"Design Review" is also removed from the list of reasons for a public meeting under the definition of "public meeting" in RCW 36.70B.020.
We may have some concerns regarding the term "housing development permit" as that typically refers to a subdivision application. "Housing construction permit" may be a better term. |

1. A work plan designed to result in habitat improvement, approved by WDFW, after submission to newly created salmon recovery technical panel for review and recommendation. Two county government representatives nominated by WSAC are included on the technical panel.
The work plan must include benchmarks and monitoring. It also requires a 5-year check in to see if the benchmarks are reached. If not, the plan must be altered and then re-approved. If the county does not propose a satisfactory modification to the plan or is otherwise unable to meet the plans benchmarks, the county is required to take actions to protect salmon habitat that is satisfactory to WDFW. Counties and state agencies are required to receive adequate funding for the program and there is a requirement for ongoing review of that funding. However, there doesn't appear to be any funding guaranteed or established in the bill.

Identify issues to be considered in the development of a service agreement template outlining terms and conditions for reimbursement to government entities for services delivered. And more.
The statewide needs assessment must also evaluate the extent to which covered products contribute to litter and marine debris for the purpose of informing how a PRO can support litter and marine debris prevention and to identify strategies for improving prevention and cleanup of litter and marine debris from covered products.
When developing its plan, a PRO must develop and maintain a public website. It also must conduct a consultation process to directly and actively involve stakeholders in the development of key plan elements. The PRO must also solicit and respond to input and recommendations from the advisory council. The consultation process must include, at a minimum:
1. quarterly meetings open to the public with the advisory council.

PROs must fully fund all activities required by their plans and the overall program. Non-reimbursable point-of-sale fees may not be charged to consumers to recoup the costs. PROs must develop a system to collect fees from participating producers. The fee system must use eco-modulation factors to incentive the use of packaging design that reduces the environmental impacts of covered products.
In every jurisdiction where covered products are sold or supplied, a PRO must fund activities to make convenient collection services available. Curbside collection must be provided to residents in single and multi-family residences wherever curbside garbage collection services are provided (except for covered products designated for alternate collection). In jurisdictions without curbside, and in all areas for covered products designated for alternative collection, free and equitable access to permanent collection facilities must be provided that are located, at a minimum, at:

