Countywide Planning Polices include specific criteria for Manufacturing /Industrial <br /> Centers; <br /> b. Jurisdictions electing to contain a Manufacturing /Industrial Center provided the <br /> Growth Management Planning Council with a statement specifying how the Center <br /> will meet the intent of the Countywide Policies, including plans to adopt criteria, <br /> incentives, and other commitments to implement Manufacturing/ Industrial Centers; <br /> c. The Growth Management Planning Council reviewed the Manufacturing/ Industrial <br /> Centers elected by local jurisdictions consistent with policy FW -1, and the following <br /> criteria: <br /> 1. The Center's location in the region, especially relative to existing and <br /> proposed transportation facilities and its potential for promoting a Countywide <br /> system of Manufacturing/ Industrial Centers; <br /> 2. The total number of Centers that are needed in the County over the next 20- <br /> years based on 20 years projected need for manufacturing land to satisfy regional <br /> projections of demand for manufacturing land that assume a ten percent increase <br /> in manufacturing jobs over this period; <br /> 3. The type and level of commitments that each jurisdiction has identified for <br /> achieving Manufacturing/ Industrial Center goals; <br /> 4. Review of other jurisdictional plans to ensure that growth focused to <br /> Manufacturing/ Industrial Centers is assured; and <br /> 5. The accessibility of the Center to existing or planned transportation facilities. <br /> d. The Growth Management Planning Council confirmed the following <br /> Manufacturing /Industrial Centers: North Tukwila /Duwamish, Ballard /Interbay, the <br /> Kent Industrial Area, and Redmond Overtake. <br /> Analysis: The factors that supported the designation of Tukwila's MIC are still relevant. <br /> Manufacturing /Industrial Center Criteria <br /> LU -52 Each jurisdiction which contains a regional Manufacturing/ Industrial Center shall <br /> adopt in its comprehensive plan a definition of the Center which specifies the exact <br /> geographic boundaries of the Center.
