ADMINISTRATIVE CODE EDITS - 2022
The Kitsap County Community Development Department proposes to make administrative revisions to the Kitsap County Code. The purpose of this project is to make administrative edits and will not address substantive changes to the code.
The comment period is now open, and will close on December 7, 2022, at 4:30pm
Edits may involve the following areas of Kitsap County Code:
- Title 16 (subdivisions)
- Title 17 (zoning),
- Title 18 (environment),
- Title 19 (Critical Areas Ordinance)
- Title 21 (land use and development procedures)
Objectives of the 2022 Administrative Code Edits include:
- Eliminate or reduce conflicting provisions of code.
- Add clarity to existing sections of code without changing meaning or intent of language.
- Remove redundancy or regulation that is no longer applicable
- Create more predictability and certainty in development standards and the permit review process.
IMPORTANT DATES
- Public hearing with the Planning Commission is scheduled for December 5, 2022
- The comment period ends December 7, 2022
- The public hearing for adoption is currently scheduled for December 12, 2022
Additional notification will be sent out prior to public hearings, with information on how to attend or submit comments.
Upcoming dates and milestones can be viewed at the following webpage: Administrative Code Edits (kitsapgov.com)
A preliminary draft summary of changes is available for review.
Administrative Changes are planned to be adopted by the end of year 2022, however this process will be repeated annually to continually correct inconsistencies or unclear sections of code.
Please note that more substantial changes to code sections will be made through a separate process.