PROs must reimburse counties for services delivered to implement the plan if a county opts to participate. Covered costs include an administrative, public education, collection, transportation, and sorting or processing costs incurred in delivering curbside collection services. Reimbursement for any services other than curbside collection services may be calculated using reimbursement rates established for noncurbside collection services in the PRO plan.
Service provider agreements between PROs and government entities are limited in scope to authorizing the reimbursement of costs according to the reimbursement rates and any other services included in the PRO plan and carried out by the government entity. A PRO may not make a government entity's reimbursement under this bill contingent upon the performance of activities or the fulfillment of terms or conditions that are not specified as a duty of government entities under the law or required under an approved plan
PROs must fund and support infrastructure investments to achieve the convenience standards, management standards, and performance rates required by this act. This includes investments to address infrastructure gaps, enable the reuse or recycling of covered products and market development.
Each PRO plan must also include education and outreach activities to support the achievement of the performance rates set in the plan. These activities must be coordinated with government entities that choose to participate in carrying out the resident outreach and education.
An advisory council is established. It includes four members of local government, including urban and rural communities. The council duties are to:
1. Advise and make recommendations to Ecology on the scope of the statewide needs assessment.
2. Review and comment on the draft performance rate study and on a draft statewide needs assessment.
3. Advise and make recommendations to PROs and DROs during stakeholder consultation on plans.
4. Review and comment on all new and updated plans submitted to Ecology by PROs and DROs.
5. Advise and make recommendations to PROs and DROs on annual reports.
6. Provide input, review, and comment on rulemaking.
Truth in labeling requirements are also included in the bill. Beginning 1/1/2027, producers may not sell in WA any covered product that makes a deceptive or misleading claim about its recyclability. Covered products with a chasing arrows symbol or any other symbol or statement indicating it is recyclable is deemed deceptive unless it is designated for collection in a PRO plan.
PROs may petition Ecology to exclude certain packaging and paper products like packaging used to contain a product that is regulated as a drug, medical device, or dietary supplement, or a product that is regulated as animal biologics.
New postconsumer content requirements are also included in the bill. Included products are 187 milliliter plastic beverage containers and dairy milk in plastic beverage containers, household cleaning products or personal care products, plastic tubs used for food products, single-use plastic cups, thermoform plastic containers, producers of cannabis products contained in or packaged in plastic containers or packaging. Producers who don't meet the postconsumer content requirements must pay penalties. Counties are prohibited from adopting local postconsumer content requirements. These requirements are similar to and replace existing law. Other postconsumer content requirements in existing law are amended for items like trash bags. Pesticide containers are also added to the requirements for postconsumer content as well as plastic plant pots or trays. Roll carts are also included in the postconsumer content requirements and must utilize at least 25% postconsumer recycled content beginning 1/1/2024.
Part three of the bill authorizes the creation of a beverage container deposit program in WA. This program can serve as an alternative for qualifying beverage containers. If utilized, a PRO is not required to consider qualifying beverage containers a covered product in their plan. For PROs to be relieved from including qualifying beverage containers, a DRO must establish and operate a deposit return system in WA for qualifying beverage containers. Qualifying beverage containers are any individual, separate, sealed glass, metal, or plastic bottle or can, except for a carton, foil pouch, drink box, or metal container that requires a tool to be opened, that contain any beverage intended for human consumption in a quantity less than or equal to two and one-half gallons. This does not include dairy milk, infant formula, or beverages excluded by Ecology rulemaking.
If a DRO notifies Ecology of its intent to operate a deposit return program, each distributor that offers for sale, sells, or distributes in or into WA qualifying beverage containers must either join a DRO must independently fulfill the duties of a DRO. DROs must pay the full costs of managing the program, including Ecology's costs, 1/2 of the costs of the advisory council, and 1/2 of the costs for a new or updated performance rates study.
A DRO must submit a plan to Ecology that meets the requirements of a deposit return system. In the plan, each qualifying beverage container must have a refund value of 10 cents. The refund value must be clearly marked on the container.
Ecology is required to create and administer a curbside revenue augmentation fund, which must, for the first 5 years in which a distributor responsibility organization operates a deposit return system in the state:
1. collect funds from a DRO.
2. Accept requests annually for 4 years from local governments or operators of curbside recycling programs to receive funds from the fund to offset revenue losses from the previous year. Revenue loss must be offset by decreased operating costs. Ecology must review the requests and determine eligibility and distribute funding accordingly and based on available revenue in the fund
Each DRO plan must achieve the following minimum performance requirements:
1. by 2028, 60% recovery
2. by 2031, 80% recovery
3. by 2028, at least 5% of all qualifying beverage containers are reusable
4. by 2030, at least 10% of all qualifying beverage containers are reusable
5. by 2035, at least 25% of all qualifying beverage containers are reusable.
The DRO must submit a deposit return system plan to Ecology for approval. The plan must:
1. impose a refund value for all qualifying beverage containers
2. identify methods for collecting containers from consumers and paying the refunds
3. Include a process for accepting direct, sorted returns for an additional refund value premium if containers are returned by a nonprofit
4. List the governing board members
5. list the qualifying beverage containers and their brands participating in the plan
6. Describe how the DRO will use and interact with recycling programs and infrastructure in place
7. Education and outreach activities.
8. Activities to minimize the amount and cost of residual nonrecyclable materials from collection
9. Activities to develop or support responsible end markets
10. How plan implementation will maintain responsible management practices
11. A stakeholder consultation report
12. How the DRO will coordinate PROs and other DROs
13. The contingency plan
14. Anything else required by Ecology.
Initial plans can only be for 3 years. Updated plans are for 5 years.
DROs must provide and pay the costs for a convenient bulk drop-off option for bagged qualifying beverage containers at geographically dispersed locations. The locations must be convenient to where qualifying beverage containers are sold. DROs may not charge for drop-off service and must credit the cost of any required bag purchase. If required drop-off bags are made of plastic film, they must have at least 50% recycled content. At least 270 bag drop off site around WA are required, distributed by county in proportion to the volume of qualifying beverage containers sold in the county.
MRFs and other processing facilities handling qualifying beverage containers are required to prioritize agreements with and on behalf of distributors or DROs regarding long-term contracts and other purchase agreements based on fair market pricing for commodities of comparable quality.
DROs are required to pay the full refund value to government entities are MRFs for any qualifying beverages collected and separated in accordance with the standards established by the DRO as approved by Ecology. Service provider agreements between the DROs and counties are limited in scope to authorizing the reimbursement of costs and any other services included in DRO plan carried out by the county.
DROs are required to conduct a consultation process involving stakeholders when developing the plan. This includes similar requirements to those for PROs, including consultation on reimbursement rates for services other than curbside collection to be carried out by counties and the service agreement templates.
Education and outreach requirements must also be included in the plans. Like with the PROs, counties can choose to participate in carrying out resident outreach and education activities along with the DRO.
A feasibility study is required by 12/1/2025 to identify options to improve the convenience experienced by consumers with unwanted products or packaging covered by the state product stewardship, epr, and similar takeback programs, by harmonizing or establishing a system of common or centralized takeback centers or depots for consumers.
Ecology and Revenue must also study the impacts of how the new epr and bottle deposit and return program impact litter rates, and possible improvements to the structure of the litter tax.
Comprehensive solid waste management plan requirements are amended to require that CSWMPs updated or amended after 7/1/27 reference the plans of PROs established in the jurisdiction and any plans of DROs. |

Creates a product stewardship program for certain types of appliances. Appliances covered by the stewardship program include refrigerators, freezers, wine cellars and coolers, water dispensers, heat pumps, portable or window air conditioners, dumidifiers, dishwashers, ranges, ovens, washing machines, dryers, etc., intended for residential or commercial use, do not exceed 1,000 pounds, and don't form an integral part of a structure to ensure its usefulness, mobile air conditioning used in transportation, and other appliances identified as infeasible by Ecology.
Beginning 1/1/2024 each producer selling covered appliances in or into WA state must register with Ecology through an appliance stewardship organization. Starting 1/1/2027, each producer must participate in an approved appliance stewardship plan. Ecology must approve the stewardship plans based on several requirements. Plans must be updated at least every 5 years.
Stewardship organizations are required to achieve the following recovery rates: 75% in 2027, 80% in 2028, 85% in 2029, 90% in 2030 and beyond for refrigerating and freezing appliances designed for residential use. Rates for commercial refrigerating and freezing appliances are 35% in 2027, increasing by 5% per year until reaching 80%. Rates for A/Cs, heat pumps, and dehumidifiers are 30% in 2027, increasing by 5% per year until reaching 70%. Rates for ranges, build in ovens, built in cooking surfaces, dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers, both residential and commercial, are 70% in 2028, increasing by 5% per reach until reaching 90%.
The stewardship organizations must provide for the collection of covered appliances from any person, business, government agency, or nonprofit organization. A fee may not be charged and a financial incentive must be paid. There must be at least one collection site in each county. Door-to-door collection must also be provided. Retailers may voluntarily choose to be collection sites. Local governments may also serve as collection sites.
Each appliance stewardship organization is required to carry out promotional activities in support of plan implementation including a website, press releases and articles, advertising, and promotional materials, and surveys of public awareness during the first year of the program.
The stewardship organizations must collect fees from producers to fund the plans. Eco-modulated fees must be implemented to encourage more environmentally friendly appliances.
Local government costs for participating (if they choose to) must be fully covered, including labor and other costs associated with safety, accessibility, and collection site standards such as storage. Any service agreement template must be developed with local government input.
Retailers are prohibited from selling appliances beginning 7/1/2027 unless the producer of the covered appliance participates in an appliance stewardship organization. Retailers must provide information on end-of-life management to customers. A point-of-sale fee may not be charged by retailers for the stewardship organization or the program.
Ecology is provided rulemaking authority to implement the bill. Ecology is also provided civil penalty imposition authority for violations.
All persons, business, residents, government, commercial, industrial, retail, and office facilities are required to dispose of unwanted covered appliances through approved collection methods established by the program. Landfilling and other disposal methods are prohibited.
Any penalties imposed and paid under this program must go the the climate commitment account. |

Amends the GMA to create a grant program for financial assistance to cities and counties for the adoption of preapproved middle housing plans. A "preapproved middle housing plan" is a selection of middle housing architectural plans that have been reviewed by the county and approved for compliance with applicable building codes.
The state building code council is directed to convene a work group to make recommendations on how to apply the IRC to multiplex housing and exempt it from the IBC. "Multiplex housing" means a building with up to 6 dwelling units in a single structure, up to 3 stories.
Government actions related to residential development proposed to fill in a UGA categorically exempt from SEPA when they are located within 1/4 mile of a community core location. Community core is related to proximity to transit, schools, and public parks.
Counties planning under the GMA are required to adopt regulations, etc. to allow the requirements of this bill. Counties are prohibited from requiring anything more restrictive for multiplex housing than for SFR in residential zones, except when necessary for fire and life safety. Setback requirements for construction are not allowed within 1/4 mile of a community core location. |

Governor request legislation establishing a grant program for riparian restoration and authorizing continued discussions about statewide riparian regulation standards.
The WCC is required to establish and administer a riparian grant program for the protection and restoration of riparian management zone to achieve, wherever possible, fully functioning riparian ecosystems in critical riparian management zones. The standards must be adopted for the program after coordination with Ecology, WDFW, conservation districts, tribes, and other stakeholders. The standards must also consider the WDFW PHS for Riparian Ecosystems Vols. 1 and 2 as the best available science.
Conditions for awarding funding under program should include:
1. Adherence to the science-based standards established in the bill,
2. Alternative plans subject to approval,
3. Tiered incentive rates tied to increasing width and functionality that approach science-based standards for fully functioning riparian ecosystems,
4. Allowable expenses including, but not limited to, labor, equipment, fencing, mulch, seed, seedling trees, manual weed control, and yearly maintenance costs for up to 10 years,
5. Native woody trees and shrubs that must be maintained for a minimum 5 years and vegetation must be chosen to prevent invasive weeds and ensure survival,
6. Other requirements determined by the WCC.
The WCC must develop and adopt a program monitoring and adaptive management framework to ensure consistency and compliance with the program's requirements.
A salmon riparian habitat policy task force is established in the Governor's salmon recovery office. The task force must continue the work of the facilitated roundtables and discussions. Local governments are included on the task force. The task force must report to the Governor and relevant committee by 6/30/2024 with:
1. recommendations addressing developing and implementing a compensatory, mitigation, or regulation program for critical riparian habitat restoration.
2. recommendations on proposed changes in policy and spending priorities to improve riparian habitat to ensure salmon recovery.
3. recommendations for changes to state law for the protection of existing, functioning riparian habitat.
4. strategies that can attract private investment in improving and protecting salmon and riparian habitat.
5. recommendations for potential modification to the SMA and GMA to incorporate WDFW PHS for Riparian Ecosystems Vols. 1 and 2 into either local CAOs or SMPs.
6. Other relevant topics designated by the task force.
An interagency riparian committee is created within the Governor's Salmon Recovery Office. The committee is responsible for interagency coordination on riparian protection and restoration. The interagency committee is made up of state agencies and is instructed to engage with tribes, nonprofit, and business organizations. Counties should also be included in the required coordination.

