County delays action on
Shelton plan to next year
The Mason County Commis-
sion has voted to delay 4mtil next
year a vote on the proposed Shel-
ton Urban Growth Area Sub-
Area Plan.
A decision not to decide on
the plan until January 15 at the
earliest was made last week af-
ter commissioners decided they
didn't have the documents they
need to proceed.
Work on developing the plan
began in 2002, and the next year
the county and the City of Shel-
ton signed a memorandum of
understanding that outlined the
comprehensive planning process.
After some delays, the county
completed an update to the coun-
ty comprehensive plan by late
2005.
This included a new popula-
tion allocation for Shelton for the
20-year planning horizon. As a
result, the city reassessed the ca-
pacity of designated residential
lands to ensure that the residen-
tial growth built into the draft
plan aligned with the new popu-
lation target. It then determined
that the residential development
capacity in the plan was much
greater than the allocated popu-
lation and needed to be reduced.
The boundary of the urban
growth area has been refined to
address the situation of a num-
ber of split parcels.
Last year the city began a new
phase of the planning process
with an updated capacity analy-
sis and a draft of a future land-
use plan. Earlier this year the
city hosted a series of four open
houses to spread information
about developments to the pub-
lic. Issues identified during this
process are reflected in changes
to the draft UGA plan and land-
use plans.
City officials conducted public
hearings about the proposed plan
in May and October and have de-
cided to wait for adoption until
after the county has completed
its public process.
