8 . Pursuant to WCC 2 . 160 . 080, in order to approve the proposed comprehensive plan
amendments the County must find all of the following:
a. The amendment conforms to the requirements of the Growth Management Act, is
internally consistent with the county-wide planning policies and is consistent with
any interlocal planning agreements.
b . Further studies made or accepted by the Department of Planning and
Development Services indicate changed conditions that show need for the

resource lands .
d. The amendment does not include or facilitate spot zoning.
2
e. Amendments that propose the expansion of an urban growth area boundary are

certain exceptions.
Growth Management Act
9 . The Growth Management Act (GMA) establishes planning goals in RCW 36 .70A. 020
to guide adoption of comprehensive plan amendments .
10 . GMA planning goal # 12 is to "Ensure that those public facilities and services
necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the
time the development is available for occupancy and use without decreasing current
service levels below locally established minimum standards" (RCW 36 . 70A. 020( 12)) .
11 . The subject amendments include updating the Six-Year CIP for Whatcom County
Facilities for the 2013 -2018 planning period. Updating the CIP is one step in the
process of planning regional facilities provided by the County to serve the people of
Whatcom County.
12 . The GMA, at RCW 36 . 70A . 070(3), requires that a comprehensive plan must include a
capital facilities plan element consisting of
a. An inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities, showing the
locations and capacities of the capital facilities.
b. A forecast of the future needs for such capital facilities.
c . The proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities.
d. At least a six-year plan that will finance such capital facilities within projected
funding capacities and clearly identifies sources of public money for such
purposes .
e. A requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls short of
meeting existing needs and to ensure that the land use element, capital facilities
plan element, and financing plan within the capital facilities plan element are
coordinated and consistent.
13 . The Six-Year CIP for Whatcom County Facilities contains an inventory of existing
County owned or operated facilities, a forecast of future needs based upon the level of
service standards adopted in the Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan and other
factors, proposed expanded or new County capital facilities, costs and funding sources.
3
14 . Existing Comprehensive Plan Policy 4A-4 addresses the GMA requirement to reassess
the land use element if probable capital facility funding falls short.
County-Wide Planning Policies
15 . County-Wide Planning Policy K- 1 indicates that, as part of the comprehensive
planning process, the County must identify appropriate land for public facilities that
meets the needs of the community including recreation, transportation and human
service facilities .
16 . The CIP identifies County park, trail, transportation and other improvements as
contemplated by the County Wide Planning Policies .
Interlocal Agreements
17 . Existing inter-local agreements between Whatcom County and the cities indicate that
the County will consult with the appropriate city in planning new road construction
projects within the city' s urban growth area. The inter-local agreements also provide
joint planning for parks.
18 . The County Engineer indicated on July 2, 2012 that the County sends a copy of the
six-year transportation improvement program to cities prior to approval, requests
comments, and informs cities of the hearing date. The Whatcom County Parks
Director stated on July 2 , 2012 that the County Parks ' staff maintains a consistent
working relationship with appropriate staff from cities on joint park projects and
planning. Therefore, the type of cooperation envisioned by the inter-local agreements
is occurring.
Further Studies/Changed Conditions
19 . The Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan calls for an update of the Six-Year Capital
Improvement Program for County facilities every other year. Specifically, Policy 4B- 1
is to :
Maintain and update, on at least a biennial basis, a six-year capital improvement
program (CIP) that identifies projects, outlines a schedule, and designates realistic
funding sources for all county capital projects based on a review of population and
revenue conditions existing at that time.
20 . A revised capital improvement program has been formulated for County owned or
operated facilities, which presents improvement projects over the new six-year
planning period.
4
Public Interest
21 . The Six-Year CIP plans for public facilities from 2013 to 2018 based upon anticipated
population growth over the six-year planning period and other relevant factors.
Therefore, the proposal should complement the County' s growth and development
plans.
22 . The Six-Year CIP for Whatcom County Facilities will have a positive impact on the
County' s ability to provide public facilities by planning ahead for such facilities.
Adverse impacts to other service providers have not been identified.
23 . The goal of the Six-Year CIP for Whatcom County Facilities is to plan for County
owned or operated parks, trails, stormwater facilities, flood protection facilities,
government buildings, correction facilities, and transportation improvements to serve
the people of Whatcom County. Planning for such County facilities is in the public
interest.
Spot Zoning
24 . The subject proposal does not involve rezoning property.
Level of Service Standard Modification
25 . A level of service standard for maintenance & operation facilities is set forth in the
Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan.
26. The "Growth Management Act — Procedural Criteria for Adopting Comprehensive
Plans and Development Regulations" state that counties are not required to set level of
service standards for facilities that are not necessary for development (WAC 365 - 196-
415 (2)(b)) .
27 . Whatcom County will continue to monitor and evaluate the need for maintenance &
operation facility improvements. However, such facilities are not related to growth
management planning. Therefore, the level of service standard for such facilities may
be removed from the Comprehensive Plan.
CONCLUSIONS
1 . The proposed amendments conform to applicable requirements of the Growth
Management Act.
2 . The proposed amendments satisfy the approval criteria of WCC 2 . 160 . 080 .
5

