Background
The Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs) define the countywide vision for the
county and cities' plans. The policies were developed by the Growth Management
Planning Council, a group of 15 elected officials, representing all King County
citizens, adopted by the Metropolitan King County Council and ratified by the
cities in 1994.
Purpose
When the members of the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) approved the
policies, they expressed an interest in creating a system that would tell future
decision makers whether or not the policies are achieving their intended outcomes.
The 2000 Benchmark Report is the fifth annual account to monitor the CPPs.
The purpose of creating a benchmark system is to provide the GMPC, other policy
makers and the public with a method for evaluating jurisdictions' progress in
implementing the Countywide Planning Policies. The system for the Benchmark
Report was established by stating the desired outcomes of the CPPs; selecting
relevant Indicators for each outcome, and then identifying quantifiable levels
of achievement, or targets, for some of the Indicators.
Note: The 2000 Benchmark Report is presented in Adobe Acrobat Format. The Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 or greater is required to read this document. For more information, look here.
