service levels below locally established minimum standards. (RCW 36.70A.020)
