AI Summary
This bill aims to streamline development regulations in Washington state. It requires counties and cities planning under the Growth Management Act to apply clear and objective design review standards for new development, with some exceptions for designated landmarks or historic districts. The bill also encourages local governments to adopt expedited review processes for development projects that are consistent with adopted regulations or include affordable housing units for low-income or moderate-income households.
