The current Silverdale Regional Center Subarea Plan, aka Silverdale Center Plan, was updated as part of the 2024 Comprehensive Plan update, but greater detail is needed in a completely refreshed and improved Subarea Plan, including more detail related to ‘regional growth centers’ development, public investment, transportation improvements, design standards, and development code. The evolution of Silverdale Regional Center is a key aspect of the County and Regional Growth Strategy.
Kitsap County must ensure the Center meets PSRC requirements to retain Regional Growth Center status. PSRC will be recertifying all Regional Growth Centers in December of 2025 to ensure they meet minimum standards. Centers that do not meet those standards are subject to losing their “Center” designation, which would severely jeopardize regional funding for transportation and other infrastructure to support planned growth. The Silverdale Regional Growth Center does not currently meet PSRC’s minimum standards needed for recertification. The following are critical steps in ensuring Silverdale maintains its Center designation:- Coordination with PSRC
- Coordination with Public Works
- Completion of a market study (currently underway)
- Submission of a recertification application report