Amends the GMA to require that the housing element of comprehensive plans include consideration and utilization, rather than consideration of the role, of ADUs in meeting housing needs, in compliance with 36.70A.698, that is also amended in the bill.
The definition of an attached ADU in 36.70A.696 is amended to include "an attached ADU must have a substantial portion of its footprint within the other housing unit, and must share structural elements with the other unit." The definition of "owner" is stricken.
36.70A.697 is amended to include counties in the requirement to adopt or amend into development regulation and zoning regulations, etc., the requirements of 36.70A.98 during the next required comp plan update cycle.
36.70.698 is amended to include counties and to preempt local authority for prohibiting the construction of ADUs on residentially zoned lots within UGAs. New requirements are also added that limit local authority for regulating ADUs. Counties and cities may not:
1. impose a limit on ADUs of fewer than one attached and one detached on a residential lot of more the 4500 sq. ft. unless the lot is zone to allow: (a) at least 2 dwelling units (in which at least one ADU must be allowed) or (b) at least three dwelling units.
2. Impose a limit on ADUs of fewer than one attached or detached on a residential lot of less than 4500 sq. ft. unless the lot is otherwise zone to allow at least 2 dwelling units.
3. Impose any prohibition of the sale or other conveyance of a condominium unit independently of a principal unit that is based solely on the grounds that the condo unit was originally build as an ADU, provide the condo unit is served by utilities independently.
4. Impose any owner occupancy requirements on any housing or dwelling unit on a lot containing an ADU unless the ADU is a short term rental, or the city or county waives or reduced impact fees and costs associated with ADU construction if the units are offered at or below 80% AMI.
5. Require off-street parking for the ADU if near a major transit stop.
6. Apply other regulations to ADU that are more restrictive than applied to SFR or other residential developments.
A list of allowed regulations is also included for ADUs by local governments. They are:
1. Generally applicable development regulations.
2. Public health, safety, building code, and environmental permitting.
3. Prohibition on the construction of ADUs on lot not connected to or served by public sewers.
4. A prohibition or restriction on the construction of ADUs in residential zones with a density of one dwelling unit per acre or less that are within areas designated as critical areas.
Counties are authorized to adopt local regulations waiving or deferring fees, deferring the payment of taxes, or waiving specific regulations if the ADU is subject to binding commitments that it will not be regularly offered for short-term rental. |

Modifies SEPA (RCW 43.21C) by adding "and housing" along with infill in the first sentence of 43.21C.229. A subsection 2 is also added and the statement that "an exemption adopted under this section applies even if it differs from the categorical exemptions adopted by rule of the department under RCW 43.21C.110(1)(a) is stricken. A new subsection 3 is added that creates a new mandatory categorical SEPA exemption for all project actions that propose to develop one or more residential housing units with the UGA if it meets the following criteria:
1. The proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
2. It would not exceed density or use intensity limits called for in the goals and policies of the comp plan.
3. The comp plan was subjected to an EIS under SEPA previously, or the city or county prepared and EIS that considered the proposed use or density and intensity of use the area proposed for exemption.

The GMA is amended to all counties to designate UGA outside of a city regardless of whether such territory is already characterized by urban growth. Current law requires that any area designated as a UGA outside of a city be characterized by urban growth.
A new section is added to 36.70A.110 that allows expansion of the UGA if there are areas in flood plains or that remain undeveloped or underdeveloped after 20 years to include more buildable land to satisfy projected need. Any decision to do so is not subject to appeal by the GMBHM. |

The definition of rural character in the GMA is amended to strike the word "traditional" in 36.70A.030(23)(b), strike all of (c) that provide visual landscapes that are traditionally found in rural areas and communities, and all of (f) that generally do not require the extension of urban governmental services.
The definition of "rural governmental services" in (25) is amended to remove that they don't include storm or sanitary sewers.
36.70A.070 is amended to remove the requirement that the comprehensive plan "shall be an internally consistent document and all elements shall be consistent with the future land use map."
The rural element 36.70A.070(5)(c)(i) is amended to remove the word "containing" so that the measure governing rural development only need to control rural development.
36.70A.070(5)(d)(i)(C) dealing with LAMIRDs is also amended to state that development or redevelopment in terms of building size, scale, use, or intensity "shall be consistent with the needs of the people in those communities, including access to domestic water, storm, and sanitary sewer systems that are feasible and affordable for the location. Further changes to type III LAMIRDs states that public facilities shall be limited to moderate, rather than not permit, low-density sprawl.
Findings of noncompliance may not be based on the provision of water, sewer, or stormwater facilities extended outside of the city's boundaries, even when they are inconsistent with the comp plan and state funding cannot be restricted or reduced. |

DNR is authorized to created and manage a trust land transfer program. DNR is required to prioritize the acquisition of working farms and forests when acquiring replacement trust lands when it can be demonstrated that the trust fiduciary responsibilities can be better fulfilled with these lands.
DNR is required to administer the TLT program as follows:
1. virtually anyone may nominate a parcel of state land or state forestland for the TLT program.
2. DNR is required to perform an initial review to determine whether the transfer of a nominated parcel is in the best interest of the trust and whether a public agency is willing to take ownership and is capable of managing it for the public benefit.
3. If DNR finds the transfer is in the best interest of the trust and there is a public agency willing to take ownership, it shall consult with potentially affected tribes to identify and address cultural resource issues.
4. After initial review and tribal consultation, DNR may submit parcels to an advisory committee to evaluate and prioritize nominated parcels.
5. DNR, with approval of the Board, shall determine the final, prioritized list of TLT parcels to submit to the legislature for funding. If a legislative appropriation includes a TLT parcel and the board determines the transfer is in the best interest of the trust, DNR shall complete the transfer.
Various other changes are made to state statutes to enable DNR to operate the program as described.
Amendments are made to RCW 79.22.060 to allow DNR to retain all proceeds from real property transferred or disposed of to buy replacement forestland for the benefit of the county from which the property was originally. The legislative authority is also authorized to request in writing that DNR distribute a percentage of the proceeds associated with valuable materials.

