ORDINANCE # 2002 -066
AMENDING THE SIX -YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM,
CAPITAL FACILITIES CHAPTER AND TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER
OF THE WHATCOM COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
WHEREAS, The Growth Management Act requires counties and cities to review and, if
needed, revise comprehensive plans to ensure continued compliance with the GMA (RCW
36.70A.130); and
WHEREAS, It is also appropriate to review the comprehensive plan in light of new
information and changed County priorities; and
WHEREAS, Legal notice was published in the Bellingham Herald; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposal; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission has evaluated the proposed amendments and made
certain modifications;
WHEREAS, The County Council has considered the Planning Commission's Findings of
Fact & Reasons for Action, Conclusions, and Recommendations.
The Council makes the following findings of fact and conclusions:
FINDINGS OF FACT
L Notice of the Planning Commission hearing for the subject amendment was published in
the Bellingham Herald on April 25, 2002.
2. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the subject amendment on May 9,
2002.
3. A determination of non - significance was issued under the State Environmental Policy
Act (SEPA) on August 5, 2002.
4. Growth Management Act (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)).
M
5. The GMA, at RCW 36.70A.070(3), requires that the Comprehensive Plan include a
capital facilities plan element. This element must consist of an inventory of existing
capital facilities, a forecast of the Future needs for capital facilities, and the proposed
locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities. It must also include a six -
year plan that will finance capital facilities within projected funding capacities and
clearly identify sources of public money for such purposes.
6. County -Wide Planning Policy K -1 indicates that, as part of the comprehensive planning
process, the County must identify appropriate land for public facilities which meets the
needs of the community, including recreation, transportation and human service facilities.
7. The Whatcom County law & Justice Plan, Phase II Report, was issued in June of 2000.
It recommends construction of a new minimum /medium security correction facility.
8. The Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted in May of 1997.
Since adoption, Whatcom County has updated inventories of existing County facilities
and evaluated the need for future capital facilities based upon adopted level of service
standards and new population projections. Based upon the identified capital facility
needs, a Six -Year Capital Improvement Program for the years 2003 to 2008 has been
formulated, to replace the existing Capital Improvement Program for the years 2001 to
2006.
9. House Bill 1487 was passed by the State legislature in 1998. It required Counties to
incorporate planning for state highways into local comprehensive plans, including level
of service standards for state highways.
10. The level of service standards for highways of state -wide significance in the Whatcom
County Comprehensive Plan are being revised so that they are consistent with the
Washington State Highway System Plan, 2003 -2022, which was adopted in February
2002.
11. Whatcom County has several on -going planning processes that will influence the
development of future capital improvement programs. These include the Essential Public
Facilities Advisory Committee, the Law & Justice Council, and the County's long range
facilities master plan.
12. The Lummi Island ferry did not meet the adopted level of service in the year 2000 and it
appears that it would be difficult to meet the adopted level of service over the six year
planning period. However, two planning documents will be prepared in the near future:
An update to the Lummi Island Subarea Plan (that will address planned land uses on the
Island) and a Lummi Island 20 -year Ferry Plan (that will address long -range ferry
service to the Island). The Lummi Island Subarea Plan update will be accomplished first,
so that ferry planning can be based upon the updated land use plan for the Island.
P. 2
CONCLUSIONS
I. The subject amendment is consistent with Growth Management Act, County Wide Planning
Policies, and Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan goals that seek to provide adequate
capital facilities to serve planned growth and development in order to maintain the
community's quality of life.
2. The proposal is consistent with the public interest because it plans for adequate capital
facilities to serve the community as it continues to grow.
3. The subject amendment is based upon further study and evaluation of the need for capital
facilities over the next six years in Whatcom County. Therefore, the proposed amendment is
consistent with the RCW 36.70.410, which requires that Comprehensive Plan amendments
must be based upon further study or changed conditions.
4. The subject amendment complies with the approval criteria for comprehensive plan
amendments of WCC 20.10.080.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Whatcom County Council that:
Section 1. The Six -Year Capital Improvement Program component of the Whatcom County
Comprehensive Plan is hereby amended as shown on Exhibit A.

