Election 2004: Match your candidate

Washington: Spokane County Commission, District 1

Issue 1 of 7: What is the first change you would make to the way the county manages growth and development?

Checkmark all the quotes/position statements you agree with.

 Growth and development are essential but have suffered from lack of coordinated community planning. I would apply comprehensive planning and zoning intelligently and fairly to assure that growth pays for itself, and continue developing an accelerated permitting process.


 The county needs to have a long-term strategic plan that addresses financing of the infrastructure for the growth allowed by the comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan allows revisions every five years. The strategic plan should follow that same schedule.


 Follow the state mandated comprehensive growth management plan. Allow development in urban growth areas. This will increase property values and property taxes.
