Statement of Function
The two main responsibilities of this section are to implement County comprehensive plan environmental policies
and to enforce general codes and ordinances enacted by the County to protect community standards. Specific duties
involve approving various permits (e.g. land clearing, tree removal, sign zoning, home occupations), issuing code
violation citations, and performing site plan reviews and inspections. Environmental planning also falls under this
section's duties, including environmental aspects of comprehensive planning and site plan review. This section’s
staff also coordinates several advisory committees, including the County Land Acquisition Advisory Committee
(LAAC), the Marine Resources/Narrows Watershed Action Committee (MANWAC) and the Historic Resources
Advisory Committee (HRAC). |