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)). Capital facilities, as defined by the
Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan, include:
... all facilities owned by Whatcom County used directly or indirectly to serve the
public interest. Those facilities typically have long useful lives, significant costs, and
are not mobile. Whatcom County capital facilities include buildings, land, parks, and
roads ... (p. 4-1).
The Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan's capital facilities element (Chapter 4) calls for
the County to develop and update the Six -Year Capital Improvement Program. The main
purpose of this Six -Year Capital Improvement Program is to plan for adequate capital
facilities to serve anticipated growth and development in Whatcom County over the next
six years. It also provides information to decision makers regarding the costs of
constructing capital facilities as the County continues to grow.
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 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.
Chapter 4 of the Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan establishes "levels of service" for
parks, administrative facilities (i.e. government office space), correction facilities, and
transportation. Levels of service are expressed in acres of parkland needed for every
1,000 people in the County, square feet of government 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 20086. For example, the adopted level of service
for developed parkland is 9.6 acres for every 1,000 people living in Whatcom County. The
County is expected to grow to about 190.948 184,230 people by the year 20086. Therefore,
a total of 1 833 4;769 acres of parkland would be needed by the year 20086 to maintain the
adopted level of service. Since we already have 1 611 4,594 acres of developed parkland,
about 222 445 additional acres would be needed six years from now (in 20086) to meet
the needs of the growing population.
F -3
Appendix F — Six Year CIP 2003 -2008 Draft 2002 Update
C. Proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities.
Locations and capacities (i.e. acres or square feet) of proposed new facilities are shown
in tables and on maps 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 capital facilities (all figures are in 20020 dollars). 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, according to Whatcom County's 20020 Final Budget, the
County's unused long -term debt capacity is $165,319,497 444,769,754 (with limited tax
general obligation bonds), 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.
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).
County Charter Provisions
In addition to Growth Management Act provisions relating to capital facilities, Section 6.30
of the County Charter also requires the County Executive's Office to include a six -year
capital improvement program as part of the budget. Chapter 10 of this Six -Year Capital
Improvement Program shows how capital facility responsibilities are being met under both
the Growth Management Act and the County Charter.
V -4
Appendix F — Six Year CIP 2001 -2006 Draft 2002 Update
Alternative Projects
When the Six -Year Capital Improvement Program was being reviewed several year
ago last yea , the Planning Commission requested that alternative projects be
presented. This version of the Six -Year Plan has incorporated alternative projects
where feasible. These alternatives could be implemented instead of a facility on the
"improvement projects" list if priorities change or difficulties arise in implementing one of
the proposed projects. Additionally, the alternative project list can serve as a vision for
the future, beyond the six -year planning period.
Master Facilities Planning
The County administration intends to engage in a master planning process in the near
future in order to achieve a more objective assessment of actual needs for County
facilities. The master plan will provide a comprehensive review of capital facility needs
over a 494o 20 year time frame and may result in significant changes to future six -year
capital improvement programs.
Contracting for Services
Whatcom County contracts 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.
Consolidated Services Building
One of the proposed projects in
this
Six -Year Capital
Improvement Program is a
Consolidated Services Building
which
may be built in
a location yet to be determined
received

Future Park Needs
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. With projected population
growth in Whatcom County over the next six years, an additional 221.6 475 acres of
developed /usable parkland would be needed by the year 20086 to serve the people of
Whatcom County,
Proposed Park Improvement Projects
Four park improvement projects are proposed to provide additional developed and /or
usable park space to meet the anticipated need by the year 20086 (not including the
alternative projects). These projects would add 225 386 -te -180 acres of developed and /or
usable park space in Whatcom County, as shown below and on Map F1.
Financing for Park Improvement Projects
The total cost of the four proposed park improvement projects is approximately $435.000
360,000 over the six -year planning period. These costs would be paid for through the
Nesset Foundation, a levy, grants the !'mere, Fund, and donations from the Whatcom
Parks and Recreation Foundation as shown below.

Future Trail Needs
A level of service of .75 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 96 miles of trails would be needed
by the year 20086 to serve the people of Whatcom County.
Trail Improvement Projects
Six Five improvement projects are proposed to provide additional trails to meet the
anticipated need by the year 20086 (not including the alternative projects). These projects
would add 110.67 1921.7 miles of trails in Whatcom County, as shown below and on Map
F2.
Financing for Trail Improvement Projects
The total cost of the six Gve proposed trail improvement projects is approximately $781,000
752,999 over the six -year planning period. These costs would be paid for through
Conservation Futures, a levy, grants donations thR,eo^crcl F,.nd, and the Whatcom Land
Trust as shown below.

