Welcome! to Community Development's application information page.  This page contains information regarding the application process as well as links to Pacific County development application forms.  This site is designed to assist the applicant in completing the necessary applications for a project.  The application process is fairly simple, but will require complete and accurate information to proceed smoothly.  Certain review functions require specific application forms asking for site and project specific information.  Other forms are designed to provide enough general information in order to satisfy multiple review requirements.  

This page is not designed to answer all of your questions or furnish all of the necessary forms associated with your development project, but to provide a point at which to begin.  Please call either of the offices listed above and the staff will guide you through the application process.  A guide to completing each step follows.

    An on-site visit from a Pacific County Planner will be conducted for the following areas of review: Critical Areas & Resource Lands, Shorelines, Zoning, Roads, and Land Alteration & Drainage. Your property will be evaluated to assess potential environmental impacts and to identify the appropriate permitting process for your particular project. Depending upon the scope of your project, and your site’s natural features, your review process may be fairly simple or relatively complex. This initial review process may take up to two weeks to complete.  To help facilitate your application, please complete all the questions on the application form.

    Road Approach

    Pacific County regulates private access (driveways, roads) onto County road for the purpose of ensuring safe access is provided without impeding or jeopardizing the motoring public.  If your driveway connects to a county road, we will provide you minimum construction and safety standards through a road approach permit.  If your driveway connects to a state highway, you will need a State Department of Transportation access permit, call (360) 905-2295.
