Planning Commission Mission Statement

We Believe:

  • Property owners and residents of White Salmon deserve high-quality, professional community planning services. This includes comprehensive attention to land use, zoning, density regulations, community growth, environmental quality, and the overall enhancement of the community’s quality of life.
  • Land use policies and management practices within the White Salmon Urban Growth Area should align with the city's established goals, objectives, and planning principles.
  • City ordinances should be regularly updated to ensure they support sound land use and community development practices while complying with Washington State Land Use Law.
  • A proactive annexation program should be implemented to incorporate properties contiguous to White Salmon, with the goal of expanding the city’s tax base. This program should consider the capacity of the city’s utilities and street infrastructure to handle the growth.
  • Fiscal policies and decisions must ensure that adequate resources are allocated to meet the department’s mission and achieve its goals effectively.