Emergency Management/EOC indicated that the existing facility is inadequate to function
as an EOC during an emergency, when it 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. The
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) guidelines recommend an emergency

concern about the space provided to serve the jail population. Because of this, a correction
facility has been included in the capital improvement program approved under Section 6.30
of the County Charter for the last five three years. Additionally, the Whatcom County Law

facility. Therefore, a minimum /medium security correction facility is included in this capital

ROADS
Existing Roads
The 2001 2009 inventory shows a total of 950.23 948.66 miles of County roads.
Additionally, there are 212.40 2-10.5 miles of state highways in Whatcom County (including
1 -5). Therefore, there is a total of approximately 1,163 1,459.1 °.'6 miles of public roads in
Whatcom County. This inventory is shown on Map F11.
Future Road Needs
The Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan states that:
A roadway's "level of service" is a measure of how full of traffic it is. It is the ratio of
the actual volume of traffic to the maximum amount of traffic the road could hold.
Levels of service range from completely unrestricted flow of traffic (level "A ") to stop -
and-go traffic jams (level 7 "). At level of service "C" the road is 70% to 80% full.
The flow of traffic is generally stable, though individual users are significantly
affected by the presence of other vehicles (p. 6 -4).
The Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan sets the following levels of service (LOS) for
County roads:
• A volume -to- capacity ratio of 0.75 (LOS of C- minus) during p.m. peak hours for county
arterials and collectors located outside of City Urban Growth Areas (UGAs).
• A volume -to- capacity ratio of 0.8 (LOS of D) for arterials and collectors within County
Unincorporated UGAs.
• A volume -to- capacity ratio that offers a reasonable transition for roads located within
City UGAs.
• A level of service for roads located within city urban growth areas consistent with those
set by the city.
• A level of service for arterials and collectors that is adequate to accommodate efficient
transit service (pp. 4 -6, 6 -4, and 6 -5).

However, there is a need to continuously plan for County road improvements, prior to the
time the next T4Amodel can be run. Whatcom County accomplishes this planning by
approving a Six -Year Comprehensive Road Program each year, as required by RCW
36.81.121.
Appendix F - Six Year CIP 2003 -2008 Draft 2002 Update
Proposed Road Improvement Projects
The Whatcom County Council adopted the Six -Year Comprehensive Road Program for the
Years 2003 20021 Through 20088 28976 under Resolution No. 2002 -031 2801- 9374990-
939. This six -year plan includes preliminary planning for three proposed new road projects
and numerous reconstruction projects. The three proposed new road projects
stud ed are:
• Slater Road Connector (Northwest Dr. to City Limits)
• Grandview RoadiWest Pole Road Connector
• Whatcom Connector (Yew Street Rd. to Lake Louise Rd).
While these three possible projects are on the Six -Year Comprehensive Road Program,
construction is not anticipated within the six -year planning period (2001 -2096). Rather,
preliminary engineering to determine project feasibility may w®uld be completed within this
time frame.
Financing for Road Improvement Projects
The total cost of the County road projects, including reconstruction projects, on the Six -
Year Comprehensive Road Program is S47 592 000 . These costs
include $35 031 000 of County funds, with the remainder being
funded by the State and Federal governments. A specific breakdown of these costs and
revenue projections for road construction are shown in Resolution 2002 -031 2004-037
2990 036.
Staff notes:
1. The proposed language is intended to clarify that the three road projects might be
studied during the six -year planning period, depending on funding and future County
Council decisions. (The Council expressed concern about this item at the Public
Works & Capital Projects committee meeting of 10- 8 -02).
2. The Planning Commission considered this six -year capital improvement program in
May of 2002, but the new six -year transportation improvement program was not
approved until July of 2002. Therefore, staff has inserted the information from the
most recent six -year transportation improvement program in the text above.

LUMMIFERRY
Existing Ferry Facilities
Whatcom County currently has one ferry vessel serving Lummi Island. The ferry runs
between Lummi Island and Gooseberry Point on a daily basis. The ferry route is shown
on Map F11.
Future Ferry Needs
The 1997 Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan sets a level of service of 513 ferry
passenger trips annually per capita of Lummi Island population. It is projected that Lummi
Island will have a population of approximately 932 790 people in the year 20086 (compared
to the 2000 1990 census population figure of 812 629). Based upon this population
projection, the ferry would be expected to make carry 478.116 405,270 passenger trips
annually by the year 20086 to meet the level of service set by the County. In 2001 1999,
there were a grand total of 380.915 3.78,507 passenger trips, which included vehicles,
trucks R trailers, bikes, motor cycles, and pedestrians. Therefore, the ferry would have to
provide almost 100.000 more passenger trips annually by the year
20086 to meet the level of service standard set by the County.
It appears that it would be difficult to meet the adopted level of service over the six year
planning period However, two planning documents will be prepared in the near future-
3
The Lummi Island Subarea Plan update will be accomplished first so that ferry planning
can be based upon the updated land use Plan for the Island
