BILL · 1997–98 SESSION · LATEST VERSION ESHB 1576

HB 1576: Buildable lands

Modifying buildable lands under growth management.

Summary

  • The Legislature finds that land use planning needs to ensure that an adequate supply of land appropriate for development is actually available for development. Merely regulating land to allow for development is insufficient.
