Co-Chair Mock acknowledged new members to the Regional Staff Committee (RSC): Marianna Hanefeld, Snohomish County Transportation Coalition representing PSRC Special Needs Transportation Committee; Robin Mayhew, WSDOT; Joyce Nichols, Bellevue; and Danielle Butsick, Kent, sitting in for Charlene Anderson. Mark Gulbranson, RSC Co-Chair announced that he would be leaving the committee and that Ben Bakkenta, Senior Program Manager Regional Planning, would be taking his place as PSRC RSC Co-Chair. He noted that letters regarding membership changes had been sent to RSC member jurisdictions and asked that responses be received by the end of February. There were around the room introductions. Alex Tsimerman and Marguerite Richard provided public comment. Reports Co-Chair Mock informed the committee that the Regional Staff Committee (RSC) meeting summary and PSRC board report was in the packet. The meeting summary for December was corrected to show Craig Kenworthy as in attendance. There were no updates from the planning department and the meeting proceeded to presentations. Critical Areas Monitoring & Adaptive Management Workshop Heather Ballash from the Washington State Department of Commerce informed the committee that there will be a series of workshops around the state to explore tools and ways that local government can monitor their critical areas regulations under the Growth Management Act. One of those workshops will be held at PSRC on February 27, 2018. Ms. Ballash discussed the preliminary workshop agenda and asked committee members for feedback on content. RSC members suggested engaging the Ports on this topic. For more information, contact Heather Ballash, Washington State Department of Commerce, (360) 725-3044, heather.ballash@commerce.wa.gov. Regional Centers Framework Update Liz Underwood-Bultmann informed the committee that the Growth Management Policy Board (GMPB) continued their review of the Centers Framework comments and provided direction to staff at the January 4 meeting. The board chose to delay action until the February 1 meeting. Regional Staff Committee-February 15, 2018 Item 3a Packet Pg. 2

Ms. Underwood-Bultmann clarified that the most current version of the proposal was the December 14 version included in the RSC agenda packet. The proposal incorporates changes and minor comments suggested in the public comment period, provides a source for what edits were made and includes a revised designation section. The table summarizing comments received during the comment period was linked in the packet. At the January 4 meeting, GMPB directed staff to provide additional language regarding the 2020 plan deadline, market study and mix of uses. Staff will be providing language on those topics for the February GMPB meeting. Ms. Underwood-Bultmann stated that the additional language will be included in the agenda packet released one week before the meeting. RSC members asked for more time to review the additional language. Ms. Underwood-Bultmann provided an overview of the amendments brought to the January GMPB meeting from Pierce County, King County and Ports. The amendments will be included in the February GMPB agenda packet. GMPB will consider amendments and recommendations at the February meeting and possibly act on the proposal. RSC members commented that the additional proposed amendments were conflicting and asked what was the strategy to come to a consensus. Staff commented that board members may be reaching out to each other and will vote on the amendments introduced. If there are additional discussions or changes to the amendments, RSC members asked when they should be submitted for the GMPB agenda packet. For more information, contact Liz Underwood-Bultmann, PSRC (206) 464-6174, lunderwood-bultmann@psrc.org. Update on VISION 2050 Paul Inghram shared that GMPB has directed staff to proceed with developing the VISION 2050 scoping statement to be released for public comment February 2 through March 19. In February, there will be public scoping sessions in each county to solicit public input. PSRC will reach out to countywide planning forum briefings and other PSRC committees to seek comments and host an opportunity to verbally comment at the March 1 GMPB meeting. Mr. Inghram reviewed the draft project schedule for the VISION 2050 work program and presented a preliminary work program structure to address the Regional Growth Strategy. He noted that issue areas could be addressed as they were in the Regional Transportation Plan, planning for extended board work sessions with each focused on a few issues. RSC members commented that it would be helpful to engage members of the committee earlier in the process to help develop scenarios and draft policy language. RSC members suggested two working groups, one working on Regional Growth Strategy and another on policies with other non-member RSC jurisdictions participating. Mr. Inghram informed the committee that GMPB will meet February 1 and the scoping statement will be released for public comment February 2. In the upcoming months the GMPB and RSC will discuss public engagement, background and performance information, and refine the project scope. For more information, contact Paul Inghram, PSRC (206) 464-7549, pinghram@psrc.org; Michael Hubner, PSRC (206) 971-3289, mhubner@psrc.org. Draft VISION 2050 Public Engagement Plan Laura Benjamin informed the committee that staff has developed a draft public engagement plan, putting together guidelines on how PSRC plans to engage with a variety of stakeholders over the next two years as we update VISION 2050. Maggie Moore stated that PSRC will build on the work we have done with community based organizations and reaching historically underrepresented groups, while also incorporating best practices and new tools, and meeting state and agency requirements for public participation. She reviewed the five goals for engagement. Ms. Benjamin shared that PSRC will use a variety of tools and techniques to achieve these engagement goals. She highlighted a direct engagement timeline and reviewed the planned engagement activities. Ms. Benjamin noted those events which would provide ideal opportunities to engage with different communities. A social equity RFP was released last week looking for technical assistance on PSRC public engagement. She announced that the Peer Networking Series format will change to 3-hour workshops held every quarter, with topics to be determined through VISION 2050 scoping. PSRC is also reaching out to community partners to identify established events and communication channels that PSRC can connect with. RSC members asked if PSRC members would attend other jurisdiction public meetings. RSC members asked if PSRC would be open to attending established county groups and how best to share PSRC information. PSRC staff are open to attending public and community group meetings, and will prioritize requests. PSRC would ask members to forward on information to their contact groups. Regional Staff Committee-February 15, 2018 Item 3a Packet Pg. 3