Version Approved by the County Council - Nov. 20, 2012 Appendix F - Six-Year CIP 2013-2018
Chapter 1 - INTRODUCTION
The Growth Management Act requires that the County's Comprehensive Plan include a "capital facilities
plan element" (RCW 36.70A. 070 (3)) . The Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan calls for the County to
develop and update the Six-Year Capital Improvement Program for County projects. The main purpose of
this Capital Improvement Program is to plan County facilities to serve the people of Whatcom County over
the next six years.
Growth Management Act Requirements
According to the Growth Management Act, a county's capital facilities plan must include five items , which
are shown below.
A. An inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities, showing the locations and
capacities of the capital facilities.
Current inventories of existing County capital facilities, based upon information provided by various County
departments, are included in each chapter of this document.
B. A forecast of the future needs for such capital facilities.
Chapters 4 and 6 of the Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan establish "level of service" standards for
County parks, administrative facilities (i. e . Sheriffs office space) , correction facilities , and transportation .
Level of service standards are expressed in acres of parkland needed for every 1 ,000 people in the County,
square feet of Sheriffs office space needed to serve each person in the County, etc. Forecasts of future
needs for capital facilities over the six-year planning period are determined by applying the adopted level of
service for a given facility to the expected population in the year 2018.
C. Proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities.
General locations and capacities (acres of parkland , jail beds, etc. ) of proposed new County facilities are
indicated in this document.
D. At least a six-year plan that will finance such capital facilities within projected funding capacities and
clearly identifies sources of public money for such purposes.
This Six-Year Capital Improvement Program presents costs and funding sources for proposed County
capital facilities (all figures are in 2012 dollars). There are a variety of funding sources that the County
utilizes to pay for capital facilities , including real estate excise tax, conservation futures, the public utilities
improvement fund , the jail fund and grants . One other potential source is the County's General Fund . The
Finance Manager for Whatcom County indicated that, over the six-year planning period , there would be little
revenue in the County's General Fund to finance capital facilities . However, the capital facilities proposed in
this Six-Year Capital Improvement Program are within the County's funding capacity. Specifically, Whatcom
County's unused limited tax general obligation bond long -term debt capacity at the end of 2011 was
$337,885 , 810 , which far exceeds the expenditures proposed by this Six-Year Capital Improvement Program .
Therefore , it would be possible to issue bonds to pay for capital facilities if revenue is increased , expenses
decreased , or programs reprioritized to make debt service payments .
Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan
F-3
Version Approved by the County Council - Nov. 20, 2012 Appendix F - Six-Year CIP 2013-2018
Revenue and expenditure projections for roads and related non-motorized facilities are set forth in the six-
year transportation improvement program .
E. A requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls short of meeting existing
needs and to ensure that the land use element, capital facilities plan element, and financing plan
within the capital facilities plan element are coordinated and consistent.
Finally, in accordance with the Growth Management Act, a requirement to reassess the land use element of
the Comprehensive Plan if probable funding falls short of meeting existing needs and to ensure consistency
between plans already exists in the Comprehensive Plan ( Policy 4A-4).
Charter Provisions and the County Budget
In addition to Growth Management Act provisions relating to capital facilities, Section 6 . 30 of the County
Charter also requires the County to include a six-year capital improvement program as part of the budget.
Appropriation for 2013-2014 capital projects may be included in the biennial budget or may be adopted
through the supplemental budget process. Ultimate funding for capital improvement projects is subject to
County Council authorization in the adopted budget. Costs identified for 2015-2018 are included for
planning purposes and review of potential future needs, but not for budget authorization at this time.
Contracting for Services
Whatcom County may contract with other entities, such as the Council of Governments and the Northwest
Regional Council , for vital community services. These contracts represent County participation in providing
essential services, alongside other partners, without the need to construct County owned capital facilities,
which can be very costly.

