Appendix F-3
GMA DECLARATION
Growth Management Act (RCW 3670A)

Pursuant to the requirements of Washington State Law (RCW 53.20.010), the Coupeville Port District has prepared this Comprehensive Plan 2007-2026.

This comprehensive plan is primarily an authorization vehicle and does not mandate or commit the Port District to pursue any of the actions or projects described herein.

It is the intent of this plan to maximize the options available to the Port District in three year increments over the next twenty years.

Included by reference as an adopted part of said comprehensive plan are all plans, specifications and environmental documents prepared in association with all past projects and actions of the Port District described in or referenced in this comprehensive plan.

The Port District is an economic development agency of the people of Central Whidbey Island subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of applicable federal, state, county and city agencies of government. Port Districts are not required to plan under the GMA. However, the planning process for the comprehensive plan was subject to and relied upon review by Island County government and the Town of Coupeville to ensure consistency with their planning efforts. The comprehensive plans and development regulations of each are GMA compliant documents.

The Port District, having reviewed the respective comprehensive plans of the Town of Coupeville and Island County, and having submitted its plans for review to said agencies, find that its comprehensive plan is consistent with those said jurisdictions and the guiding principles of the GMA.