Ms. Moore informed the committee that PSRC will continue to use printed and digital materials, social media and offer opportunities for technical support. The agency has a new Instagram account, @soundregion, to share information. The engagement plan will go to GMPB February 1 and will continue in draft form throughout the process and be updated as engagement opportunities are identified. For more information, contact Laura Benjamin, PSRC (206) 464-7134, lbenjamin@psrc.org; Maggie Moore, PSRC (206) 464-6171, mmoore@psrc.org. Regional Open Space Conservation Plan Update Erika Harris informed the committee that the draft Regional Open Space Conservation Plan will be ready by the end of the month. Ms. Harris and Maria Sandercock provided a high-level overview of the contents in each chapter of the draft plan. The Regional Open Space Advisory Committee, made up of members from cities, counties, tribes, nonprofits and working lands businesses, has reviewed the preliminary draft and assisted with its development. The next step will be to release the plan by the end of January with a six-week comment period. A more final plan will be available this summer. RSC members asked whether the plan included a risk assessment of the lands, especially natural areas, that are most at risk from current development trends and pressures. Ms. Harris shared that the plan discusses highest threat areas and would welcome further input. There was a request to not prioritize too much within each county and watershed because at this stage the counties would like to be able to do that. For more information, contact Erika Harris, PSRC (206) 464-6360, eharris@psrc.org; Maria Sandercock, PSRC (206) 971-3298, msandercock@psrc.org. Regional Transportation Plan Update: Preliminary Themes from Public Comment Ms. Kelly McGourty informed the committee that the Regional Transportation Plan had been released for public comment through January 31. There have been 69 individual respondents to date. There are no recurring themes at this point, it is a balanced suite of comments on a variety of issues. She highlighted comments received on expanding light rail and transit service, supporting specific facilities (I5 & I405 in particular), encouraging more improvements in safety and specifically traffic technology, alleviating the burdens on the HOV system, providing more accessible transportation throughout the region. Other topics had comments on both sides of the issue, for example vehicle user fees, vehicle capacity versus reducing vehicle trips and climate change. In February, the RSC will receive another briefing on all public comments received. PSRC will be processing all the comments received and drafting our responses to them for board consideration in March. The board is scheduled to make a recommendation on the final plan in April, with General Assembly action in May. For more information, contact Kelly McGourty, PSRC (206) 971-3601, kmcgourty@psrc.org Information Co-Chair Mock informed the committee that the Peer Networking Event on Disaster Mitigation and Management would follow in the Board Room at 12:00 pm.