Future Parks Level of Service
A level of service of 9.6 acres of developed parkland for every 1 , 000 people in the County was adopted in
the Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan .
Proposed Park Improvement . Projects
Seven park improvement projects are proposed to provide additional park space by the year 2018 . These
projects would add 271 acres of parkland in Whatcom County, as shown below.
Additionally, other park and recreation improvement projects are proposed on existing parkland . These
projects will add recreational facilities at these parks , but will not add acreage to the inventory. Examples
include playfields , picnic areas , restrooms, and parking .
Financing for Park Improvement Projects
The total cost of the seven proposed park improvement projects is approximately $2. 5 million over the six-
year planning period . These costs would be paid for through grants , real estate excise tax ( REET), the park
improvement fund , conservation futures, and flood funds as shown below.

Future Trail Needs
A level of service of 0.60 miles of trails for every 1 , 000 people in the County was adopted in the Whatcom
County Comprehensive Plan . With projected population growth in Whatcom County over the next six years,
an additional 71 miles of trails would be needed by the year 2018 to serve the people of Whatcom County.
Trail Improvement Projects
Five improvement projects are proposed to provide additional trails to meet the anticipated need by the year
2018 . These projects would add 71 miles of trails in Whatcom County, as shown below.
Financing for Trail Improvement Projects
The total cost of the five proposed trail improvement projects is approximately $6 .2 million over the six-year
planning period . These costs would be paid for through grants, REET , conservation futures, donations, and ,
potentially, a levy. This is an ambitious plan and funding needed to provide this level of service will,
realistically, have to compete with higher priority functions of County government.

Notes:
1 . The Sheriffs Office also has storage facilities at various locations in Whatcom County.
2. The County has two mobile homes and an old detention facility in Point Roberts. The resident deputies
operate out of their homes or utilize space at the U .S. Customs office at the border.
Existing Sheriffs Office facilities locations and square footage include shared space at local fire districts that
is available depending on Fire District needs and is generally subject to change with short notice or no
notice, and rented or leased space not solely dedicated to Sheriffs Office use .
Future Sheriff's Office Needs
A level of service of 0 . 26 square feet of Sheriffs Office space per capita was adopted in the Comprehensive
Plan . With projected population growth in unincorporated Whatcom County over the next six years, a small
amount of additional Sheriff's Office space (approximately 81 square feet) would be needed in 2018 to meet
the adopted level of service . A plan has not been formulated at the present time to increase the Sherriffs
Office space. Therefore , either the LOS will need to be re-evaluated at the next comprehensive plan update
or a plan will need to be formulated to provide additional office space in the future. Most Sheriffs Office
functions are based in the Public Safety Building adjacent to the Courthouse and are remote to the vast
majority of Sheriffs Office Bureau of Law Enforcement and Investigative Services functions that take place
in unincorporated Whatcom County. This results in inefficiencies and delays. Space and design factors in
current facilities preclude consolidating various functions performed throughout the agency (reception ,
finance, etc. ) and result in redundancies. When fiscally feasible , existing Sheriffs Office facilities and
associated functions should be consolidated (except for "Resident Deputy" program facilities) .
Proposed Sheriffs Office Improvement Projects
At the current time, no improvement projects that would add usable space are proposed within the six-year
planning period .

The 2012 inventory of Division of Emergency Management office space is 1 ,821 square feet, located in the
Civic Center Annex as shown below. The active Emergency Operation Center for the county was closed in
2010. If an Emergency Operations Center is needed during an emergency, the portable building at the
Central Shop , which is 3 ,600 square feet, is the designated site for set-up.

