Audit Results <br />Exhibit 9 — Snohomish waiver template sent with first review letter <br />Snohomish County Planning & Development <br />Everett, OVA 98201-4N6 <br />Re: <br />Dear Project Manager: <br />1 would like to waive the processing requirement that the final decision for n,y <br />Proposal fol <br />acres, must be issued within 120 days as specified in Snohomish <br />County Code section 30.70.110. Please continue to review the application beyond <br />the specified time limitations. <br />Sincerely, <br />Applicant <br />Source: Snohomish County. <br />Using waivers to entirely eliminate application deadlines does not align with state <br />law and creates two issues. First, it circumvents the 120-day rule, which reduces <br />government accountability and process predictability, a key Growth Management <br />Act goal. Second, it increases the risk for additional delays, because a project <br />without a deadline is less likely to be completed in a timely manner. An alternative <br />to waivers is an extension for a specified time period, which is allowed by state law. <br />Growth Management Act - Audit Results ' 26 <br />