MEMORANDUM February 15, 2018 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Regional Staff Committee Kelly McGourty, Senior Program Manager Transportation Planning, PSRC Regional Transportation Plan: Public Comment & Approval Schedule In Brief The comment period for the Regional Transportation Plan concluded on January 31, 2018.

MEMORANDUM February 15, 2018 TO: FROM: Regional Staff Committee Carol Naito, Program Manager, PSRC SUBJECT: Regional Macroeconomic Forecast to 2050 In Brief At its February meeting, the Regional Staff Committee will be briefed on PSRC s latest regional macroeconomic forecast (provisional) which has been extended out to the year 2050 and establishes the long-range growth assumptions for VISION 2050. Discussion PSRC s macroeconomic forecast is a long-range projection of jobs, population, households, and other economic and demographic variables at the regional scale. PSRC refreshes this forecast every 2-4 years and has been working with the economic consulting firm ECONorthwest (Portland, OR) to update and refine our model and extend the forecast out to the year 2050 for the first time. The macroeconomic forecast provides big-picture regional control total inputs to PSRC s land use, travel demand, and other downstream models and tools. It also establishes the future growth assumptions that will be used to support the development of the VISION 2050 plan, including extension of the regional growth strategy out to 2050 as well as environmental analysis of the VISION plan alternatives. 2050 Population and Employment The region is projected to reach a total of 5.8 million people and 3.4 million jobs by the year 2050. This translates into an additional 1.8 million people and 1.2 million jobs being added to the region between now and 2050. The jobs forecast reflects a slight upward increase from our previous series, attributable to the strength of the regional economy relative to the broader U.S. economy in the recovery period from the Great Recession. The population forecast reflects a more substantial upward adjustment from the previous series, in part due to the higher jobs forecast but primarily due to model adjustments that better account for the relationship between job growth, the workforce population, and the aging of the boomer generation in the forthcoming decades. Seniors as a share of the region s total population nearly doubles from 2000 to 2030, when the last baby boomer crosses the threshold into retirement age. The revised forecast better reflects the resulting bump in the 65+ age cohort as well as an increase in the 20-64 age cohort due to inmigration by working age adults to meet the labor force demands of the growing regional economy. Regional Staff Committee-February 15, 2018 Item 5 Packet Pg. 7

2050 Households and Household Size The region is projected to add 830,000 households to reach a total of 2.4 million households by the year 2050. Average household size (or persons-per-household ratio), which has been relatively stable over the last two and a half decades, is anticipated to begin declining again as boomers age and the number of empty-nester and one-person households increases. Decreasing fertility rates also contribute to this trend. A smaller persons-per-household ratio translates into a greater demand for housing to meet the needs of a growing population. Next Steps The forecast is expected to be finalized in Spring 2018 and will establish the growth assumptions that will inform VISION 2050 planning work moving forward.

MEMORANDUM February 15, 2018 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Regional Staff Committee Michael Hubner, Principal Planner, PSRC Maggie Moore, Assistant Planner, PSRC Trends Shaping the Region In Brief At the February meeting, PSRC staff will present data on trends shaping the region as background to the VISION 2050 planning process. The committee will be asked to provide feedback, including implications for project scoping. Discussion The Growth Management Policy Board will review various types of information as it defines a scope for the VISION 2050 planning process this spring. The board will consider how the region has changed since the adoption of VISION 2040, major indicators of progress toward achieving the region s stated goals, and data that highlight major issues facing the region that may benefit from additional regional planning and coordinated actions. To support this work, PSRC staff has identified key data that indicate major trends that have shaped the region in recent years and are expected to shape the region into the future. The data report is intended as a background report for VISION 2050 addressing a range of policy areas, including growth, the economy, housing, social equity, transportation, and the environment. PSRC staff will present data points as they relate to these topics, along with observations on how they may inform planning for 2050. The Committee will be asked to provide feedback on the report, adding observations on implications for VISION 2050 as well as suggestions for any additional data that should be highlighted for the board. Next Steps A final presentation summarizing these data trends will be presented to the Growth Management Policy Board on March 1. This data will continue to be used and updated as it related for the planning process.