Future Emergency Management/EOC Needs
The Division of Emergency Management requires both daily office space for Emergency Management and ,
during an actual emergency, additional space for the emergency operations center ( EOC). During an
emergency, the EOC may have to accommodate several hundred people in a single day. These people
include a combination of elected officials, trained personnel and volunteers, who serve in a variety of
capacities during the emergency.
A level of service of 0 . 011 square feet of emergency operations space per capita was adopted in the
Comprehensive Plan . With projected population growth an additional 578 square feet, over and above the
existing 1 ,821 square feet of office space, would be needed by the year 2018 to meet the adopted level of
service . However, during an emergency when a location for an EOC is needed , there is access to the
portable building at the Central Shop (approximately 3,600 square feet) . This is a designated "cold site" that
will require 45 minutes to 1 % hours to set up .
The Division of Emergency Management may need to move out of the Civic Center Annex within the next
year, as other County functions may move into this space. The County is working to develop a
comprehensive and coordinated plan to re-locate Emergency Management, with the goal of assuring
appropriate long-term facilities. However, this plan has not yet been finalized .

CHAPTER 7 - JAILS
Existing Jail Facilities
The main County jail was designed for 148 beds, although it currently has 283 beds due to double bunking ,
internal remodeling and use of temporary beds. In 2011 , the average daily population for the main jail was
265. Additionally, the jail is currently not in compliance with the Building/Fire Codes for double bunking ,
although a plan has been approved to bring it into compliance . Whatcom County completed construction of
a 150 bed minimum security correction facility on Division St. in 2006 . In 2011 , the average daily population
for the minimum security facility was 137 . The main jail is located in the Public Safety Building next to the
County Courthouse in downtown Bellingham and minimum security correction facility is located in the
Bakerview Rd . industrial area .

Future Jail Needs
A level of service of 1 .42 beds for every 1 , 000 people in the County was adopted in 1997 in the Whatcom
County Comprehensive Plan . Based on the actual average daily populations of the two County jail facilities ,
the County plans to review this level of service . Average daily populations documented by the Corrections
Bureau since 2006 have been well above the minimum number of beds required by the current level of
service standard . The County needs to review and update the existing level of service standard . This
review will begin in 2013.
Proposed Jail Improvement Projects
There are serious concerns among law and justice officials relating to jail facility needs in the community.
This need has been documented by recommendations from the Whatcom County Law and Justice Plan
Phase II Report (June 2000 ), in a report entitled Operational Review of the Whatcom County, Washington
Jail ( March 2004) , and in the Whatcom County Jail Planning Task Force Recommendations ( Dec. 2011 and
March 2012) . In an effort to meet the community need , the County will be siting and constructing a Sheriffs
Office New Main Jail Facility, tentatively scheduled to open with 600 beds . At the time the Sheriffs Office
New Main Jail Facility is open , the offenders at the minimum-security corrections facility would be relocated
. to the new facility. A location for the Sheriffs Office New Main Jail Facility has not been selected . It is
anticipated that the new jail facility will come on line by 2016 .

ROADS
Existing Roads
The 2011 inventory shows a total of 941 . 5 miles of County roads . Additionally, there are 217. 5 miles of state
highways in Whatcom County (including 1 -5). Therefore, there are approximately 1 , 159 miles of public roads
in Whatcom County.
Future Road Needs
The Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan sets level of service (LOS) standards for County roads. Future
traffic and the level of service for roads can be forecasted using computer-modeling software. The Whatcom
Council of Governments forecasts future traffic utilizing a computer transportation model . This modeling
effort will inform transportation planning in Whatcom County.
Whatcom County accomplishes planning for County road improvements by approving a Six-Year
Transportation Improvement Program each year, as required by RCW 36. 81 . 121 .
Proposed Improvement Projects
The Whatcom County Council approved the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program for the years
201 c through 2018 under Resolution No . 2012-023. This six-year plan includes preliminary planning for two
proposed new road projects:
• Horton Road Connector ( between Northwest Drive and Aldrich Road) ; and
• Lincoln Road extension ( between Harborview Road and Blaine Road ).
While these two projects are on the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program , construction is not
anticipated within the six-year planning period . Rather, preliminary engineering to determine project
feasibility may be initiated within this time frame .
The six-year plan also includes a number of bridge replacements, several reconstruction projects, and the
Birch Bay Drive & Pedestrian Facility improvements, which include pedestrian and non-motorized
enhancements along Birch Bay Dr. from Alderson Rd . to Harborview Rd .
In addition to the projects in the Six-Year Transportation Program , the Lincoln Road/Birch Point connector is
a developer funded project. The project completion date is unknown because of current economic
conditions.
Financing for Improvement Projects
The total cost of the County transportation projects in the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program is
$48 , 236 ,000 . These costs include $24 , 705 , 000 of County funds, with the remainder being funded by the
State and Federal governments . These costs are shown in greater detail in Resolution No . 2012-023 .

