The Plan Review Manual provides details on the policy, review and certification process. It also provides guidance and checklists for aligning plans and policies with VISION 2050 and Growth Management Act requirements.

The Plan Review Manual describes expectations for both amendments and updates to countywide planning policies, local comprehensive plans, transit agency plans, and regional center subarea plans.
Note: It is intended that you use only those portions that are most relevant to your specific type of plan.The Plan Review Manual is in the process of being updated to reflect VISION 2050, the newly adopted long-range plan. PSRC has assembled a Plan Review Working Group, comprised of local planning staff and state representatives, to inform this project.
