Comprehensive planning is a process that determines community goals and aspirations in terms of community development. The comprehensive plan guides public policy in terms of transportation, utilities, land use, recreation, and housing. Over the past 50+ years the Grays Harbor County Planning Commission & Staff have assembled a set of documents that establishes the long-range planning policy for unincorporated Grays Harbor County (those areas outside of incorporated City and Towns) and forms the backbone of Grays Harbor County zoning laws.

The Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by the BOCC, is comprised of the following planning elements:

  • Land Use and Rural Lands Element
  • Housing and Community Element
  • Transportation Element
  • Comprehensive Flood Hazard Management
  • Capital Facilities Element
  • Park Element
  • Resource Lands and Critical Areas Element
  • Utilities Element