This bill pertains mostly to cities and establishes incentives and requirements for residential development near public transit assets.
The GMA is amended, however, in a manner that will impact some counties. Under the bill, counties are prohibited from requiring off-street parking as a condition of development within a station area, except for disabled parking.
A "station area" is defined as all parcels UGA and within 3/4 of a mile of a major transit stop. Parcels that do not have pedestrian access to the station area are exempt. A project not providing parking within a station area cannot be given a SEPA determination of significance resulting from the lack of parking provision.
A new categorical exemption is created in SEPA for projects that meet the following:
It is related to a proposed development that would fill in a
station hub or station area as defined in RCW 36.70A.030;
(b) It is related to a proposed:
(i) Multifamily residential development;
(ii) Mixed-use development; or
(iii) Commercial development; and
(c) It is not inconsistent with the applicable comprehensive
plan, and does not clearly exceed the density or intensity of use
called for in the goals and policies of the applicable comprehensive
plan.

Amends 36.70B.020 to remove "building permit" from subsection (4), the definition of project permits. It also specifies the project permits or applications are not that that require a comp plan amendment.
36.70B.070 is amended to state that an application must be deemed complete if it meets the procedural submission requirements of the local government. It also specified that the number of days the local government has to make a determination of application completeness shall be calculated by counting 5 days per week, excluding holidays. Subsection (2) is also modified to specify that the need for additional information or studies for a project does not preclude a determination of completeness if the procedural submission requirements have been met.
36.70B.080 is amended to change the timelines for local governments to issues decisions for project permits and applications. Local governments are granted the right to exclude certain project permits from the deadlines. Here are the new deadlines:
1. 45 days for permits which do not require public notice.
2. 70 days for permits that do require public notice.
3. 120 days for permits that require public notice and public hearing.
Local governments may modify the list by adding permit types not identified, changing the time frames for any or each, changing the permit names or types, addressing how consolidated review time frames may be different than permits submitted individually, and providing for how projects of a certain size or type may be differentiated.
The number of days in review is calculated by counting 5 days per week, excluding holidays. The clock stops when the county notifies the applicant in writing that more information is required for processing. It starts again when the responsive information is submitted. The clock also stops if the applicant informs that county in writing they would like to temporarily suspend review, until the time they submit in writing they would like to resume review. The clock also stops during administrative appeals.
Penalties are included for noncompliance by local governments. A 10% discount on fees must be provided to the applicant for exceedance of the time allowed by up to 20%. If the timeframe exceeds 20% the discount must be 20%.
Counties can avoid penalty requirements by choosing 3 of the following options:
1. imposing cost recovery based fees.
2. entering into an interlocal with another jurisdiction to share permitting staff and resources.
3. maintaining and budgeting on-call permitting assistance for high permit volumes for staffing level impacts.
4. budgeting for new positions contingent on increased permit revenue.
5. requiring public hearings for only the application that are required to do so by statute.
6. make preapplication meetings optional rather than mandatory.
7. make housing types an outright permitted use in all zones where the housing type is permitted.
8. all outside professional with appropriate licenses to certify components of applications consistent with their license.
9. meeting with the applicant to attempt to resolve outstanding issues during the review process. The meeting must be scheduled within 14 days of a 2nd request for corrections.
After 1/1/26, if you've adopted at least 3 measures to avoid penalties but you are still not meeting the permitting deadlines at least half the time.
Commerce is required to develop guidance and provide technical assistance to help local governments adopt full cost-recovery fee structures. |

Local governments planning under the GMA with a population of 20K or more are required to adopt or amend ordinances or resolutions to comply with the requirements of the bill by 3/1/2024. All others by 3/1/2025.
Permitting requirements are amended to require that local governments must make a determination of completeness for residential use permit applications within 14 days rather than the current 28. If a local government notifies an applicant that additional information is required, they must notify the applicant within 7 days with a determination of completeness after the information requested is received.
Residential permit review timeframes are also amended as follows:
1. 120 days for five or fewer dwelling units.
2. 180 days for 6 to 101 dwelling units.
3. 270 days for more than 102 dwelling units.
If permit review timeframes are exceeded, they shall be deemed approved if:
1. the permit is for more than five dwelling units and at least 20% are affordable to low-income households; or

4. Specifies that the court is not required to consider partisanship as an explanation for polarized voting exists.

There are also changes to the land use element, the capital facilities element, and the transportation element.
13 counties are required to included strategies to reduce GHGs and VMTs in compliance with the GHG emission reduction subelement including Benton, Clark, Franklin, Grant, King, Kitsap, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, Spokane, Thurston, Whatcom, and Yakima. These same counties are also required to meet the new requirements in the transportation element.
Counties over 20,000 that plan under the GMA must meet the new requirements in the land use element and rural element (although there are no changes to the rural element in the bill?).
All counties planning under the GMA are required to meet the requirements in the resiliency subelement.
Actions to to comply with the bill are not subject to SEPA appeal. A funding contingency requirement is included. |