MEMORANDUM February 15, 2018 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Regional Staff Committee Michael Hubner, Principal Planner, PSRC Regional Growth Strategy Update Process In Brief PSRC staff will provide an overview of a proposed process for updating and extending the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) for VISION 2050. The committee will be asked for feedback on technical framework, data, and process involving both board and committee members. Discussion VISION 2050 will extend the Regional Growth Strategy out another decade beyond the current plan horizon of 2040 to 2050. Development of this extended and updated strategy will incorporate lessons learned from efforts to implement the existing strategy along with future opportunities to focus growth within urban areas. VISION 2040 promotes a desired pattern of population and employment growth throughout the central Puget Sound region. Specifically, the Regional Growth Strategy provides numeric guidance for each of the counties to establish 20-year growth targets, in coordination with their cities, for the purposes of comprehensive planning by each jurisdiction under the Growth Management Act. The strategy reflects several principles in VISION 2040, including: Protecting the natural environment and resource lands Minimizing growth in the Rural area Focusing growth within Urban Growth Areas, cities, and centers Improving the balance of jobs and housing across the region Recognizing differences in each county Achieving a growth pattern that is efficient to serve with infrastructure Minimizing GHG emissions that affect the climate During the scoping period for VISION 2050, the Growth Management Policy Board will initiate a collaborative process for considering the extension of the current strategy and any potential modifications to it for environmental review in an anticipated Supplemental EIS. This process will begin in spring 2018 and extend through early 2019. At today s meeting, PSRC staff will outline a proposed schedule for the work on the Regional Growth Strategy. This work is expected to occur in several phases, as follows: Regional Staff Committee-February 15, 2018 Item 7 Packet Pg. 10

Spring 2018. Review background on RGS. Review stakeholder input, relevant data, and analytic tools. Develop guiding principles and evaluation criteria. Develop draft no action alternative. Support multi-board work session planned for June 2018. Summer to Fall 2018. Development of one or more growth scenarios for early evaluation. Consider modifications to the Regional Geography definitions. Fall 2018 to Winter 2019. Evaluate growth scenarios as a basis for recommending a no action alternative along with one or more alternatives for environmental review. Consider potential actions to implement growth strategy to be included in VISION 2050. PSRC staff has been working to identify ingredients for the Regional Growth Strategy update. These include relevant policies in VISION 2040, GMA goals and requirements, and recently updated local comprehensive plans. VISION 2050 scoping will solicit input from the public and stakeholders on the growth strategy and related issues, which will supplement information gleaned from regional plan certification and Taking Stock 2016. Finally, a variety of data and analytic steps will inform and shape the growth strategy, encompassing regional forecasts, development trends, land use capacity, transportation investments and capacity, environmental factors, and market conditions related to economic development and housing affordability. The committee will review a preliminary set of factors and provide feedback to staff. A no action scenario is under development as a starting point and point of comparison for any alternatives that may be developed through this process. Staff will brief the committee on a proposed methodology for extending the VISION 2040 Regional Growth Strategy in a straight line approach out to 2050 using the recently released draft regional forecast of population and jobs. The committee will be asked to provide feedback on this early work. Finally, staff will describe potential roles for the GMPB, Regional Staff Committee, and smaller forums for board and committee members to work collaboratively. Updating the strategy will involve important policy decisions by PSRC boards about how the region will accommodate what is anticipated to continued robust growth in population, housing, and employment. Committee members bring a wealth of technical expertise, experience working collaboratively on regional issues, and local knowledge to the table. Given the anticipated level of detail involved in designing alternatives for board consideration, a smaller working group may be a good option for completing the work within the relatively short project timeline. With regard to process and roles, the committee will be asked to discuss questions such as: How can the Regional Staff Committee as a body can best support the Regional Growth Strategy update? Which members of the committee have the interest, background, and availability to contribute more intensively to the strategy, such as through a separate working group? Next Steps At its next meeting on March 1, the GMPB will hear presentations on and discuss several elements related to the Regional Growth Strategy. These include a briefing on the anticipated growth strategy update process, 2050 regional forecasts, comparison of actual vs. planned growth based on the December 2017 presentation to the Regional Staff Committee, and a background report on additional trends shaping the region.
