It is the purpose and intent of the City Council in establishing the Growth Management Commission to create an advisory body to provide an independent annual review of the effectiveness of the General Plan regarding development issues.

2.40.030 Functions and duties.
The functions and duties of the Growth Management Oversight Commission are as follows:
A. Consider the quality of life threshold standards set forth in the growth management plan (and, when adopted, in the new growth management ordinance) and make determinations, or recommendations, as appropriate, regarding the following:
1. Whether compliance with the thresholds has been met on both a project and cumulative basis;
2. Whether each threshold is appropriate for its goal;
3. Whether any new threshold should be adopted for any issue;
4. Whether any new issues should be added to or deleted from the thresholds analysis group;
5. Whether the City has been using fees and funds derived from developers for the intended purpose;
6. Whether enforcement is being achieved.
B. Annually, on or before June 30th, make and publish its findings and recommendations, including those for imposition of a moratorium or formal “statement of concern” regarding water, sewer, schools, and air quality thresholds.
C. The Commission’s annual report shall be forwarded to City Council in a timely manner through the Planning Commission.
D. Annually review implementation of the Growth Management Element of the General Plan and the growth management program. Such review shall include the adequacy of master facility plans to account for the effective use of public facilities required by future growth in connection with the planning and phasing of development projects. (Ord. 3211 § 14, 2011; Ord. 2447 § 1, 1991; Ord. 2129 § 1, 1985).
