Central Kitsap meeting March 6 focuses on regulating development around natural places and sewer utilities
Join the Central Kitsap Community Council from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 6 at the Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue Headquarters Station, 5300 NW Newberry Hill Road, Silverdale. Everyone is welcome and there are opportunities for public comment. The agenda is available at kcowa.us/CKCC.
Carla Lundgren of the Kitsap County Department of Community Development will review the process of the Critical Areas Ordinance update of regulations required by the state's Growth Management Act to preserve the natural environment, wildlife habitats, and sources of fresh drinking water. Critical areas regulation ensures public safety by limiting development in areas prone to natural hazards like floods and landslides. The Critical Areas Ordinance is being updated concurrent to Kitsap County's 2024 Comprehensive Plan, with adoption planned for June 2024.
The CKCC meeting also features a review of sewer utility upgrades and projects with Stella Vakarcs, Sewer Utility Division Manager of Kitsap County Public Works.
Stay informed and engaged! The public is encouraged to attend CKCC meetings, share information about community events and initiatives, and help make Central Kitsap a better place to live, work and visit.