This bill implements the recommendations from the TLT Workgroup.
Implementing recommendations from the TLT working group. this is a slightly different version of the other bill with a different title.
DNR is authorized to created and manage a trust land transfer program. DNR is required to prioritize the acquisition of working farms and forests when acquiring replacement trust lands when it can be demonstrated that the trust fiduciary responsibilities can be better fulfilled with these lands.
DNR is required to administer the TLT program as follows:
1. virtually anyone may nominate a parcel of state land or state forestland for the TLT program.
2. DNR is required to perform an initial review to determine whether the transfer of a nominated parcel is in the best interest of the trust and whether a public agency is willing to take ownership and is capable of managing it for the public benefit.
3. If DNR finds the transfer is in the best interest of the trust and there is a public agency willing to take ownership, it shall consult with potentially affected tribes to identify and address cultural resource issues.
4. After initial review and tribal consultation, DNR may submit parcels to an advisory committee to evaluate and prioritize nominated parcels.
5. DNR, with approval of the Board, shall determine the final, prioritized list of TLT parcels to submit to the legislature for funding. If a legislative appropriation includes a TLT parcel and the board determines the transfer is in the best interest of the trust, DNR shall complete the transfer.
Various other changes are made to state statutes to enable DNR to operate the program as described.
Amendments are made to RCW 79.22.060 to allow DNR to retain all proceeds from real property transferred or disposed of to buy replacement forestland for the benefit of the county from which the property was originally. The legislative authority is also authorized to request in writing that DNR distribute a percentage of the proceeds associated with valuable materials. DNR is obligated to distribute the requested percentage if the Board approves.
RCW 79.19.020 is amended to remove the limit of 1,500 acres being held in the land bank at one time.
Changes are made to the state forestland pool authorized in RCW 79.22.140. The limit of 10,000 acres being contained in the pool is removed. The population requirement of under 25,000 to be eligible to participate in the pool is also removed. A section (6) is added stipulating that replacement forestlands may be acquired in counties proximate to the county or counties that will benefit from the replacements if the proximate county is willing to enter into a proximate county agreement as described in WSAC's policy. Proximate counties will receive PILT from encumbered lands being placed into conservation status in the counties that will benefit from the replacement lands and proximate counties are prohibited from objecting harvest activity or other revenue-producing activity on the replacement lands. If a proximate county terminates the agreement, that county is liable for the total value of the replacement state forestlands to the county or counties to which the benefits from the state forestlands are directed. |

