VISION 2050 Consistency Tool for Countywide Planning Policies

This tool, a resource from the Plan Review Manual, is intended to help integrate VISION 2050 into countywide planning policies. Countywide planning policies provide a framework for guiding local planning in each of the four counties in central Puget Sound. The tool can be used at various stages in the countywide process:

CPP Update Scoping: Reviewing new or expanded VISION 2050 issue areas help guide extent of updates.

Draft Review: Submit draft CPPs, along with this tool, to PSRC to help identify potential consistency issues.

Certification Review: Completing this tool assists PSRC’s review of adopted policies and helps facilitate certification.

Regional Collaboration: Tool responses provide an opportunity to highlight innovative policies and public engagement.

Word and PDF versions of this tool are also available for download to assist with the planning process.