and Gooseberry Point on a daily basis.
Future Ferry Needs
The Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan sets a level of service of 513 ferry passenger trips annually per
capita of Lummi Island population . Based upon projected population , the Lummi ferry will not meet the
adopted level of service over the six-year planning period . Therefore, it will be appropriate to consider
revising the LOS standard during the next comprehensive plan update .
Proposed Ferry Improvement Projects
No improvement projects that would add ferry capacity are proposed within the six-year planning period .

Chapter 10 Stormwater and Flood Protection Facilities
STORMWATER
Existing Stormwater Management Facilities
Public Works Department is responsible for the design , engineering, and construction of county-owned
stormwater facilities. Many stormwater facilities are road-related stormwater conveyance systems, such as
culverts and ditches, on and adjacent to county roads . Others are off right-of-way facilities that control storm
flows and improve water quality.
In response to ( 1 ) increasing federal and state mandates to manage stormwater and (2) the public's desire
to improve stewardship of sensitive watersheds, Whatcom County established a Stormwater Section in the
Surface Water Division of the Public Works Department in 2005. The Stormwater Section is responsible for
planning , designing , engineering , and construction of stormwater facilities. Inventories of existing
stormwater facilities are maintained by the Public Works Department. Engineering Services Division
maintains an inventory of all road-related facilities. The Surface Water Division maintains an inventory of
public and private stormwater facilities in the area covered by the county's NPDES Phase II permit for
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems . This inventory includes ditches , culverts, catch basins , vaults,
ponds and swales. Stormwater projects that have been constructed since the Public Works Stormwater
Section was created in 2005 are listed below.

Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan
F-23
Version Approved by the County Council - Nov. 20, 2012 Appendix F - Six-Year CIP 2013-2018
Whatcom County Public Works received several awards for the Silver Beach Creek improvements, which
were completed in 2011 (existing site no . 4 above). Silver Beach Creek experiences increased stormwater
runoff and greater peak flows due to its developed landscape. This project is designed to substantially
improve water quality and reduce flooding in an especially problematic reach of the creek. The project
included reshaping and stabilizing the stream channel , installing water quality treatment swales, and
installing stormwater vaults. These improvements filter phosphorus-containing sediment, alleviate flooding ,
reduce erosion , and promote infiltration . Project construction cost was approximately $900, 000 and shared
between local real estate excise tax ( REET) revenues and a federal EPA grant.
Financing for Stormwater Projects
An increasing emphasis on the protection of sensitive watersheds has resulted in the adoption of
comprehensive stormwater plans for Lake Whatcom and Birch Bay. A similar plan is currently being
developed by the Lake Samish community. The adopted plans identify work towards planning , design ,
engineering , and construction of capital projects intended for the next six years .
Capital facilities that may be constructed during the next six years are listed below. Projects are expected to
be financed by a combination of REET , grants , countywide Flood Control Zone District tax revenues, local
Flood Control fees and , potentially, the county general fund . Where appropriate , matching contributions from
other beneficiaries will be sought.

FLOOD PROTECTION
Existing Flood Protection Facilities
Whatcom County has been involved in river management and protection of infrastructure for decades. In
response to the devastating floods in 1990, the County established a County-wide Flood Control Zone
District to address the natural hazards associated with river flooding , lowland flooding , landslides, and
coastal storms. Projects range from repairs to existing flood control facilities after flood events, to flood
hazard reduction projects that typically result from a comprehensive flood hazard management planning
process. Significant flood projects that have been constructed since 2000 are listed below.