The Interagency Clean Energy Siting Coordinating Council is created, consisting of various state agencies with key roles in siting clean energy projects. The responsibilities of the council include:
1. identifying actions to improve siting and permitting of projects.
2. Tracking federal government efforts for improvements.
3. Conducting outreach to parties with interests in clean energy siting and permitting.
4. Establishing work groups as need to focus on specific energy types.
5. Creation of an industry clean energy siting advisory committee and any others deemed necessary.
6. Updating the Governor's Office of Indian Affairs.
The Council shall also advise Commerce in contracting with a 3rd party to evaluate the state agency siting and permitting processes and related federal and state regulatory requirements, identify models successfully used in other states for similar project, and develop recommendation for improving processes.
The Council must also pursue the development of a consolidated clean energy application similar to a JARPA for, at a minimum, state permits need for clean energy projects. They must also explore development of a consolidated permit for clean energy projects.
The second part of the bill establishes a process for applicants to apply to Commerce for designation as a clean energy project of statewide significance and identifies regulatory assistance available to projects so designated. Commerce is designated as the lead state agency for implementing a fully coordinated clean energy permitting process available to designated clean energy projects of statewide significance that do not apply to EFSEC. Ecology is required to assist project proponent with coordination of state and local regulatory procedures, including environmental review and permitting.
The application for designation of clean energy projects of statewide significance must include:
1. information regarding project location
2. information sufficient to demonstrate the project qualifies as a clean energy project
3. an explanation of how the project contributes to the state's achievement of the GHG emission limits and is consistent with the state energy strategy
4. an explanation of how the project is expected to contribute to the state economic development goals, including employment
5. A plan for meaningful engagement with tribes
6. A description of potential community benefits and impacts, a plan for meaningful engagement with the community in the project development, and an explanation of how the applicant might use a community benefit agreement or other legal document that stipulates the benefits the developer agrees to fund or furnish in exchange for community support of the project, and
7. Other information required by Commerce.
Commerce must review and approve (if they meet the right criteria) applications for designation as a clean energy project of statewide significance. Commerce must assign a clean energy navigator to each designated project whose responsibilities include:
1. assisting with the initial assessment and, if the project proponent opts to use the fully coordinated permitting process, assist them.
2. Convening select partners from state and local governments, private entities, nongovernmental organizations, and others to support successful project completion.
3. Working with team members to expedite their action in furtherance of the project.
Ecology is required to:
1. Act as the central point of contact for the project proponent for the coordinated permitting process for designated projects that do not apply to EFSEC and communicate with the project proponent about defined issues in coordination with clean energy navigators at Commerce.
2. Conduct an initial project assessment for coordination purposes.
3. Ensure the applicant has been informed of all the information needed to apply for the state and local permits that are included in the coordinated permitting process.
4. Facilitate communication between project proponents and agency staff.
5. Verify completion among participating agencies of administrative review and permit procedures.
6. Assist in resolving conflicts or inconsistencies.
7. Consult with potentially impacted tribes.
8. Engage with potentially affected overburdened communities.
9. Manage a fully coordinated permitting process.
10. Coordinate with local jurisdictions to fulfill permitting requirements.
Once a project is designated by Commerce as a clean energy project of statewide significance, Ecology must do an initial assessment to determine the level of coordination needed within 60 days of Commerce's decision.
An applicant of a designated clean energy project of statewide significance may submit a request to Ecology for participation in a fully coordinated permitting process. Designation as a fully coordinate project requires that:
1. The proponent enters into a cost reimbursement agreement.
2. The project is designated by Commerce as a clean energy project of statewide significance.
3. Ecology determines the project raises complex coordination, permit processing, or substantive permit review issues.
For a fully coordinated permitting process, Ecology must serve as the main point of contact for the applicant and participating agencies. In carrying out its duties, Ecology must:
1. conduct the duties for the coordinated permitting.
2. reach out to tribal or federal jurisdictions responsible for issuing a permit for the project and invite them to participate or to receive periodic updates and reach out to local jurisdictions responsible for issuing permits and inform them of their obligations under this act.
Within 30 days of designation by Ecology of a project accepted for the fully coordinated permitting process, Ecology shall convene a work plan meeting with the applicant and the participating permit agencies to develop a coordinated permitting process schedule. Each participating agency and the SEPA lead agency must send at least one representative qualified to discuss the applicability and timelines associated with all permits administered by that agency. Upon completion of the work plan meeting, Ecology must finalize the permitting process schedule and share it in writing, including participating counties.
Counties with development projects designated as clean energy projects of statewide significance shall enter into an agreement with Ecology and the proponents for expediting completion of projects. Counties will be required to:
1. expedite permit processing for the design and construction of the project
2. expedite environmental review
3. expedite processing of requests for street, right-of-way, or easement vacations necessary for the construction of the project
4. make local officials or planning staff available to serve on the work plan team
5. develop and follow a plan for consultation with tribes
6. carry out other actions identified by Ecology as need for the process.
Project proponents in a fully coordinated permitting process must enter into a cost-reimbursement agreement with Ecology to recover reasonable costs incurred by Ecology and participating agencies.
Each participating agency in a fully coordinated permitting process retains its authority to make all decision on all substantive matters with regard to the respective component permit that is within its scope of its responsibility, including, but not limited to, the determination of permit application completeness, permit approval, approval with conditions, or denial.
Part 3 of the bill adds a new section to SEPA (RCW 43.21C).
Prior to issuing a threshold determination that a clean energy project proposal is likely to cause a significant adverse environmental impact, the lead agency must notify the applicant and explain in writing the basis for its anticipated DS. The applicant must be given the option of withdrawing or revising its application and checklist.
When an EIS is required, a lead agency shall prepare a final EIS for clean energy projects within 24 months. There are additional requirements for coordinating with the applicant and other agencies for the EIS.
Ecology is required to prepare nonproject environmental impact statements that assess and disclose the probable significant environmental impacts, and that identify related mitigation measures, for each of the following categories of projects:
1. Green electrolytic ore renewable hydrogen projects;
2. Solar energy projects located in the Columbia Basin.
A lead agency conducting a project-level environmental review of a solar energy project proposal in the Columbia Basin or a green electrolytic or renewable hydrogen project proposal must adopt, where appropriate, a nonproject EIS prepared pursuant to section 302 of this act in order to identify and mitigate project-level impacts.
When conducting project review of a project to construct or improve facilities for the generation, transmission, or distribution of electricity, a local government may not require a project applicant to demonstrate the necessity or utility of the project, other than to require submission of any publicly available documentation required by FERC.
WSU is required to conduct a least-conflict pumped storage siting process. WSU must provide ample opportunities for tribes and stakeholders to engage in the process. |

This bill prohibits counties planning under the GMA from imposing minimum parking requirements for new residential or commercial development in the following circumstances:
1. Within 1/2 mile of a transit stop that receives level 1 or 2 transit service.
2. Within 1/4 mile of a transit stop that receives level 3 transit service.
A GMA-planning county may impose minimum parking requirements on an individual project in the circumstances described previously, provided that county makes written findings within 30 days of the receipt of a completed application that not doing so would have a substantially negative impact, supportive of a preponderance of the evidence in the record, on existing on-site residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of the development project.
Counties may not impose minimum parking requirements for developments meeting 1 and 2 above, under any circumstances, if:
1. the housing development dedicates a minimum of 20% of the housing units to very low, low, or moderate-income households for a minimum of 12 years or
2. the housing development contains fewer than 20 housing units. |

