1Opinion of the CourtBaker, C.J.
— In the 1990 Growth Management Act (GMA), the state Legislature recognized that uncoordinated and unplanned growth poses a threat to the environment, sustainable economic development, and the health, safety and quality of life. The Act required counties and cities to adopt comprehensive plans which were to be coordinated and consistent with the plans adopted by other counties or cities with which the county or city has common borders or related regional issues, as expressed by the GMA. This requirement is an aspect of comprehensive planning that is integral to the public interest.
