I received this response to a late night email to the county, and I was not the only person who was having problems from what I hear.
The Whatcom County Council is conducting the Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan and the urban growth area (UGA) review, which are both required by the Growth Management Act under RCW 36.70A.130. It is anticipated that the County Council will adopt an ordinance amending the Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan and UGAs by the end of June 2016.
The County Council will hold public hearings on the Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan on Tuesday, March 22, 2016, at 7 p.m. at the Whatcom County Council Chambers, 311 Grand Avenue, Bellingham. These hearings will give the public the opportunity to provide comments to the County Council relating to the following Comprehensive Plan chapters:
