A goal of the Growth Management Act of 1990 is to “Maintain and enhance natural resource-based industries, including productive timber, agricultural, and fisheries industries...[and] Encourage the conservation of productive forest lands and productive agricultural lands, and discourage incompatible uses.” The Act requires local governments to classify and designate agricultural, forest and mineral resource lands and to adopt interim development regulations to assure their conservation. This chapter supports County-wide efforts to maintain, enhance, and to conserve resource lands, and to discourage incompatible uses adjacent to resource lands, particularly forest and mineral lands.