WSDOT is instructed to create a new division or expand an existing one to provide technical assistance and award planning grants to cities to implement requirements of the bill, provide compliance review of any transit-oriented development, and mediate disputes between WSDOT, local governments, and project proponents.
A grant program is created, in cooperation with Commerce, to assist in the financing of housing projects within rapid transit corridors. Local governments are among the eligible grantees.
Projects eligible to receive grants must meet the following requirements:
1. be within 1/4 mile of a rapid transit corridor (light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit, ferry terminals, and bus stops);
2. comply with floor area ratio or net density minimums;
3. produce at least 100 unites of housing; and
4. include a covenant on the property requiring at least 20% of units to remain affordable for at least 99 years.
36.70A.030 is amended to include a definition for "floor area ratio", "major transit station," "station area," "station hub," and "transit oriented density."
The GMA is amended to add a section prohibiting GMA-planning cities from enacting or enforcing any development regulation within a station area that would prohibit the siting of multifamily on any residential use parcel, and other requirements.
The limitations in 36.70A.620 for minimum residential parking for housing units constructed after 7/1/19 for affordable housing, senior and disability housing, and market rate multifamily near transit are repealed. Counties are prohibited from requiring off-street parking as a condition of permitting development within a station area, except for off-street parking that is permanently marked for the exclusive use of individuals with disabilities.
SEPA is amended in 43.21C.229 to "provide cities and counties with additional flexibility to accommodate infill as well as to facilitate the timely and certain deployment of sustainable transit-oriented development. It is also amended to require that any project action meeting the following criteria be categorically exempt from SEPA:
1. it is related to a proposed development that would fill in a station hub or station area;
2. it is related to a proposed multifamily residential development, mixed-use development, or commercial development, and it is not inconsistent with the comp plan and does not exceed density or intensity policies. |

This bill has been negotiated between AWB, WSAC, and AWC.
36.70B.020 is amended to change the definition for "project permit," removing building permits and adding "which do not require a comprehensive plan amendment to "site specific rezones."
36.70B.070 is amended to require that a notice of complete application be provided to the applicant within 20 days, rather than 28, and that the 20 days is calculated by counting 5 days per week, excluding holidays, rather than calendar days. This actually extends the deadline by one full week, plus holidays.
Counties are required, if the application is deemed incomplete, to notify the applicant in writing that the procedural submission requirements of the local government have not been met and outline what is needed.
When a project application is complete in (2) is changed to state "as outline in the permit application." The following is also added:
Additional information or studies may be required or project modifications may be undertaken subsequent to the procedural review of the application by the local government. Also added: However, if the procedural submission requirements, as outlined on the project permit application have been provided, the need for additional information or studies may not preclude a completeness determination.
Subsection (3) is also amended to include that "the determination of completeness may include or be combined with," and "the notice of application pursuant to the requirements in RCW 36.70A.110" is added to the list.
That date upon which the application is deemed complete if the local government does not provide a written determination is changed to the 29th date after it is received.
RCW 36.70B.080 is changed with regard to time periods counties have to review permits and issue a final decision. The current 120-day timeframe is changed to three different time frames:
1. 45 days for permits which do not require public notice;
2. 70 days for permits requiring public notice; and
3. 120 for permits requiring public notice and a public hearing.
Jurisdictions are authorized to modify the timeframes and permits types as long as the modifications don't exceed 120 days.
Calculating the days in review begins from the date of completeness to the date a final decision is issued. The number of days is calculated by counting 5 days per week, excluding holidays. Days do not include time periods between where the county has notified the applicant in writing that additional information is required and the day when responsive information is submitted. Time periods are also stopped when an applicant informs the local government, in writing, they would like to temporarily suspend review. Time periods are also stopped when an administrative appeal is filed.
When time periods for review and decision are not met, the applicant is entitled to a discount on the permit fee. Discounts are 10% for up to 20% of the time frame exceeded, and 20% if the timeframe is exceeded by more than 20%.
Counties can exempt themselves from the penalties for exceeding timeframes if they implement at least three of the following options:
1. collect fees that cover the full costs of permitting review;
2. enter into an interlocal agreement with another jurisdiction for sharing permitting staff and resources;
3. have on-call permitting assistance in place and budgeted for when volumes increase;
4. have new positions budgeted that are contingent on increased permit revenue;
5. adopt development regulations which only require public hearings for applications required to have a public hearing be statute;
6. adopt development regulations making preapplication meetings optional rather than mandatory;
7. adopt regulations making housing types an outright permitted use in all zones where housing type is permitted;
8. adopt a program allowing outside professionals with appropriate licenses to certify components of applications consistent with their license;
9. offer a meeting with applicants to resolve outstanding issues during the review process. |

This bill is considered by some as the "Foster" fix.
RCW 90.44.030 is amended, adding that "hydraulic continuity between groundwater and surface water with unmet minimum flows or that is closed to further appropriate is not, by itself, a basis on which to deny new groundwater withdrawals." Ecology is required to consider whether a proposed appropriate of public groundwater till impair surface water rights or adversely affect surface water sources closed to further appropriation.
If Ecology determines that any proposed groundwater withdrawal would impair a minimum instream flow or adversely affect a surface water source closed to further appropriation, they may authorize the new groundwater withdrawal with adequate mitigation. Mitigation measure must be based on the following sequence:
1. Avoid impacts by complying with mitigation required in adopted rules that set forth minimum flow, level, or closures, or make the groundwater withdrawal subject to applicable minimum flows or levels.
2. Minimize impacts by provided permanent replacement water supply resulting in no net annual increase in surface water withdrawal and not net detrimental impact to fish.
3. Compensate for adverse impacts by providing in-kind or out-of-kind mitigation that improves the function and productivity of affected fish populations and related aquatic habitat in the WRIA.
The mitigation sequence applies to mitigation relating to minimum instream flows or closures. They are not intended to affect or modify impairment or mitigation standards for impacts to appropriative water rights.
A new definition is added to RCW 90.03.015 for "withdrawal." It specifies that a withdrawal of groundwater or surface water may be either temporary or permanent. |
