Comparison of 2025 to 2018 PROS Plan

The 2025 PROS Plan has the task to build on and make updated improvements from the previous 2018 PROS Plan. Instead the draft 2025 version is a rewritten document that doesn’t reflect back to 2018, eliminates or adds goals  not presented for public discussion and doesn’t always align with the current Comprehensive Plan. As stated in the 2025 PROS Plan Preface (p.5) “The PROS Plan is intended to refresh and update”, and as stated in the Purpose section (p. 4), “is an element of the Kitsap County’s Comprehensive Plan.” 

The 2018 PROS Plan is 45 pages in length. The 2025 Draft is 147 pages and 638 pages of appendices. Completion and release of the Plan to the public was delayed for months. Much of the text is repetitive and some of it is not internally consistent and hard to follow. It represents a radical departure from the style and substance of the 2018 plan. There has been little effort to show what parts of the plan are changes from the 2018 plan. Meaningful review of it is very difficult and time-consuming. The draft plan is months overdue without any chance for review and input from concerned groups such as the Parks Advisory Board or KEC. The public and concerned groups should be given additional time to digest this lengthy document and to make meaningful suggestions or voice concerns about changes in park policy and planning.
