On November 3, 2009, the Board of County Commissioners temporarily suspended the subarea planning process to complete an investigation into two binders that were returned from American Forest Land Company (AFLC). Materials from all of the binders can be viewed below. As the investigation has not been completed, the planning process continues to be suspended.

Goal of the Teanaway Subarea Plan (From Kittitas County Resolution No: 2009-100)

"The goal of the subarea plan is to promote a long-term plan that identifies and protects the important characteristics and identifies future uses for a majority of the study area:

• In which open space, the natural landscape, and vegetation predominate over the built environment;
• That fosters traditional rural lifestyles, rural-based economies, and opportunities to both live and work in rural areas;
• That provides visual landscapes that are traditionally found in rural areas and communities;
• That are compatible with the use of the land by wildlife and for fish and wildlife habitat; and
• That reduces the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development."

In achieving this goal, the planning process established by the County will consider the full complement of tools available under the Growth Management Act (both rural and urban) to meet the competing needs and interests in the area and the goal noted above, including new or modified rural zones, limited areas of more intensive rural development (LAMIRDS), clustered rural development, overlays addressing opportunities for energy facilities, master planned resorts and fully contained communities.
