Description:

Abstract:

Current King County Urban Growth Area Boundaries. The Comprehensive Plan designates an UGA which includes areas and densities sufficient to permit the urban growth that is projected to occur in the County for the succeeding 20-year period. Create layer using parcels, cities, and legal descriptions.

Purpose:

The Growth Management Act requires the King County Comprehensive Plan to designate an Urban Growth Area; where most future urban growth and development is to occur to limit urban sprawl; enhance open space; protect rural areas and more efficiently use human services; transportation and utilities.

Process_Description:

The 1985 KC Comprehensive Plan included an "urban growth boundary line" this line was delineated by KC urban planners following roads, parcels lines and other geographic features depicted on manually drafted zoning maps. The line as delineated by planners was modified by KC Council and adopted. Each year a process of amending the urban growth boundary was undertaken, the planners would propose changes, the Council would individually accept or deny each change and optionally make additional changes.

Process_Description:

With the Advent of GIS in King County the "urban growth boundary line" was implemented in GIS and an "Urban Growth Area" polygon layer was derived from it. The actual features in the "Urban Growth Area" and "Urban Growth Boundary" GIS layers were generally derived from a series of parcel GIS layers that were developed for each Community Plan that was adopted in the 1980s. Some additional features were drawn in from other GIS layers such as streams, and roads. Still other features were added via Coordinate Geometry functions, or digitized from other paper maps. The layers were subject to the same annual amendment process each subsequent year until present. As the changes were made each year the changing portions of the layer would be positionally adjusted to best match the latest version of the KC Parcel layer.

In 2002, the entire UGA/UGB data set was rigorously checked against implementing ordinance sources and made to match the then current KC parcel layer.
